White Notes

Found near lab:

This is the *fifth* time I have received complaints from my janitors that you science people leaving bunch of mess in the lab again. I know you guys are supposed to experiment with crazy stuff but would you guys please at least keep things clean?

Found under stairs up to medical, has two sketched lines forming an upward chevron:

Portal looked fine from the outside. Clean ring. Stable light. No shake in the floor. Inside was wrong. Depth didn't line up.

One of the techs said he heard his own voice come back through the comms. Half a second late. Saying things he didn't remember thinking.

I don't remember the flash. I remember the pressure, and then the pain. Woke up on the floor with blood in my eye and alarms screaming. Portal was gone. People weren't.

If command files this as equipment failure, they're lying or they didn't see what I saw.

Found behind Burger Thing:

Stabilizer wasn't faulty. Ran clean.

Portal adjusted on its own. Houston shouted to cut power, but the console lagged. Half a second. Maybe less. That half-second mattered. Cut power late. Something partially crossed.

Since then, tools feel wrong. Weight's off.

Machine isn't broken. It's learning.

Found in Shop Thing, behind counter. Has three sketched eyes in a column:
