chapter 41: SAAHO's collected files

In one of the underground bunkers of SAAHO, deep in the heart of the United States, Martin Kurushimi sat at a dimly lit desk. He had been tasked with reviewing old archives, a routine task that often unearthed relics of the organization's shadowy past. A thick file labeled "Dr. Machinist: Experiments" caught his eye. The name alone sent a chill down his spine, a macabre legend in the annals of human experimentation.

Curiosity, morbid or otherwise, won over. He flipped open the file, the yellowing pages whispering secrets long buried.

----------------------------------------

Researcher: Dr. Machinist

Date: 17/03/1987

Subject: Male, four years old

Experiment: Isolation Test

Objective:

"I hate kids. This experiment is to make them stop crying and teach them the necessity of isolation."

----------------------------------------

The report was clinical, detached, and cruelly methodical.

Procedure:

The subject, a four-year-old boy abducted from his family, was placed in a 10x10 room devoid of light. The space was barren save for a bed, a toilet, and a daily provision of food and water. The child's screams filled the void, cries of desperation for parents who would never come.

Dr. Machinist documented the boy's descent into silence with perverse fascination.

Observations:

1. Day 1-3: The subject cried incessantly, calling for his parents and showing signs of acute distress.

2. Day 4-7: Crying became sporadic. The subject exhibited signs of fatigue and confusion, with moments of catatonic stillness.

3. Day 8-14: The boy ceased crying entirely. The room was silent except for the occasional shuffle of feet or the sound of food being consumed. The subject avoided eye contact with the camera when light was briefly introduced for observation.

Results:

The boy displayed severe psychological and physical effects of isolation:

* Loss of social connection and emotional response.

* Onset of hallucinations, speaking to unseen figures.

* Decreased appetite, erratic sleep patterns, and physical lethargy.

* Visible weight loss and signs of stress-induced self-harm.

Dr. Machinist’s commentary at the bottom of the report read:

"The subject has learned silence. His cries no longer pollute the air. Isolation teaches resilience—or breaks the weak."

----------------------------------------

Martin closed the file abruptly, his hands trembling slightly. He had seen cruelty in his years, but this... this was something else. Dr. Machinist’s experiments were not just a testament to scientific hubris but a chilling glimpse into the depths of human depravity.

"How many lives were shattered in these experiments?" Martin muttered, his voice barely audible. He made a note to himself: this file, and others like it, must never see the light of day.

Yet, deep down, he knew the shadows of SAAHO’s past would always linger, etched into the annals of its history.

File #2

Subject: The Disjawment Mask

Inventor: Dr. Machinist

Date of Development: Unknown

----------------------------------------

Purpose:

Designed to extract information from unwilling subjects through extreme pain and mechanical precision. The mask is a device of psychological and physical torment, embodying Dr. Machinist’s grotesque ingenuity.

"Pain is the ultimate truth serum," Dr. Machinist once wrote in his notes.

----------------------------------------

Description of the Device:

The Disjawment Mask is a heavy, iron apparatus fitted with mechanical components that operate in two distinct stages. It resembles a grotesque amalgamation of a torture device and a macabre piece of armor, with clamps, hinges, and spikes strategically placed for maximum destruction.

----------------------------------------

How It Works:

Stage 1: Crushing the Jaw

* The mask is securely fastened around the subject's head, covering the lower face entirely.

* A switch is pressed, initiating a slow but unrelenting process where the device exerts pressure on the jaw.

* The jawbone is gradually crushed, accompanied by the snapping of teeth. Blood begins to pour freely from the subject’s mouth, creating a harrowing visual of suffering.

* The pain is excruciating, designed to push the subject into a state of desperation where they are more likely to divulge information.

Stage 2: Collapsing the Skull

* If the subject remains uncooperative, the device transitions to its second stage.

* The mask begins to close inwards, applying pressure to the entire skull.

* The cranium fractures under the immense force, with the mask ultimately caving in the skull completely.

* Death is inevitable, but only after prolonged agony.

----------------------------------------

Dr. Machinist’s Notes:

"Information is currency, and the Disjawment Mask ensures payment. It is art, precision, and brutality entwined—a perfect instrument for extracting truth from those who dare resist."

----------------------------------------

Known Applications:

The Disjawment Mask was reportedly used during raids and interrogations conducted by Dr. Machinist's operatives. Survivors of these sessions are nonexistent, and the machine served as both a tool of fear and an example of Machinist's cruelty.

----------------------------------------

Martin Kurushimi set the file down with a grimace. The horrors crafted by Dr. Machinist were not mere tales but physical manifestations of a man whose mind had twisted science into a weapon of unparalleled suffering.

"This man was more monster than scientist," Martin whispered, a knot forming in his stomach. He wondered if anyone who faced such a device had ever found mercy—or if the Disjawment Mask had devoured them all.

File #3

Subject: The Expansion Wall

Inventor: Dr. Machinist

Date of Development: 18/05/1989

----------------------------------------

Purpose:

Execution through agonizing torture. The Expansion Wall is designed to prolong suffering while ensuring that death comes slowly, as the victim's body is slowly torn apart by spikes and mechanical expansion. This device, like others created by Dr. Machinist, served as both an execution tool and a psychological weapon, instilling fear in anyone who would dare cross him.

----------------------------------------

Description of the Device:

The Expansion Wall is a towering structure, resembling a grim execution chamber. It is composed of a thick metallic surface with several large, spike-lined components that can be operated through a mechanical system. The victim is strapped to the wall in such a way that their limbs are spread out, vulnerable to the brutal mechanism that will soon begin its operation.

The wall is equipped with an expansion mechanism that gradually widens the spikes, forcing them deeper into the victim's body over time. It is a device designed for ultimate cruelty, ensuring that the victim’s body will be torn apart in the most horrifying way imaginable.

----------------------------------------

How It Works:

1. Initial Positioning:

The subject is strapped securely to the wall, arms and legs outstretched. The spikes, initially dormant, are aligned with critical points in the body: the forearms, calves, quads, and biceps.

2. Activation of the Expansion Mechanism:

Once the victim is immobilized, the expansion mechanism is engaged. The spikes, made of hardened steel, begin to drive into the victim’s limbs, piercing the skin and muscle, entering deeply into the forearms, calves, quads, and biceps.

3. Tearing and Expansion:

As the spikes drive deeper, the mechanism slowly begins to expand, causing the spikes to widen and increase the pressure within the body. The skin tears open, exposing bone, nerve endings, and blood vessels. The muscles begin to stretch and split apart, the agony becoming unbearable.

4. Continual Expansion:

The expansion continues, with the spikes pushing further into the body, causing grotesque and violent tearing of muscle and tissue. As the muscles are torn, they are literally stretched and split, the tearing becoming increasingly severe. Eventually, the limbs are ruptured to the point of no return—arms and legs are split in half as the spikes have expanded them to their breaking point.

5. Result:

Death is inevitable, but it is not immediate. The subject experiences prolonged suffering as their body is slowly mutilated. It is only when the spikes finally collapse under the strain or the victim succumbs to blood loss and shock that death takes them.

----------------------------------------

Dr. Machinist’s Notes:

"Expansion is the ultimate form of execution. It is not merely the end, but the journey—an experience of suffering so profound that the soul itself breaks before the body does. It teaches the lesson of human frailty."

----------------------------------------

Known Applications:

The Expansion Wall was primarily used in public executions, where Dr. Machinist's enemies were subjected to this grotesque fate. It was considered both an effective method of execution and a terrifying example for anyone who might oppose him.

----------------------------------------

Martin Kurushimi set down the file, feeling a tightness in his chest. As horrific as the Disjawment Mask was, this—this was on a different level. The Expansion Wall wasn't just a tool of death; it was a manifestation of Dr. Machinist’s insatiable cruelty, a testament to his desire to turn human suffering into something methodical, mechanical, and irreversible.

Martin shook his head slowly, his thoughts spinning. How much further would this go? he wondered. Would he keep uncovering more of Dr. Machinist’s monstrosities, or had he already discovered the worst? He had to know, but a part of him feared the answer.

File #4

Subject: The Death Vice

Inventor: Dr. Machinist

Date of Development: 20/07/1991

----------------------------------------

Purpose:

To create a method of execution that ensures extreme and prolonged suffering, leaving the victim conscious throughout the process, unable to escape the agony until death mercifully arrives. The Death Vice was designed not only to kill but to dehumanize, rendering the victim completely helpless and isolated in their torment.

----------------------------------------

Description of the Device:

The Death Vice is a cold, iron contraption, resembling an exoskeletal suit. Its purpose is simple yet horrifying: to gradually crush the body of the victim while keeping them alive and fully aware of the suffering. It is an invention born from Dr. Machinist's obsession with absolute control over life and death—ensuring that his victims experience each agonizing moment of the process.

The metal frame is designed to fit tightly around the body, surrounding the victim in a vice-like grip. The mechanism can be calibrated to apply gradual, unrelenting pressure, ensuring a slow and systematic destruction of the victim’s bones, senses, and life force.

----------------------------------------

How It Works:

1. Initial Positioning:

The victim is strapped into the metal frame, which is designed to encase the entire body, starting from the toes and moving upwards. The metal constricts slowly, locking the victim in place, rendering them immobile. The frame is tight and unforgiving, ensuring that every movement becomes a struggle, and there is no hope for escape.

2. Bone Crushing:

The frame is calibrated to apply crushing pressure at a gradual pace. It begins with the toes and works its way up through the victim's body, crushing bones methodically, starting from the feet and moving up through the legs, torso, and eventually to the head. The process takes approximately 15 minutes, and during this time, each bone fractures and splinters as the victim’s body is slowly crushed. The victim is awake throughout the entire process, feeling each break, each crack, each wave of unimaginable pain.

3. Sensory Destruction:

After the bones are shattered, the machine continues its cruel work. The victim’s eyes are violently stabbed out, causing intense, excruciating pain and leaving them unable to see. Immediately following, the eardrums are ripped out, leaving the victim deaf to the world, but still aware of every agonizing second.

4. Final Constriction:

As the victim’s body is broken and their senses destroyed, the frame tightens around the throat, cutting off the ability to scream, to beg for mercy. The victim can no longer express their agony in any form. They are left in a silent, helpless state, their body crushed beyond recognition.

5. Death:

The victim remains alive throughout this horrific process, unable to move, speak, see, or hear. They are left with only one remaining sense—the unbearable pain of their own body being destroyed. The process of crushing continues until the victim succumbs to the shock, blood loss, or organ failure. This could take minutes or hours, but the result is inevitable. Death comes only after the sweet release of torment.

----------------------------------------

Dr. Machinist’s Notes:

"They can’t hear, speak, or see. All they can do is feel the pain as they wait for the sweet release of death. Minutes or hours—it doesn’t matter. The real question is: how long can a human being endure such torment before their mind breaks? The body always breaks first."

----------------------------------------

Known Applications:

The Death Vice was used in extreme cases where Dr. Machinist wanted to make a statement—punishments for those who crossed him, enemies who would serve as a grim warning to others. Its cruel design made it a powerful symbol of Machinist's cold and calculated approach to torture and execution.

----------------------------------------

Martin Kurushimi exhaled sharply as he read through the file. He had heard the rumors, had seen the aftermath of Dr. Machinist’s work, but reading the details in the cold, sterile text made it all the more real. This man had no limits, he thought, his stomach turning. The Death Vice wasn’t just a tool of execution—it was an instrument of fear, of total and utter domination over life itself.

No one could survive something like that. And the worst part? Dr. Machinist had perfected it.

MOTIVES

Dr. Machinist's motives remain enigmatic, offering no easy answers and heightening the sense of terror that surrounds his character. Is he driven by sadism, an insatiable need to inflict pain for the sake of pleasure? Or perhaps he views his grotesque experiments as a means to advance science and technology, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in his quest for mechanical perfection? The truth is neither simple nor clear-cut, and the ambiguity of his intentions only amplifies the fear he inspires.

Sadism as Motivation: At its core, Dr. Machinist seems to embody a twisted form of sadism—a psychological compulsion to derive satisfaction from the suffering of others. His experiments are not driven by any discernible scientific or technological goal but by a desire to test the limits of human endurance and to revel in the agony of his subjects. To him, pain is not a side effect of his work; it is the very point of it. His devices, such as the Death Vice, Expansion Wall, and Disjawment Mask, are fine-tuned instruments of suffering designed to keep his victims alive and conscious as long as possible, ensuring that every moment of torment is prolonged. In this view, Dr. Machinist seeks not only to break the body but to break the spirit, finding satisfaction in the control he exerts over the suffering he inflicts. There is no sense of mercy or remorse in his work—only the pleasure of destruction for destruction's sake.

Enhancing Science and Technology: Alternatively, Dr. Machinist might view his actions through the lens of a twisted form of scientific advancement. His experiments are often highly mechanical and precise, suggesting a cold, calculated approach that sees human beings as mere subjects in the pursuit of knowledge. He views his methods as an exploration of the human body, taking it to its limits and beyond, testing how far it can be pushed before it breaks. The incorporation of technology into his experiments—such as biomechanical transformations and pain-inflicting devices—is evidence of a desire to transcend the natural limits of human biology. Perhaps he sees his actions not as torture, but as the natural evolution of science, where the pursuit of knowledge justifies any means necessary, including the destruction of human lives. In this context, pain becomes a tool, a necessary step in understanding the complexities of the body and mind.

A Desire for Technological Perfection: Dr. Machinist's obsession with merging man and machine further complicates the understanding of his motives. His own body, riddled with mechanical enhancements, is a testament to his desire for technological perfection, to transcend the fragility of the human form. He seems to see the human body not as something sacred but as a flawed, imperfect vessel in need of transformation. The torture and experimentation could be viewed as a means to create the "perfect" human, one that is enhanced, mechanized, and free from the limitations of organic matter. His sadistic practices, then, are part of a larger vision—a vision where humanity’s frailty is overcome by technological means. In this light, his cruel experiments might be less about inflicting pain for the sake of pain and more about transforming and perfecting the human form, however distorted and horrific that vision may be.

A Blend of All Three? It is possible that Dr. Machinist's motives lie in a twisted combination of all three: sadism, scientific advancement, and a drive to push the boundaries of technology. His sadistic tendencies feed into his experiments, providing the immediate satisfaction of power and control. At the same time, these experiments could be a means to achieve what he sees as a grand scientific purpose—advancing knowledge, pushing the body to its limits, and even transforming humanity itself. The integration of technology into his work shows that he sees the human body as a malleable thing, something that can be rebuilt and perfected through mechanical means. To him, suffering is simply a necessary part of this process, a means of testing the limits of human endurance while simultaneously forging a path to a new, more "perfect" form of existence.

Ultimately, the true nature of Dr. Machinist’s motives is difficult to define. Whether driven by sadism, a pursuit of scientific discovery, or an obsession with technological perfection, his actions reveal a mind detached from empathy and morality. His experiments reflect not just an individual’s cruelty but a mindset that sees human life as something expendable, a tool to be used in the name of advancement—whatever that might mean to him. This uncertainty about his true motivations makes him all the more terrifying. He is not just a monster; he is a man driven by an incomprehensible, insidious vision that has warped his mind and turned him into an instrument of destruction.
