Dear Sir,

I am not familiar with Grey Face, but I imagine there is much about all this that I will not find neatly listed in the DSM. I have thought about bringing him up into space again to see what that triggers, but I have been reluctant to do so out of fear for his safety. If something goes wrong, we would find ourselves in a tight space with few options other than to restrain him physically, and I would like to avoid that. Putting him at the controls of a ship, let alone one with people is something that Orbital dismissed out of hand for liability purposes, but my understanding is that your people are far less risk adverse than the corporation. Perhaps giving him a shuttle will help unlock some of his blockages. Perhaps your goddess will speak to him. Stranger things have happened. I know I would feel more comfortable with him under the care of MFE. My main obligation is conducting the psych evaluations for Orbital captains. I haven't actually been involved in treatment and therapy in years.

We can sedate him and transport him to Baffin on a small shuttle, PuddleJumper. It was Breezewood's runabout that was occupied elsewhere during the attack. Having him fly around Baffin might bring him back. Or it might result in another lost ship. Either way, you can probably handle it better than we can from here.

What are our next steps?

PS - Any idea how he got a copy of the Principia Discordia? He's been reading it quite furiously and no one knows how it got into his room.

Sincerely,
Dr. Stephen Newport, M.D. , Psy.D.
