Chapter 8 - Subject 0199, the Beast

Name: Renaldo Bastita Assignation: Subject 0199, the Beast. Age: 28. Gender: M. Haircolor: Brown. Eyecolor: Caramel Brown. Profession: Zookeeper, zoologist, veterinarian. Initial Symptoms: Mawling, possible contraction of secondary animal affliction, spreading rash, fever, and headaches. Quickly discovered for being apart of special testing of Rejuvenate, on potential animal, tranquilizers as in calming aggression, but instead increase the aggression on all animals, and resulted in major attack, surviving, and avoiding possible fallback he was recovered by a special team. Upon further examination, it was discovered that quite possibly secondary contraction through Rejuvenate might occur, and so immediately transferred to R.I.H, Arcana Menjum facility has happened.

This is Dr. Eliza Sainth, I have taken over all my late colleague, Dr. Michael Joyten's patients, ranging from Subjects 0428, 0808, and 0555, but this patient designated Subject 0199, shall be marked as my first official case, the Subject was brought in by our staff, after emergency treatment of a serious, multi-species animal attack, in the following six day examination, it was shown that the subject has started showing sign of a progressing affliction.

[Scrambling notes] Unique changes, hormones were too erratic, and not aligning with that of a young man, hence his immediate transfer, after the wounds have proven stable enough to not cause further harm, towards the subject...honestly I'm quite intrigued, on what this Renaldo Bastita will become, [Cackle] things here, their progress, and through progress we can achieve great things, excuse me, but this is a record of our most honest thoughts, signed off by the head of this facility, and this is my opinion on the subjects...but...as long as this man remains a man, I'll try my best to aid him, this is Dr. Eliza Sainth signing off...

DAY 1. Subject 0199, log 1, this is Dr. Sainth speaking on my first examination of the patient...[Door-hinch] Patient is currently being administered IV solution, along with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, via intravenous procedure.

[Grunting] Subject appears to be sterring, I'll maintain the log active, recording all that occurs throughout this examination...[Deep breathing How are you feeling, Mr. Bastita, any discomfort or pain? [Subject 0199 speaking] I feel strange...[Dr. Sainth speaking] Strange...can you please elaborate? [Deep breathing] [Subject 0199 speaking] I feel the air...I feel your slight movements near me, without looking...I know you're there...[Deep breathing] I can taste, something... I don't know what's happening, or why I'm soo calm, or why I don't feel uncomfortable...I know I'd barely survived.

Trust me I know, I was attacked by great beasts, I should be dead but...it's almost like something wanted to pass on...[Dr. Sainth speaking] Do you truly, believe this? [Scrambling notes] You could be experiencing, spiritualic view of euphoria, from surviving your ordeal.

Or perhaps, something that preliminary exams overlooked, we can have hundred of possibilities here. [Deep breathing, growl] [Subject 0199 speaking] You don't understand...believe me, I don't either...having been torn by claws, ripped by fangs, crush by strong hooves, and even bitten by deadly poisons...soo tell me...how am I alive, talking to you, while being this calm? [Dr. Sainth speaking] Why indeed?

I'm going to draw some blood, is that okay with you? [Deep breathing] [Subject 0199 speaking] Why...haven't you'd drawn enough, from before? [Dr. Sainth speaking] That was than this is now, I believe you'd be surprised after I check, my suspicions.

...

...

Curious, the way he spoke, breathe, and remains soo calm, this is a really interesting case, even Subject 0808 wasn't this interesting to me.

I now have his latest blood sample, I'll have Dr. Colton test it, I truly believe my suspicions will be answered, and maybe utterly crushed by a whole another level of unimaginable potential, yes this is my...[Clear throat] this is Dr. Eliza Sainth, signing off.

DAY 16. [Background:Incredible, absolutely incredible, Subject 0199...you are simply incredible...] [Laughing] Forgive me, I am doctor Reese Colton, and I've finally finished testing and examining the blood sample of Subject 0199, handed to me by Dr. Sainth.

Checking the sample, I learned that several strands of non-human DNA is attacking, changing the cell and DNA strands of the human side, I won't call it parasitic, or symbiotic, but instead displacement...no, I think this a whole new term, in cellular biology, no biology in general!!

This is just the initiation of this process, I'm eager to see it, in it complete fruition...[Sighing]...but at last, knowing my colleagues, they'll try to stop this process and seek to reverse it...what a waste...I'll simply report what I've discovered, after all I'm still under oath, and while I'd like to change the route operation in this facility, I can't, and must do my experiments in the dark for now, in only doing so and getting results, will they see...like my more personal logs, I'll keep this log hidden, once all is done I'll give all my documents to the council, and change everything, continuing Rejuvenate progression!! [Slamming]

This is a wasted opportunity, James I know in your heart, you think so too old friend...this is Dr. Reese Colton, signing off.

DAY 24. After having Dr. Colton's report, I was correct from my previous guess, ohh sorry, I'm Dr. Eliza Sainth, I'm currently reading not only Dr. Colton, but also many other reports involving Subject 0199, several changes has happened to him, including a incident involving a janitor, who bleed near him.

I should start in the beginning, the eighth day of the subject started to show increased reaction, and senses, complaining of the smells, with this report in my hands it explains those traits, possibly a mixed of various creatures, truly fascinating.

The next event, came in the fourteenth day, the subject complained of intense pain from various area, examination showed that Subject 0199 has been growing fangs, alongside his human teeth, shifting and tearing his mouth, as for the other reported pain, all the laceration, fractures, and broken bones, muscle tissue, and tendons are being torn apart, and regrown, thicker, stronger, and less normal...or better said less human structure, after that day, the rash began to spread, and intensify in color.

A nurse, commented that some patches of the rash is becoming harder to the touch, like a shell, truly interesting.

As the subject, progresses in his transformation I'll demand another colleague with some speciality in animal biology to identify these changes, but the last incident was in the twenty day, as a janitor was cleaning the room of the subject, getting cut and bleeding, triggering a...animalistic instinct, now within the subject, attacking the janitor, and with ferocity and strength of beast, mawled, taking a large group of orderlies to save the victim, and a tranquilizer was administered.

This is all for now, great care and precautions to deal with the growth of strength, aggression, and mutation on Subject 0199, have to increase, I'll also recommend restrains to keep staff safe, this is Dr. Eliza Sainth, signing off.

Update File on Subject 0199, DAY 35 Name: Renaldo Bastita Assignation: Subject 0199, the Beast. Age: 28. Gender: M. Haircolor: Brownish Orange. Eyecolor: Brown Green. Weight: 565-pounds. Recorded Changes Skintone-Subject has recuperated around 12% of lost tissue, from previous attack, rash has become a darker red in coloration, hardening almost like a exoskeleton on shoulders, thighs, and upper back. Other Changes-Tests have shown, that subject possesses Lion, Tiger, Chameleon, Komodo, Wasp, Spider, and Scorpion DNA strands causing extreme mutation, and discomfort, growth of fangs along with teeth, growth in muscle mass, senses growth in sensitivity, and many, many more mutations, and behavior changes...

DAY 46. [Thrashing, screaming] [Subject 0199 speaking] I smell you...your scent...your movements...your heat, draws me...[Snarling]...what's happening, one instance, I can't...[Groaning]...feel the pain, and I stop...[Thrashing, growling]...

[Dr. Sainth speaking] Interesting, a split personality...or instinc over reason? [Chuckling] You are fascinating, Subject 0199. [Thrashing, snarling] I remember your scent. [Dr. Sainth speaking] Really, so am I speaking to Subject 0199 or Renaldo Bastita?

Doesn't really matter, note subject is exhibiting a possible mental breakdown, resulting in DID, observation shows that more muscle mass is growing and reshaping, the Subject's body, malformation on the right extremity, and possible jaw self-reconstruction [Snarling, thrashing] ohh and clear increase in aggression, in obviously observation. [Subject 0199 speaking] Sweet scent...hunger...[Screaming]...please help me...doctor it hurts, stop the pain...the voice...

...

...

[Dr. Sainth speaking] Voice? [Humm] Interesting, note possible further mental breakdown, and degradation is being shown. [Groaning] Alright, alright [Sighing] I'll call a nurse to sedate you, and ease the intense pain, so can you please let me finish.

...

Alright, I left the room of the subject, now I can finally continue my documentation, I'd also gave the order to a nurse to sedate the subject to treat the extreme level of pain described...moving on...through my observations, and Dr. Colton I can understand many of the changes, heighten senses and allure of blood, common for a predator, the hair loss and growth in other area, may have similar properties to the hair follicles of a spider, if I can give a in depth comparison, his becoming like the chimeras of ancient myth...Chimera...that's a better designation than the Beast, isn't it...this is Dr. Eliza Sainth signing off.

Update File on Subject 0199, DAY 61 Name: Renaldo Bastita Second Identity: Chimera Assignation: Subject 0199, the Beast. Age: 28. Gender: M. Haircolor: Orange. Eyecolor: Luminary Green. Weight: 2000-pounds. Recorded Changes Skintone-The rash is nearly covering all the body, dark exoskeleton is spreading across the subject body, spikes, horns, and other mutation on both inner and outer skin. Other Changes-Body transformation from right arm growing into a three finger claw, spine is gaining plated layer, like a reptile combine to a exoskeleton, hairless with disfigured head with horned shells, a orange mane starting growing around the neck, and a sharp mandible growing off the side of the mouth, muscle and size extreme growth and left foot disfigurement, and much more...

DAY 94. [Sighing] [Background: As interesting of a case you are Subject 0199, dealing with a beast, prove to be very tiring.] This is Dr. Eliza Sainth, Subject 0199 log 54, after a several days, and dealing with several incidents, involving various fools that underestimate the strength, brutality, and ferocity of Subject 0199, resulting in seven fatalities, twelve serious injured, and twenty-three minor injured...God is like dealing with ignorant imbeciles.

During those...attacks, we've discovered that the affliction of Subject 0199 has practically rewrote human reason, with pure predatory, and animalistic instinct...and hunger, refusing cook meal, preferring rawer meals, more animal DNA strains, and traits are appearing across of the body of the subject, to prevent more set back as these, Dr. James, finally agreed to my proposal to chain-up Subject 0199 so we can perform our task, in safety.

Just last week, the subject was behaving extremly aggression, roaring, snarling, and even howling for hours non-end, until last night when the noises ceast, so I along with a unit of orderlies and guard went to check Subject 0199 room...[Background: Be ready for anything, the subject could have mutated again, and possibly become strong enough to break those chains. I want tranq-guns, at the ready at all times, is that understood?] We're about to the enter the room...

[Door-hinch] [Background: Good that smell...doctor what this junk on the floor? Look there that stuff on the walls too!! What is this...did that beast do this? Doctor Sainth?] Amazing...[Background: What the fuck is that thing!? Hey the chains, their broken!! But where the damn thing? I dont see it anywhere!!] Fools, Subject 0199 is right in front of us. He cacooned himself, in a chrysalis of flesh...so to answer your previous questions, that smell is flesh, and most likely gastric juices.

Seems that Subject 0199 has reached the final metamorphosis stage of his mutation, very well. [Background: Everyone leave this room, also install cameras here, I want to know the exact moment Subject 0199 emerges!!] [Scrambling, squelching] Like I said before Subject 0199, you'd proven to be quite the fascinating case, indeed, Dr. Eliza Sainth signing off.

This is Dr. Reese Colton, Subject 0199 or as many in the facility have come to call him, Chimera, has proven to the key to new stage of cellular biology, and now a metamorphosis is happening, like my colleague has been saying, this proved to be a very intriguing case.

Sample from the...discarded waste...inside of Subject 0199 room, has shown large quantities of animal hormones, traits, and DNA sequences, most prominent being Arachnid, Reptilian, and Feline, whatever is coming out of that chrysalis, I can safely say, it the new apex predator of this world, and this is just the preliminary assessment, when Subject 0199 emerges, the abilities it might possess might be like nothing we've expected.

Plus I wonder if the human factor, any of it, will survive this final transformation? This is Dr. Reese Colton, signing off.
