Ghuppet

77:

We've successfully summoned Specimen 6 to the mansion via the same computer we used to summon Specimen 4, this time, it went a lot better, much like last time, the specimen has fallen unconscious, but this time it didn't take as many attempts.
We picked up and carried the giant puppet over to his dungeon like room and shut the door, I took the pleasure of watching over Specimen 6 from an office with a camera connected to his room, and once he wakes, the experimentation will begin.
Hopefully he wakes up just as fast as Specimen 4 did, I am not willing to sit here for hours and maybe even days just so this old man wakes up, I may enjoy my job but that doesn't mean I'm willing to waste so much time for it..

I sometimes feel as though I'm wasting my time just carrying the whole team on my back, especially when I have to deal with those who don't even do anything to help out at all, especially 1313
He doesn't do anything to help us, he preaches about how kidnapping is bad as if these guys would be any safer outside of the mansion, and plus, it's good to test out our creations and learn more about strange anomalies, and what better way than to take those nobody will miss and those who are stupid and worth nothing, not EVER have I seen the families of any of those we've kidnapped come looking for them, that probably means they don't deserve love at all, especially the Specimen 1s, Specimen 3.1 and Specimen 5, the 1s and 3.1 are disrespectful and violent towards us, and Specimen 5 is an idiot, ooooh I remember how they kept shoving every shape into the square hole simply because it could fit !!!

Yes, Specimen 5 is so stupid that we had to test if it had basic toddler intelligence, I don't care if it isn't human, it's still stupid, and yet 1313 has a huge love for this thing

Hopefully, this new one will have at least some basic intelligence, we know he used to run a market of toys to sell to children, then he drowned to death and started to kill those same kids,  how pathetic... Yet powerful, and possibly even a little bit smart, you have to have some brainpower to be able to successfully murder someone and get away with it and to make toys ( even if they're silly )

Specimen 6 grunted and got up, stumbling a few times, I adjusted the microphone and smiled, holding my papers close to me
Specimen 6 started to panic and look around, calling out for people and running around the room, I turned on the speaker and said; " hello there ! I'm 77, and you're Specimen 6 "
" Wh- " I could tell he was confused, and also a little bit offended, he's already letting my words get to his head, " - My name is- " " you were brought here to be studied, and the studying begins now, please cooperate, I'd prefer for things to go well between you and the rest of us "
" What- what do you mean ?! "
" Just follow the instructions given to you "

Just as I finished speaking, a prisoner was thrown in, in place of arms, he had wings, though he's unable to actually fly, his legs are buffed up but his ribcage lining can be seen through his outfit. Specimen 6 gasped and backed up a bit, grabbing a needle from his belt, " woah- woah- uhhh- "
" Kill him, or at least try to "
" I... O- okay ???? "
Specimen 6 stood still, staring at the prisoner without even closing his eyes, but as soon as the prisoner blinked, Specimen 6 flew up, appeared behind him and stabbed him, the prisoner hissed in pain, stumbling and turning around to look at Specimen 6, who was just staring akwardly at the guy.
This repeated twice more before the prisoner went down, his body was taken away and Specimen 6 looked upward, appearing confused, as if he's trying to find me

" .... Uh... Why- "
" You're an anomaly, we must gather data on you, seeing your strengths, speed, weaknesses, among many other things, will aid us in our research "
" Uh... Cool ??? .. wait- I'm Specimen 6 ? "
" Yes, for you are our 6th specimen "
" Where are the other specimen ? "
" It is best we do not disclose their exact location, our rules and protocol do not allow Specimen to meet nor leave their respective locales for safety reasons, but they are here in this mansion "
Specimen 6 looked confused, and a little bit frightened. He scratched the back off his neck, bouncing his leg and biting his lip, appearing very nervous, " ah- so - there are others like me here, I'm just not allowed to meet them nor leave my room ? " " Correct "

Specimen 6 nodded, wiping the blood off his needle witt his bare, wooden hand, thankfully, this one was an easy one to deal with and handle, hopefully he's just like this while interviewing him
Since it seems he's moderately relaxed, we can begin the interview right away

I pressed the button to call on the interviewers, they walked through into Specimen 6's room, paper and pens on the ready
Specimen 6 was ordered to sit down and obliged, he stared at the interviewers, still seeming mentally lost
The interviewers clicked their pens.
I looked at my papers and found the questions

" So, Specimen 6, what would you consider to be a weakness for you ? "
" .... " He stayed quiet for a bit " how am I supposed to know you won't use this against me ? "
Very clever.. I like that, but this must go on
" Answer "
" Wwwwaaterrr ???? I'm not a good swimmer "
The interviewers wrote down his answer, Specimen 6 places his elbows on his kneecaps and rested his head on the palms of his hands
" Wha about strengths ? "
" ... Crafting, murder, uh... Yea, that's about it "
" Mmmhhmm.. what was your life before being taken here ? " Just because we know a fair bit about him, doesn't mean it isn't wise to get things from his point of view, it's important to know everything
" ... Iiii.. liked selling toys to kids- " "after your death" " uh .. bloody ?? There uh- there was a lot of blood and death and- uuuuh.... " He shrugged, seemingly not knowing what else to say

There was no sounds outside of Specimen 6 tapping his needle and the sound of my pen moving as I wrote down the necessary information
Specimen 6 clicked his tongue, breaking the silence, " ...what- what else do you need to know ? "
" Thats all ... for now, Thank you for cooperating and following instructions, you are the easiest specimen to deal with thus far "
He smiled akwardly and nodded " uh- you're welcome! Thank you ? "
" Mhm, merry Christmas " and so I left, finally, the interviews are somewhat boring, but I'll do most things for my work

On my way out, heading towards my dorm to update the CAT-DOS, I bumped into...... Her... Eugh..
1313... The happy go lucky " sweetheart ", half of us hate her, half of us love her because of how kind she is, she's so kind that she tried quitting because after the kidnapping of Specimen 5, she thought we were too much, well too bad, she's stuck with us now, and so far has surprisingly not been any dead weight, we don't make her do experiments, and since most of the specimen like her, we mostly choose her only for interviews
Sometimes.. I feel as though our labs would be far better without her, she'd make an interesting specimen seeing how optimistic and loving she is...

Hmm..

1313 flinched, she looked at me and bscked up out of my way, looking nervous, " uh.. sorry- "
" Watch it !! I'm holding some very important documents !! "
" Y- yeah- sorry ! Are you ok ?? "
I huffed and bumped her roughly, she rubbed the part where I hit her and she rolled her eyes, walking away
Sure, perhaps that contradicts how I described her, but you must keep in mind how I said she doesn't like what we do, it's no wonder why she doesn't like me much, and I don't like her back.

I don't care how much the others love her, these people and Specimen are idiots anyway

... I keep getting an idea in my head.. relating to 1313...
No
I hate her, but she's not worth risking my job over...
