"Alright. . .let's start this off. . ." The woman clears her throat before sitting down and tapping the pile of papers on her lap together. She takes a deep breath as she fixes her glasses to read over what was scribed on the papers.

"This has come to a shock to my colleagues and I. . .we weren't expecting such things to be conducted within this facility." Her eyebrows scrunch together. "There has been talk about a new technology being developed yet that we were not informed of. . .that we are not supposed to be informed of. None of the employees. Not even our bosses, managers, and supervisors. We don't exactly know who chose to conduct these. . .experiments. . .where the goal remains. . ." She flips through the stacks of papers.

"Unclear. . .we don't know why the company has chosen to resort to this. What had they discovered that we don't know for them to go this far?" She then exhales a breath as she flips to a page. "Live Anthro-experiments." She pulls out the pictures. Each depicting gruesome and gut-churning images of Anthros being methodically severed to pieces. The foul works of what happened to the test subjects heavily imply this was done by a professional and not some outback serial killer.

"Each cut, each stitch line, each chemical being injected within their bodies showed a reason for this. But that reason was not yet clear enough. . .and I'm trying to find out why." Her ears suddenly perk up and she jerks her head to her right. She shook it off and was left with nothing but the sound of the whir of the vent fans above her and the silence of the lab.

"All of these are evidence that I've compiled against the SIU. Photos, logbooks, research papers. . .things that I've taken from them along with the help of my few trusted colleagues who had suspicions against what is happening behind the scenes of the SIU headquarters."

"But I already know that somewhere down the line one of us will get caught. It's bound to happen. . ."

"I've created this holographic projection unit. It's an old prototype. . .one of my first projects that I've left unfinished during my early days as an employee for the SIU corporation. The hologram is. . .yet to be polished. I'm still working on it. But with this device. . .I can guarantee the evidence will be kept safe. . .safer than paper copies itself with no digital footprint. Even if the SIU manages to get their hands on this, accessing the information should be damn near impossible thanks to the self-destruct feature if it ever gets pried open."
