If it isn't in the inn journal (and sometimes even if it is), it's almost certainly on Garland Tools - which is a lot easier to quote than Youtube.

From Echoes of an Echo:

SYSTEM
The device in which Krile was held seems even more ominous now you know its purpose. The surrounding pods are marked “Supply Subject” while this one bears the label “Master Subject.”

IRONWORKS ENGINEER
The Ironworks received a request from the Alliance to analyze these devices, and I've been recording everything of interest. Did you notice the labeling?
All the pods are designed to drain the aether of the occupant...save that one right there.
Unlike the others, the interior's been fitted with an array of sensors to measure aetheric wave forms. To what purpose, however, I couldn't tell you.

FLAME DOCTOR
So many bodies... Every one of them a victim of these “experiments.”
Few show any signs of external injury. From what we've been able to determine, they perished from forcible aether extraction. Such a miserable way to die...
We've recovered scores of bodies from those devices. What could possibly justify the deaths of so many...?

Taken in combination with the testimonies of Krile and Thancred, I do begin to see exactly what the imperials were attempting here.
The enhancement procedure entailed infusing a single candidate with aether siphoned from a multitude of “supply subjects.”
As for the “master subject”─in this case, Krile─the patterns of her aetheric activity would provide the model upon which they would artificially engineer the candidate's aura.

The forcible extraction of aether from a living subject is invariably fatal. How many died that Fordola might gain her new abilities?
