===Origins=== <center>''"Yeah, I remember 'the head'. He's hard to forget. The stench of disinfectants, the screeching noise he made as they wheeled him in... The worst thing was the eyes, all lidless and bloodshot, constantly moving about. I saw grown men, hardened veterans, piss themselves when he fixed his gaze on them... Hell, I might have been one of them."<br>Thaddeus Berg, "Here Comes a Big One, or How I Survived the Eastern Front"''</center> The Observer program was introduced during [[The Great Decimation]], as a means to extract information from prisoners of war. The first prototype of the Dream Eater device was designed in 2053. The original augmentation was based on experimental technology, which proved defective and prone to a number of tragic side effects, including a drastically reduced lifespan and extreme mental instability. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the original Observers were recruited mostly among severely wounded soldiers, frequently ones who could no longer function without the aid of cybernetics. As long as their brain retained all of its functions, they could be inducted into the Observer program, thus prolonging their life and service. Arguably the most famous Observer from that time was Thomas Lipinski - a young soldier inducted into the program after losing all of his limbs to a P-92 mine. Although cybernetic prostheses were already available, Lipinski's body rejected any attempts at implantation. Thus, what was left of his torso and head was mounted on a specially designed rack and wheeled in when it was necessary to interrogate captured enemy soldiers. It is often said that the name 'observer' originated from Lipinski, as the fellow soldiers often referred to him - rather crudely - as a 'head on a stick' that could no longer do anything but observe the world around him. This, however, has been denied by the lead engineer of the program, who stated that the name was given in the early testing phase.
