The original manifest of the GVB was accredited to one Dr. Gert De Gek, first executive officer of the GVB and a certified dentist: In Dr. De Gek's memoirs he wrote: "It occurred to me that we scientists are always lacking proper human subjects. Never, in the history of scientific experiments, did we manage to collect enough subjects in a single location and place them in a carefully monitored environment under various levels of psychological and physical pressure and see how quick we can make them go MAD! WE WILL MAKE THEM SCREAM WITH AGONY! THEY WILL PRAY FOR DEATH BUT WE SHALL NOT GIVE IT TO THEM!" and on that note, the manifest ends abruptly.
