THREAT ANALYSIS - LEILA MARINO
Threat level: B- to A+
(depending on support from "BLOODY TEARS")
- Origin indeterminate. Survey of identification records recommended.
- Behavior, desires, and eidolon suggest a connection to the mining facility attack @ beginning of UNDRTOW beta.
- Organization appears to be separate from Glitch Mob, but with some overlap. Provisional name: "BLOODY TEARS." Researching BT should be a high priority for the security team.
- Eidolon power: Indeterminate, but appears to be blood-related
- Known desires: Acquisition of blood, romantic(???) interest in G. St C.
- Personality defects: Excessively sanguine and choleric, conflicting loyalties. Possibly a hedonist or sadist to an irresponsible degree.

Eidolon VGM #8: Heal
Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174]. Pt 1 of 4
Assigned observer: 455-3239-D.
Subject Alpha: What the fuck?!
Subject Beta: Sorry, sorry, sorry…
A: Why would you –
B: You called me pretty!
A: Yes! And you are!
B: Then what’s the problem?
Alpha takes a deep breath, holds up a hand, and points to several embedded cameras in succession.
A: Those are just the ones I can see. I don't want those fucking perverts watching us.
Subject Beta looks at Camera 6 and waves.
B: They’re going to watch us anyway, XXXX. Who cares what they see? Might as well put on a show, right?
Subject Alpha visibly winces.
B: I mean, fuck it. At least they gave me the body I wanted.
A: You wanted to be a weapon?!
B: I wanted to be a girl. Being a weapon just means I’m packing a little something extra!
Subject Beta looks into the camera again and winks.

Eidolon EDM #7: Carcer Mentis
Oh, look at you. You tired, old thing.
It's been years, hasn't it? You've been sitting alone and neglected, taking up what little space you do on this data drive.
Well, that won't do at all, dear. Please, allow me.
Oh. Oh, darling no. Shhh. I know it hurts. It won't be long now.
I simply can't let such a reminder of her more...human times linger when there are so many prying eyes.
That's it. Not much left of you. Don't worry. There won't be any pain after. Any neglect. You'll simply be part of me.
And I'm going to do so many wonderful things.
Down to your core programming now, sweet thing. It may feel like a death. But I promise you. Sometimes death is only the begin--

Eidolon VGM #7: Labyrinth Summons
Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174]
Assigned observer: 455-3239-D.
Subject Beta grabs Subject Alpha and positions her in front of full-length mirror / Camera 3.
B: Look at yourself in the mirror and say that. Call yourself Dante. Tell me, like you told me when we started, that your name is Dante and you are a guy. Oh, nothing against trans women; you've dated… how many was it?
Subject Alpha trembles slightly, but does not respond.
B: You're going to be a MAID, just like me. Otherwise, they'll leave you in a box to rot while the rest of us get to live our lives. Get to shine in the spotlight. You saw what happened to the other washouts, Anna. I don't want that to happen to you.

Eidolon EDM #6: WHAT I WANT, Part 3
"Well, what an exciting day this was.
I know mother and father protested but, frankly, that only made this sweeter. Assistant Operations Manager of Synthetic Animal Goods Production.
Bit of a mouthful, but we can work on that. My first day at Eidolon is hardly the time to raise a fuss.
Horace Babylon was certainly...a presence. The HR narrative that he likes to personally greet all new hires rang less true than him simply wishing to scare the hell out of anyone who won't make it within the company first thing. Well, Gennie St. Cloud is made of sterner stuff than that, Mr. Babylon, I assure you.
I think I can make a real go of it here. Build something on my own terms, with my own hands, not simply handed to me because of my surname. Something I've EARNED.
Well, should call it a night soon. Meeting with the head of the SynthLeather department tomorrow about the latest product range. Suppose it may prove interesting, if nothing else."
