Stella Greyber

First seen in Chapter 1.

Stella Greyber is a senior Playtime Co. employee, the head of Playcare, and the voice that welcomes children to the Game Station. She is first heard on the pink interview tape in Chapter 1, talking about wanting to be a child again.

The interview

On the Stella Greyber Interview tape an interviewer asks why she wants to work at Playtime Co. She says she took the job because toys felt magical to her as a child, and she talks about helping children.

Then she wanders. She wishes she could be a child again. Bodies age and die, she says, and some trees outlive people. The interviewer tells her they are getting off track.

Playcare and the Game Station

An Internal Memo from the counselor Joel Sinclair is addressed to her as head of Playcare.

In Chapter 2 her recorded voice plays over the intercom when the Player pulls the levers on the Game Station panel. She welcomes the children, calls the games little tests, and names Mommy Long Legs as their guide. Staff instructions say all test reports go to her.

Bigger Bodies

She is one of the authors of the Cross-Department Report on Experiment 1188, dated February 20, 1991. On the Stella Greyber Project Audit tape Leith Pierre asks for her views on the Bigger Bodies Initiative.

After the Theater Incident she met with Pierre and Eddie Ritterman to decide what to do about Harley Sawyer.

A note signed Stella is attached to the report on Matthew Hallard, one of the three boys used to make Doey. It asks the team to be gentle if they pick him.
