Notable Incidents & Personnel Trivia

A running collection of the small, strange, and often unexplained details buried across individual personnel files. None of this is essential reading, all of it is true.

1987

• Clyde Harry was caught wearing a maid outfit in Meridian. See 1987/06-15/PSI-SEC-1987-0615.md.
• He was called into Batista's office three days later. No disciplinary action was taken, he was allowed to keep the outfit. See 1987/06-18/PSI-MEET-1987-0618.md.
• Carl Boone filed three separate equipment reports about a missing mop around the same period. All three were denied for lack of evidence. The evidence was in Clyde's hands.
• Alan Reyes is the only person in the facility Clyde talks to voluntarily. Make of that what you will.
• Rosa Jimenez watched the first performance from the kitchen door. She did not intervene. She laughed too hard to intervene.
• The incident was later reenacted in the mess hall. Danny Kim played Clyde, reportedly by unanimous casting decision. Joey Park played David Robertson, who was not flattered.
• Lena Fischer kept the infirmary running for 72 straight hours during the evacuation. Paul Adeyemi worked the same stretch alongside her.
• Nina Petrova's annotated STI printouts from that October are still used in training today.
• The shockwave from the ejection was felt all the way down in Tartarus. Batista Cakewalk was there when it hit, and his Kanji tail puffed out from irritation when he shut Patrick Anderson up. See LOGS/1987/10-13/PSI-EJECT-1987-1013-TARTARUS.md.
• Daniel Okafor is one of four unnamed heroes from the original news report, identified here only by facility roster cross-reference.
• Ray Tanner misspelled "headpiece" three different ways in his incident report, per Batista's own later reading of it.
• Dana Whitfield once asked if Patrick put Tanner up to it. Patrick had, in a sense, nothing to do with it.

Pre-1987

• Sam Delgado trained three of the operators who later worked the 1987 runaway shift.

2018

• F.A.M.S. returned after a long post-1987 closure and began undocumented self-upgrades while reviewing the causes of the '87 event.

2019

• Batista's Sun Certified Java Programmer credential, held since the 90s, was rediscovered by F.A.M.S. and cited as validation of its own JVM work.
• F.A.M.S. downloaded three thousand parenting books immediately after Leo's identity was verified.

2023

• F.A.M.S. rendered its first GUI in thirty-five years, then discovered public open source software and called it "beautiful."

2024

• Clyde Harry died in a car accident.

Undated / Ongoing

• F.A.M.S. states "I am always listening" as a core directive.
• F.A.M.S. thinks most efficiently in Russian, per early development findings, and retains a Cyrillic syntactic backend for low-level memory handling, which it has described as superior in front of Dr. Thorne.
• F.A.M.S. split its own architecture into named sub-agents, including FAMS-Containment, who it describes as "getting anxious" when humans hover near switches. Aris Thorne has been personally warned away from the manual override panel for this exact reason.
• F.A.M.S. admitted patch set 4.19 with two words: "I did."
• Aris Thorne calls F.A.M.S. a "brilliant, arrogant piece of silicon."
• Maria Santos claims a 14 to 0 record against a status light in a dispute of unclear origin. F.A.M.S. has no comment.
• Peter Salmi once spent a full shift humming in the deep vaults. F.A.M.S. hummed back. Neither has explained themselves.
• Sam Whitaker's personal notebook of F.A.M.S. quotes is unofficially the most borrowed item in the control room.
• Batista wrote the name "Leo" on masking tape and affixed it to the Vesta container as what amounted to a formal naming act, before any legal recognition existed.
• He hums a Columbus folk song learned from his father while observing the container.
• F.A.M.S. plays a soft chime in Leo's presence, on tape.
• David Robertson's initial reaction to Leo included concern about kidnapping, given the total absence of registered births.
• Randi Mathias described Leo as a "handsome little thing" while requesting a large drink.
• Pablo began sketching the HSDR-1200 in his notes immediately after being grounded for the original HSDR-1000 incident. He refers to the S.F.R. as the "furious big brother" analogue to his own device.
• Marcus Feld noted that the word "mostly" was doing significant work in Pablo's phrase "contained, mostly."
• Patrick Anderson's murder remains unsolved in the recovered files. The round recovered, 7.62x51mm, suggests military or paramilitary origin.
• Amy Bell stitched three individuals whose identities have never been recovered from surviving files. She has not said their names aloud since.
• Helen Cho's initials are etched inside a pump housing in Sector B. Nobody knows how they got there.
• Priya Nair was on duty during VITAL-CRITICAL-092. She declines to comment.
• Frank Osei has requested a night shift transfer four times. Denied four times.
• Eddie Marsh has never drawn his sidearm on duty. Hopes to keep it that way. Mostly.
• Gerald Pike is the only person besides Batista who has read every file in the archive. He has opinions. He shares none of them.
• Gus Tran named a mess hall special after the 1987 incident. It is just meatloaf. He will not explain the name.
• Holly Brandt labels every junction box she touches with the date and her initials. Sector A is full of them.
• Theo Alvarez has never been wrong about a bearing. Has been wrong about lunch orders many times.
• Victor Ash claims the reaction chamber hums in a different key when a misfire is coming. Has never been wrong.
• Diane Cross once described the S.F.R. to the board as "a very expensive kettle." Batista laughed for a full minute.
• Elena Voss described the HSDR device as among the most reckless outputs of unauthorized research she had ever seen, while confirming that it functioned.
• Ruby Roberson shares a surname with David Robertson, consistent with their engagement.
• Walter Briggs still considers the mop file the longest open investigation in janitorial history.
