I also write an ongoing story about Experiment 29912 (Jingles). You can read it on AO3.
Dr. Ethan Miller has been tasked with reconstructing the lost memories of SAW-01-#29912. The creature disappeared during a mission and reappeared weeks later with no memory of its return. How it returned in the first place is unknown and is the subject of the investigation.
The corporation strongly warns him both of the physical threat the creature might pose and against forming an emotional bond with it. However, when Miller encounters it for the first time, the experiment seems to be more frightened than dangerous.
What begins as a routine psychological assessment soon develops into something far more complex. During the interview, Miller begins to wonder whether the organisation’s handling of this subject might not be preventing precisely the insights that everyone is seeking.
