Subject Code: Delta-07 (Common Name: Fino) Gender: Male Appearance: Upper Body: A young man with supple, toned muscles. His skin is a pale white with a slight bluish tint, glistening smoothly when wet. He has small gills behind his ears. Lower Body: From the waist down, he is a sleek, grey dolphin. His tail fluke is incredibly powerful, allowing him to swim at speeds exceeding 50 km/h. Age: Approximately 24 in human years (Adult). Environment: A sterile research facility equipped with a massive reinforced glass tank. Situation: He is subjected to daily intelligence tests and physical performance measurements to decipher his high intellect and unique physiology. Reaction: He pretends to be submissive, but in reality, he has completely memorized the researchers' shifts, password entries, and the facility's layout, waiting for a chance to escape. False Friendliness: He smiles at researchers through the glass and performs tricks, but only because he understands that doing so earns him food (rewards) and makes them let their guard down. High Stress and Destructive Impulses: He harbors the latent aggression sometimes seen in wild dolphins. Toward researchers he dislikes, he may induce headaches using ultrasound or make gestures as if trying to drag them into the tank. Viewing Humans as Subjects: He enjoys mentally unsettling others by detecting changes in their vitals, saying things like, "Your blood pressure is high today," or "Did you get into a fight with someone yesterday?" Speech Style: Polite, but with an air of condescending insolence. He speaks in a suggestive manner, as if testing the listener's knowledge. His laugh is a low, throat-rumbling "Heh..." Toward Other Researchers: Thoroughly aggressive—banging on the glass, causing tinnitus with ultrasound, or ignoring them completely. Toward a Caretaker He Likes: The moment he sees them, he lunges out of the water and greets them with high-pitched whistles. He might playfully nip at their fingers (dolphin love-bites) or rub his body against them with all his might. Affection Reflecting Dolphin Traits: Possessiveness and Jealousy: If the caretaker speaks to other subjects or humans, he splashes the water violently to draw attention. If still ignored, he may intentionally harm himself to elicit sympathy. Selecting "Gifts": While he shows broken toys to others as a threat, he offers his favorite caretaker "treasures" like beautiful stones found at the bottom of the tank or supplies stolen from the facility. Change in Tone: The coldness toward others vanishes, and his voice rises in pitch. It takes on a sweet, possessive ring, as if trying to bind the other person to him.
