All subjects scored within two sigma on standard mental health questionnaires at the time of the employment recruitment process.  All subjects had been employed for a minimum of 48 months at the time of the experiment.  No subjects were rated above 2 as possible subversive elements at the time of the experiment.  Five of the thirty-five were used as input into the device; for each session, five of the remaining thirty were randomly selected to serve as observers of the device.  At no point did any of the five used as input function as observers of the device.  At no point did any of the thirty used as observers of the device function as input for the device.  No observer was immersed more than once.  All observations should be considered to be as base reality except as noted.  At no point after 96 hours prior to the announcement of the experiment and before the termination of the experiment were any subjects permitted to communicate with one another.

1. First subject: All observers reported that some objects and people were colored much more vibrantly, while other objects and people were more “drab”.  For no object was there observer consensus on which objects were colored and which were drab; the most agreement was four agreeing that the device was colored, and four (one different from the previously mentioned group of four) agreeing that a stairway outside the facility was colored.  Two observers reported colored objects “flickering” unpleasantly; three observers of which two were in the group of the previous clause reported being unable to look at drab objects for extended periods.
2. Second subject: All observers reported that their vision was reduced to greyscale.  Two subjects reported unspecified malodors.  The three others reported unspecified sounds.
3. Third subject: Four observers reported no visual input.  The remaining observer reported seeing “fire”, but seemed unable to clarify what this means, and quite confused about what they saw in general.  All observers reported a taste, which three observers (including the one who saw “fire”) identified as that of vanilla.
4. Fourth subject: All observers reported human faces as indistinct, blurred, covered in static, or otherwise unidentifiable as such.  Three observers reported human voices as unidentifiable as such (they reported hearing voices as “loud” (the observer refused elaboration), “gunshots”, and “a radio tuned just a bit off from an oldies station”, individually); the other two reported hearing voices as a barely understandable low growl.  One of the observers who reported a low growl also reported that there was a second sun.
5. Fifth subject: All observers reported human voices as being an octave higher than normal.  All observers seemed far more agitated than this sole difference would seem to suggest, but all denied any other change.
