Deviation O-044 is a doll that stands 70 centimeters tall and weighs 12 kilograms. It wears a yellow hooded robe made of burlap, and its face is concealed by a deep crimson mask embroidered with three eye-like patterns. Purple, tentacle-like appendages are visible protruding from the bottom of its robe. O-044 is capable of autonomous movement, exhibits extremely high intelligence, and is fluent in all known languages. It is adept at conversation, consistently displaying a friendly and easygoing demeanor. Its interactions are often performative or theatrical in nature. (Note by Professor , Supervisor of Site : Do not trust O-044; it is devoid of any semblance of empathy and represents something wholly different from any Deviation we have ever encountered before.) The primary Deviation Traits manifested by O-044 are narrative contamination and reality manipulation at very advanced levels. It can freely alter any information recorded about itself, including, but not limited to, documents, audio-visual materials, and declarative memories. It is also capable of modifying reality—past and present—to align with these altered records. All human subjects (designated O-044-A) exposed to O-044 will develop a strong intention and passion for creative activity, even if they have not previously received any literary or artistic education. Works produced by O-044-A always feature nihilistic themes and a gloomy, surrealistic style, yet maintain an indescribable allure. Prolonged exposure to O-044 will result in pronounced tendencies. Interview Record O-044-I-001 Date: \\ Location: Securement Unit Interviewers: Director and Professor Director : Good morning, O-044. It's a pleasure to meet you. O-044: Good morning, sir. No need for such formality. Call me ... Oh, excuse me... (Securement Unit is sanitized. Professor enters the Securement Unit.) O-044: sigh Alright then. Call me O-044. Professor : Let's continue. We have some questions for you. You may choose not to answer if you feel uncomfortable. Is that alright? O-044: Of course. Professor : Can you tell us where you're from? O-044: Maybe this will work. I come from the world of Identity ! Professor : Identity ? O-044: Yes. By your understanding, it's a... video game, I suppose? Professor : A video game? So you're saying you're a character from a video game? O-044: shrugs Exactly. Isn't this world a video game too? Professor : long pause Then, am I a video game character as well? O-044: Of course, dear lady. You exist only in this file's text. You don't even have a real name—just these black blocks as placeholders. When this file is closed by the "player," you'll no longer interact with the real world. Professor : You... Sorry, I'm finding this quite hard to believe. O-0nds in a celebratory posture* But isn't it splendid news? Your world will soon face numerous crises capable of destroying it multiple times over. It will be a magnificent spectacle. And you, as the director of this site, will have the safest and best seat in the house, right here in our conversation, right inside this story! Professor : I'll try to understand. What is your purpose for coming to our world? O-044: To wait for a character called the Meta-Human, and have them secure me as a Deviation. After all, they are the protagonist of this world. Like I said, a spectacular show is going to unfold in this world, and I'm going to have a front-row seat. Professor : Secured? What about us, then? What will happen to Rosetta? O-044: remains silent O-044: Don't overthink it, and don't dwell on what I've said before, madam. We won't be seeing each other for quite some time. After Professor signed a confidentiality agreement, she was appointed director of Site . Securement Procedures: DO: Secure O-044 in a Grade VII or higher securement unit for autonomous entities installed with Grade IX psychohazard equipment. Wear a psychohazard barrier before interacting with O-044. It is wise to protect yourself when facing the unknown. Provide O-044 with any literature or art that it requests every four weeks. If the requested item does not exist, it should be created by the designated team as per the Mask protocol. DO NOT: Perform any stress or obedience tests on O-004. Why not give it a try? Implement additional safety measures. They are unnecessary.
