Journal of Captured subject, designated 'CAG-MES 2021'
The first official example of a human specimen infected by CAG-2020, Subject 1 appeared obsessed with depicting CAG-2020, reporting that they were directly communicating with the being. This is the only concrete evidence that CAG-2020 exists outside of the minds of 'Messengers'. The circumstances of their eventual escape required significant intervention from an unknown third party and information unavailable to subject 1.
In the leadup to their escape, they were provided with pens and paper by an unidentified orderly. Below are the notes and markings from subject 1 in the 24 hour period between receiving the materials and the subject's escape from captivity.
Our first attempt to study those exposed to CAG-2020. The following documents a highly escalated infection of 'Cagnification', paired with notes from the facility psychiatrist.
Asked to depict simple personal emotions, Subject 01 begins with a series of simple but ambiguous expressions. Despite being asked to center the drawings on their own feelings, the images are rapidly completed with features reminiscent of CAG-2020
As a final resort I advised that the room of Subject 01 was searched for any other signs of expression linked to our work together. This appears to be a key for a written form of communication centred around features typical to depictions of CAG-2020, discovered in the cell of Subject 01. Are these drawings (most notably session 14) a form of written communication?

Entry 2: Infected subject surveillance
Soon after escaping the facility, Subject 1, despite facing considerable risk of exposure and re-capture, released footage documenting their improbable escape. The video appears to be their attempt to explain the nature of CAG-2020. The video appears to degenerate to a stream of consciousness from a variety of sources. It is implied that this is how 'Cagney' uses messengers to communicate and adopt new personas.
