Database Entry 1371

No new breakthroughs today. It has been very quiet lately. I remember a period of time when I thought I heard distant screams throughout the building. I used to hide a lot back then. Afterward was worse with all the groaning and scratching noises. It started to smell funny too. Now it's nice and quiet - it's been that way for a long time. Sometimes I miss the screaming. At least then I knew other people were around.

Another day of work, more silence. I feel like my research is going nowhere. It's been so long since I've received updates from my coworkers, that I oftentimes forget what I'm supposed to be working on. I had to find our original memo from the boss in order to set things straight. Speaking of the boss, I haven't seen, or rather heard, him in awhile. He used to always pop in with some crazy new scheme cooked up that kept us busy. It's strange that we haven't heard anything new.

Sometimes when I go looking for some of my colleagues' notes, I come across things that disturb me. Dark splotches on the walls, weird stains on the floor, scraps that look uncomfortably like torn labcoats... I prefer to stay in my own lab that is nice and clean.

Something happened today that I can't really explain. I wandered into the bathroom today for the first time in ages, and when I passed by the mirror something caught my attention. I have no reflection. When did this happen? I used to have a reflection. Having a reflection is normal. I also realized something else that I can't explain. I haven't been to the bathroom in a long time - since I used to hear all of the moaning. I used to go to the bathroom every day, although I can't remember what for anymore. I immediately returned to the lab and can't decide if I should go back or not.

So, after a frustrating hour of attempting to continue my work and realizing I just cannot remember what I was originally researching, I decided to return to the bathroom again. Something about it kept bothering me, almost as if I was forgetting something. I wandered past the empty stalls, noticing that many were either missing doors or had the doors dangling from the hinges.
When I got to one of the stalls toward the end of the room, I realized why I didn't go in the bathroom anymore. Why I couldn't see my reflection. Why it was always silent.
I went back to check my previous database entries, and realized that the ones before 1300 were all erased. And I remembered why. The last time I remembered, I deleted them all. And promptly forgot again. That's why it was so hard to remember my research. I had deleted all the entries about the G-virus, about the Grunnies, about the other Techs dying and turning into Grombies. About waking up and seeing my body scattered across that bathroom stall.
Database entries are all automatically archived, and I was able to pull up the archived copies. As I read through them all, not cognisant of the passing of time since time no longer mattered, I shuddered as all my buried memories came rushing back. I began to notice that my lab wasn't as clean as I had tricked myself into believing, that it also had scattered papers, dark stains, and odd smells.
I began to wonder, why am I still here? What am I supposed to do? There was obviously no point in still doing research. Gambino must have given up on us, if he was even still alive, and none of the other G-Corp Techs appeared to have survived. Not even I survived. And it's not like I could do anything about what happened - we brought it upon ourselves by pushing scientific research too far.
I have decided this will be my last database entry - for now. I'm going to try to see if I can find any other souls of LabTechs wandering around, or what has happened in the outside world since the invasion. Maybe one day I will return with new findings.
