Oasis Tier-0 Crisis—[Uhluhtc] Special Contingency Guidelines


① Virus data extracted from Croque can and should only be stored in the empty module in sequence III, supplied by Antonina.

② The module must be placed within a quarantined observation pod with special warning labels to prevent mix-ups with other dangerous substances.

③ If the module is exposed to an unquarantined environment, all agents within its vicinity must be quarantined immediately. The PIC of that area is then to undergo a neural cloud assessment and revise "Basic Knowledge v3.4" written by Antonina.

④ All experiment materials must be scanned down to the individual components to ensure that there is no data leak or infection.

⑤ Participants of this experiment must obtain permission from a staff member with Level-6 clearance or their team leader.

This is the first time I'm studying a virus that demands such strict quarantine measures. Even Ω-type quarantines were a rare sight.

I've been given 20 sets of empty modules containing the viral program; my job is to figure out their operation logic. This shouldn't be too difficult. I have set myself a time limit—3x24 hours, no more than that. I still have other projects to work on.

Subject: Empty Module #1:

Details: Introduced a lab rat whose codes are based on the neural system of a basic agent to observe the virus' interaction with the rat.

Interesting. After contracting the virus, the rat was completely transformed. Starting from its central components, converted data expand outward in spherical patterns and transformed the entire rat in just an hour.

The neural system's built-in firewall was completely ineffective against the virus. Actually, the operands forming the firewall ended up feeding it.

The transformed rat had an unusually strong craving for operands. It licked the operand storage container clean in two minutes. Then upon realizing it contained no more operands, the rat dismantled the container by force and devoured it.

457 (in slightly messy handwriting)

Subject: Empty Modules #18 and 19.

Details: Introduced a lab rat whose codes are based on the neural system of a researcher agent to observe the virus' interaction with the rat.

Compared to a basic agent, our defensive system is more sophisticated and specialized, but it's still incapable of impeding the virus, which still managed to break through the firewall around the neural system. The only difference was that it had taken a little more time.

Intriguing. Perhaps I should stop using sequence III empty modules as they lack expansibility—possibly because they were developed on short notice?

In any case, I must try something else in order to figure out its operation logic.


458-460 (omitted)


461 (significantly obscured)

Subject: Custom-built Empty Module #21

Details: Introduced a lab rat whose codes are based on the neural system of an assistant agent to observe the virus' interaction with the rat.

The effect was quite satisfactory—many new changes were observed. So, I was right—I should not be so hung up on what the coding is based on. Nothing is more obvious and conclusive than seeing changes in the same subject as the control.


464 (rushed handwriting)

Subject: New 23

Details: Newly-coded lab rab based on me.

It was the correct decision—the empty modules from before had too many limitations so the control yielded no valuable information. The effects were immediately obvious with a different module. I must arrange the data in a table.

Right, stick on the label and tell the assistant not to touch this observation pod.


465-469 (omitted)


470 (missing)


471 (very messy handwriting)

Subject: Group 60
Details: The observation pod is too much of a pain. I can only see the difference by putting the groups of specimens close to each other in the same framework.

This is absolutely fascinating. The same virus displays completely opposite characteristics in similar modules.

Hold on, is that the alarm? Which idiot tripped it?

Those assistants are being ridiculous. Report? This project has barely started to (scratched out)
