Dear comrade Novikov,

It has been long time since when in your jurisdiction. I hope you are doing well. It seems that in the absence of comrade Belov you are supervising SCEC directly. I assume it would be adequate to address you on this matter.

I will avoid getting into details of what we actually did as until the technology is refined it cannot be disclosed even to such superior officers as yourself. To be brief, comrade Belov sustained numerous injuries to his brain, that eventually led to necrosis of peripheral neural system. To get him back in shape, we had to use genetic editting to establish and stimulate production of modified enzymes and proteins for partial regeneration and integration of the lost parts of neural system. However, not everything can be regenerated. Thus, we turned to our profile - cybernetics - and compensated organics with machinery. The proteins mentioned before were also designed to facilitate acceptance of non-organic components by comrade Belov's body.

Used augmentations:

Cybernetic Bronchus

Cybernetic Spine and Ribs

Cybernetic Heart

Cybernetic Arms

Running DBA test for compatibility with non-organic implants

Procedural report on implant integration

Aside from given augmentations we installed a respiratory alleviation system due to the collapse of comrade Belov's trachea after the incident.

I must admit, that using my position I insisted on carrying out additional tests and experiments. To our surprise, while toying with neuroamplifier augmentation connected to comrade Belov's brain that was meant to stimulate his brain parts that succumbed to necrosis after exposure to extra low temperature and limited access to Oxygen, we detected anomalous brain activity. With the neuroamplifier, we managed to make the anomalous brain waves coherent. Previously, we have seen such brain activity only twice in terms of "Volhv" project that you are absolutely oblivious about, which is for the better. To say it short... comrade Belov possesses "psyonic" abilities. By no means he is a sorcerer, our people are beyond those superstitions, but we believe now he is capable of telepathicaly convey his thoughts and emotions, alike the effect of "nomads" communication. It is still necessary to confirm this with some tests and it goes without saying that Doctor Belov will require time to recuperate to get back in shape. In the meantime, we will be working with him to explore the limits of his new "abilities" as we did with other subjects in terms of "Volhv" project. A truly marvelous day for our science!



This being said, I believe that he can return to his duties to SCEC within a few days or weeks. It is unclear whether he will so desire, as his new abilities might benefit our Nation elsewhere.


Until then, I remain
Andrei Kasatkin
