Rendling-Human Chimeric Event - Log #31
What do you mean, only one survivor? This institution had over 50 different staff members! We had guards! Hell, the Army even lends us soldiers on the regular! How in He'ans name did only one person survive -- and just some random nurse at that?This report is an interview of the sole survivor of the worst chimeric event Keyazcallen has seen in 15 years. The chimeric event resulted in large scale destruction of the Azca Wastes home of Catalurgic Progress, which prompted the rebuild and renovation of the facility. The rendling-human chimera was eventually tracked down and neutralized by the Keyazcallen Military with minimal harm done to surrounding civilization. While the work the Military did was admirable, the low amount of excess damage was thanks largely to the fact that the Azca Wastes are exceedingly sparsely populated.
Should the reader of this document be confused or lost at any point, a primer of reading material has been suggested. Champ Winstar's Catalurgy and YOU!, while an unfinished book containing only 1 chapter, serves as a perfect introduction to Catalurgy and the surgery required for it.
No, I don't know why we don't have our own copy of that note from the book. Yes, I'm aware the publishing company for that book is called "MYTHS, THE OCCULT, AND MORE - TRUTHFULLY REAL BOOKS LTD". It's been deemed the best primer on Catalurgy, and thus we use it. Make sure there's one in every library.
Rendling-Human Chimeric Event - Log #31
Report:
Chimeric event #31 Note: This is the second event since we moved to the new operating room in as many days, after the last one was destroyed. Document Author: Mattheis Pozin Surgeons Present: Doctor Lawrence Elswater, Doctor Farrah Ston observing Nurses Present: Ryl Anskis, Alan Swinson, Taylee Inther Survivors: Ryl AnskisForward:
The intended recipient of the Thymalladus appeared to be no different from any of the other 10 patients we'd seen this year. The recipient, known henceforth as Patient A, was of average build -- a little under 6' tall, male. Slightly balding, reported age was 30 years old. Patient A was sedated before arrival at AW HCP. Procedure was to follow standard "shop n swap" that the Military is pushing these days.Procedure:
Patient A was wheeled into the operating room. His breathing and heart rate seemed normal, for someone heavily sedated. The prep team had already marked him with an X -- it seems he'd be having his left kidney replaced. My job was to be monitoring vitals, while the other nurses Alan and Taylee assisted Doctor Elswater. Taylee was to provide support to Doctor Elswater, while Alan would ensure the compression bands around Patient A's legs stimulated proper blood flow. The procedure started normally -- Doctor Elswater made a clean incision on the indicated area on Patient A's abdomen. Bleeding was regular. I think this must've been the hundreth procedure she's done. She was getting quite fast at it. In under 5 minutes she had the kidney cleanly severed and removed, and Taylee moved over with a tray to collect it. I could see the empty space left by the kidney -- just some veins and arteries, and the severed adrenal gland hanging out in there. Doctor Elswater nodded to Taylee, indicating for her to bring over the Thymalladus. The doctor called over Doctor Ston to get a closer look, and then asked Taylee to insert the Thymalladus. I think Taylee hadn't done this before, because she appeared startled by the instructions, and acted fairly nervously. It appeared to go normally though, because Doctor Elsewater nodded, and took over again. The doctor began positioning veins and arteries, all the while explaining to Doctor Ston what she was doing.The Incident
At this point, everything went to shit. If I'm honest, I'm not even sure how it happened either. Doctor Elswater, Doctor Ston, and Nurse Taylee were all standing around Patient A's upper body. Nurse Alan was at the end of the operating table, near Patient A's legs, massaging them to stimulate blood flow. I was a few steps away from the table, listening to the patient's heart rate. The room had become a little bit too noisy to hear, and something was of about the heart rate, so I closed my eyes to focus and listen.
Then I heard nothing from the heart monitor. I remember thinking to myself, "what a shame, another failure, poor Doctor Farrah's first viewing of a Thymalladical Procedure ends in failure". I took the buds out of my ear, and then finally noticed the high pitched, unnatural wailing coming from Patient A's slowly widening mouth. Doctor Elswater spun the scalpel around in her hand from a pen grip to a stabbing grip. She looked at me and yelled through her mask, "Chimeric Event, initiate lock-down, now!"
I turned and ran to the door, visions of the Doctor stabbing what used to be Patient A repeatedly in the chest with her scalpel burned into my retinas. I had seen what happens when operating rooms get locked down during a chimeric event. I didn't want to be anywhere near that thing. I sprinted past the other nurses as they stood stunned, opened the door, and fled the facility.
Post Note
Ryl Anskis was found huddled in a small cave a short distance away from the now ruined AW HCP. As the sole survivor of the institution, he was taken in for questioning, where he gave the above recollection. During a brief respite of the interrogation, when he was alone in the room, Ryl somehow managed to escape and his current whereabouts are unknown.
Seen here is a quick sketch of Patient A, moments after the incident occurred.
I have a few more... questions for Ryl, if you end up finding him. Put out a "detain on site" notice, please.
What I could read of this article sounded interesting. Unfortunately I couldn't read much of the document as for some reason I can't scroll down at all, but the top part was cool and I could see a bit of the top of the figure which has me intrigued.
You seem confused about tense here, with the double verb.Necromancy is a Wholesome Science.
Ahha! I changed the opening quote a few times, and seems I entirely missed fixing the beginning of it. Thanks for pointing that out! As for the document not working, that's weirrrd. I'll spend some time here trying to get that figured out! I wonder what bit of CSS I'm doing is messing with that... thanks for pointing it out as well :)
I fixed it, I believe! The weird unable to scroll the document part, that is!
Yay! Now I can read it.
