Coffin Notes

Stephen's Coffin Notes
Usage of the coffin can resurrect subject by sacrificing a subject of an analogous design by impaling them on the spikes jutting out of the coffin. Anything affecting the state of the sacrificed subject (Henceforth known as Subject A) can affect the resurrected subject (Henceforth referred to as subject B) as seen in a rat that has been sedated being sacrificed, causing the sedation to carry over. Subject A appears to be alive in every sense, with no altered vital signs. Subject A most likely does not retain memories and experiences it had in life as seen by a trained maze rat being unable to recall it's path through the maze. Curiously Subject A does seem to gain some memories and experiences from Subject B as shown by a previously untrained rat being able to navigate a maze with some success after a trained rat was chosen for Subject B. Theorized that this is less a resurrection and more a transfer of consciousness as supported by a Rat being sacrificed to bring back a Glo Infested Subject and appearing to be confused and lacking Glo instincts. The Coffin also appears to have a regeneration effect on the corpses used, as seen when a body missing limbs was able to create embryotic surrogates to get around. This includes cases where the head was missing or even only the internal organs are present(In this case the organs created a strange simulacrum of a rat made of flesh). In addition it can allow life to be hosted in strange forms such as a rat heart growing the means to move on it's own power almost akin to a spider. It cannot however create new connections such as allowing a new head stitched on to be controlled properly.

Testing Log:
Test 1:
Subject A: A Pre-killed Rat
Subject B: An Ordinary Sedated Rat
Subject A is placed in the coffin and Subject B is impaled on the spikes. Subject A is animated and shows very little response to anything

Test 2:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat Trained To Run Mazes
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The process is repeated, Subject A appears much more alert than previous Subject, carryover of effects confirmed. When attempting to complete the maze it has no ability to complete the maze

Test 3:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat
Subject B: A Rat trained to run mazes
The process is repeated, Subject A is put in the maze and is able to complete the maze with minor difficulty.

Test 4:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat with Amputated Legs
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The Process is repeated. The stumps produce embryonic replacements for the limbs lost. Study required to see if limbs will mature.

Test 5:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat with an Amputated Head
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The Process is repeated. The rat produces an artificial head made of flesh with little resemblance to a rat. Eyes resembled a fly rather than rat. Study required to see if new head will mature

Test 6:
Subject A: A Rat Heart
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The Heart is placed within the coffin and the rat is impaled as usual. Instead of growing a rat around the heart the heart grew veins and muscle around itself, moving like a spider. Observation required to see if it can sustain itself or starve.

Test 7:
Subject A: Organs of a Deceased Rat minus Heart stitched together
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The organs are placed in the coffin and the rat is impaled. The organs pull themselves together and create a strange fleshy rat

Test 8:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat minus internal organs
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The empty shell of a rat is placed in the coffin and the rat is impaled. Subject A grows new organs in poor areas of the body. Rat is killed again for dissection.

Test 9:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat from Test 8
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The process is repeated and Subject A is brought back as usual

Test 10:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat with an extra head stitched on
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
The process is repeated and Subject A animates, although no connection to the new head is made.

Test 11:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat Infected With The Glo Virus
Process is repeated, Subject A is animated with no adverse effects

Test 12:
Subject A: A Deceased Rat Infected With The Glo Virus
Subject B: An Ordinary Rat
Process is repeated. Subject A appears confused and when confronted with another rat shows no aggression or need to feed. Possible inability to use the GLO Virus.

Final Hypothesis:
The Coffin is a device with the capability to transfer one's consciousness to a body rather than resurrect an individual. It grants a regeneration effect to the corpse in the form of embryonic replacements. The possibilities this opens up for damaged bodies or fatal diagnosis are endless when combined with possible cloning technology. My Recommendation is that DNA Samples of all healthy agents are to be taken so in the possibility that they are adversely affected by an anomaly to the point where function is impossible but the mind is still intact they could be transferred to a new clone body, or transferred to a well kept donor body.
