DAY LOG:
Subject XV was placed into the sterile white room next to VoidB's fortified glass room while he was still under the calming serum and truth-telling serum. The effects subsided after thirty minutes but Subject XV did not react much. He looked confused and simply moved to the bed and sat there. He did not move for four hours.
When food was sent in through the chute, Subject XV slowly moved towards it and ate it. Then he tried to look through the holes in the wall connected to VoidB, but, of course, saw nothing. He asked questions about where he was and what he was doing in the room. No response was given.
After ten minutes of this, Subject XV stopped and sat back on his bed. Nothing of importance happened for the rest of the day.
NIGHT LOG:
Subject XV slept restlessly and woke up many times. Nothing of note.

FILE 023: LOG 20
DAY LOG:
Subject XV continues to request paint and other communities to decorate his living space. He still views the place as a prison but would still rather the area is nicer. I and the other scientists on duty keep telling him we cannot fulfill that request because the space will not be sterile.
Subject XV ate all meals given to him and seemed to listen to the audio given to him through the speakers.
NIGHT LOG:
At 0215 Subject XV awoke screaming and hyperventilating. He tried looking through the holes in the wall for the first time since the first day. Like before, he saw nothing but this time, he banged on the walls and screamed. Gas anesthesia was administered and Subject XV fell asleep. Tests were done and no sign of damage anywhere was seen.
When he woke up, Subject XV showed confusion and fear. He could not explain what happened when prompted. Nothing happened the rest of the night.

FILE 030: LOG 27
DAY LOG:
Subject XV woke up from his faint-induced sleep (that started at 0500) at 0810 this morning and asked what was going on. When given no response, he slowly moved to the food sent to him this morning.
By now, Subject XV's features are medium brown eyes and hair. His skin is now sooty and somehow looks a little tanned.
Once I got into the observation office after the scientist on watch duty notified me, I conducted an interview (see File 031). Conclusion is that Subject XV will go through more tests once put back into this altered state to see if something has changed neurologically. He will be watched closer and taking out the wall will be considered. The test can confirm whether VoidB is affecting Subject XV or another variable.
NIGHT LOG:
Subject XV woke up again and did the same as the past few days. When I and the other scientists came down to collect the subject for a few tests in this altered state, he lost consciousness after walking a few steps away from the room. Even still, the experiments were conducted (see File 032 for results). I will talk with the engineers about building retractable panels over VoidB's glass room and getting one of the transportable EEG monitors.

[TRANSCRIPT BEGINS]
WARD: What is the last thing you remember, Subject XV?
SUBJECT XV: I was...uh...going to bed. Then I woke up against the wall.
WARD: So you know nothing of what happened last night?
SUBJECT XV: No, I was asleep. Must've sleepwalked or something...
WARD: Do you or your family have a history of sleepwalking?
SUBJECT XV: No, not at all.
WARD: Well, Subject XV, you were not sleepwalking. And you are sure you have no memory of last night?
SUBJECT XV: Very! I was asleep!
WARD: It doesn't appear that you were. Thank you for answering my questions, Subject XV.

FILE 032: TEST RESULTS
EEG results show activity similar to the N3 stage of sleep. This is normally impossible as the activity was the same throughout the test and had only been asleep for five minutes when the EEG was put on. The only hypothesis is that Subject XV is not fully awake when in his altered state. This still cannot be considered sleepwalking as the subject responds to spoken word and says things himself.
A memory test could not be done as the subject was unconscious.
There is no proper conclusion but simply two hypotheses. 1: Subject XV is not fully awake during the nights, even though he can do the same actions of an awake person. 2: Subject XV's altered state is induced by VoidB's presence. It was brought up that even through VoidB's room had heavily fortified glass, light particles still shine through. As it is known, Void B consumes anything and everything it can. VoidB has not expanded, but it could be interacting with the light particles while the lights are on and Subject XV when they are not. This being said, nothing in the subject's room has started to deteriorate.
