Intergalactic Summit

As requested by Mister Nauplius.

Project Heart Ribbon

On ██/██/YC███ a shipment of two thousand (2000) test subjects were delivered at [REDACTED] Moon III station, in the Genesis region, curtsy of Mister Nauplius. They were emancipated, malnourished and unfit for any form of scientific testing, humane or otherwise.

After a recovery period, two hundred and fifty (250) subjects were drafted via interview to participate in this study. Split into two test groups, exactly half of the subjects were assigned to a control group. The remaining one thousand seven hundred and fifty (1750) test subjects were released to the general population with the assistance of the [REDACTED] humanitarian efforts. Eight hundred and forty three (843) were submited to the Protocol Charlie Sierra 9-Detramol sucessfully.

A small team from Poteque Pharmaceuticals was recruited to assist me in my research. Due to the urgency of this research project and the scarcity of Inferno, only four (4) assistants and myself were administred with the substance. Doctor ██████ █████ Md. did not survive the procedure. Her family was compensated by Poteque Pharmaceuticals as consequence.

After an incident on Lab █, the slaver in charge of managing the test subject population was terminated. Cause of death: crushed lanringe, head trauma, circulatory failure and absence of organs. To preserve the identity of the deceased he will be hereby known as Subject A1 during the rest of the article.

Executive's Note:

Pluripotent stem cells extracted from Subject A1's nasal septum were submitted to MSI forced meiosis and specialised into proto-gametean cells. They were used as the genetic medium for the ███████ hybridization procedure, using the methods first analysed on Project Snake Skin. Genetic Marker Fidelity (GMaF) was included as a variable in the CCR installed on the [REDACTED].

Subject M0082 - 0.526 GMaF

Mileninial degradation observed from the offset. Subject was administred magnesium suplements intravenal with limited sucess. Subsequent DfLR observerd at 0.491 with permanent personality loss. Subject reinserted in the population after purge.

Subject M0417 - 0.740 GMaF

No observable rejection. Consistent with findings on Project Circular Logic and Project Snake Skin. Subject will remain under evaluation.

Subject M0299 - 0.5189 GMaF

Same results as with Subject M0082. Subject was implanted with experimental PPh 320-S 'Gross' ppQ Synchronizer Beta cerebral augmentation. Subsequent DfLR observed at 0.673, with mileninial degradation minimized. The augmentation failed after twenty one hours and eighteen minutes, inducing [REDACTED] on the subject. Subject reinserted in the population after purge.

Subject M1319 - 0.132 GMaF

[DATA PURGED]. Subject reinserted in the population after purge.

Subject M0890c - 1.000 GMaF

Subject submited to Protocol Charlie Sierra 9-Detramol Beta. Cryogenic damage sustained. Substance presence down to 0.266 percentils. Tecnical purification achieved. Subject reinserted in the population.

[DATA PURGED]

Continued experiments will be carried out until the test subject group is exhausted of possible subjects.

Executive's Closing Thoughts:

Mister Nauplius request was plain simple: to remove the "Minmatarness" from a slave like I did to myself! Well, if it stops him from being mean, I'm pretty sure trying won't hurt! It worked for me so why not? If by "Minmatarness" he refers to it as the bloodline genetic markers, then sure, I can totally make someone have less "Minmattarness". Intaki rebirth apparatus were my inspiration at first, but the method evolved from there into a series of protocols to make this whole thing work. Right now though, I'm just throwing stuff at the wall and hope something sticks!

But genetics are not like building blocks at all I tell you! But thanks to my technique of all natural genetic hybridization, I can strain the technical limitations imposed by cloning procedures to keep just the right amount of genetic markers to prevent brain scan rejection! Do it enough times during a short amount of time, and it is completely possible to rewrite the gene stuff in a clone into something else! From there on, simple breeding programs like those used in domestic animals can be used to pick off traits you want for any given clone! At least that's the theory! It still needs a lot of testing, but if this proves right it can make stuff like cosmethic surgery a thing of the past!

Have you never considered asking Nautilus what he defines as 'Minmatarness'? The whole experiment is built on too many assumptions.

I thought his method for removing "minmatarness" or whatever involved murdering slaves? What exactly is this?

There's an age old question as to whether research should be judged by its roots. Should people use research developed by unethical means? Project Heart Ribbon is an abomination, yes, but I look at this document and I wonder. I see this research has the potential to advance much more ethical causes. If some angry individual happened to acquire the unredacted version, I'd be grateful if they sent it my way.

I think quite a few people would like that version of this as well, myself included....

oh..... I just wanted to know where exactly they were.....

Get on it then. You know the appropriate channels. We'll be in touch.

As for research, I don't care who it helps. They said my tests would help. Not worth it.

Basically, just run.

Except you're missing the point. The results of the research exist. The (atrocious) actions were done. I'm not saying I'm going to do the research. I'm saying I'm looking for an unredacted copy of the results.
It's essentially the same as looting the wreck of a ship that belonged to someone you're at war with.

For the purposes of clarification, do you really mean that they were emancipated, or were they emaciated? The two are somewhat different...
