OBSERVATION LOGS

ENTRY 001: March 15, 2003

Subject discovered in Blackfeather settlement. Notable isolation from other villagers despite communal living arrangement. Self proclaimed "Different" and "Strange and Unusual". Spends considerable time practicing with a stringed instrument (identified as "bass guitar").

She plays poorly but with determination. The villagers treat her with protective caution. They speak of her parents in past tense. Assumed dead, emotional reaction.

ENTRY 007: March 22, 2003

Subject's pet crow returned today after 2-week absence. Bird exhibits tertiary ocular development and behavioral changes. Active editory action by me. Subject unaware of physiological alterations, only expresses relief at reunion.

Crow now functions as mobile observational unit. Subject's emotional attachment to the bird presents optimal leverage point for deeper engagement.

ENTRY 015: April 1, 2003

First direct contact established. Subject approached me at forest edge after observing my presence for 27 minutes. Conversation initiated regarding her musical practice. She is lonely. She wants to leave Blackfeather.

"It's lovely. May I listen?" She agreed. The integration protocol has begun.

ENTRY 023: April 10, 2003

Subject has agreed to accompany me on ethnographic survey. Rationale provided: "To preserve what humanity has left." She believes this is a noble endeavor. Her idealism is fascinating. Positive move, no direct suspicion or violence.

The crow remains with her at all times. Its footage is remarkably clear. She calls it her "friend." She has named it "Poe," a name from a pre-infection storybook she carries with her.
