We finally have a test subject! (For my fortress, that is).
She just arrived here at Minegrip today at the age of two years old, which is absolutely perfect. I'm going to be supplying her with 240 Urists of booze and 120 Urists of food to keep her fed and drunk for up to fifteen years, and most of the booze will be Dwarven Beer (her favourite).
What's great is that she's starting out with green physical attributes and no red ones, plus her mental attributes are complete carp. I predict that after she is released she will lack the ability to speak, and will destroy anything that isn't a dwarf. Most of what she likes is related to weaponry, as it's all flux, metal, bone, and spears, though she also likes alpacas for being small llama-like creatures. Unfortunately, she absolutely detests lizards and not elves, but I figure I can change that with conditioning.
She is quick to anger (good), often feels discouraged (military training'll fix that ^^), appreciates art and natural beauty (useless), rarely completes tasks due to distractions (no distractions in a turkey filled hell hole, so she'll be fine
), slouches when she's bored (meh), and cracks her knuckles when she's nervous (could be intimidating, so good).
I don't quite have all of the statues ready, and I've yet to set up a hospital, so I'm going to have to work on getting that done before sealing the room. Alternatively, I could just make a bunch of rock statues for the first subject.
I'll provide yearly updates for this project, or whenever I feel like doing so.
EDIT: I pastured three turkey hens in the chamber to help ensure their survival. Also, I decided to mostly use the statues of turkeys that my weaponsmith made. Fitting, no? ^^
