[Milo Reed sits in their containment suite. Researcher Ylan and Agent Thatcher observe through a one-way mirror]

Ylan: [Through intercom] Mr. Reed?

[Reed turns towards the speaker. Their eyes are closed, and they are sweating profusely]

Reed: That you?

Ylan: Yes, it's me. How are the memories?

Reed: There's… there's not much left. The hiking trip last month, New Year's, tennis finals. I…

Ylan: …And you're sure there's nothing else you can pick out? Nothing-

Reed: How long ago was tennis?

Ylan: You're sure you can't remember anything else? No boredom, no… mediocrity?

Reed: Tennis?

Ylan: …two days, Mr. Reed. Tennis was two days ago.

Reed: …I'm scared, man. I'm so fucking scared.

Ylan: Please remain calm, Mr. Reed. Milo.

Reed: It- [Reed begins shaking] Oh god.

Ylan: Thatcher, ready to intervene?

Thatcher: Aye, sir.

Ylan: Milo, please stay still. We're going to try to help you as best we can. What are you remembering?

Reed: The speaker…

Ylan: What about the speaker, Milo?

[Reed begins convulsing. Mild visual distortion is observed through the suite's internal cameras]

Reed: It…

Thatcher: Entering the antechamber now.

Ylan: Milo, stay with me here. What's wrong with the speaker.

Reed: [Unintelligible]

[Thatcher enters the primary suite and begins climbing the stairs towards Reed. Visual distortion increases, primarily in the space between the two]

Reed: [Unintelligible]

Ylan: [Through private radio] Stay back, Thatcher. [Through intercom] Are you with me, Milo?

Reed: The last… the last thing… [Reed begins breathing heavily and repeatedly clenching their fists. They do not open their eyes]

Thatcher: Moving in for prelim now.

Ylan: Understood. Milo, my associate's going to touch you now. We need you to be cooperative.

Reed: [Unintelligible]

Reed: [Louder] [Unintelligible]

Reed: [Screaming] [Unintelligible]

Thatcher: Administering meds. Stand by for-

[Reed opens their eyes. No eyes are present. Reed lunges at Thatcher, who is no longer present. Visual distortion increases, and condenses into a dark, quadrupedal humanoid standing over Reed, who is also no longer present. Temporal distortion increases]

Reed: [Screaming] Nothing! Lost, all lost! Nothing-

Thatcher: Ah, fuck-

[Reed lunges away from Thatcher. Reed is present. The humanoid entity reaches towards Thatcher, who begins to shudder]

Reed: I…

Ylan: Lockdown initiated. I- I'm sorry.

Thatcher: It's… [Unintelligible]

[Reed collapses. Thatcher is present, and attempts to stand, leaning against the wall. All visual feeds return to normal]

Ylan: …Jesus.
