Chapter 16 - Subject 2002, the Host

Name: Carter Tonnes Assignation: Subject 2002, the Host. Age: 33. Gender: M. Haircolor: Brown. Eyecolor: Amber. Profession: Scientific Researcher. Initial Symptoms: Extreme insect attack, legs were mangled and badly damaged. A member of a special research team, in charge of a project of breeding Rejuvenate enhanced bees, which the research team lost control and attack one of the researchers, mauling, tearing, and stinging the man's legs, and forcing the project to be canceled, and the man that was attack was immediately transferred to R.I.H, Arcana Menjum facility, the attending doctor, Gabe Tokiumi.

Hello I'm Dr. Tokiumi, I've recently was recruited by Dr. James, after a good number of doctors have perished to the...unique patients, that this facility, hospitalizes.

I have some experience in dealing with patients, suffering from magical related illnesses, in fact it's my specialty I'm a certified Arcane Disease Treatment & Management, or simply A.D.T.M. which is my surprise, I don't practice normal medicine, regardless of the situation my main profession involves the handling of magic, and side-effects it can cause on the body...so why would a facility, like this need a ADTM specialist?

Regardless I'll offer what aid I can, in the saving and treating patients, in fact my first official patient is on his way to the facility, his name Carter Tonnes...interesting this gentleman, seems to work for the same company that created Rejuvenate...didn't Rejuvenation stopped it production?

I'll have to discuss this with my colleagues, some time, this could be a case of gross negligence, and the Royal Institute of Healing, must be informed...I think I've talked for long enough, Dr. Tokiumi signing off.

DAY 8. Dr. Tokiumi speaking, log 4 with patient Carter Tonnes, I still don't understand or agree with this strange patient assignment, as the head of this facility, Aron James, wants me to refer to Mr. Tonnes as Subject 2002, when making a recording...but I won't.

Regardless I am on my way to check-up on Mr. Tonnes' legs once again...[door-hinch] Good afternoon, Mr. Tonnes I've come to examine your injuries again, are you feeling any more discomfort? [Subject 2002 speaking] Doctor...my legs...my legs, are still in agony, I feel the bees...like they're still on my legs...[grunting, hissing] [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] Don't worry, Mr. Tonnes I'll get some pain killers, that should alleviate some of your pain. [Subject 2002 speaking] Thank you...

[Screaming] [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] Mr. Tonnes? [screaming] Mr. Tonnes, what's wrong!!? [screaming] God, nurse get in here, I need assistance now!!

...

...

I'd never seen something like that, I should explain...[long breathe]...I have to apologize, I usual take a smoke to calm myself, and trust me, after I explain what happened in Mr. Tonnes' room, I believe you'll will need a cigarette as well...[long breathe] okay, after the patient started screaming in clear pain, I called for nurses to help me.

Once I'd have some assistance, I checked on the patient, sedating him so we can examine him safely, nothing was wrong with the patient, until...until we checked his legs...from below his knees down to the ankles, the legs were covered in cavities, oozing blood infused discharge, but what we saw was a true shock...larvae, actual large larvae around 1.5-inched in size, were tunneling and ripping the inside of Mr. Tonnes legs, immediately I sent him to emergency operation for treatment, [long breathe] I think, I should end this log now...this is Dr. Tokiumi signing off.

DAY 19. Almost a week has passed, since I discovered those larvae within the legs of my patient...this is Dr. Tokiumi speaking, and the patient I'm talking about is Carter Tonnes, or as my colleagues refer him as Subject 2002.

After my colleagues performed a emergency operation to remove, those larvae out of my patient legs, they'd informed me that over three dozen larvae were removed, causing incredible pain, and damage to Mr. Tonnes' legs, the one responsible for the operation told me, that we were fortunate, leaving those larvae in the legs, they'd would have consumed the muscles, joints, and more in Tonnes' legs, now I understand his screaming...[sighing] I can barely imagine the pain that he was in.

Regardless the operation was successful, and the skin was sown sealed and special restoration potions, administered to hasten Mr. Tonnes' recovery, while the larvae were given to Dr. Colton to examine and identify, so for now we can only wait...Dr. Tokiumi, log 13, signing off...

Update File on Subject 2002, DAY 16 Name: Carter Tonnes Assignation: Subject 2002, the Host. Age: 33. Gender: M. Haircolor: Brown. Eyecolor: Amber. Recorded Changes Skintone-Descoloration is noticeable, almost like all the nutrients of the Subject is being drained away. Other Changes-Subject has been constantly suffering from a infection of bee larvae, spawning and causing agonizing damage to Subject's legs, many removal operation have been, done, another anomaly is despite the decrease of nutrients and strength of the Subject, no adverse side-effects have been recorded.

DAY 44. Good day, Dr. Tokiumi speaking, after my colleague Dr. Colton, identified that the larvae that keep spawning from my patient, not only as bee larvae but the specific bee that HETEX was experimenting on, making these bees larger, stronger, and more vitile to produce larger amounts of honey, bee wax, and more...now Mr. Tonnes acts like a unwilling host for these bees...

He has been in more than a dozen operations to remove these larvae, before they further damage his legs, or mature fully...I've come with a grave conclusion...with the constant re-infections, and the pain that Mr. Tonnes is constantly, that he was forced to be placed in a medical coma, so he can deal with the pain, I'll sign off for his legs to be amputated...right above the knees, as a precaution, incase the bee larvae, burrowed further than we have knowledge...

As I stated, this wasn't a easy decision, I've exhausted all option, both medical and magical to save Mr. Tonnes legs, but every treatment has ended in failure...[sighing] know I have to think of the patient's well being as a whole, soo...this is my final decision, in a few days, I'll instruct my colleagues to perform a emergency amputation of Mr. Tonnes...Dr. Tokiumi signing off.

Update File on Subject 2002, DAY 52 Name: Carter Tonnes Assignation: Subject 2002, the Host. Age: 33. Gender: M. Haircolor:Faded Brown. Eyecolor: Amber. Recorded Changes Skintone-Descoloration has been recovering slightly... Other Changes-After the leg amputation, the subject fell into deep coma, without any medical aid, now in isolation and observation...

DAY 90. Dr. Tokiumi speaking, after my examination of my other patients, that my colleagues assigned them as Subject 0074, 0906, and 1000 all with extreme magical anomalies...their name are Jaimie Balgaz, Carmen Bella, and Wade Kert, they are in a critical stage of their treatments, especially Mrs. Bella...but this recording isn't for my other patients, but my original one, Carter Tonnes.

After I begrudgingly ordered the amputation of Mr. Tonnes' legs, he fell into a coma, we've tried to awaken him, but he remain in that state, so after securing some IVs, a specialize heart monitor, a uniquely designed oxygen mask placed on him, and relocating the patient to a special room, that has magical bug killing gas, in case any stragglers of the bee larvae managed to remain in the amputation areas of the legs, with this we can monitor, and treat Mr. Tonnes without risk to his health, during recovery.

I hope I can talk to him again, and apologize...it wasn't that I didn't try, there wasn't any other way to save him...excuse me...[flick, long breathe]...I apologize again, I've been under a lot of stress, trying to help my patients, as for Mr. Tonnes we've been keeping a watchful eye over him, and constantly checking his status, currently their isn't any issue...and I hope none appear in the future, this is Dr. Tokiumi signing off.

This is Dr. James speaking, something has happened in the containment area, that Reese has been keeping the Rejuvenate affected bee larvae, after they'd grown to maturity instead of a full metamorphosis, they created a massive hive of bee wax, without pollen or any outside source to provide them the resource...I'll admit it was truly amazing, since the bees have proven aggressive, we've decided to keep them in isolation, until they naturally expire.

I'd told Reese and all other staff, that any involvement with the bees is strictly prohibited, after what happened to Subject 2002, also designated the Host, we can't risk a outbreak, and other becoming sustenance for these magically modified bees, I'm starting to think, I should just eliminate the bees...[long breathe], yes I'll...[slam]...what!!?

What wrong now, did Subject 1307 try to escape again!!? [Background: Doctor, the bee containment it broken, all the bees have escaped, we can't locate them!!] What!!!

Alert everyone, I want the guards in high alert and ready, go!! (Audio cuts off.)

DAY 95. This is a recording of the bee incident, and attack on Subject 2002... [Dr. James speaking] What's happening here!? [Background: Doctor, we were looking around for the bees...and we've found Subject 2002's room is covered in bee wax, honey, and we hear loud buzzing, coming from the room. We can't enter.] Seriously, the bees escape to search Subject 2002, did they make a parasitic connection with that man? [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] Dr. James!! [Panting] I came as fast I could, after they'd told me what happened to Mr. Tonnes!! [Dr. James speaking] Yes, currently the bees have sealed the room, and blocked all cameras, so we have no idea on what's happening in there, are you ready? [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] I be lying to say yes, but what other choice do we have?

We have to save the patient. [Dr. James speaking] Good, now bust the door down, and remember special protection on always!!! [Banging, smashing] [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] Ohhh my God!!! [Buzzing] What did they do to him!!? [Background: Dr. Tokiumi stay back, men use the smoke guns, we don't want these things more aggressive!!] He is still alive!! [Dr. James speaking] What? [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] His hand, the hand is moving, he's awake!!! [Dr. James speaking] Dr. Tokiumi, stop!!!

Guards, pull him back now!! [Background-Tokiumi: Let me go, I have to save him, please help me!!? See he is grabbing my hands, help me get out of this gunk!!!] Stop, Tokiumi your in danger, let the guard subdue the bees, please let go of the Subject's hand. [Buzzing] Tokiumi let go, the bees are getting more aggressive!! [Tearing, cracking, squelching] God is that...get him out of here, leave now.
