Briefing:
Client filed about "a rock that gets in your head." She says she keeps it in her backyard because she doesn't want to get near it. {system.volume<0>} Appologies for the lack of professionalism, but I'm fully ready to delete this log. There's no way this is real, they HAVE to be f*****g with us. {system.history.undo_last}

|Noise: Door opens|

<[REDACTED]> Are you here for the removal?
<Siobhan York> Of the rock? Yes, that's why I'm here.
<[REDACTED]> Perfect. Follow me to the back.

|Noise: Door closes|
|Noise: Footsteps (x2)|

<[REDACTED]> Thank you so much for coming, I honestly didn't think you'd take this seriously.
<York> Don't worry, we've had calls about worse.

|Noise: Gate opens|
|Noise: Gate closes|

|Noise: Footsteps stop (x2)|

<[REDACTED]> There it is. I wouldn't get to close. It won't hurt you physically, but it will tear you down.


13:02

<York> Is that so?
<[REDACTED]> Oh, yes. Trust me, it's worse than you think.
<York> So then how do you intend I pick it up?
<[REDACTED]> I figured you'd have some special device, no?
<York> I'm flattered, but we're pretty amatuer. Nothing too fancy for getting rid of these things.
<[REDACTED]> I see. Maybe I can find something for you in the shed. One moment.

<York> {Quietly} I mean, how bad could it be?

|Noise: Footsteps|
|Noise: Footsteps stop|

<York> Woah! She wasn't kidding.
<[REDACTED]> {Distant} I told you! It hurts!

|Noise: Footsteps|

<[REDACTED]> Here, I got this grabber thing, try it out.
<York> Yeah, that'll probably work. Jeez, that thing cuts deep. I guess we'll keep an eye on it, and, uh, thanks for letting us know.
<[REDACTED]> No worries, I wanted it gone anyawy. Again, I'm just glad you took this seriously.
<York> Of course. Well, uh, have a nice day!
<[REDACTED]> You too!

Log Commentary:
8/1/1995, 14:52
After listening back to the log, I've noticed the rock's insults were not picked up by the mic- I guess it was quite literally in my head (AKA telepathy). The rock has been classified as ENT-002, with an SR of 0500* and showing Tel and EmMa type behaviors.

*One could argue that ENT-002 deserves an SR of 0550, for it shows communicative ability. However, as it does not exhibit motor, logical, or perceptive abilities, I believe this entity does not meet the requirements for any sentience rating above level zero. Also, it may be likely that the entity is showing HaS type behaviors, not Tel type, for it only has a few programmed insults (which, in retrospect, only hurt when in the presence of ENT-002).
