-----: Vital Levels at optimum. No signs of stressors, enhancement of Midichlorian levels per the client suggest artificial stimulation of Force Sensitivity is plausible. Testing with blood samples from donors and crossing genes from various species yields a high rate of return on neural impulses. The subject seems responsive, even in embryonic stages.
Off record:
Jericho has experienced several headaches within proximity to subject.
More data necessary to draw conclusion. We have begun to monitor for psionic activity.
-----: The subject has grown to fetal stage and displays remarkable responsiveness to subtle electron stimuli. Flashes of blue and golden light on a microscopic scale hint at Cavitation around the immediate vicinity. Accordingly, any direct contact with the subject or its habitat have been restricted to case by case bases.
Jericho seems to whisper to himself infrequently, but several
associates have reported that he seems to be holding a conversation.
The headaches have ceased, for the moment.
We will continue observation.
-----: In the final stages of growth, the subject has displayed nearly autonomous awareness. It has opened both eyes and appears to be aware of us. It seems to be blind, though its eyes may not be fully developed. It fixes us with a vacant gaze intermittently, but all unnatural phenomena have seemingly come to a halt.
Jericho is very obviously conversing with himself now.
His brain waves seem inconsistent with the sort of
manipulation commonly associated with Force use.
There is no cause, as such, to believe the subject is tampering
wit----
Blood is smeared across the record at this point, where the writing abruptly halts.
Record Zero Seven Seven Two
First Order Military Research and Division Unit
The subject came to us nearly four years ago, transferred from the labs at Arkanian Micro. Since, he has shown a stunning rate of growth, and taken astoundingly well to education protocols. We have monitored his progress unflinchingly for the Supreme Leader, who seems most interested in his development. Though there are discrepancies with the manner in which codename Jacques came to be in our care, it would appear that he is well suited to all of our advanced military protocols, and we have begun to condition him.
His growth was artificial, but once the birthing process was complete, he appears to have slowed to near human levels of aging. We are altogether uncertain of the conditions of his creation, or the genes utilized in the process, but he scores frequently in the upper percentiles on all tests administered.

Today, the Praetor has asked that I begin keeping a log of my own records, for the sake of observation. They call me "Jacques." I prefer that to 0772, but respond to both. I have been a part of the First Order since birth. The Supreme Leader speaks to me, from time to time. They can't hear him, but I know that it's his voice.
It whispers in my mind, like the reassuring voice of a father. The father I never had.
I am eighteen today. Old enough to join the Stormtrooper corps of my own volition, if I wish. Father offered me the opportunity. He said life as a Stormtrooper is not easy, but it is just and fair. I have trained and spoken with dozens of men who did join, and all of them were fine people. Some of them have even returned to visit.
It is tempting, the call to serve. My deepest wish is to give all for father. But there is more than that. I feel, somehow, that I have more to offer than a Stormtrooper alone can give.
Record 0772
Due to anomalies in the neural function of subject 0772, we have quarantined him to his quarters. The Supreme Leader has been notified, and he insists upon visiting the boy himself. Two attendings have already succumbed to immense strain without any substantial cause. We have been instructed not to get within his line of sight.
This suggests that the child is aware of his powers.
-0772-
I just want to see what's outside. I want to go beyond the walls. I want to serve the Supreme Leader.
They will not allow me. They confine me here.
I hate them.
Very little is known about he circumstances of his creation, but subject 0772 displays several uncanny abilities beyond the spectrum of a natural human.
- He has vibrant red eyes, consistent with several subspecies that are gifted with the Force. Studies have suggested that his senses are augmented beyond the norm. He is able to sense things many others are not.
- His honed senses allow him to feel things in close proximity to his body, and react at hairpin speeds.
- Due to his abstract genetics, he is more agile naturally than many species.
- His endocrine, circulatory, and pulmonary systems are highly advanced. As such, he has a naturally immunity to most poisons. More potent things, such as Sith Alchemy or Yuuzhan Vong biots are excluded from this as a rule.
- His flesh is pale, but not snowy white like an Arkanian, This suggests a malformation in the pigment at some level, making him susceptible to sunlight and concentrated UVs.
- 0772 does not "hear" with his ears. He is deaf. Due to his profound Force sensitivity, he is able to perceive language as though naturally through the Force. When he is cut off from it, he cannot hear the voices of his allies, and relies on the ability to read lips or writing.
- Consequently, this is also an issue for when he is in combat, making him rely on what he can readily see to respond.
- 0772 is given to hostility. He has no struggle with making friends, but those who become his enemy beware.
