Xenobiological Intern’s Log: Observing the Human Known as “Reynolds”

  Date: [Unknown – Earth Calendar Incomprehensible]

  Intern ID: Trainee Observer Zil-Vatek 349 (I am not prepared for this assignment.)

  I have been assigned to observe Earth.

  This was not my first choice.

  I requested a quiet, stable observation post—perhaps a distant gas giant or a pre-industrial civilization.

  Instead?

  I have been stationed to monitor Sol-3, a planet where:

  ? The dominant species is actively accelerating its own destruction.

  ? Their “leaders” are more interested in arguing than avoiding planetary collapse.

  ? They have discovered nuclear weapons and immediately used them.

  ? They are currently experiencing an existential crisis about whether or not they are alone in the universe.

  They are not alone.

  I know this because I am watching them.

  And, most alarmingly, I have been assigned to monitor one specific human.

  His name is Reynolds.

  And after only a short period of observation, I have one conclusion:

  This planet is doomed.

  Phase One: The First Time I Observed Reynolds

  I was instructed to monitor human military research facilities for signs of biological enhancement experiments.

  At first, I thought Surely, this species is not that reckless.

  I was wrong.

  Within minutes of observing Project Canid, I witnessed:

  ? A human engineer screaming because a genetically enhanced canine had stolen his ID badge.

  ? An explosion in the distance that no one seemed particularly concerned about.

  ? A facility-wide security alert that was dismissed with “Oh, it’s just Cairo again.”

  ? A large, terrifying specimen known as “Nemo” casually carrying another human like a sack of grain.

  And in the middle of this chaos?

  A single, bewildered human.

  The one they called Reynolds.

  Phase Two: The Human Known as “Reynolds”

  At first, I assumed Reynolds was a researcher, a scientist, or at the very least, someone with authority.

  But after further observation, I have determined that Reynolds is simply trapped.

  ? He is not in charge.

  ? He does not control anything.

  ? He frequently mutters about “needing a new job.”

  ? Despite this, he is the one that both the genetically enhanced canines and the humans go to for help.

  Why?

  I do not know.

  But I have concluded that his suffering is constant and inevitable.

  Phase Three: The Time I Witnessed Him Discover the Lost Three

  Recently, Reynolds began investigating a classified portion of his facility’s records.

  He discovered that three genetically enhanced soldiers had been “removed” from Project Canid.

  ? Their files were erased.

  ? Their existence was denied.

  ? Yet, they were still out there.

  Upon realizing this, Reynolds experienced great distress.

  He attempted to ask his colleagues for answers.

  None were given.

  Instead, he was met with:

  ? A cryptic smirk from “Cairo.”

  ? An amused chuckle from “Smoky.”

  ? An uncomfortable silence from “Nemo.”

  ? A slow, knowing smile from “Rags,” which I have determined to be extremely concerning.

  At this point, I noted that Reynolds’ heart rate increased significantly.

  I do not blame him.

  Even I—**a being not of this world—**felt unease.

  Phase Four: The News Report That Made Things Worse

  Not long after, a terrestrial news source reported an attack.

  ? The victim: A human with a history of criminal behavior.

  ? The attacker: Described as wearing a “dog-like mask.”

  ? The outcome: The victim later convicted of crimes against a child.

  Reynolds read this report.

  He realized, almost immediately, what I had already concluded:

  ? One of the missing three is not just alive.

  ? He is hunting.

  ? He is targeting those he deems “unworthy.”

  His response?

  A long, exasperated sigh, followed by:

  "Oh, that’s just great. We’ve got a rogue Batman dog out there."

  I do not know what “Batman” is.

  But I do know this: Reynolds fears this development.

  So do I.

  Phase Five: What This Means for Earth

  ? This planet is in crisis.

  ? Its governments are weak.

  ? Its technology is unstable.

  ? Its enhanced super-soldiers are no longer under control.

  And now?

  Now, the lost ones have returned.

  And I do not think they are coming back to make peace.

  Final Thoughts (I Would Like to Be Reassigned Immediately)

  ? Humanity was not supposed to reach this level of military biotechnology.

  ? They have done it anyway.

  ? They have lost control of their own creations.

  ? And now they do not know how to contain them.

  ? Reynolds, somehow, is caught in the middle of all of this.

  I do not know how this ends.

  But I do know this—

  If these “Good Boys” are truly loose in the world, Earth’s fate may already be sealed.

  I will continue to observe.
