ARCHIVAL TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS – OBJECT-09 “THE MACHINE”
──────────────────────────────────────────────
Classification: Level 4 – Classified
Source: Cassette reels recovered from residence of Subject [CLARKE, Adrian]
Processing Division: Chronotemporal Studies Unit
Status: Partial transcription; anomalies noted.

[TAPE 1 – 00:02:14]
(low hiss, clatter of tools)
ADRIAN: “…can’t believe it hums like that. Not mechanical, not electrical. It’s almost—alive. If this is the last recording, tell them I—”
(abrupt static cut, silence for 8.4 seconds)

[TAPE 3 – 00:47:39]
(panting, wind interference)
ADRIAN: “…the Morlocks aren’t stories. Pale, quick in the dark. I—saw one drag something down the shaft. The Eloi don’t scream. They just… accept it.”

[TAPE 5 – 01:11:02]
(water dripping, distorted echo)
ADRIAN: “…thought I saw Mina. Not our Mina, but—another thread. Hollow, like someone pulled her voice across time. If D.A.P. finds this, cross-reference with the Dracula file.”

[TAPE 6 – 00:23:16]
(background: crickets, faint singing?)
ADRIAN: “…Appalachia, 1972. Don’t ask me how. Heard them—Dez, Jamie, the wolf in their lungs. It’s bleeding through. The machine doesn’t just move forward. It folds.”

[TAPE 7 – 00:59:44]
(labored breathing, metallic groan of machine startup)
ADRIAN: “…if I don’t come back, shut it down. Don’t let the cult near it. They’re already whispering the Word. They’ll ride this thing straight into Hell.”

[TAPE 9 – 01:32:11]
(faint hum rising to shriek, then sudden silence)
UNKNOWN VOICE: “…we are already here.”
(voice not matching Subject; timbre inconsistent with human range)

[TAPE 10 – END FRAGMENT]
(garbled, final seconds before tape disintegrates)
ADRIAN: “…no more years left. Only loops. Tell them—I saw myself—”
(tape warps; transcription unrecoverable)

Analyst Note:
Recovered reels exhibit bleed-through from unrelated anomalous events (see: DRAC-23, WLF-72, BAY-69). Suggests Subject’s traversal intersected with multiple registered anomalies. Causality integrity unknown. Recommend containment of remaining reels under Chronotemporal Black Site protocols.
