Subject name: Sia
Researcher name: Okay, you know the drill already
Date: July 4, 2020
Test Purpose: Testing one of Ana’s projects, a way of mirroring an AI into a biological body.
Hypothesis: I will remain conscious (as conscious as an AI can be) during the entire test.
Description: Recently, Ana’s been working with another researcher on a way to create biological bodies AIs can copy their consciousness into. One of my friends, Minella, offered a DNA sample, and I’ll be testing the body. I’m writing this part before the experiment, having just entered this body. It’s… well, it’s strange, being able to feel everything. To sense everything. This body is pretty nice, honestly. Even though it’s only five feet tall, it looks like my normal body was combined with a dragon’s snout, with a fuse on my tail. How fitting for July 4! However, it’s probably not going to fit with the other reports. Oh, well. I’ll pick this report back up after lighting the fuse.
	So… that was one hell of a rush. “Probably not going to fit with the others,” my ass! As soon as I lit the fuse, it felt like I was inhaling more than I should have, and couldn’t control it. And then came a familiar pressure again. I don’t know much about firework dragons, and I wasn’t sure if they were supposed to inflate, but to be honest, I didn’t care. It felt good to inflate with artificial nerves, but now that I was in a real body feeling the real thing, it was exhilarating. As my belly rounded out again, I also felt a growing heat inside my body, as I snapped back to reality and realized what was going to happen.
	Slowly, the heat my body was generating grew and grew, and I had no way to stop it. Putting out the fuse did nothing, so I decided to just keep watching for as long as possible. It was taking no time at all, though there had to be at least two minutes left. I set a hand on my belly as I watched, and a jolt of excitement swept throughout my body. How did it feel so good? With such feelings washing over me, it was only a matter of time before my legs gave out from the pleasure and I fell to my knees, shifting to a seated position. I felt my stomach brushing against the ground with every bit of swelling, and it felt like pure heaven. However, I must have lost track of time, because as the pressure continued growing more intense, I heard a loud explosion and instantly blacked out.
	I woke up in a panic, only to find that my snout was still that of a dragon. I must have reformed while I was out, and I breathed a sigh of relief that this form wouldn’t be going anywhere. I checked the security camera, and watched my belly grow slowly. I could hear my own moans of excitement as I grew more and more. (Honestly, watching it from an outsider’s perspective makes you think about how much noise you really made.) When my belly hit the size of the rest of my body, around five feet in diameter, I stopped growing before finally, I burst into a shower of red sparks, with yellow ones showering down slowly. When the smoke faded, nothing was left as my body began to magically reform. The explosion was beautiful, but the time it took to reach that point was so short! Only four minutes! But then again, it was one of the best four minutes in my entire life. ...I’m grabbing the lighter again, since if I can’t take it slow, I might as well do it again.
	(Note: I wrote this test before my second try at doing this. I probably did this… around five times?)
Test Results: Failure, but also success! I was out during the explosion, but that’s probably a quirk of most firework dragons. What matters is that I felt everything.
