Observations from experiment one and two – logging...
Patient 314 can be manipulated into submission with extreme sensory input and enhanced by the taking of life. Still unsure of the cause, whether it is life force, chemical reaction in the brain, or simply a deranged perception. If it is life force or a chemical reaction we can control it and perfect it. If 314 has created this illusion it won't be so easy to control. Maybe even impossible to control. Today we attempt to measure how much a life is worth.

A woman is introduced to the room. 314 does not seem to notice.
Dr. - Please, 314, only a few more before this stage of testing is over.
314 - Why did the little girl look the same? Why are they all the same? WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
314 pounds on the glass.
Dr. - Kill her.

A woman is introduced to the room.
314 - Who are you?
Woman - I am Test 3.2. Please kill me.
314 - Why do you want me to kill you?
Test 3.2 - So that you can be cured.
314 - But don't you want to live? To experience life outside of these walls?
Test 3.2 - I live only to be killed. Please kill me.
314 - Why do you look just like the last woman?
Test 3.2 - Please kill me.
314 begins striking Test 3.2 in the face and chest. 314 screams in pain due to a broken bone in the hand. While clutching the hand to his chest 314 kicks Test 3.2 until she drops. He stomps repeatedly. An orderly and a nurse enter the room, pulling 314 away from the crushed skull to treat his hand. The body is removed and floor cleaned.

The final woman is introduced to the room.
314 - Mom?
Woman - Oh [Removed] I thought I'd never see you again. Are you ok? What is this place?
314 - Some kind of lab or something. They are experimenting on me. I.. I've done bad things, mom.
Woman - Hush now everything is alright. Mommies here. [She holds 314 close, stroking his hair]
314 - I think I broke m..
Dr. - Kill her, 314.
314 - Wait, what? Kill my mom? No fucking way! Are you kiddi..
Dr. - Kill her.
Woman - Who are you? What are you doing to my son?
Dr. - Kill her now.
314 is shocked with 50,000 volts. He is shaking his head, tears in his eyes. The woman is striding toward the glass. She pounds on it, then moves to the wall where she entered the room, pounding on it.
314 - I love you, mom.
She crumples to the ground, neck broken.

Dinner is brought to 314.
Dr. - Please, eat. You need your strength.
314 - Fuck you.
Dr. - Oh come now. I thought we were past all of that nonsense. There is only one more test today and then you'll be moving on to the next phase in testing. I promise you'll enjoy it much, much better. Now eat your dinner and I'll bring you your dessert soon.
314 slowly eats the food. As soon as the last bite is eaten Dr. Feldman enters the room holding a plate with a large slice of carrot cake. Dr. Feldman sits next to 314, offering him the cake. 314 begins eating.
After two bites 314 takes the fork and jams it into the throat of Dr. Feldman. Blood spurts out all over the carrot cake and 314's face.
[Clap, clap, clap] Dr. Feldman can be seen just beyond the observation glass.

The observation glass switches to television mode, displaying CCTV footage with timestamp matching the present time. The footage is of 314's home. His mother passes by one camera, emerges on another in 314's room. She sits and cries.
