At the beginning here, now that we're in kind of episode two, I felt it important to try to dip our toes into all of them at the top, right?

This almost has like a little bit of SCP energy mixed with the cosmic horror.

That's something else we want to get to.

But like, I don't want to pigeonhole us into any one subgenre where it's just like, oh, okay, it's always like a paranormal sort of encounter or some sort of like strangers, like the movie type energy where...

You know, like, I want to kind of keep it unpredictable, and stories like this are very unpredictable.

There is an Image Online task force.

Viewer discretion is advised.

But it complements this story because it is supposedly that final test subject and what they looked like in its final state.

So you can imagine in your mind's eye that it would be pretty gruesome.

But Fredo, if you want to, I've put it here in our little chat thread.

Yes.

Yeah.

Like mummy skin.

Big, sharp smile.

I mean, like, you see the teeth are long because the gums are gone.

Like, ugh.

And when you're, you know, what was I, 20 at the time, reading this story in the dead of night for the first time, looking at this image, it just like, it's such a visceral image that goes so well with such a terrifying ending.

Dude, I had to shut down after that.

I turned the lights on, gotta go change the chapter.

I gotta go brush my teeth and listen to some sort of like pop music or something to change the tone.
