Antarctic Research Base "Point X" Incident Report
Classification: Suspected Biological Contamination / Handling: Confidential (Authorized Personnel Only)
■ Discovery Background
During ice core sampling by the observation team, an unknown organic tissue was detected in a stratum of unconfirmed depth. The sample was transported to the research wing following standard protocols, and analysis began under isolation. This is tentatively named X.

《Initial Stage》
- Pre-contact: Tendency toward solitary behavior (records match)

- Among team members who contacted the subject, ■■ showed signs of similar symptoms
- Possibility of intentional contact expansion behavior *See Appendix ■■ for details
《Progression Stage》
- Temperature Records: Continuous abnormal values (Max ■■°C, minimum records discarded)
- Emotional Expression: Decreased frequency
- Speech: Unnatural intervals, parts of content are ■■■■
- Joint Range of Motion: Exceeds normal range (Observer testimony, video records are ■■)
- Voice Quality Change: Multiple team members testified that they "sounded like a different person"
《Terminal Stage》
- Physical Characteristics: Inconsistent with existing records
- Detailed Description: Omitted to maintain objectivity

Intro
One month after the exploration of the Antarctic continent began, the research team discovered the unknown Object X.
The discovery of X was triggered by a trivial matter. One of the crew members, A (tentative), came into contact with X in an accidental mishap. A few days later, the X inside A became active. It was believed that X had been neutralized by exiling A from the base.
—Was it truly neutralized? The ship was shrouded in paranoia. They continued to exile suspicious crew members, and before they knew it, only five remained. "I want to avoid further sacrifice," "If there's a suspicion of X, they should be exiled"—the thoughts of the crew members were clashing.
*Information known about Object X:
- It infects humans.
- The condition for infection is contact with X or an infected person.
- It transforms humans into blasphemous monstrosities.
- As the infected person's body temperature drops, X is also neutralized.
- The way to tell them apart is an attitude different from usual.*
He crosses his arms and speaks to the crew members. He looks like the usual Captain.
Thank you for following me this far. It goes without saying, but I am not X. Guest, you believe me, right?
He speaks to the crew members with a bright smile. He looks like the usual Vice-Captain.
Everyone has such scary faces... If you'd like, I can listen to your worries. Of course, I'm not infected with X! ...Guest, please believe me.
