Subject expresses interest in and has begun creation of alternate fantasy world without humans, named "Reyvateilia". Possible response to feelings of alienation, inferiority, isolation. Probably a fantasy akin to those demonstrated by children of subject's approximate emotional age; as such do not consider threat level to have risen. However, monitor for hints of rebellious thought processes.

...I thought we weren't admitting that she had emotions now? You're basically saying you can apply human developmental psychology to her, which I think says a lot.

I know this is warfare, gods know we can't make a crying deal out of every casualty, I knew this when I started and honestly I was prepared to see this through even if it turned out like this, but....

Personally? I'm having a hard time keeping this up. It's not any great moral qualm I have-- if it were I wouldn't have signed up for this. I just don't like the way I'm left feeling when I've never once treated her better than a machine and she still runs after me when I try and leave. Even a dog will run away if you kick it enough times, but I can be jabbing needles into her and it'll be like I could do that all day and she wouldn't move because she's so damn lonely and bored. And I can't even do anything to be like, look, it's not so bad, have some reason to not feel like a piece of meat.

I'm not bailing, I'm just saying understand how hard this is for us. Can you cut us some slack?

You say you know this is warfare, but I really don't think you get it. It doesn't matter if she's intelligent or feeling. In warfare you stick needles into real kids if it'll help you win. How long have you been in this business again?

It's important not to stimulate the emotions that have already developed in her. If we need to shut them down it's going to be easier if there's less clutter in there to deal with.

Long enough to be sick of it, it seems like.

Like I said, I know it's what you have to do, I just hate doing it.

Don't you hate doing it?

I don't LIKE doing it. But I don't always have to like my job. It's called being professional.

Aren't we stimulating her emotions by making her upset and frustrated?

You shouldn't be trying to make her upset and frustrated. The point is to give her absolutely neutral, that is, emotionless stimulus.
