After Dr. Theodor Clementox's continued disdain for our efforts to investigate his new project many of us were left confused and yearning for answers . Our tireless efforts were finally triumphant when our dear Director issued a forced investigation of Dr. Clementox's private work. I was lucky enough to witness this inspection first hand and I am disappointed to reveal to you that our concers about his work were accurate.
Allow me to elaborate,
When Dr. Theodor was asked to showcase the working prototype of his new device , the "Xeerimeinium" , he was hesitant , still , we had no more patience and he had no choice. Theodor showed us a working prototype of the system and decided to demo it on one of the test subjects provided to him by our headquarters - Cristina Neuman , a 97 year old neurological patient suffering from •••••••••• . The process of starting the device disturbed us to say the least. Dr. Theodor happily inserted the device's connector to the woman cranium with no delay. The woman was in obvious pain from the start of the procedure to the end of it. Ignoring the womans groans Clementox continued with starting the program. He joyously showed us the screen which depicted a successful upload of the neural data. After a couple of minutes the upload was finished and the promised virtual environment was before our eyes. But it was nothing like Dr. Clementox described before. The quality of the image was poor to say the least- a simple , lifeless garden, in it - a ghastly woman , her hair flaying in the air. Theodor was quick to inform us that this is the Cristina's avatar, a virtual representation of her real world body. But our inspection was not finished with that. We asked Clementox to show us the promised movement in the virutal landscape , the assured freedom one would have when using his product. And so with the click of a button he allowed the avatar to move. But it was not real movement, even if you would consider it that , it did not look like the woman was 'free'. The virtual body began shaking it's arms and legs on the screen, moving left to right , it's head convulsing up and down , the hair sometimes disconnecting from it's body. When Theodor noticed that we were visibly distraught by what we were seeing he only laughed and told us that she was dancing. When asked if this was all that she could do he confirmed it to be so , but was confused as to why we didn't think that it was enough. After the strange presentation of movement we asked Dr. Theodor to show us the communication features of the device. He quickly typed something on his computer and the words "Can you hear me" appeared on the screen. Theodor assured us that the text was translated int sound for Crisitina and she was soon to reply. And she did. But her replies were a series of sounds and screeches , almost as if it were sampling pieces from unrelated pieces of music. Theodor was very happy with the outcome and assured us that the communication would become clearer with time . He was also very persistent in telling us that if the user was younger and healthier the device would work even better . After we all agreed that we had seen enough we asked Dr. Theodor to shut down the program and remove the woman from the apparatus. But we quickly saw that it was not that easy to do. Theodor told us that the device had no ability to save the neurological data or send it back to the user, so shutting down the program would delete all of Cristina's data. Furthermore , Theodor instructed us that removing the devices metal applications from the brain would destroy it's cerebral cortex , rendering the patient dead. Dr. Theodor Clementox was told to immediately stop the program , remove the test subject and remove all data and information he had about her. We instructed him to stay away from the "Xeerimeinium" device until further notice. Needless to say , Theodor was not happy about our decision.
Following our visit , we have concluded that continuing work on this project would put Exerium Neuroscience at jeopardy and added that the best course of action would be to publicly denounce the product and subsequently remove all ties and connections we have to Dr. Theodor's work.
This is not good. We have enough problems whitout Theodor. This project will never meet the meet the standart that Clementox advertised to us and working on it would be a waste of time, money and human life. I recommednd that everyone who was in contact with Dr. Theodor during his work delete all information about him and their connections .
We are currently in talks with the director about the destruction of the "Xeerimeinium" protoypes and blueprints.
Cordially , Dr. •••••• ••••••••• .
