CCC-27

Containment
CCC-27 is to be kept in its containment courtyard at Facility-16 (not that it can move). Personnel of Class-Epsilon and over are allowed to go to into its courtyard at breaktimes. If CCC-27 gets sadder that usual, onsite team of psychologists are to attend to CCC-27's needs.

Description
CCC-27 is a tree of unknown species, although similar to the Chestnut Oak (Quercus montana). CCC-27 is, most notably, sentient, capable of feeling emotion, pain, and empathy, just as a normal human would. CCC-27's personality is described as "Gentle, Kind, Lenient". They are able to speak, doing so in a deep, masculine tone, with an indescribable accent. CCC-27 is fully aware that they are a tree, seemingly jealous because they cannot move. CCC-27 is notably depressed, due to the fact that they cannot get any friends, as all people have been scared away by the talking of CCC-27. According to CCC-27, they are 325 years old, although this has not been confirmed. CCC-27 will respond to "Woody" and "Oakley". Acorns collected from CCC-27 are able to be grown into other instances of CCC-27, and will be referred to as CCC-27.1. CCC-27.1 gain sentience at the 6 month growth mark. A growing program has been begun to attempt to bring CCC-27 out of extinction. CCC-27's species has been determined, and is now referred to as Quercus sensibilis.

Interview Logs
Interviewer: Dr Connor - Interviewee: CCC-27 (Oakley)

Dr Connor: So, when were you, uh, born? Grown?

CCC-27: A long, long time ago. All of the others like me were cut down years ago, I think I am the last.

Dr Connor: I see. You are an oak tree?

CCC-27: Almost. I am similar to my non-speaking brethren. Don't question their feelings, they are as smart as me. Just they can't get the words out.

Dr Connor: You are saying all trees are sentient?

CCC-27: Yes. They can all talk to one-another, just your kind can't understand.
