-ay's date is February 19th, 2020. As I near the end of this project, I have grown bolder, and I have been giving the most recent subjects riskier and risker powers (such as subjects 018, 037, and 006). As a safety measure, I have also designed a magical bracelet which I can use to dampen or completely block powers at will. Every subject with abilities is currently wearing one of these on an arm (or leg).

Tomorrow, I will start work on the final details needed before I can set them free. I will be recording my work on that in the next and final log.

Listed below are the last 9 new subjects and results of the abilities my experimentation brought to them.

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 018]

This ability was nearly impossible to test at first. If I even told him about it to see if it worked or not, Subject 018 would simply draw some location outside of my laboratory and escape. Yes, he would be considerably easy to catch, but I cannot risk too much.

Fortunately, I eventually thought of a solution: I would tweak his memories until the only two locations he knew were two separate rooms inside the lab. It worked like a charm. I returned his memories to him after getting a dampener secured to his wrist.

[SUBJECT 040]

I knew giving Subject 040 the ability to see into the future would be interesting, but I didn't expect her to adapt to it quite so quickly. She began to finish my sentences, and answer my questions before I had even asked them. It's a little disconcerting, actually.

But she did give some very valuable info. She said every time she changed a decision to do something, or made one if she had difficulty choosing, the future would change as well, revealing that what we do does actually matter in the end, rather than everything having a predetermined outcome. It's only made me more determined than ever to complete this project.

[SUBJECT 025]

Subject 025 can now manipulate... hm. I was originally going to say "the gravitational fields of other objects," but I realized that was inaccurate, as that would imply she could affect the earth's gravitational field, which is untrue. I suppose a more correct description is that she can manipulate how the earth's gravitational field can affect other objects (both sentient and inanimate). By "manipulate," I mean she can increase or decrease the target object's gravity, and even set it to zero, making them entirely weightless. I've lifted other objects before, but I had never experienced what it was like to float around myself before this. It was quite enjoyable.

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 037]

If not for the dampening bracelets I had created earlier, trying to catch Subject 037 after giving her her power would have been nearly impossible, as she tried to escape several times by teleporting out of the lab. I have never been so grateful to be in possession of something than can be remote-controlled in my life.

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 002]

After his experimentation, Subject 002 has an ability very similar to the "benders" from the second wave of subjects, most notably Subject 036, or the "earthbender." Rather than the earth itself, however, he can control nature, such as plants, wood, and... er, I suppose that's it. But "plants" is a very broad term, so 002 has many options. Alongside the control of nature, he can additionally accelerate the growth of any flora he controls.

Note: this includes sentient plant life as well, such as himself (as he is made out of wood), 011, 019, 034, and 047. I neglected to see if the other "benders" could control objects that matched their elements previously, and it turns out they can. (Subject 005 can control 001 and 054; Subject 019 can control 030; Subject 024 can control 003, 008, and 012; Subject 036 can control 015; and Subject 056 can sort of control any metal parts an object may have.)

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 006]

Much like Subject 046, I had to tweak 006's ability so that she could not erase the material that her cell walls and floor are made of, but it was easier the second time around. Using her eraser, 006 can now erase through almost any material, whether it's solid, liquid, or gas. If she moves her head fast enough, I can hear air rushing in to fill the space she left behind.

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 058]

With all the other complicated abilities, I decided that a relatively simple one is what Subject 058 needed. If she concentrates hard enough, she can create a spherical shield of purple energy, which ranges between 5-10 feet in diameter. It appears to be indestructible, but every time it is hit, 058 becomes more and more tired. If she falls unconscious, the bubble collapses on its own.

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 003]

For reason unknown, Subject 003 appears to be mute; a unique trait which none of the other 63 objects I have in captivity possess. Even objects with unconventional methods of communication, or those who have difficulty talking - 015, 021, 031, 043, and 048 - can still talk. Despite all my research on these objects, I've never been able to figure out what determines which traits each object has, such as limb count, or gender, or other quirks.

But that answer can wait for another day. Using the power of magic and science, I have given 003 a voice of her own. Well... almost. Technically, she doesn't have her own voice, but she can use other's at will. It's odd to hear your own voice coming from someone else's mouth, and EXTREMELY odd when said other person is using your voice to shout various swears at you.

Note: for a previously-mute individual, Subject 003 has quite the vocabulary of violent curse words stored in her brain.

~~~~~

[SUBJECT 029]

The final subject. Although I've already broken the boundaries of science and beyond several times, I wanted this last one to be a true testament of my own abilities. And what better way to do that than prove you can manipulate time?

As a result, Subject 029 can now "freeze" time. I would have used the word "stop," but 029 tells me that the air around him when time is frozen literally grows cold, so I think it's more appropriate. However, time is an unfathomably powerful force and always wants to move forward. Approximately two "minutes" of frozen time is all 029 can withstand before he collapses with exhaustion, and time continues as normal.

64 objects. From those objects, 32 subjects experimented on. From those subjects, 32 (mostly) unique abilities. With this, the core of my project is complete. And ahead of schedule, too. The next episode's date is supposed to be March 24th, 2020, which means I have 32 days to finish up and get these contestants back to their show. Plenty of time.

This is the end of this recording. Signing out until the next, and final, log.

Phew. Now that everyone's powers have been revealed, I can clarify some things down here that I've been wanting to do for a while.

First off, only contestants who were in the mansion, way back in the second chapter of this book, when Lightning zapped it got powers of some sort (minus Lightning himself), which is half the cast. (I think I bit off a little more than I could chew there, haha.) Here's a handy-dandy visual to show who has powers and who doesn't.



Secondly, the method I used for numbering the contestants in these log chapters. Some of you may know about the "BFDI generations" image below. I used that as a basis to create three additional generations after it (the contestants in Gens 6-8 are ordered alphabetically.)





If you want, you can use that to go back through the log chapters and see who exactly I'm talking about every time a number is mentioned!
