| − | Subject Elwin McGhee, subsequently referred to as Subject E, previously exhibited the ability to travel through a fourth spatial dimension to an alternate plane. Following their arrival into this reality, they appear to have lost this ability. Previous tests have revealed that they still have minor influence over their resonance in the fourth spatial plane, resulting in unusual visual phenomena (“Blurring”) and periods of highly increased speed (“Baserunning”). While Subject E did undergo a form of dimensional travel upon being swept away in a way of Immateria, they described the qualia of the experience as “similar but ultimately distinct”, leaving them stranded “Elsewhere”. <br />

| − | Metalloid “X” was obtained from a sample freely given by one Freemium Seraph. The substance is largely metallic in character but displays an unusual mutability when exposed to resonant frequencies. Furthermore, it appears to amplify frequencies exposed to it.<br />

| |
| − | Research partner Yusef Fenestrate, an expert in fundamental frequencies, harmonics and their practical applications, was unfortunately absent for the testing phase due to being similarly relocated to “Elsewhere” at the time of experimentation. However, their research and notes were heavily referenced through the research phase.

| − | Testing appears to have involved targeting the sample of metalloid “X” with an array of PsychoAcoustic systems borrowed from the Tokyo Fitness Centre, each emitting an isolated frequency initially measured by Fenestrate during a “Baserunning” event <ref>Fenestrate, Y et al. 20XX ‘Hey Batter Batter Ring: On the Harmonics of Partial Extradimensional Shunting’, ''Tokyo Fitness Centre, Research Department'', pp. 20-25</ref>.

| − | Lacking the specific expertise of Fenestrate, the experiment ended catastrophically with the sample of metalloid “X” reverberating the frequency outward, enveloping the entire research lab. Strongbody, McGhee and Seraph were caught in the affected radius. None of the personnel present reported loss of consciousness or sense of self. According to Strongbody (20XX, pp.145) in the addendum, “initial tests reveal inconsistencies in the genetic make-up of the affected subjects”. Strongbody further posits that his running theory is that “the extradimensional oscillation failed to shunt Subject “E” to their home dimension and instead shunted something back into ours. However, additional testing is required to confirm this hypothesis”.
