Psycho 1960

This transmission begins with a financial crime. A female human absconds with currency belonging to her employer and travels to a remote lodging facility. The crime itself is simple and emotionally driven, triggered by romantic frustration. She plans to return the money, but never gets the opportunity.

The lodging facility is managed by a solitary male named Norman, who is polite, anxious, and extremely interested in taxidermy. He discusses his mother often. She is not seen but is said to disapprove of guests. Shortly after a conversation about personal traps and birds, the guest is murdered in the bathing unit. The attacker is unseen and presumed to be the mother.

The story then shifts focus. A private investigator arrives. He is also eliminated. A second wave of humans — including the missing woman’s sister — begin piecing together the mystery. They eventually discover that the mother is, in fact, a long-deceased corpse. Norman has preserved her body and speaks to it regularly. In moments of stress, he adopts her personality entirely.

Earth authorities arrive and contain Norman, who has now fully retreated into the maternal identity. The film ends with an internal monologue delivered in the voice of the mother, while Norman remains motionless and smiling.

Conclusion: Humans are deeply susceptible to psychological fragmentation, particularly when emotional trauma intersects with prolonged isolation. They will attempt to mask instability with politeness, but structural damage becomes evident under pressure.

This record suggests that Earth’s danger signals may be quiet, lonely, and soft-spoken. Nebulon should not be distracted by courteous behavior — the smiling ones may already be speaking for two.
