Experiment 37: Kitsune

Dr. Chen's latest psychological assessment has raised concerning implications regarding 37's developing self-awareness. During routine testing, the subject spent 43 minutes examining her reflection, tracing the surgical scars along her muzzle before asking if she "used to be someone else." When questioned about the meaning behind this statement, 37 became visibly distressed, causing localized power failures across three adjacent labs. Of particular note was her repeated insistence that she could remember "a different face" but couldn't recall whose face it was. Given the mounting evidence of memory retention from the base genetic template, I formally recommend immediate termination of Dr. Chen's evaluation sessions and an increase in chemical suppressants. We cannot risk another breakthrough triggering an emotional cascade, especially given 37's exponentially increasing power outputs. - Director Walsh
