PROJECT : LUCID / Clinical Trial Participant Recruitment

Supervising Department : Research Analysis Team

Project : PROJECT : LUCID

To Directorate Agents

The Research and Development Division is recruiting participants for the new clinical trial [PROJECT : LUCID] as follows.
This project is part of a study to verify the effectiveness of next-generation invisible realm response technology. Selected participants will engage in the trial according to the established procedures.

Participant Benefits

Special allowances and performance bonuses will be provided to those who participate in this experiment.
Upon completion of all clinical procedures, a special paid leave of up to 14 days will be granted, and participation records will be reflected as bonus points in performance evaluations.
Furthermore, the Directorate will fully cover medical and psychological treatment designated by the Directorate for any sequelae that may occur during the project.

1. Project Overview

• This project is a safe clinical trial designed to prevent physical or material harm.
• The trial aims to confirm whether participants can freely move and safely survive within the invisible realm after taking the new pill [Lucid-dream] developed by the Research and Development Division.
• Participants must remember and report in detail the survival rules, environmental characteristics, risk factors, and anomalies encountered within the realm to the archivist upon their return.
• The submitted reports will be used as data for the future creation of Directorate standard survival manuals and improvement of realm response systems.

2. Preferred Qualifications

• Individuals with excellent adaptability to new environments.
• Individuals capable of maintaining appropriate acting and a poker face.
• Individuals who can remain calm even in extreme fear situations.

3. Participant Obligations

• Participants must not arbitrarily conceal or omit survival rules and anomalies observed during the trial.
• Participants must cooperate with post-trial interviews and record-keeping by investigators.
• All information related to the project is prohibited from external disclosure in accordance with Directorate security regulations.
• Upon return to reality, participants must diligently undergo designated psychological counseling and mental stabilization treatment.

Important Notes

This project will be conducted according to procedures that have undergone sufficient safety verification.
However, due to the nature of the invisible realm, some participants may experience temporary disorientation, temporal perception errors, or a sense of derealization. These symptoms will mostly resolve naturally after the trial.
Separate pre-training and safety briefings will be provided before participation.

Anyone applying for the new project participant recruitment?

Author: AnonymousViews 183 · Comments 4

It's probably developed by the Head of the Research Analysis Team again, right? Honestly, there's no reason not to apply based on the announcement alone. It's much better than being immediately deployed into the realm and facing death or contamination...
Has anyone applied this time?

I'm going to try it.
I know someone in the R&D team, and they said the budget allocated there is insane. Seems like the performance bonus will be quite substantial?

But the side effects are no joke... Last time someone took this pill, they threw up and went insane... Some people couldn't even wake up and went missing.

2. Project Objective
To explore the invisible domain without risk of subject death, and to identify the rules of the domain, escape methods, and ultimately, methods to neutralize the domain itself.

3. New Drug Overview

Lucid Dream (Codename: LCN-089-S)

Appearance: A smooth, elongated purple capsule. According to Senior Researcher Seo Ian, the project lead, it has been confirmed that the drug allows for the designation of the entry domain and the stat allocation of physical abilities upon entry. Experiments are being conducted with this in mind.

4. Entry Report

1st Entry

Entry Domain: Luminar Hotel Stats: Strength 4 / Agility 4 / Intelligence 8 / Spirit 4 Subject: Park ■■, Research Analysis Team Entered a domain where most rules are understood to ensure safety. Confirmed that subjects can return without side effects by confirming the escape method and then exiting. Notes: Woke up in a hotel room bed. The front desk staff persistently asked for the subject's name during checkout. It is recommended not to reveal one's name in dreams for future entries.

2nd Entry

Entry Domain: Cheongram High School Stats: Strength 5 / Agility 6 / Intelligence 6 / Spirit 6 Subject: Kim Arang, Deputy Head of Exploration Team Entry conducted with the cooperation of the Exploration Team. Dream inhabitants showed strong interest in Pure Candy, but it was not provided. Confirmed that death in the dream returns the subject to the initial awakening location, not to reality. Footnote: It is deemed advisable not to hand over personal belongings to dream inhabitants in the future. The subject should seek an escape method before their mental strength is depleted.

3rd Entry

Entry Domain: Cheongram High School (Same domain as 2nd entry, with modified item conditions) Stats: Strength 4 / Agility 5 / Intelligence 7 / Spirit 6 Subject: ■■■, Research Analysis Team Entered with Pure Candy and a small voice recorder. A Dream Break (forced return) was initiated, but as a side effect, mental strength rapidly decreased, leading to mental confusion and contamination symptoms. Pure Candy consumed in the dream was confirmed to disappear in reality. The voice recorder contained an unknown audio recording, which is pending analysis. Footnote: The voice recorder repeatedly captured multiple individuals whispering "This isn't a dream." It is presumed that the subject's statement "This is a dream" in the dream led to pursuit by dream inhabitants. The subject will be closely monitored and required to visit the psychological counseling room daily.

4th Entry

Entry Domain: Not Specified Stats: Not Specified Subject: Seo ■■, Research Analysis Team Experiment to determine what happens when the domain and abilities are not specified upon entry. Footnote: Woke up in the infirmary of Funnyland. It was revealed that entry occurs in an arbitrary zone.

Senior Researcher, do not enter arbitrarily.

5th Entry

Entry Domain: Cheongram High School Stats: Strength 7 / Agility 5 / Intelligence 3 / Spirit 5 Subject: ■seon■, Research Analysis Team Failed to return from the dream for 2 days. Three days later, the subject's body disappeared from the infirmary. No signs of external intrusion were found. Footnote: It is presumed that certain actions can lead to being completely trapped in the dream. Request the Exploration Team to re-enter the high school and confirm the presence and status of the disappeared subject.

6th Entry

Entry Domain: Funnyland Stats: Strength 5 / Agility 8 / Intelligence 4 / Spirit 3 Subject: ■■■, Research Analysis Team Observed a phenomenon where the number of dream inhabitants in the queue for a ride increased in real-time. The subject avoided the ride and focused on observation, returning without side effects. Footnote: Further investigation is needed to determine if the increase in queue is a reaction to a specific trigger. Verify in subsequent entries whether riding itself constitutes a rule violation.

7th Entry

Entry Domain: Somang Psychiatric Hospital Stats: Strength 8 / Agility 5 / Intelligence 4 / Spirit 3 Subject: ■■, Exploration Team Upon entry, a continuous decrease in mental strength was observed. A Dream Break was initiated earlier than the scheduled return time, and no physical abnormalities were found. Footnote: Classified as a domain with high mental exertion. Entry by subjects with low spirit stats is discouraged.

DOCUMENT CONTAMINATION DETECTED CONTAMINATED
