Incredibly so, I would say.Incredibly so, I would say. Although the project itself is officially declared a failure, Dr. Carter's technique holds promise for invasive debriefing methods. The subject survived the surgery with excellent vital signs. He remained unconscious for an indeterminate time. Due to a monitoring error, we have no way of determining exactly when he regained consciousness.] [See file JB1714, "The Hypnotic Eye." Security responsible have been terminated. -AW] Day 1, 0930: [The device seemed to be functioning, but there was no transcript output. After Drs. Carter, Moriat, and myself discussed this with the rest of the project team, it was decided to increase the output 15%. This did have some effect, and we began to get some projections from the subject.] Nurse Sara Martin was performing yet another of her half-hourly checks on her lone patient. She felt funny, because the old man's eyes seemed to follow her whenever she was in the room. She got the distinct impression that he was leering at her. She was safe, of course. He was paralyzed, underneath an oxygen tent with those horrible wires connected through his skull. She suppressed a small shudder as she left. Wilbur Cross watched her leave. He was a tired old man, in pain, and his body had finally betrayed him completely. If only I was a young man again... That blonde nurse, so pretty, the green eyes, reminds me of... damn... her name... the stocky physique... that was OK, most women these days are too danged skinny anyhow, like that night nurse. The pain renewed its attack on his thoughts. The nurse will be back in a bit, he tried to tell it. I just wish I could communicate with 'em, and tell 'em that I need more dope. |
