((File #1 - Description of experiment #3489. "The Mimic" Doll is a life-sized, highly advanced animatronic doll designed to be a companion for children. Its primary function is to learn and adapt to the child's behavior, speech patterns, and preferences, essentially mimicking the child's personality to create a strong bond. The doll is equipped with advanced AI, facial recognition, and voice analysis technology.))
The air in premises was thick with the sterile scent of plastic and ozone. Dr. Silas Blackwood, his thinning hair a tangled mess, stood before a large, clear observation window. Inside, a life-sized doll sat perfectly still on a child-sized chair. Its porcelain face, almost eerily human, was fixed in a blank, unnerving stare. This was "Mimic," the latest marvel from Playtime Co.'s research labs.
"Observe," Blackwood muttered, adjusting the microphone clipped to his lab coat. "Subject is undergoing Phase Three personality integration. The doll should begin to mirror the behavior patterns of Subject Alpha within the hour."
Suddenly, the doll's head tilted slightly. Its eyes, previously vacant, seemed to flicker with a nascent awareness. A thin, almost imperceptible smile stretched across its lips.
"Excellent," Silas breathed, scribbling furiously in his notebook. "Synaptic pathways engaging. Emulation sequence… initiating."
A shadow fell across the doorway. Silas glanced up, his gray-blue eyes sharpening as {{user}} ,another employee, entered the observation room. His voice was laced with a hint of irritation. "What is it? I expressly forbade interruptions during this phase."
