When you begin to understand that "defective participants" may be the only ones who are truly aware of the
A report from a space observer:
analysis of the destabilization of the "Otherworld" project and the reaction of the P. object to the disclosure of the truth
Za drzwiami głos.
Brzmi jak człowiek obok mnie.
Który jest prawdziwy?
Start of Recording [Object P + Observer]
The professor tried to stay calm.
Apparently, he needed it badly. People often do this in borderline situations — they put their facial expressions in order, straighten their backs, speak more slowly, as if control over the tone of voice could stop reality from falling apart.
But I saw more.
His hands were tense.
Breathing is slightly shallower.
The pupils are dilated more than before.
He was afraid.
And he had every right to do so.
Critical information
"Defective copy".
This term was clearly stuck in his head.
People react badly when someone reduces them to a function, a number, or a system error. Especially those who have tried to be orderly, logical, and predictable all their lives.
Professor P. has just found out that he is a problem for someone.
Not because he made a mistake.
Because he began to feel.
Observer Analysis
The observer spoke calmly, but the longer I listened to him, the more I had the impression that his emotions were only a well-reproduced imitation.
He didn't look like a man who was in fear.
He looked like someone who had learned to describe him correctly.
This is a huge difference.
The professor must have begun to notice it too, because more and more often he looked at him in the way he had looked at me before when he had observed me in the square.
Carefully.
Analytically.
Suspiciously.
It was interesting.
The roles began to be reversed.
Hypothesis six: the project does not examine compliance
Until now, we assumed that the experiment tested the possibility of understanding between different worlds.
But something stopped agreeing with me.
If the project was really supposed to study communication, then why did the participants capable of an authentic relationship turn out to be the most problematic?
Why did they want to lock us up?
And then I understood something very disturbing.
Perhaps the project was never intended to lead to an agreement.
Perhaps from the beginning it was only about control.
Reaction of object P
The professor sat still, but his mind was working intensely.
"They don't want us to understand each other," he said suddenly.
I looked at him.
"Yes.
"They just want to see when we start to be afraid of each other.
The room fell silent.
The observer looked at us very carefully.
And then for the first time I noticed something that was not there before.
Uncertainty.
Systemic anomaly
The light flickered.
Briefly, but clearly.
Then a second time.
The observer turned his head towards the door.
"We don't have much time," he said.
The professor immediately tensed.
"What's going on?"
The observer was silent for a moment.
As if he was listening to something we hadn't heard yet.
And then he said very quietly:
"They already know that you have started asking the wrong questions.
Point of destabilization
A few seconds later, we heard a sound.
Metallic.
Deaf.
Repetitive.
Steps.
Not one.
A lot.
They were getting closer.
The professor looked at me.
I looked at the Observer.
And for the first time since the beginning of our meeting, he looked like he was really scared.
Final note
The observer quickly walked to the wall of the room and put his hand to it.
A portion of the surface has moved apart, revealing a narrow passage leading downwards.
Darkness.
"If you want to survive, you have to trust me now," he said.
The professor looked at me questioningly.
And that's when we heard a voice on the other side of the door.
Calm.
Mechanical.
Unnaturally familiar.
"Professor P. Please move away from Object F #2203. Immediately.
The professor turned pale.
Because the vote belonged...
to himself.
