1. Project Summary
1.1 Research Title
Gene Evolution and Regenerative Stability Threshold Study (GERSTS). Codename: Grimes
1.2 Partners
Advent Pharmaceuticals (R&D); NDS (funding, security, data processing)
1.3 Core Goal
Find the exact tipping point where HIEROS-I contamination causes a complex life system to collapse. Then test whether, in a controlled setting, the contamination can push past the Hayflick limit, trigger controlled directed evolution, and force a "stable transition" in biomass.
1.4 Core Theory
HIEROS-I contamination is a high-energy, unstable information-energy carrier. With a precise dose below the collapse threshold, and the right resonance field, it may rewrite telomerase coding, unlock totipotent stem cell potential, and let an organism absorb energy from the environment, possibly even Authority energy. The intended result is called a "Stable Evolved Body."
2. Facility and Parameters
2.1 Main Test Site
Underground waste pools in Sector 7 industrial zone (modified)
2.2 Protection Rating
Designed to withstand an inward energy implosion equivalent to 500,000 tons of TNT, plus Level VII biological contamination.
2.3 Key Equipment:
(1) Y-contaminant high-purity concentration array ("Source Well")
(2) Phase resonance tower (creates the "contamination control field")
(3) Multiple life-support and monitoring units (for restraining test subjects)
(4) Third-generation Athena real-time calculation system (predicts the critical point)
3. Incident Records
[Log Fragment - 72 Hours Before Incident]
Under preset Y-3 exposure, test subject Grimes showed telomere damage reversing. Recorded cell division exceeded the theoretical limit by 117%. Mental monitoring showed unusually active cortex signals, but it stayed within control protocols. Project lead Daniel J. Nikolov approved the next step: add low-intensity Authority resonance simulation to test the "energy digestion" theory.
[Log Fragment - 3.2 Seconds Before Incident]
The Athena system issued a top-priority warning. It detected non-design harmonics between Grimes' internal contamination level and the external resonance field. HIEROS-I energy readings began rising exponentially and broke past the safety model. Control field stability dropped to 12%.
[Final Report - Moment of Accident]
The control field failed within milliseconds. The HIEROS-I contamination didn't spread. It entered an excited state, and the energy release didn't match any standard explosion model. Sensors detected large amounts of highly directional radiation of unknown type (temporarily labeled "G Radiation"). It burst from the Source Well and from Grimes' location.
(1) G Radiation effects: When it hits matter, it forces a collapse-style reorganization in the electron cloud structure, causing non-linear changes in basic physical and chemical properties. Steel shows superconducting behavior but also becomes brittle like ceramic. Concrete partially liquefies into silicate slurry, then turns into glass instantly. Organic material shows unpredictable breakdown.
(2) Chain reaction: Structural failures, power grid overloads, secondary leaks... The station's protection systems collapsed under energy-to-matter conversion impacts at 437% above design limits. Within 0.8 seconds, the disaster spread through the entire underground network and into part of the surface.
Test subject Grimes' vital monitoring went offline. Status unknown.
4. Appendix
"...Day 13 after the incident. Project lead Daniel speaking... It's been nearly two weeks since the test failed, and I'm still trapped down here. Emergency rations are gone. My upper arm was splashed with HIEROS-I fluid. I probably won't live to see rescue. Athena was blown to pieces. Based on the fragments of data left behind, the experiment should have failed... or maybe it didn't. The floor is shaking under me. It's possible—very possible—that G Radiation didn't kill Grimes."
"...Day 15 after the incident. Project lead Daniel... Thank goodness. I can see it now. Wait... No! NO—"
