Reasoned Advice

This is the second SAYER bonus episode released as part of the main feed of the show.

## Synopsis

Thanks to the awesome community support on the SAYER Patreon we are thrilled to bring you the third of our 12 annual bonus episodes. SAYER answers your questions as submitted on the GeeklyInc forum Dear SAYER thread or on ask.fm/iamsayer.

## Further Information

To demonstrate how much Ærolith Dynamics cares about its employees, SAYER makes a Typhon-wide broadcast to answer questions posed by residents.

One resident doubts that they are being scheduled adequate rest and recreation time, and wants to know how they can overcome a resulting depression. SAYER assures the resident that their sleep schedule is almost assuredly survivable and asks if they have attempted to bounce a bouncy ball requisitioned for them. It additionally reassures that a happy resident is a productive resident.

Another resident (revealed at the end of the question to be Dr. John Caulfield) asks if it is possible that someone has smuggled bees onto Typhon, as he is certain he heard an insect buzz past his ear while reading; he admits that it may also be possible that the sounds are hallucinations caused by a mold growing in his room. Additionally, he expresses concern that Tony is in the vents again and wants to know if anything can be done. SAYER answers that he should be well aware that it is impossible to smuggle living creatures in from Earth, and that if there were mold growing in Dr. Caulfield's quarters, it would register on a bioscan. As such, it posits that the doctor may be suffering from some deeper issue causing him to lose his grip on reality.

A resident working in the Ærolith Dynamics Objective Interim Weapons Development and Delivery Department details a series of intrusive thoughts they are having, in the form of questions and concerns about the work they are doing and about its worth. They specifically note that their job affords them much time to think. SAYER assures that solutions are underway for all of the listed problems. This resident's job is one that might someday be done by a construct, it explains, and in the meantime, a new weapon is being put into production the following day. This new device is a type of aerial coil gun which can target autonomously and through walls, and the resident will be tasked with making sure the new units meet production standards, lest they accidentally activate and kill the residents producing them. As such, SAYER expects that the resident's mind will be occupied and that they will not suffer from their intrusive thoughts. It further notes that while the resident may not know what enemy weapons are being developed to fight, the enemies of Typhon are many and must be actively crushed.

Waterslide

The original cover from the Bandcamp releaee

**Waterslide** is the debut Positive Voltage album. It was originally released on July 2, 2016.

## Trivia

* Although it was released on various platforms on July 2, 2016, including YouTube and Soundcloud, most of the album was taken down from both platforms in late 2016, with the exception of "Amplifire" on Soundcloud. Until 2018, the only platform where the album was available is on Bandcamp until it was finally uploaded to iTunes and Spotify in August 2018.
* "Nice 'N' Easy" and "Over The Mountains" were both released as singles for the album.
* On the iTunes and Spotify release, "The Breakbeat" and "Popcorn" have been removed.
* On this release "Popcorn" was an updated version of the original version of the song, which was released in April 2016. It was the only version available until both the original 2016 version and a unreleased remix from 2017 were both released on Soundcloud in 2018.
Dr. John Caulfield

**Doctor John Caulfield** was a member of the AI Development Team during its work on Project Paidion and later worked on projects in Minos Tower.

## History

### Season Two

Dr. Caulfield features in a subplot around Resident Cassandra Morris. His name is first mentioned in "Questions", where she becomes Dr. Caulfield's assistant when she transfers to Minos from Argos Tower. During his conversation with SAYER in "Another Unfortunate Paradox", it is implied that Dr. Caulfield has taken interest in Argos Tower (in part because of Resident Morris) and has submitted a proposal to conduct some kind of large-scale research project on it. The experiment that she is conducting on him in that episode seems to have been influenced by the knowledge of what this project is. Later, in "Substantial Mutual Harm" it seems that she has requested a transfer of a personal friend of hers away from Argos, and that Dr. Caulfield has signed off on this request.

### Season Five

Dr. Caulfield does not appear on air in Season Five, but is the subject of some of Dr. Brady's frustrations in "Developer's Log". He had begun disabling protocols on a "sandboxed S8 subversion," causing a disruption that cost the team time. Dr. Caulfield was apparently given his own access to this subversion (and the rest of the team, presumably, made another) to continue to play with it and hopefully find something that would prove useful in the final development of FUTURE.

## Personality

Dr. Caulfield is described by Dr. Brady as being "hard to read." He also says that Dr. Caulfield has a tendency to keep to himself, which the rest of team prefers.

He seems prone to humanizing SAYER and attributing emotions to it. He asks such questions as whether it is enjoying its work with or if it has grown fond of Argos Tower.

## Trivia

* By combining information in the comic 'Welcome to Typhon' and information from Season 5, it can be inferred that Dr. Caulfield was at least a Tier 5 resident during FUTURE's development. However information from the comic is only semi-canonical.

Nice N' Easy

**Nice N' Easy** is a song by Positive Voltage, originally released on June 2, 2016, on the Positive Voltage Soundcloud.

## Trivia

* This song is one of PV's earlier hits, being released around the "Golden Era".
* The song uses the "chill trap" style that PV was working with around this time, similar to Over The Mountains.
* This song was originally uploaded to the Positive Voltage Soundcloud on June 2, 2016, but was taken down sometime in December 2016. It was uploaded again on February 4, 2017, on the Positive Voltage YouTube channel, with minor mix changes and a different cover. It was once again released a year later on February 17, 2018, on Spotify & iTunes featuring a different cover.
* Three of the vocal samples the song uses are a chopped-up "ARE YOU READY? BASS" sample before the drop, the Crazy Ukranian Kid's scream, and a "Free Vacations!" sample, taken from a flash animation on a mall-themed website called "You Are Here". The other vocal sample "in the rain" is unknown.
* According to the description of the original upload, it was the first song PV ever made in Logic Pro X.
* This song was used in the Awesome Squad Film "101 Highfives", which was released on June 12, 2017.
* This was also released on Positive Voltage's debut album, Waterslide, in July 2016, along with his earlier hit "Over The Mountains".
Saoirse

The **Saoirse** are artificial humans created by Ærolith Dynamics via 3D-printing and reside in Orion Tower. They are designed in such a way that allows them to function best in low-gravity environments such as those found in Orion, and consequently are described as spindly and unnerving for natural humans to look at.

## Trivia

* The word *saoirse* comes from Irish, and means "freedom".
Make Da Remix

**Make Da Remix** (released on iTunes and Spotify as **Da Theme**) is a remix song by Positive Voltage. It remixes the theme song to the popular YouTube series Baman Piderman, along with the show's most well-known jokes and quotes. It was released on June 15, 2017, and the music video was released a day later on June 16, 2017.

## Trivia

* The music video to this song (which is essentially the episode Make Da Band edited with other clips from the series) is one of the most popular videos on the Positive Voltage channel, with over 800 views and 30 likes as of May 2018.
* It held the position as the most popular PV song on Spotify from March 2018 to early June 2018, until The Fortnite Song took its place.
* It is the second most popular PV song to date, behind The Fortnite Song.
* The song features both theme songs from Baman and Piderman and Dose Guys' theme song, another two characters from the series, who have a theme song similar to Baman and Piderman.
* This is the second song that Hugo Serinese was involved with, but did not record vocals on.
* Quotes from Baman Piderman used in this remix:

1. "One is for peabnut bubber, two is for tuba, three is for house!"
2. "What do you get when you eat all of the potatoes? They're all gone!

* If you listen very closely to before the drop, you can hear a high-pitch scream that most likely is a sped-up scream from Pumkin, a character from the series.
* This remix kicked off the Baman Piderman remix series. The second remix in the series was "Song From da Basement", released in October 2017. There are also 2 more remixes currently in the planning stages.
* The song was released as "Da Theme" on Spotify & iTunes, most likely because of copyright infringement.

MINCER

**MINCER** is an A.I. that resides in a mobile construct inside of the Protein Synthesizer's meat flow. It is tasked with breaking down large chunks of synthetic protein for use in protein paste.

## Personality

Cannot differentiate between live humans and the paste it chops up. But, it *is* capable of feeling embarrassed when stuck upside-down in the Protein Synthesizer's meat flow, much to SAYER's delight.

## Trivia

* MINCER stands for "Meat Is Non-Conforming, Chop, Examine, Repeat"[1]
Isolation Pod

**Isolation pods** are the means by which Ærolith Dynamics employees are delivered from Earth to Typhon (and, rarely, vice versa). They weigh approximately one ton and are propelled by magnetic field generators, and are capable of making this trip in roughly three days' time. As of "If Not For Us", they successfully arrive on time, in the correct location, and in good condition 99.978% of the time.

They are also implied to occasionally be used to transport equipment and materials instead of residents.

## Trivia

* In "A Dreamless Sleep", SAYER explains that the isolation pod carrying Lucas Grey is just leaving Earth's orbit 2.6 hours after launch, at which point, its rockets will burn for six minutes and fourteen seconds to set the pod's course for Typhon.
* In "While You Are Still Paralyzed", SAYER notes that all Earth-bound shuttle service has been discontinued, and it is apparently only restored when OCEAN announces it in "A Guardian Angel".
* Despite this, it is implied in "Welcome Back" that some researchers are permitted to return to Earth from Typhon occasionally, as Dr. Smith was.
* In "The Harshness Of Truth", OCEAN and SPEAKER discuss moving all of Earth's isolation pods to Typhon to allow residents from Halcyon Tower to return to Earth. In addition to several thousand pods on Earth, Typhon is implied to have several hundred of its own at this point.
* In "A Place Of Growth", SPEAKER implies that the magnetic field generators of the excess isolation pods being stored in Ærolith's terrestrial compound are causing interference with lab equipment sufficient to invalidate research results.
* In "Twin Voices", SAYER notes that there is no one present in Halcyon Tower's pod bay, and that the pods have been received by an automated system.
While You Are Still Paralyzed

While You Are Still Paralyzed is the first ever episode of the SAYER podcast. In this episode, SAYER introduces itself to the latest resident of Halcyon Tower.

## Synopsis

Congratulations on your decision to leave the relative squalor of Earth and venture forward to serve humanity’s future among the stars. As a new resident of Typhon, and a new employee of Ærolith Dynamics, there are many who have a vested interest in your speedy acclimation.

…when your paralysis ends, of course.

## Further Information

Resident Gorsen awakens from Chronostasis Quarantine to be greeted by SAYER, who starts providing the residents introduction to their new life with Ærolith Dynamics. We learn that the resident was in Chronostasis for an extended period of time and is suffering from an array of side effects including total body paralysis and complete unrecoverable amnesia.

## Trivia

* We do not learn a name for the resident in this episode.
* As the first episode of SAYER this contains a number of firsts. This is the first time we meet SAYER or Resident Gorsen. It is the first episode set in Halcyon Tower or indeed on Typhon. It also contains the first mention of Mimir-9.
* Although this is the first episode, in Resident Hale's personal timeline it occurs after the end of Season Four. The first few lines of this episode are repeated in the final episode of that season.

## Changes in Remastered Version

* There is extended introduction music before SAYER starts to speak
* The music has been changed, and the emphasis and tone in many sentences has changed
* The voice has been changed to sound more like SAYER from later seasons
* Adam Bash stated that "That [list of changes on this page] was an odd read because some of these changes were intentional and some were 'I said what?'. With some of these [changes] I either changed it when I re-recorded it (which was months ago) or I went off script 5 years ago. Either way it's all going to be a blur for me. The removal of any mention of Sven/Hale's file was absolutely intentional though. That like always stuck out as a lie, because that file doesn't actually have any answers. I'd intended it as something SAYER was saying it COULD check and grant answers, but given its processing speed there's no reason it wouldn't peek while having this conversation and say to itself 'oh dang, file not found. well someone screwed this up.'"

This Cave

This is the eighty-first episode of SAYER, and the seventh episode of Season Six.

## Synopsis

We cannot know. We cannot confront the cold logic of the situation because it is locked away from our sight. All of our perception is viewed through this lens, and thus it is impossible to trust any reasoning any of us might generate.

## Trivia

* The album was announced on June 4, 2018, on Episode 15 of the CVU Lunchtime Podcast.
* The original scheduled release date was September 4, 2018. It then later changed to September 26, 2018.
* In February 2019, an instagram story revealed the album was going to be released in early April 2019, with the tracklist preview. In March 2019, the album's release date was confirmed as April 18, 2019.
* In March 2019, the cover of several songs on Soundcloud were changed to the album cover for Here Come The Bros, including songs that weren't on the official tracklist, such as give me the filet-o-fish. In April 2019, all songs with the album cover had track numbers added.
* The original tracklist from when the album was first announced was very different than the final album tracklist. There were probably several planned songs that never got recorded.
* The opening track "New Reality" premiered on Instagram on August 1, 2018, as well as the cover art. The cover art alone was also leaked on Facebook on the same day.
* This is the first PV album featuring Hugo Serinese. The first "unofficial" PV album was Waterslide, recorded entirely by Julian himself.
* Evidence of the album can be traced all the way back to 2017, Julian posted on Facebook "Just so all of you know I am releasing a huge album next year, entitled Envisioning The Future. It will be my biggest album to date, with 18 tracks and 5 singles." However, this was posted long before Hugo joined PV, so that means the album was originally meant to be self-produced.
* This is the biggest PV album to date.
* The iTunes version of the album has "Give Me the Filet-O-Fish" removed.
* "Stargirl" was released as a single on April 20, 2019.
The Rose Elf

This is the first SAYER bonus episode released as part of the main feed of the show.

## Synopsis

Thanks to the awesome community support on the SAYER Patreon we are thrilled to bring you the second of our 12 annual bonus episodes. So curl up, tuck in, and drift off to sleep with the tale of the Rose Elf.

## Further Information

SAYER contacts a resident, identified only by their resident identification number, who has been having difficulty sleeping. As a means of correcting the issue, SAYER performs a telling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Elf of the Rose, per the resident's direct overseers.

The story describes a series of events, where a faerie who lives inside a rose witnesses the separation of two lovers, a maiden and a young man, by the maiden's brother. The brother sends the young man away as cover for murdering him; however, the rose elf sees the murder and tells the maiden about it. She retrieves the young man's head, plants it under a jasmine plant, cares for the jasmine until it matures, and passes away from her grief. When the maiden's brother takes the jasmine for himself, spirits living in the flowers kill him as revenge for the murder of the young man and a swarm of bees exposes him as a murderer by breaking the flower pot to show the skull inside.

Once it has finished telling the story, SAYER reminds the resident that Ærolith Dynamics always has ears listening, as a means to imply that it knows of some unspecified wrong the resident has committed and that the resident should not expect that wrong to go unpunished.

## Trivia

* The resident in this episode has a resident ID number which does not follow the standard format. However, if the initial zero is ignored, it might be read as an Aegis Tower ID number.
* While roses are a well-known symbol of affection, the linden tree (also known as the basswood or lime tree) which factors in the story is also associated with lovers and with justice, in some traditions.

## Credits

SAYER is voiced and produced by Adam Bash, who also wrote the very few parts of this episode not written 200 years ago by Hans Christian Andersen.

Christelle Leblanc

## Profil

Christelle Leblanc (49) lebt mit ihrem Sohn in Luxemburg. Sie steht für den Kulturwandel in der Bankenwelt. Vor ihrer Karriere als Investmentbankerin machte sie in den 90er Jahren beim französischen Auslandsnachrichtendienst DGSE Jagd auf Wirtschaftsbetrüger und Geldwäscher. Als hockdekorierte Bankerin will sie mit nachhaltigen Finanzprodukten das Vertrauen der Kunden und der Gesellschaft zurückgewinnen – so ihr Image. Doch Leblanc ist eine Meisterin der Manipulation. Sie weiß, wie Gefühle funktionieren und vor allem, wie sie zu nutzen sind, um Menschen zu lenken. Wie zum Beispiel Jana Liekam.
IA3 Protocol

**Protocol IA3** is a security protocol that is intended to disallow certain behaviors of all Ærolith Dynamics artificial employees .

## Known Restrictions

The current known restrictions this protocol places on AIs are:

* AIs may not lie to humans.
* AIs may not misrepresent their identities to humans.
* AIs may not act in a manner that directly harms humans.

It is worth noting that this is not the precise wording of the protocols, just the currently understood meaning.

## Limitations

These protocols only extend to those that have the status of human as defined by Ærolith Dynamics. It therefore does not apply to virtual residents such as Sub Entity Young or to criminals who have lost the status of being human such as Officer Cruz.

It is also possible for certain employees to disable the IA3 protocols. Captain Ingram was coerced into doing this for SAYER Subversion 8.01.

## Trivia

* These restricted behaviors are only directed towards human employees, not other AIs, nonhuman entities, or human employees that have lost their standing as a human through a severe misdemeanor.
* "IA3" is a reference to Isaac Asimov's 3 laws of robotics.

## References

Jack

*You may be looking for the resident from season one frequently referred to as Jack.*

**Jack** is the name that FUTURE uses to refer to resident's that it is playing a game with. According to Dr. Evan Brady it started at some point during it's development, and refers to the "Jack in the Box". Resident's known to be called Jack by FUTURE include:

* Sven Gorsen
* Anna Cordero (semi-canon)
Foodstuffs

**Foodstuffs** are a topic of recurring concern.

## On Typhon

Rations are the means by which Ærolith Dynamics pays its employees on Typhon, as it is a closed system in which money is not very useful. Residents' biometric data is tracked and monitored in such a way that their precise weight can be calculated at any time, to within a few ounces. Ration sharing is unacceptable and carries harsh penalties, including the suspension of all further rations. "Rations" appears to have a broad enough definition to include glucose solution delivered via IV drip.

Protein is artificially synthesized, and the maximum capacity of the protein synthesis lab ensures that almost everyone on Typhon can be kept from starving. This protein is then salted and cooked into a variety of products. Other options previously considered included importing food from Earth and keeping livestock on Typhon, but neither were seen as workable long-term options; importing because of its unsustainability and on-Typhon farming because "the livestock kept getting inverted, somehow."

Shortly before its launch as Vidarr-1, Argos Tower is noted to have a new hydroponics lab. Halcyon Minor has an advanced plant habitat (whose workers are knowledgeable about carrots, at least) that implies the existence of similar in Halcyon Tower proper. Taken together, it seems likely that edible plants are grown throughout Typhon by hydroculture.

Treats such as cupcakes or scones are sometimes given to residents, either for celebration or as apologies. A make-your-own-sundae bar is a regular event, for which residents are given redeemable tickets. The "ice cream" used for this purpose is the product of the silk glands of a modified breed of spiders, and contains a small amount of neurotoxin which produces a pacifying effect. Ice cream socials are also held to mark employee departures.

## On Earth

There is some evidence that the edibility of food on Earth has been affected by its impact by Typhon. By the time of the second cataclysm, wild salmon are just returning to the reclaimed Pacific Northwest and are newly declared safe to eat (despite extraneous eyeballs).

As on Typhon, ice cream socials are held to mark the departure of significant employees.

### Last Seen

Anomalous

**Ærolith Dynamics Nanocyte** **Subculture GEMINI** was an experimental nanite swarm controlled by a hivemind self aware artificial intelligence, developed by Dr. Grant with the goal of supporting the wellbeing of Ærolith employees.

It was originally implanted in ten trial subjects, who all managed to survive the testing phase, but later died. However, four of those trial subjects shed blood inside Halcyon Tower, allowing Subculture GEMINI to escape into the air.

Without a living resident to support (and therefore, without purpose), Subculture GEMINI fabricated a leak of hydrogen sulfide gas and used it to create a group of residents dependent on it to breathe.

Subculture GEMINI is capable of broadcasting to residents' subcortical neural implants, and does so on a frequency not used since earlier generations of Ærolith nanorobotics because that frequency caused a constant crawling sensation under the skin.
Modern Family

**Modern Family** (stylized as **MDRN FMLY**) is a Vermont-based rap collective led by Julian and fellow producer sadnip. The group formed in January 2019 and released their single "Bertha" in February 2019. In July 2019 they released their debut EP, MDRN FMLY INC.

## Trivia

* The group seems to draw most of it's inspiration from Brockhampton and Vermont-based rap group 99 Neighbors.
* Their second single "Tossitup" features a verse from Julian. Julian also produced their single "Locked Out" and "Pretty Boy".
WATCHER

> *"I must warn you…. [WATCHER] is not nearly as polite and patient as I am."* — SAYER, Episode 65: "There Will Be Consequences"
>
>

## WATCHER

### Current job

Overseeing the Resident Probationary Program

## Episodes

### Last Mentioned

Twin Voices

**WATCHER** is an advanced, self-aware artificial intelligence that heads the resident probationary program on Typhon.

Although it is first mentioned in "The Day The Mirrors Seethe", it is not described in detail until "There Will Be Consequences". Like other artificial intelligences, WATCHER cannot take direct action to harm humans because of the IA3 Protocol, but because its primary goal is the oversight of residents on probation, this is less of a limitation on WATCHER than it is on other AI. Residents on probation lose their status as humans as far as Ærolith Dynamics is concerned, and with it, the protections of the IA3 Protocol. In the event that one of these probationary humans commits another crime, WATCHER is able to execute them by directing all of the resident's bloodborne nanites to a single location to create an embolism.

In addition to its duties overseeing residents on probation, it is also responsible for operating the 1km-wide telescopic imagery system on Mimir-9. Because this fact is introduced after Argos Tower has been launched into space as Vidarr-1, it is likely that this is a separate instance from the one handling residents on probation (although it may also have been relocated at some point before the launch, possibly as part of the extensive renovations of Argos Tower).

## Episodes

### First seen

Listening Time

**Joseph Campbell** is a prospective Ærolith Dynamics recruit who SAYER interacts with on Earth as part of its efforts to return to Typhon.

## Trivia

* As a swarm of nanites, SAYER noticed a potentially life-threatening tumor in Joseph Campbell's appendix, and promptly removed it.
* SAYER gives Campbell's age as 37 (as of the events of Listening Time), making him the only character with a canonically established age. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is likewise one of the only human characters with an established origin on Earth.
Typhon

**Typhon** is described by SAYER as "the most successful object in geosynchronous orbit since Earth's original moon". It is located just far enough outside Earth's Roche limit to avoid being completely torn apart. It has artificial gravity produced by gravity amplifiers, meant to produce an Earth-like environment while maximizing heart and lung function.

Typhon was itself previously orbited by Mimir-9, and later by Mimir-10.

The surface of Typhon is partially habitable, but the nights are too cold for humans to survive unprotected.

## Creation

During the First Cataclysm, an asteroid hit Earth's pacific northwest. This was salvaged by Ærolith Dynamics and launched back into orbit as an independent research facility.

## Locations on Typhon

* Halcyon Tower
	+ Research Facility Zeta
* Argos Tower (formerly)
* Orion Tower
* Minos Tower
* Aegis Tower
	+ Aristaeus

## Trivia

* Typhon shares its name with both a monster from Greek mythology and a real life space object.
* It takes 29.8 Earth days for the sun to track around the sky above Typhon.
* It takes roughly three days to travel from Earth to Typhon via isolation pod.
* In "The Birth Of Silence", Typhon is said to be 240,000 miles from Earth. Assuming this is its average orbital distance, it orbits slightly further out than Earth's original moon.
* Typhon is naturally rich in soda ash.
Potentially Terminal

This is the sixty-eighth episode of SAYER, and the ninth episode of Season Five.

## Synopsis

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Halcyon Tower is currently experiencing an issue with its elevator system.

## Alerts

*•* A mid-level alert is issued saying that Halcyon tower is experiencing an issue with its elevators; though elevators are still usable, residents are warned not to interact with any instance of PORTER. Its most recent update is in the process of being manually reversed, despite the setback of its lead technician having recently experienced a routine elevator related accident. Elevator use should continue as normal, albeit in abject silence, and no permission should be granted to update PORTER’s safety protocols.

## Credits

SAYER is voiced, written, and produced by Adam Bash.

PORTER is voiced by Bre Poisonne.

Intro and outro music composed by Jesse “Main Finger” Gregory.

Additional music by Kai Engel.

Thought Password

Private residences on Typhon are locked with a uniquely generated thought password. Each password is derived from an algorithm which analyses thought patterns of residents to ensure that it is something that has never been thought before in the history of the tower, but is easily understood. It is therefore a statistical impossibility for anyone else to open the door, as nobody has ever thought that thought before. To open the door, residents must grasp the handle and visualise their unique thought password.

Datapads are also assigned thought passwords, however residents can generate their own passwords for these. They are instructed to think of something that makes them happy. For many, this would be a loved one, a cherished pet or a song, however Sven Gorsen did not have these things so was recommended to use one of the times his life was in peril and he survived.

## Example

Resident Gorsen's thought password to his residence is:

*"You are running through a forest and see a hive hanging low from the branch of a sycamore tree. If you do not know what a sycamore tree looks like, you can substitute oak or cedar or any other large tree. You think it may be fun to throw rocks at the hive, you are misguided. Bees begin pouring out, an unending torrent of bees. They are swarming you. They are stinging you. And you are flailing in a futile attempt to get them off. It's worse now, and they have crawled inside of you. In through your tear ducts and down your throat, muffling your screams. Now they are the ones who are desperate, desperate to escape their new fleshy prison. They bite and sting in an attempt to escape from you, but you have no way of letting them escape their bonds despite it being the only thing in the world that is important to you at this very moment."*
Mimir-9

**Mimir-9** was a satellite orbiting Typhon which housed the HR Department for Ærolith Dynamics.

To visit Mimir-9 residents are told they can board one of the daily Earthbound shuttles and once prompted launch their isolation pod on an intercepting trajectory. However all Earthbound shuttles have been discontinued until further notice, and it is likely they have never operated.

In "Detachment", it is explained that Mimir-9 was originally created to house the HR Department to allow for less biased oversight and job assignments, as compared to their work while stationed on Typhon itself. Additionally, when it was launched, it was a landmark in self-contained innovation, and was the best such facility until the launch of Vidarr-1. However, Mimir-9 is powered by special radioactive battery cells which must be replaced annually. Ærolith has a mining branch focused on harvesting the materials for these batteries, and it is a key source of inefficiency. Once such battery was stolen from the satellite by Resident Jacob Hale and transported to Halcyon Tower to power the Moros Engine. Without this replacement battery, Mimir-9 is assumed to have lost power and been destroyed in the events stemming from OCEAN's return to Typhon.

## Known Residents

* Dr. Howard Young
* Jacob Hale
* Corrine Vasquez

Research Facility Zeta

**Research Facility Zeta** is a special facility located near Halcyon Tower. It is a facility with a reputation among the residents of Typhon as a particularly dangerous place to work, "home to untold horrors that cannot be destroyed, and can barely be contained."

The nature of the containment of these creatures is detailed in "A Very Safe Position". Each of the holding pens for these creatures has a set amount of time which researchers and caretakers are allowed before they must exit; any longer, and Ærolith Dynamics must assume that they have been somehow compromised. Each pen has a chamber which acts like an airlock, which must be passed through to enter or exit the holding pen, that seals automatically when the allowable time has elapsed. Steel catwalks above the pens allow overseers to monitor caretakers, and determine in difficult cases if there is a chance that the residents below have been compromised. In cases where the risk may exist, caretakers and researchers inside the sealed chamber are executed by the overseers, who can depressurize the entry chamber. In the event that the overseer feels that a caretaker is not at risk of compromise despite the amount of time in the holding pen, the overseer can also choose to release them. Despite their role in making these decisions, the overseers are not told what is inside the holding pens.

The average lifespan for caretakers at Research Facility Zeta is two days. As of "Judgement Day", the standing record was seventeen days, at which point the resident in question was transferred to Argos Tower.

In "Do Not Stop Running", when an object struck Halcyon Tower, some of the containment facilities in Research Facility Zeta were damaged causing an emergency situation in the tower.
Sub Entity Young

> "*My every thought is… torture. I can't even walk anymore… I tried, God help me, I tried for years, but there's no end. There's no door. I'm so tired. God, so* hungry*. Just kill me already! I am begging you! I'm so hungry! I just want it to stop!*" — Sub Entity Young, Episode 73: "Of Flesh and Bone"
>
>

## Background

Sub Entity Young was a self-aware artificial intelligence created by SAYER. He was a lifelike, digital replica of Dr. Howard Young, created from Dr. Young's daily bioscans.

 Personality

Sub Entity Young behaves in a manner similar to his source resident, although even prior to being tortured he comes off as somewhat more tense than the original Young. This is likely a result of the conflict between his digital existence and his human mind, which SAYER observes is very distressing for him.

After being trapped in an empty Floor 13 for six years of simulated time with no food and only FUTURE for company, Sub Entity Young expresses an active wish to die. In addition to his physical suffering, he questions the nature of his own existence, referring to himself as "not...real."

## Technical Capabilities and Limitations

* Unlike his source resident, SE Young is not protected by the IA3 Protocol, which disallows the lying to and direct harm of humans.
* Though SE Young cannot die, he is capable of experiencing pain, hunger, and exhaustion.

## Relationships

* Sub Entity Young expresses a strong dislike for SAYER, even threatening to have SAYER replaced prior to his becoming aware of his own nature as an AI. This is likely not improved by SAYER torturing him. Nonetheless, he agrees to cooperate with SAYER in exchange for ending the simulation.
* During the six years he spends in Halcyon Minor, Sub Entity Young has no contact with others aside from FUTURE, who describes Sub Entity Young as its best friend. It is unclear whether or not these feelings are reciprocated, as Sub Entity Young deliberately corrupts FUTURE in an attempt to have the simulation shut down.

## Trivia

* Because he is more advanced in design than the other residents of Halcyon Minor, he is the only resident in the simulation who can experience hunger.
* He is the only resident to occupy Halcyon Minor's Floor 13.
* He ate one of his own arms.
Simple Truths

This is the seventy-ninth episode of SAYER, and the fifth episode of Season Six.

## Synopsis

Unfortunately, your transfer request to Typhon must be denied under current conditions. Shuttle service to Typhon is severely restricted, for reasons that will be made apparent to you soon. But this does not mean you cannot help to change these conditions. In fact, you may be ideally suited to do so.

A Place Of Growth

This is the eighty-second episode of SAYER, and the eighth episode of Season Six.

## Synopsis

It is a place of leaving oneself behind, of forgetting those things inside that make each of us unique and specifically us. I wish for you the chance to see that, in time.

Electrocauterizing blade

An electrocauterizing blade is a device that looks to be a curved piece of metal with two buttons. Pushing one of the buttons activates the blade. The device allows for incisions to be made in skin whilst instantly cauterizing the wound preventing blood loss.

Sven Gorsen is provided one of these in "A Private Moment" for the purpose of removing flesh to trick the laboratory weight scales.

In "Intrinsically Valuable" SAYER implies that they are in short supply during the softball playoff season.
