Blobskin's Macro/Micro Flash Fics

Research Log 39 / Day 135 / November 26

The specimens have proven remarkably difficult to pacify. Discounting the initial panic, the populace has made 11 "major" attempts to escape and innumerable "minor" attempts to escape. Despite various promises and many lucrative incentives, the humans stubbornly refused to be controlled. Rebellion has been a near constant complication.

Remarkably, it has now been 37 days without a major incident. The secret was electricity. Humans rely on it to run their communities and this researcher thought herself exceedingly kind in providing this modest commodity to make their new surroundings feel more welcoming. The hardest lesson I have had to learn during this study is that in the quest for knowledge one must sometimes be cold. It brings me no pleasure, but now whenever the humans try to escape I take away their electricity.

Since implementing this negative reinforcement major escape attempts have ceased and the specimens are proving much more cooperative. When the threat of severe consequences hangs over them ~~like me~~ the human drive to resist can be subdued. However, I feel it is still too early to draw this conclusion. It is entirely possible they are simply taking their time for the next big escape attempt.
