16th of January 818 A.S.: Planet Toledo: Medical center; patient status

07:30: "Started off the day relatively quiet. Patient in separated section from yesterday showed continuous increased metabolism and brain activity. Scan results from the night showed, that his body was consuming a lot more energy than it is normal. Internal organs such as liver and kidneys have been affected by the liquid cardamine as well, causing slight mutations to take place."

09:00: "Upon further tests to determine the final outcome of this change, it turned out to look relatively grim. The concentration of the liquid cardamine cast quite a beating on the patient's body. Even if we were to treat him with cutting edge technology, we'd be unable to completely reverse the effects. I wish we would have acted sooner..."

11:19: "Patient was conscious and able to talk. He stated that the pain was gone but also felt very exhausted and unstable. I've issued a request of cardamine to stabilize his status. There didn't seem to be another way. Left patient to rest afterwards."

11:41: "I didn't tell him about his state yet, nor did I know how he would react. While seeming to know what happened to him, the patient seemed unaware of his medical condition. When I went back to him to provide him the cardamine, he started to talk about himself. Apparently lost his way after being declined by the Order as possible candidate. Then got attacked by an overwhelming force. He also told me his name, [RETRACTED]. Patient also stated to feel better after the cardamine was administered, seemingly feeling joy as the previous pain and uneasiness was gone."

13:41: "I've talked to a bunch of people, including the Order's secondary fleet recruitment officers. Given his state, the best option would be to work with a lead, rather than being left to himself. However, I did not mention his medical condition, as that might make it impossible for him to join the Order's ranks. Instead, I've issued the 'production' of a special cardamine dispenser, which the patient wouldn't know of when 'wearing' it. Until he is able to live his own life again, mentioning his addiction might prove devastating."

16:57: "Completed the specifications for the dispensing device. It'll be implanted in his [RETRACTED] and will be refilled all three days under cover of medical check-ups. For now, this is all I can do for him. I hope he'll find a way to cope with it once we tell him..."
