SUBJECT 79 — HART, S.
// file integrity: 73% — data loss detected in sectors 7-9
Day 1
Subject: Sarah Hart, 19F Portland State University
5'4" 128 lbs dragon tattoo right wrist green boots recovered

Abduction Method: "Panic attack" ruse near PSU parking garage — subject demonstrated expected altruistic vulnerability.

Initial resistance moderate but predictable. Subject attempted negotiation rather than outright defiance — consistent with communications background. "Let me call my supervisor," she pleaded. "They'll know I'm missing."

Physical restraints applied without incident. Subject displayed remarkable composure during initial restraint process — noted shallow breathing pattern suggesting practiced calming technique.

First observation: Subject hummed during catheterization. Not crying. Not screaming. Humming. Pitch perfect despite obvious distress.

End of Day Assessment
Subject shows unusual emotional regulation capacity. Potential for extended observation. Filed: "possible long-term subject."
Day 4
Temp 99.4°F Pulse 124 bpm BP 142/92
Injuries: Vocal cord damage confirmed

Critical development: Subject screamed continuously for 17 minutes during electrical stimulation protocol. Not random screaming — controlled pitch variations that matched current fluctuations. At 17:03, vocal cords tore. Blood-tinged saliva observed.

Expected breakdown. Instead, subject began rhythmic tapping with restrained hand — complex counterpoint to the electrical pulses.

"Your body is mine to document," I said.

Subject met my gaze, tapped three quick pulses, two slow, three quick. Later decoded as S-A-R

End of Day Assessment
Subject demonstrates extraordinary psychological resilience. Filed: "Exceptional Case." // maintains communication channels even when primary vocal apparatus fails
Day 7
Temp 101.5°F Pulse 152 bpm BP 158/106
Injuries: Severe vocal damage, significant pressure sores, dehydration critical

Subject's condition deteriorating but mental faculties remain sharp.

Most revealing moment: Subject signed REMEMBER ME while simultaneously tapping in Morse code with her restrained hand. Three channels of communication: visual, tactile, and the blood dripping from her torn vocal cords creating its own rhythm on the table.

Noted: Subject's right hand shows deliberate wear patterns — filing against metal restraint to maintain sharp edge for carving. This wasn't random — it was planned. She anticipated future subjects would need this.

Day 9
Temp 102.8°F Pulse 176 bpm BP 168/118

Subject reached critical threshold today. Physical collapse imminent but mental faculties remained sharp until the end.

When I asked "Why?" she signed TWO HANDLES and smiled.

Subject expired at 14:37.

Final Assessment
Released per protocol. Subject 79 completed.
Post-Release Notes — Personal

Sarah was different. She didn't break — she transformed. Most subjects become data points. Sarah became a language.

Her carving along the table edge — S-A-R-A-H — was discovered post-release. She was building bridges for those who would come after her. Not just surviving — teaching.

That name in the table... makes it feel like she's still here.
