The final experiment

lilith's lore

episode 1: the failed escape

cw: mentions of severed body parts

horrified screams of people mixed with blaring alarms echoed across the hallways. red light flashed vividly, illuminating the exit doors. a robotic voice repeated over and over from the loudspeaker, delivering the people a grim reminder.

"warning. unauthorised access from an unknown party. system down. please leave the facility immediately."

in the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity, they said. the [ ] research facility runs deep underground, with many, many twists and turns, and doors that will only open if you have access cards. the security is another problem, as it functions on occasional face scans, finger scans, identification cards, authorisation access from individuals of higher ranks, etc etc. with a system like that, there is barely a possible way to escape unscathed.

if, you don't count the chute tunnel system.

built specifically to dispose of chemical substances from the top floor down, the chute tunnel system is highly lethal to anyone dumb enough to take in even the slightest whiff. no one knows what would happen to those who actually did, despite their better judgements. and frankly, no scientists, or even the workers, of the facility were curious enough to have that need to know. without proper equipments supplied to certified cleaning workers, no living individual can survive years worth of chemical gas exuding from below.

that brings us to where we are now, following a lone figure who was struggling to climb up the chute. with a bright yellow biohazard suit, the sound of laboured breaths and the muffled screams of people evacuating above, she continued to climb up the ladder installed inside the chute.

who is this person, you asked? well, we call her subject x-50337, which is what she would've remembered anyways. only the scientists who worked with her knows her name, saved on their archives and all. she has the brightest shade of wavy green hair, and the most vibrant pair of purple eyes— well, that doesn't really matter now, does it?

heavy breaths entered her ears as she ascended the ladder. "almost... there..." she panted, reaching a closed tunnel that was connected to an air vent. she looked through the gap. no scientists, no workers, no one was in sight. good, she let out a shaky breath in relief. she did not want to be captured again.

with a firm grip to the vent, she pushed it forward, wincing as it scraped the floor, giving her a way out of the tunnel. she quickly crawled out, stripping off of the suit as if it burned her skin, revealing a heavily scarred body hidden under a simple white outfit. "finally," she panted, "i'm out of that forsaken glass prison..." but when she looked around, she felt her heart dropped.

a white hallway leading straight to an elevator. it wouldn't have had much to say about, had it not for the rows of glass containers on both sides of the hallway, like the one she was kept in. each container had their own name tag, their own title, their own prisoner, breathing and slowly rotting in their unbreakable containment. eyes widened, she hesitantly made her way through the hall with unblinking eyes looking back at her, as if they were piercing straight into her soul.

her heart nearly jumped out of her chest when a pair of hands slammed on the glass wall. the sound echoed across the silent hallway, like a drum pounding endlessly on her judgement day. she turned her head to the sound, purple then clashed with blue eyes widened in fear, and the tiniest bit of hope. the prisoner, or subject o-40075 as they were labelled on the tag, kept on pounding on the glass wall and screamed at her. except, no sound were heard from their mouth.

at first, subject x-50337 was confused. maybe the containers on this floor were sound proof? then came the morbid realisation when she finally noticed it.

where was their tongue?

subject o-40075 was in hysteria. they banged their fists onto the wall, begging soundlessly for her to get them out of there. the other test subjects, the ones who still had the energy to, then began to collectively punch the walls, calling out for her to release them from their prisons. the ones who didn't, or rather couldn't, stared at her from their seats. despite their lack of movement and words due to... unfavourable past experiments, their eyes dilated as if it was a silent plea.

though one thing they did not know, was that subject x-50337 was terrified of loud noises. her breath became erratic and her eyes dilated. she needed to get out of here, fast. and with that, she bolted to the opened elevator. her eyes were closed as she ran, trying her best to shut out all the screaming from the others.

once her feet hit the metallic floor of the elevator, her hand slammed onto the buttons as the door shut closed, cutting off all the noises outside the box. knees weak, she collapsed on the floor. the weigh of her actions finally got to her. "oh god..." she mumbled, voice wavered as she sat there on the cold floor. was that the best resort she could've done? she didn't know, and she didn't think she could've saved them, even if she tried.

with heavy breaths, she lifted herself up, albeit with a bit of trouble standing straight. she stared at the control panel, her vision blurred slightly seeing how many floors this damned facility had. without another word, she pressed the button labelled 1, letting out a sigh as she felt the elevator moving upwards.

behind her was a mirror. she stared at her reflection for a decent while, before "holy shit, i look awful." wisps of white laid on top of her messy green hair, her once vibrant purple eyes turned dull, dark eye bags marred on her face like she hadn't sleep in ages, her skin paled significantly due to god knows how long she had been in this place. she ran a hand through her hair, mumbled. "i need to get out of here soon."

the elevator was now at floor number 5. "come on... go faster, god damnit." she whispered under her breath, beads of sweat rolling down her temple as her heart beat loudly in her ears.

floor 3, two more floor to go. "come on, come on...." she chanted, just wanting to get out of this place. however...

red light filled the room, the elevator jolted, and stopped moving. her head snapped up, panicking as she didn't know that went wrong. then, she heard a man's voice through the speaker. a very familiar voice.

"connection terminated. i'm sorry for interrupting you, lilith, if you still even remember that name. but i'm afraid you've been misinformed."

a chill ran down her spine. "what...?"

"you cannot get out of this facility, lilith. no one can. though you will find lower floors of this facility more useful than what's happening outside. i wish you a safe endeavour. end communication."

that was the last thing lilith heard before the wheel snapped, taking the elevator and her down to the deepest floor of the facility.

floor 0.

totally did not cackle when i wrote this thing btw :D but i was listening to fnaf songs so :)

Day 3 - Isolation

It's lonely to fall apart. Whumptober 2023! I’m using the @ailesswhumptober's prompt list. This story is about my OC Shu - here’s his profile if you’re so inclined: https://toyhou.se/23743470.shumei-tw

CW/TW: Medical abuse!!

Shu didn’t know how much longer he could take this. He’d been sick for two weeks now with a fever that would not go down no matter what medications he took. Distracting himself with any kind of media simply wasn’t possible, because everything made him nauseous. Reading, watching TV, even the screen on his cell phone - anything that required focus made his eyes feel like they were trembling and caused him to get dizzy. So he was stuck just lying in bed with nothing to distract him from the abject state of misery he was in.

Julian had mostly been doing consultations from home in order to keep an eye on him. Shu didn’t want his condition to affect his boyfriend’s job, but it was also true that he was scared to be alone. He felt so sick that he could barely make it to the bathroom on his own. Julian often had to help him take the short walk there and back, supporting Shu easily with strong arms around Shu’s torso.

He hated that it was like this. He’d never been so sick in his life. If it had just been these two weeks of illness, then he could’ve put it down to any number of short-lived infections. But it’d been a year. One whole year of falling ill every single month with barely any healthy breaks in between. Julian had examined him a hundred times and run every test imaginable, but said there was technically nothing wrong with him. Sometimes, he said, people just developed a weak immune system over time. The flu he’d had last year could have triggered it and there was nothing they could do.

Shu trusted his boyfriend, given that he was a world-renowned doctor. He certainly was getting the best care imaginable, given Julian could treat him at home when the average person would probably be confined to the hospital, or at the least be occupied with constant visits to a doctor’s office. Prescriptions, blood draws, even IV fluids - Julian could do it all from the comfort of their own bedroom. But Shu couldn’t help but feel like something else had to be wrong. He’d always been healthy, catching only one or two minor illnesses a year. In all honesty, he was scared that he was dying from some unknown disease.

Julian told him it was stress that made him feel so much anxiety. He had been trying to convince Shu to quit his job for months, insisting that he could take care of both Shu and his mother even if Shu didn't work anymore. It could even be the baseline level of stress causing Shu’s weakened immune system in general, Julian suggested; they never knew, maybe if he quit he'd miraculously stop getting sick so frequently. But Shu didn't want to quit his job. He was proud of his career and he valued himself as being a hard worker. It felt wrong to burden someone else financially, even if it was his boyfriend who made at least twice the amount he did. He hadn't worked so hard all these years just let someone else work for him.

It was getting to a point where Shu didn't have much of a choice, though. The absurd amount of leave he’d amassed after ten years with the same company (taking almost no time off over this decade) was now dwindling at an alarming pace. At first his boss had doubted Shu was really ill this frequently. He didn't doubt it for long - every time Shu came into work he looked more haggard than the last time. Everybody knew he was a mess, dragging himself through each work day looking like he might collapse at any time. They’d taken a few of his usual responsibilities away from him, which Shu saw as a warning sign that he wasn’t competent enough. He tried so hard to make up for his shortcomings, but it just wasn’t possible.

His friends were worried. Mathias and Miki texted him frequently asking after his health, but Shu had stopped answering them most of the time now. It was tiresome when they often said, “Are you feeling any better?” Because the answer was always no. He didn't feel any better. He felt worse, almost always worse and he was scared he was never going to feel good again.

He’d lost over twenty pounds just this year alone, and he was not a very hefty person to begin with. His hair was thinner and had lost the deep, black shine it'd always had. Dull was a good word for him - he looked faded, like he'd disappear if he lost any more weight or color.

“Aiya, Shumei, my son, what is happening to you?” His mom scolded often, her tone brisk as usual but lacking its normal edge. Shu knew she was worried. Before he started getting sick, he used to visit her every Friday afternoon after work, if not more frequently. He’d bring her to plays and events on the weekends and take her out to dinners they hadn’t been able to afford when he was growing up. Now he barely ever saw her - in part because he was often too ill to leave the house, but mostly because he hated the look of concern on her face each time he appeared worse off than the last time he'd seen her.

He felt so alone, so ashamed and useless... Julian was the only reason he didn't completely fall apart. His boyfriend, the only person who really knew the true extent of it all. He clung to Julian like a lifeline. Julian was always there to take care of him and never seemed to tire of all of this, even if Shu was at his wits end. He made sure Shu stayed hydrated and as comfortable as possible despite his constant body and headaches. He would mop Shu’s hot brow, shushing him gently as Shu whimpered in pain. He would carry Shu to the chair next to their bed and change the sheets when Shu sweat through them, which was often. Julian even bathed him, washing off the thick layer of sickness that clung to Shu’s skin. Shu didn't think he deserved it, but Julian never complained.

Shu didn't realize he was crying until Julian came in and rested a cool hand on Shu’s damp face. “What's the matter, darling? Please don't cry.”

Shu sniffled, tears running down his hot cheeks. “You're too good to me,” he whimpered. “I don't want to be sick anymore. How can you stand being around me?”

“Shh, don't talk like that,” Julian said. He sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to kiss Shu on the forehead. “I love you. I’ll always take care of you.”

“Aren’t you tired of this? I am,” Shu said, voice wavering. “I’m different now... I’m...”

“No,” Julian said, not a hint of hesitation in his voice. “I’ll never get tired of taking care of you. You're exactly who I fell in love with, and the most important person to me. I’ll do anything to help you.”

Shu still didn't think he deserved it, but he leaned in to Julian’s touch anyways. “Thank you,” he whispered. “You're the best boyfriend in the entire world.”

“It’s easy because it's you,” Julian said. “And I've loved you my whole life. That'll never change.”Shu closed his eyes, too tired to keep talking. Julian really must love him more than Shu could understand to be so endlessly patient, even though he was so sick all the time. He didn't want to be sick anymore, but if he had to be... He was the luckiest man in the world to have Julian, he thought to himself.

Fred had been trying to contact Tubbo for days. After a sudden reassignment to another section of the building for a while, something he knew was mostly a way to keep him busy.

It worked. He was busy, but he still typed messages to Tubbo.

They reassigned me to another section, I'll try to find time to see you.

Read.

Are you doing well? Are the kids doing well?

Read.

I heard the other prisoners woke up, you won't be lonely anymore right?

Read. Read. Read. Read.

Every single message was read. Yet there was never a response. Fred chalks it up to her being busy, it doesn't stop the anxiety that it shouldn't have. Its fans whirs louder, trying to cool its system. Its featureless face scrunch with worry, pacing his new office.

It couldn't take it for much longer, it's been too silent. Tubbo wouldn't just not message it back. Right?

WA02 stops another worker to ask about the prisoners, the worker paused. And WA02 can tell it was as confused as it felt.

"The prisoners? They were released yesterday afternoon, sir."

There's an audible crash inside of it somewhere, something breaks. Something stopped working and it was obvious with the way the worker managed to look alarm without any features. The false lungs in its chest stutters to a stop.

"...yesterday?" Its voice was flatter, losing the lighter inflection it completely vanishing, dropping to flat horror. WA02's communicator was suddenly much heavier with a weight of something dreadful. "So," It's voice trips over itself, trying to find its footing. "Tubbo is.."

"Released onto the island." The worker nods, its ears lowering slightly, it reaches out, paw pressing against WA02's arm in an attempt of comfort.

It takes everything in it to not jerk away.

The gears within it were screeching to a halt. "Okay." There a crack in its voice. The worker winces. "And... the children-"

"Are.. in custody..."

WA02's system freezes, warning signs of errors flooding it's visor, its fingers flexing and curling. The faceplates under its fur shifts slowly, uncertain to its next move.

It could feel its systems slowly power down, one by one. Pop ups force closing.

There's a sharp ping on its communicator.

The New Bureau.

> Come to my office. Now.

It was tempted to ignore the message. There was something bitter, ugly, sinister that says it should.

WA02's back up system slowly powers on. It puts its communicator away. It gives the worried worker a nod and leaves the office.

Empowering Lone Workers: The Role of Lone Worker Training

In various industries, lone workers face unique challenges and risks as they perform their duties in isolation. These workers, such as security guards, field researchers, and maintenance personnel, often find themselves in situations where they are the only person on-site, which can expose them to potential hazards. To ensure their safety and well-being, comprehensive lone worker training is crucial. In this article, we'll delve into the importance of lone worker training and its role in promoting safety and preparedness.

Understanding Lone Workers

Lone workers are individuals who perform their job duties without direct supervision or immediate assistance from colleagues. Their tasks can range from conducting site inspections in remote locations to working late-night shifts as security guards. The absence of immediate support can leave them vulnerable to accidents, injuries, or emergency situations.

The Significance of Lone Worker Training

Risk Awareness: Lone worker training begins by raising awareness of the potential risks and hazards associated with the specific job. Workers learn to identify and assess these risks, enabling them to make informed decisions to protect themselves.

Emergency Response: Preparedness for emergencies is a cornerstone of lone worker training. Workers are trained in emergency response protocols, including first aid, CPR, and how to handle critical situations until help arrives.

Communication Skills: Effective communication is crucial for lone workers. They are taught how to maintain regular check-ins with a central monitoring system or designated contacts. This ensures that their status and safety are monitored, even when working alone.

Use of Technology: Lone worker training often involves instruction on the use of technology, such as personal alarms, mobile apps, or wearable devices. These tools can be essential for summoning help in emergencies.

Conflict Resolution: For roles that involve interactions with the public, lone worker training includes conflict resolution techniques. This helps workers de-escalate situations to avoid confrontations or harm.

Customized Training Programs

Lone worker training is not one-size-fits-all. It should be tailored to the specific job roles and hazards encountered by each worker. For example, the training needs of a forestry worker in a remote area differ from those of a security guard in a crowded urban space. Customized programs ensure that workers receive relevant and effective training.

Legal Requirements and Employer Responsibility

In many regions, employers are legally obligated to provide adequate training and support to protect the safety of lone workers. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences and reputational damage. Employers should take this responsibility seriously and invest in comprehensive training programs to safeguard their employees.

In conclusion, lone worker training is a vital component of ensuring the safety and well-being of those who work in isolation. It equips them with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to identify and mitigate risks, respond to emergencies, and communicate effectively. By prioritizing comprehensive lone worker training, employers demonstrate their commitment to the safety and security of their workforce. https://nntc.org.uk/lone-worker-training/

That’s where the lone working app for employee safety steps in. This powerful tool offers not just peace of mind but also a lifeline in emergency situations. As more organizations adopt this technology, finding the most reliable lone working app has become a top priority.

The importance of lone worker protection cannot be overstated. Isolated employees are more vulnerable to accidents, medical emergencies, and even security threats. Without a team nearby, the response time to critical situations can be dangerously delayed. A robust digital solution addresses these issues by ensuring that help is always within reach. An advanced lone working app provides real-time location tracking, automated check-ins, and instant alerts to a central monitoring system or chosen emergency contacts. These features enable quick intervention and support when it matters most.

Companies that prioritize lone worker safety are not only safeguarding their employees but also demonstrating responsibility and compliance. Many industries are subject to health and safety regulations that mandate specific protective measures for isolated workers. Failure to implement these can result in serious legal and financial consequences. A dependable lone working app helps organizations remain compliant by logging activities, maintaining communication, and documenting safety protocols, all in one streamlined platform.

Moreover, a lone working app enhances employee confidence. Knowing that their employer has invested in their safety empowers workers to perform their roles without the constant worry of what might go wrong. This improved sense of security leads to increased productivity, higher job satisfaction, and better retention rates. Employees feel valued and protected, which is essential in maintaining a positive workplace culture.

The application of such technology goes beyond typical office environments. Remote workers, delivery drivers, engineers, and maintenance personnel can all benefit from having this virtual safety net. These apps can be customized to fit the specific needs of each role, offering tailored safety solutions based on location, job type, and risk level. Features such as duress alarms, motion detection, and voice-activated alerts make these tools both user-friendly and highly effective.

Selecting the right solution involves assessing key features and service reliability. A good lone working app must be intuitive, compatible across various devices, and functional even in areas with limited connectivity. It should also integrate seamlessly with an organization’s existing systems for reporting and compliance. PanicGuard, a leader in digital safety technologies, provides such comprehensive features designed to meet these expectations. Their commitment to employee protection and technological innovation is reflected in every aspect of their service.

Implementing a lone working app also communicates a powerful message to stakeholders and clients. It shows that a company is committed to ethical practices and employee welfare. In an age where workplace safety is under constant scrutiny, this proactive step can enhance a company’s image and build trust both internally and externally.

Fire Alarm System Maintenance in Singapore: Stay Safe, Stay Compliant

In a world where nothing is certain, security is not something we can afford to take lightly. In regards to safeguarding lives and assets, fire alarm system maintenance in Singapore counts. It is not an engineering task; it is an issue of ethics—particularly in a crowded, high-rise city like Singapore.

Each beep of the fire alarm is a call of safety. However, what if that beep never occurs when there is an actual emergency? That is where frequent and trusty Singapore fire alarm system maintenance enters as the quiet guardian in the background.

Why Fire Alarm Maintenance Is So Important The reality is, fire alarms do save lives. But only if they are functioning correctly. Disregard of the fire alarm system in Singapore can lead to dire consequences—false alarm, delayed alarm, or even total system failure.

In Singapore's densely populated residential areas, offices, apartment buildings, and business premises rely on such systems for advance warning. But just like any equipment, fire alarms deteriorate with age. Batteries go dead, dust accumulates, and cables fray. Without regular fire alarm system maintenance in Singapore, these imperceptible faults can turn into fatal failures.

Emotional Cost of Neglect It's simple enough to equate fire safety as one to check off a list. But behind every silent alarm lies the possibility of a human disaster. Consider families, elderly people, school kids, or factory workers—each depending on fire systems that never malfunction.

When we spend money on Singapore fire alarm system maintenance, we're not merely checking a box—we're safeguarding individuals we care about. And that has real emotional value to this obligation. It's about being able to sleep peacefully knowing you've done everything you can to save lives.

What Is Involved in Singapore Fire Alarm System Maintenance? It is not very hard to maintain a fire alarm system, but it does have to be done professionally and regularly. The following are what good Singapore fire alarm system maintenance typically entails:

Visual Inspections: Physical wear or damage. Functional Testing: Testing all alarms, sensors, and circuits to ensure that they function correctly. Battery Checks: Replacing weak or dead batteries. Cleaning Sensors: Dust and dirt diminish sensitivity. Software Updates: Maintaining any smart system in a state of upgrade. Compliance Checks: Making sure your system is SCDF compliant. Professional companies like Drakofire provide service that can ensure that each component functions as expected, thereby minimizing the chance of untimely failure.

How Often Do It? In Singapore, acceptable frequencies by type of building are:

Residential Houses: 6 to 12 months Commercial Buildings: Quarterly High-Risk Sites (Factories, Warehouses): Monthly or as may be necessitated by law Regular fire alarm system maintenance in Singapore does not just avoid malfunctions but also identifies latent faults before they spiral out of control.

Legal Requirements Singapore's Fire Safety Act requires fire protection systems, including fire alarms, to be serviced. Non-compliance could result in:

Heavy fines Legal proceedings Business downtime Insurance issues In brief, Singapore fire alarm system maintenance is not only a legal and ethical requirement—it's required. Having experienced experts such as Drakofire on your side ensures you'll always remain in line with Singapore's rigorous fire safety regulations.

Human-Centered Safety: Beyond the Wires We are concerned with the technology—wires, sensors, control panels—but not to be forgotten is why we do this. Behind every system is a story: a sleeping child peacefully, a lonely older parent at home, a late-working office worker in the office. They rely on systems that perform when they need them to most.

Regular fire alarm system maintenance in Singapore is an act of charity. It's being like, "I see you. I care for you. I am going to keep you safe."

Selecting the Right Partner Whereas some minor checks can be performed in-house, proper servicing needs always to be left to trained technicians. A good supplier will:

Pick up servicing orders promptly Deliver clear reports Employ certified equipment and instruments Ensure complete adherence to SCDF standards This is why so many go to reliable names such as Drakofire. With the right partner, there are fewer headaches and greater peace of mind.

Conclusion: Don't Wait for a Warning Action is not usually until after there has been a close call or fright. Don't make it your experience. Get on top of it. Invest in Singapore fire alarm system maintenance before a problem occurs.

It's an easy step with an enormous payoff—prevention of damage, saving lives, and enabling you to have the peace of mind you're entitled to.

Being prepared in as young and dynamic a country as Singapore is being responsible. So take responsibility seriously. Place fire alarm system maintenance in Singapore on your safety routine.
