Surviving a Desert

Only move at dusk and dawn. 

Cover yourself. The sun is an old and angry thing. 

Try not to leave tracks. 

Not all that is visible is real. 

Not all that is real is visible. 

When you start hearing the voices of the dead, settle down and do not move. They will pass you by. 

Do not approach caravans. 

Dreams had in the desert are either prophetic or real. Decide wisely which to believe. 

There are no wolves here. You will hear them anyway. 

Never rest in the bottom of a dune valley. 

Do not speak to anything that has not proven itself to be human. 

When the sand shakes, run. 

Cover your mouth. The sand will coat your lungs. 

Seeing things in the day is not a problem. Seeing things at night should be.  

Never play the flute. 

Always carry a sack of sugar for hungry things. 

You are meat. Do not forget this fact. 

If there is something in your periphery, do not look at it. It wants you to. 

Dig yourself into the ground in a sandstorm. The wind will take you away. 

The flames are not real. 

The shadows are not real. 

Never close your tent flap all the way. It is impolite. 

Never let your lantern go out. 

The ancient have no love for the young. 

Do not drink water offered to you. 

Do not watch the dancers. They will trick you. 

There should be no clouds. If there are, move until they disappear. 

Travel alone. You will invariably lose your companions. 

Someone will cry out for help. Do not follow the voice. 

The murmurs of veiled ones are to be disregarded.

Facility Specimen Files S-Class Specimens

Specimen J0702 Classification: S-Passive Description: J0702 is a 1.77m (5′ 10″) tall man with brown hair, blue eyes, and facial hair. Specimen is often seen wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and trainers. The sclera of J0702′s right eye is bright green. J0702 is cheerful and amicable in nature, tends to be very loud and energetic. Empathetic and optimistic. Specimen Ability(s): Specimen seems at first to be no more than the average human, the only difference being the right sclera. However, extended observation has shown that J0702′s right eye is an entity itself (referred to as J0702-A). Intermittently, J0702-A will remove itself from J0702′s socket and hover around, exploring on its own. J0702-A remains connected to J0702 by a length of optic nerve that can stretch up to 2m (6′ 7″). Optic nerve has been shown to be nearly indestructible (see file on A1010/J0702 interactions.) J0702-A seems to have a consciousness of its own, being very friendly and doglike in nature. J0702 has admitted to being able to understand J0702-A’s emotions and wants, but not its thoughts. Containment Procedure: J0702 does not require intense containment. As long as the containment area is comfortable and allows entertainment, J0702 will be satisfied. Recently specimen has been complaining of restlessness and loneliness, as well as frustration to lack of knowledge about the facility at large. Consideration is being put into introducing J0702 to C1104 and H1509, in hopes that this interaction can help all three of them.
