Sometime after being promoted to a position in the front office but before I was brought into engineering I was presented a piece of paper that described a mind control experiment by an executive.
It only had a one paragraph description. The paper said that if it was found out from the experiment that I was a violent criminal, they would get to mind control me for the rest of my life. That is what made me think it was a joke. I remember asking if it was invasive at all, and was told no. I believe that made me feel comfortable enough to sign it in that moment. That, and I know I’ve never been violent in my life, so why not? Besides, it’s not exactly possible to control someone like a robot for the rest of their life, right?
Something weird happened right after I signed it though. I handed it back to the person who asked me to sign it, and immediately told him "Why don't you bring it back to me in a few years when it's not experimental?" I thought it odd I said that, because I had just signed it. I remember him giving me a weird look and walking away, and I sat down at my desk.
This took a very long time to come back to the forefront of my consciousness. It is now years later, and I believe something was put inside my body around that time. I have been fighting fatigue that has not gone away for years. I asked recently for any proof of this document and was told it did not exist in my personnel file.
I believe the pain I felt in my back, and the grogginess that came with it happened after this piece of paper was signed.
