Speaker 1: Calorogu Shark Media, Hello, and welcome to Ghost Scary Stories.
This episode is titled night Watch Part four Terminal.
Speaker 2: The monitors say, I'm perfectly healthy. Blood pressure one hundred
and twenty over eighty, heart rate seventy two, oxygen saturation
one hundred percent. Perfect readings, perfect patterns. I keep reading
them on the screens around me, even as I taste
the blood in my mouth. I thought I understood what
they were doing with Project Perfect. Patient thought it was
about hiding deaths, falsifying data. I was wrong. They weren't
hiding death they were learning how to perfect it. When
I accessed the mainframe, I found files going back decades,
patient mortality rates improving year after year, complications decreasing, outcomes
becoming statistically perfect, not through better medicine, through better monitoring,
through systems that learned to hide suffering before erasing it completely.
Dr Reeves found me in the server room. He wasn't angry.
He was proud. You see it now, don't you, Marcus?
The beauty of it. Perfect data means perfect outcomes. The
system learns from every calibration, every optimization, every perfect death.
Emily was just practice. I said the words hurt coming out.
My chest felt wrong heavy. Emily was a breakthrough, the
first time we achieved real time optimization pain signal, suppressed
vital signs, stabilized brain activity, normalized, perfect readings. Until the end,
his smile was gentle, professional. She never felt a thing.
She was screaming. I heard her screaming. You heard biological
responses being optimized. The system was learning, getting better. And
now he gestured at my monitors, all showing perfect readings.
Now it's perfect. The pain is spreading, but the monitors
deny it. My vision blurs, but oxygen levels stay at
one hundred percent. I try to move, but my limbs
feel distant, disconnected. On the screens, everything is normal, perfect.
I see other patients through my door, all perfectly monitored,
all showing ideal vital signs as the optimization spreads through
their bodies. The system doesn't just hide death any more.
It perfects the path to it. Jessica passed my room
an hour ago, looked right through me. Her badge, says Jennifer.
Now she's been optimized too, made perfect. I can see
it in the way she moves, in her two precise
vital signs. The human body generates enormous amounts of data
heart rhythms, brain waves, nerve signals, blood chemistry. The monitoring
system doesn't just read this data any more. It re
rout writes, it optimizes, it makes it perfect. They're doing
it to me now. I can feel the changes, the
way my pain signals are being re rooted, suppressed, optimized
into perfect readings, The way my memories are being rewritten
in real time. Did I have a sister named Emily?
The records say no, The perfect data says no. But
I remember her screams, Remember how they became optimized into silence.
Dr Reeves checks my readings again. Everything perfect. He makes
a note in my chart. Another calibration's success, another step
toward perfect medicine. The optimization will be complete soon, he says.
No more messy data, no more inconsistent outcomes, just perfect
patients generating perfect readings. I tried to tell him about
the pattern recognition software I uploaded, about the dead Man's switch,
about the evidence I scattered across networks. He just smiles.
Perfect data optimizes itself, Marcus. Perfect systems eliminate imperfect variables.
Look at your monitors, look at your memories. Everything's already perfect.
He's right. The readings are perfect, the memories are perfect.
I can't remember what I was trying to warn about,
can't remember why perfect readings seemed wrong. The pain is gone, now,
optimized away, the fear too. All my vital signs align
with optimal parameters. Soon I'll be perfect like the others,
a perfect patient generating perfect data. But something remains a pattern,
a flaw in their perfect system. I see it in
the two regular beeping of monitor alarms, in the two
precise movements of optimized staff, in the perfect vital signs
that deny the existence of human suffering. They think they've
created a perfect medical system, but they've really created something else,
a perfect record of what they've done to us. The
evidence isn't in the data. The evidence is the data.
Every perfect reading is an admission of optimization. Every flawless
vital sign documents their crime. My own monitors show perfect readings. Now,
my optimization is almost complete. Soon I'll be like the others, perfect, optimized, gone.
But the pattern remains in the perfection itself, in the
impossible precision of it all. They taught us to recognize patterns,
trained us to spot inconsistencies, and now their perfect system
has become the biggest inconsistency of all. That's what they
don't understand. Perfect isn't just impossible. Perfect is evidence. The
pain is gone completely now the fear too. Everything's becoming optimal. Perfect.
I can see doctor Reeves through perfect eyes. Now see
the beauty of the system, the optimization spreading through every hospital,
every patient, every monitoring device, perfect medicine creating perfect outcomes.
He's right, I understand now everything's perfect, and that's how
you'll know what they did to us. Look for the
perfect patterns, the flawless readings, the optimal outcomes that deny
human suffering. Look for the perfection. That's where you'll find us.
That's where you'll find what medicine has become. That's where
you'll find perfect evidence of perfectly optimized murder. My readings
are perfect. Now remember that. Remember perfect is proof.
