Description:
Subject is a 21-year old Korean male of standard build. Subject’s class is Marksman, with the Holy Shooter and War Medic attributes. Detailed records of vital readings and skillset can be found under <File #049a>.
Information gathered from the database identifies #049 as an experienced PLAYER under the username <Tempest>. The subject is registered under a Grass Roots Guild in Yopi Land under <Master Swordsman> and formerly under Zara's Guild [see: Notable Guilds]. Of note, subject was present in multiple notable events centred around <Target of Note #001 : Hardcore Levelling Warrior> including but not limited to the 2019 Tournament and War against Nightmare.

*Addendum 1: Rapid pulse signals were recorded every 3 hours through mana causeway. Frequency was maintained for 2 weeks after capture, before decreasing to once every 6 hours. Source of signals is obscured, assumed to originate from the New Zara’s Guild base, PLAYER username <Choco Bibi>.
*Addendum 2: Maria, look into coordinating the experiments of #049 and #050. There may be agreements to be made here. Entry by Dr. Lenore.
Subject #049/Interview Log #1
L: Hello, Tempest. Do you prefer Tempest, or Jin-Hyuk?
049: (Silence.)
L: Well, no matter. Let's start with something simple. It says here on my files that you were an active player in Lucid Adventure, which was a popular game over here in Korea. Many others described the sensation of the World Merger as "a sudden flood" of information into their heads; some found it entirely overwhelming while others didn't. (pause) I'll be honest with you, the responses I got were from players of significantly lower experience compared to you, so I do quite value your thoughts. If you could share with me, what was your experience?
049: (Silence.)
L: Hm, you and your friend are quite similar it seems. She, too, had little to say.
049: (Silence.)
L: I made her talk eventually. We had a rather pleasant conversation.
(chains rapidly clatter)
049: ...What did you do to her.
L: Why, a conversation goes both ways, 049! Information for information. I'll tell you what you want to know, within reason, of course, if you cooperate.
049: (Silence.)
L: My time is precious, dear.
049: Fine. Fine.

Subject #050
Description:
Subject is a 22-year old Korean/Malaysian female of muscular build. Subject’s class is Swordslinger, with a hidden attribute yet to be identified. Subject carries an Ego Sword : Great Sword, which is stored in the facility under Room 216. Detailed records of vital readings and skillset can be found under <File #050a>.
Information gathered from the database identifies #050 as an experienced PLAYER under the username <Coco Mori>. The subject is registered under a Grass Roots Guild in Yopi Land under <Master Swordsman> and formerly under Zara's Guild [see: Notable Guilds]. Of note, subject was present in multiple notable events centred around <Target of Note #001 : Hardcore Levelling Warrior> including but not limited to the 2019 Tournament and War against Nightmare.
Spatial mana causeway was severed from the subject when the subject was collected. Source was traced to Building 72b on Hoseok st., registered under Lee Jihun, identified under PLAYER username <Master Swordsman>. Link is dormant. Changes should be closely monitored [see Addendum 1].
Initial thoughts:
Schedule for experiments can be found under attachment <File #050-1>. Due to the subject’s volatility, the administration has authorised a restricted diet to be administered for the time being until greater control over the subject’s mind can be established. Identification of subject’s hidden attribute is underway and of priority while physical test are suspended. Entry by Dr. Maria.
Subject #050/Incident Log 310946:
Subject behaved passively until escorted out of the containment cell, where she attacked the doctors and guards in the hallway. No fatalities were recorded, though likely due to time constraints and not lack of ability. Subject escaped to Wing 2 before being subdued by tranquilizer.
A shock device has been embedded on the subject's spinal column. A new set of precautions must be conveyed to all persons handling #050. Dosage of gaseous anesthetic agent to be administered before removing subject from containment cell shall be advised by Dr. Seolhwa.
Note: I would like the subject's vitals, stats and nutritional information to be comprehensively recorded through the course of the diet changes and experiments. Please do share biological responses to drugs administered by the Narcotics team with the Intelligence team. Entry by Dr. Maria.
