// The following is a collection of archived data on the Broken Mirror, in order of date.
// This file was submitted by DR BALEWICK of the R&D department at Magellan Facilities
11:18 AM | A routine Epsilon cascade test was prepared, using Collider B. At the time of the event, two hundred personnel were currently within the facility. Twenty of these personnel were overseeing the test whilst situated behind a shielded glass wall. Safety measures were thought to be working, but an oversight with the circuit breaker functionality seems to have occurred.
11:20 AM | Collider B was engaged. System logs show an minor uptick in power supply around fifty milliseconds after the Collider was engaged. As of then, nothing had occurred to hint at a possible malfunction.
11:21 AM | Upon activation, Collider B experienced a power surge. The circuit breakers designed to prevent this very occurrence did not trip. We don't have any clear system logs or audio-visual indicators of what actually transpired next, but eyewitness statements from the personnel nearby the experiment have painted an intriguing — if doubtfully accurate - picture of the event.
11:22 AM | Power supply to the facility is cut off entirely. Collider B detonates, instantly killing the twenty staff members present as the glass wall caves in. Epsilon particle production may have increased a hundred-thousand fold in those few milliseconds, completely penetrating and saturating Magellan Facilities and surrounding areas during the ensuing explosion. All employees collectively experience extreme migraines and a strong metallic taste in the mouth. Multiple injuries sustained, as the sudden darkness and disorientation caused many staff to injuries themselves by accident.
11:30 AM | Power is restored, staff are evacuated from the premises.
Conclusion: No lasting damage done to the facility. High Epsilon count, but otherwise safe. Explosion site is off limits, prominent anomalies with objects and debris somehow 'intersecting' with their surroundings can be seen. Timekeeping devices are inconsistent with those outside the site. Future experimentation will be undertaken.

- DR (MUFFLED) | Is this thing working?
- [[MUFFLED TAPPING]]
- DR | Oh well, not a big deal if it's not.
- [[PAPERS SHUFFLING]]
- DR | So, according to your files here, you were nearby ground zero during the power surge yesterday? I know you've come here today to discuss those events with me. Remember, this is a private space in which you should feel okay to be vulnerable.
- AMY | Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
- [[SQUEAKING OF CHAIR]]
- DR | Don't get too close to the microphone, it's a little sensitive.
- AMY (LOUD) | For the record, HR forced me to come here and threatened to dock my pay for the next week if I didn't. I'm here now. Happy?
- AMY (MUTTER) | Bureaucratic fucks.
- DR | Let's unpack that for a bit, shall we? To my understanding, you're not really here because you want to be, right?
- [[SCOFFING]]
- AMY | You could say that, yeah. Look, just because I was nearby when those poor bastards got vaporized doesn't mean I have to come here. Plus my head is still killing me. Got any aspirin?
- [[DRAWER ROLLS OPEN]]
- DR | I have a couple tablets. But before I give you any, I want you to tell me what happened yesterday. We can finish up more quickly, if that's what you want.
- [[LOUD SIGH]]
- AMY | Extortion, much?
- DR | No, just a suggestion.
- [[TAPPING OF DESK | LONG PAUSE]]
- AMY | I work on the same floor as Collider B. Couple corridors down, in the Epsilon containment labs. We've been making good progress recently. It was late morning I think, maybe around 11? We finally allocated some mirrors from R&D, shit we'd been after for ages. Wanted to see whether they would help with containment. I was alone at the time, the others were out for a coffee break. The mirrors were - I mean are - proving promising for containment purposes. The intercom had already announced the experiment a good hour earlier, so I was ready for any sort of power fluctuation that usually happens.
- DR | I guess none of you were prepared for the explosion though, were you?
- AMY | No… I guess not.
- [[TAPPING OF DESK]]
- AMY | I just…
- AMY | I swear…
- AMY | When the collider detonated, my head felt like it was cracked open like an egg. Everything just pouring out like a spilt bottle of water. The power went down, but in those split seconds before it all went dark, when I glanced at one of the mirrors…
- DR | Are you okay?
- AMY | Yeah, just a little frazzled.
- DR | What did you see?
- AMY | Well, myself of course. The thing is though, I can't really describe how it felt.
- AMY | It felt like…
- AMY | It felt like it wasn't me.
[[SILENCE FOR FOUR MINUTES AND TEN SECONDS]]
- AMY | What's my last name?

We finally allocated some mirrors from R&D, shit we'd been after for ages. Wanted to see whether they would help with containment. I was alone at the time, the others were out for a coffee break.

UNKNOWN UNPACKING ERROR
A series of evaluations on facility staff and employees have drawn concerning results. Every member that I have seen displays symptoms of selective amnesia, forgetting key memories such as where they live, how old they are, even their own names.
£ ©舐اŮ舐© on employees have interesting conclusions. ╟舐╟»舐 has manifestations of selective amnesia, forgetting key memories such as their names, places of residence, and age.
I believe this is a result of the collective migraines experienced during the incident. The exact cause behind these strange reactions is still unknown, but I am currently working with the psychological team to solve this.
There is evidence to indicate ‚? the widespread headaches that occurred after the explosion. The exact reason behind this is still up in the air, but I am working to •Ř§Ů½
I'm endorsing a leave of work for certain employees who seem to be more affected than others. (SUGGESTION DENIED)
