TITLE
Using Hypnotism as a Means of Persuasion

ABSTRACT
Researchers trained a number of volunteers to perform tasks under hypnotism. Results were mixed.

METHODS
Over the course of two weeks, seven test subjects were exposed to hypnotizing elements -- patterns of light and sound. Each day the length of exposure was gradually increased -- ten minutes on Day One, two hours by the end of the second week.

Suggestion was not introduced until the third week of study. We found the combination of suggestion with the light and sound patterns produced outstanding results in our volunteers. When it was suggested that their knees itched, all seven subjects scratched!

Suggestion was gradually increased until the subject could successfully perform an hour's worth of tasks. We also discovered a volunteer's physical strength did not increase under hypnosis, as we had previously thought.

RESULTS
A slow, steady approach to hypnosis on human subjects seems the best method. All seven test subjects successfully completed their given tasks without hesitation or any memory of their actions.

Our strongest subject, referred to as D7, was given another urgent task immediately upon completion of his final test in Marseilles. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to properly train D7 before he left on his new mission -- we have heard nothing from him in the weeks since his departure. Hopes are high that he will return, and in the meantime we continue to train our six remaining "volunteers."
