FILE CODE: F-X112.7R / CLASS: [INDETERMINATE - NULL-TIER POTENTIAL]
SUBJECT NAME: Mal’Rayvyn [Alias: “The Starved Choir”]
STATUS: Recovered from containment. No further testing authorized.
RETRIEVAL ATTEMPTS: 6 (All Failed) 

INITIAL INTAKE NOTES

RESEARCHER: Dr. Kael Vorenith

DATE: REDACTED

"When they brought her in, she remained silent. Nothing. Not even a sob. She looked around the walls as if she were already learning escape routes. However, it was the absence that accompanied her silence that disturbed me the most. A sort of silence that has become void. Like something lurking beneath the skin that was once a person."

"She has little scar tissue all over her. Some were self-harming. There were not serious injuries when they arrived. Unknown physiology that may have divine or anti-divine origins is up of several signatures with recursive cores. Encourage promo monitoring and restraint in an echo-tier dampening field."

TECHNICIAN: Ehlra Voss

ROLE: Behavior Analyst

"Unless sedated, the subject does not sleep. She still holds onto the same homemade weapon, a sharpened bone from her own forearm. When we left her alone for nine minutes, she carved it. Since then, we have updated all of the rotation schedules."

"She would not eat. As if nourishment were incompatible with her current form, not in disobedience. A nutritional infusion was tried. Her body converted the chemical into vapor within hours after her veins rejected it. Her body generates rejection."

HEAD RESEARCHER: Dr. Naevyss Thorn, Anatomical Pathway Division.

"We made an error. We believed that her body could be dissected. We learned that she is the one who opens. We went dark as soon as the scalpel made contact with her sternum. We're all twenty-seven. No time elapsed. However, our reflections were inverted in every mirror when we woke up."

"The subject stayed put, unaltered. We have yet to discover what we actually cut open."

DEPARTMENT: Mindfall Cognitive Interference Division (CID)

REVIEW OFFICER: Xelthani Drayr

"The subject has started muttering in a language that we are unable to translate. When we play back our sound-capture equipment, they corrodes. Even though they have never interacted with her personally, at least two interns now suffer from auditory hallucinations. Her tongue has been classified as memetic-core unstable."

"The whispers 'mothered' one researcher, according to the researcher. Another was 'dismantled.' They were talking about the same audio.

RECOVERED FROM: Security Feed B-Nest Sector

[Mal'Rayvyn can be seen curled up in the corner of her containment room on the recording. Her face is calm, but her body is shaking. Before each twitch, there is a minor glitch in the camera. No sound is playing on the feed itself, however, there is a faint lullaby that may be ancient.]

Only a single frame of a word may be seen flickering in the digital noise:

"She never forgot the sky.'

ISSUED BY: Overseer Q'Rahn (Void Ethics Council)

STATUS: Vetoes by Inner Circle Intervention

NOTES:

"It is not appropriate to neutralize Mal'Rayvyn. She must not be purified. It is a threshold rather than a threat because she is a product of Zypharienne."

"She is to teach us. Even if we are killed."

"I believe she had a dream once. And that dream was used as a map by someone. We went with it. And there was only a girl when we got to the conclusion. She was speaking in her own voice."
