These notes are the property of Dr. Tempest Ghouligrab, taken at the GHOST Complex's Grand Experiment. If found, do not read and return them to me immediately!

SUBJECT: "King Blocky Boo"
PRIORITY: Critical
This so-called "king" has breached Gadd's containment measures, and is now forcing us into some sort of murderous ritual. Whether this is the result of incompetence on Gadd's part or was planned from the beginning is yet to be determined. For my money, it could go either way! [NOTE: Remember to redact the previous sentence assuming Gadd survives this ordeal. The last thing I need is a defamation lawsuit.] Bears visual similarities to the Block Boo Diddly but lacks any of its distinctive behaviors, which may suggest a previously undocumented offshoot or merely superficial resemblance. Similarly has a heavy resemblance to the subject self-identified as "King Boo", but any specific relation is undetermined.
Observation suggests most, if not all, of the subject's power is held in his crown. No data on whether he possesses any latent powers of his own. He does seem to hold tremendous sway over the valley following the Dark Moon's destruction. Containment of this subject is currently top priority to ensure safely resuming the Grand Experiment. Do not pursue any other objectives!
SUBJECT: "Tanner"
PRIORITY: High
Just as I suspected, one of Gadd's ghost lackeys has turned on us at the first given opportunity. I cannot trust the others, naturally, but this one immediately showing his true colors indicates an active danger. Luckily, he appears to be a standard Glum Reaper specimen which is already well-documented by myself and other peers. Proceed with caution regardless in case of further trickery. Capture is recommended as soon as possible insofar as it does not interfere with the containment of his superior.
SUBJECT: "Porticia Knightley"
PRIORITY: Moderate
Despite a humanoid form, subject displays numerous visual similarities to what I have dubbed in my writing as a Feline Phantasm, also referred to among peers and the public as "Polterkitty". As previously noted, I object vehemently to this term as it presents too saccharine of an image for this specter. This may suggest that the Feline Phantasm possesses greater shapeshifting capabilities than previously documented, or the subject may be some sort of distant relative.
Notably, refuses to publicly align herself with either the "king" or the rest of us at this time, with a stated preference to keep her options open. Observe closely for both scientific and safety considerations. Priority level may need to be upgraded.
SUBJECT: "Jackson B. Humorus"
PRIORITY: Moderate
A peculiar specimen of unknown origin, self-identified as undead. Does not resemble any creatures I have previously documented. Face is mask-like in appearance, but displays emotive properties. While purely speculative, I remain open to the possibility that the mask itself is a distinctive entity exhibiting control over an unidentified humanoid.
Has, at the very least, publicly resisted the "king" so far. Capture remains desirable for further study once the current threats are dealt with.
SUBJECTS: "Boo #1,268" and "Specture Striker"
PRIORITY: Low
What appears to be a standard Boo Diddly specimen, exhibiting no signs of the characteristic shyness consistent with type B classification. Refers to himself with an identification number, suggesting prior escape from another researcher. Very insistent on a shared past with myself which I know to be categorically false. I believe this to be intentional deception while Prince Winter suspects false memories implanted by Specture Striker's hexed coffin. Fortunately, if this is the case he has dismissed my denial as being age-related, avoiding the problem of an unstable ghost.
Forms a seemingly inseparable pair with a Dark Bones. Once again appears to be a standard specimen, displaying visible wear and tear and personalized attire. Drags a coffin around with him, which remains a source of mystery.
Both have opposed the "king", and as potential scientific data from their capture is minimal, I am assigning them a low priority for the time being. They will have to remain under close observation, however.
SUBJECT: "Vigil"
PRIORITY: Low
Unlike Tanner, this one has at least not immediately betrayed us at first chance. Appears to be a standard Hobgoblin specimen, though much like Specture Striker, carries a coffin of unknown purpose and refuses to divulge its contents. Whether this will be relevant later is to be seen. For now, I have greater concerns elsewhere.
SUBJECT: "Mona"
PRIORITY: Minimal
Was a ghost, but then wasn't a ghost? Anecdotal data suggests this has happened before under the Dark Moon's influence. This scenario seems best classified under the standard resurrections, revivals, and resuscitations chapter and I do not believe the subject to pose any threat to the Grand Experiment and its participants at this time.
Ultimate Emergency Plan
You head to the Ice Lake. You find that there's a second hole in the lake now, slightly larger than the first, and some splashes of water around the second hole. There's also the discarded bones and guts of a fish by the first hole.
You investigate her body more closely. It looks like her neck is broken along with the head injury, and she looks both sooty and frozen. Her gloves are covered in some kind of congealed, stinking slime.
You examine Mona's head injury a bit closer. It appears to be a relatively uneven impact with a deeper, oblong dent on one side. It's hard to tell what kind of object would make this kind of bruise, but you can guess she was probably knocked out immediately on impact. She's missing her helmet, and it's not amongst her belongings scattered below the Terminal.
You examine the safe in the Foyer. It's embedded into a wall covered in paintings, one of which has fallen down and smashed, depicting the Dark Moon. Ironic. The safe itself has a combination lock and a very small keyhole. The keyhole is oddly scuffed and rusted. The combination lock appears to require 3 digits.
