Chapter 17 - Subject 0074, the Body-cast

Name: Jaimie Balgaz Assignation: Subject 0074, the Body-cast. Age: 23. Gender: M. Haircolor: Blond Brown. Eyecolor: Purple Indigo. Profession: College Student, Heir of the Balgaz Family. Initial Symptoms: Victim of a explosion, major damage, laceration, burns, loss of right arm and left leg, mangled right leg. A miraculous survivor...if considered of a massive gas explosion, that destroyed majority of the body of the young man, being the sole heir of the Balgaz, they made a deal with the Council, using a experimental science-craft created advance mechanical recovering unit, like a mechanized body cast, meant to regenerate and strengthen the person placed inside, but the process was too slow and the IV lines, potion ports, and more were replaced with Rejuvenate made medicine, because of this he was immediately transferred to R.I.H Arcana Menjum facility, for observation and maintenance, the attending doctor, Gabe Tokiumi.

My name is Gabe Tokiumi, a doctor recruited into this facility, my division head, Dr. James, I'm about to receive a new patient, after my desperate battle to heal and save the legs of my first patient Carter Tonnes, it seems that my colleagues wish for me to care for people.

This arriving patient, his name is Jaimie Balgaz, who during a work related accident, barely survived a devastating explosion, destroying majority of the body of the patient, then he placed into a advance recovery unit, resembling a mechanical suit, regenerating the body slowly...it said in my records [scrambling notes] my God, he lost around 61% of his body...it's a miracle he is still alive...

Regardless I'll help treat this young man...but I'm quite doubtful he'll be able to survive, with so many artificial, and cybernetic replacements, aid, and life support installed into his body.

[Sighing] Whatever the case, I'll need help from both Dr. Colton and someone from the engineering division if I have any hope of saving this patient, this is Dr. Tokiumi signing off.

DAY 13. I can't believe Aron is making me do this crap as well...well whatever here it goes, [clears throat] hello my name is Dominic Sloan, I'm the head of the Engineering Division of the Arcana Menjum facility...originally I would be fixing things, and helping that bastard Colton, in making devices, and special machines to "treat" the freaks in this place.

Really I don't understand, why anyone would waste time treating these monsters, they should be locked away and forgotten...but I'm not the boss of this damn place, [sigh] since there's a new monster in the making is coming to the facility, the new kid, Tokiumi needs my help to maintain the systems of this Subject's recovery suit.

From the data that I was given, this device acts like a armor that works like life support system, mixing various devices, artificial respirators, IV link, regenerating unit, astrophysic prevention, physical strengthening, and aid...damn this thing is advance...but it seems to be...really, they used a prototype for a critical danger person?

The hell, I can't understand these people, I'm done...aside my objections to be around one of these freak, James is the one in charge, so I have too...so whatever I'm done, name Dominic or Dom Sloan, signing off...

DAY 26. This is Dr. Tokiumi, I'm checking on Mr. Balgaz, as Dom, as in Dominic Sloan from the engineering division, has told me that the patient is now stable enough to finally awaken...[sighing], my colleague Dr. Lorein, said it more than likely the patient is gonna suffer a mental breakdown, after realizing what happened to him...[sigh] this isn't something I'm trained for.

...

The patient vital signs, seems stable and becoming better after being within this suit...should I describe the suit?

[Humming] The suit is encasing Jaimie Balgaz, is primary dark blue and chrome in color, with a rounded, sleek helmet with a large visor for vision support, a chrome mouth piece without features, the back of the head has large blue spikes, a rounded chasy, with a special left arm encased in a special full arm case, with joint support, and several ports for IVs and potion injection to the arm's veins.

The right arm is a prosthetic linked through a special magical line, this...this suit...doesn't have any parts from below the waist, as within this machine, many life support systems are helping the patient remain alive, such as the artificial respirators, taking in air through bents on the side of the chasy, connected to two spikes on the back, acting as vents to breathe out, purified air for the patient...I think I talk about this enough...

...

...

[Sighing] I believe it's time to awaken the patient, nurse can you please activate the units, cerebral links, and wake up Mr. Balgaz. [Background: Right away doctor.] Good, now let's hope nothing happens to the poor man...[pulsing, hitching] all seems good, for now.

[Screaming] What's happening!!? [Screaming, thrashing] Nurse, nurse!! [Screaming, surging] What...is it absorbing the energy of the...shut it down nurse, put him back to in stasis!!! [Screaming] [Subject 0074 speaking] No...I...won't...be...placed...back in that place. [Dr. Tokiumi speaking] What, Jaimie can you hear me!! [Surging] Are you okay, can you stop this!!? [Subject 0074 speaking] Jaimie is offline. I am not him. I. Am. Me. (Audio cuts off)

Update File on Subject 0074, DAY 50 Name: Jaimie Balgaz Self Identification: Cyber Assignation: Subject 0074, the Body-cast. Age: 23. Gender: M. Haircolor: Blond Brown. Eyecolor: Purple Indigo. Artifical Eyecolor: Deep Red. Techno-organic Percentage: 32%. Recorded Changes Psychological-Most likely a magical or technical feedback, causing this Subject a secondary personality, through a program, referring itself as Cyber, hostility is still uncertain, more therapy session are required. Other Changes-Subject has been able to assimilate nearby machine to "upgrade" himself, gaining clawed tiped left hand, right arm has grown in size and parts, wiring and tubbing handing from the exposed waist area, x-rays taken have shown that many wires, tubbing, motherboards, and metal parts are fusing with the organic body within the suit.

DAY 57. This is doctor Anna Lionel, this will be my seventh session with Subject 0074, also gaining the designation the Body-cast, a double meaning, aside from being trapt within a special cast to recuperate, it also bind the man within.

My sessions with Subject 0074, I haven't or more likely I've yet to actually talk with Jaimie Balgaz...instead I've been speaking with some other personal, calling himself Cyber, that has repeatedly stated that he was born from the pain, and broken psyche of Jaimie's damaged brain, but x-ray done by my colleagues have shown that the brain inside the suit, isn't damage in fact the signs show it more active...healthier...and possibly affected by the machinery itself.

Right now with my patient is immobile, so instead of a secure place to have my session, I'm force to go into Subject 0074's room instead, since the guards are occupied dealing with others subjects, especially Subject 0906 going rampant...I feel for that woman, but her degradation doesn't allow for the aid of therapy can provide.

...

...

Sorry for changing the subject, but with what little I've managed to compiled for Subject 0074 is still to meager, for me to have a clear picture on what I'm dealing with, aside a textbook definition of split personality disorder, I have a new scheduled appointment with Subject 0074 in a couple of day, maybe I'll finally make more progress with that subject...I sincerely hope so, this is doctor Anna Lionel signing off.

DAY 59. Dr. Anna Lionel and this is my official seventh therapy session, I'm currently being watched over and escorted by six guards...I thank you, for taking time to assist me, [Background: It's okay doc, just our job, don't worry with us, you'll be safe.] [Chuckling] Again thank you, now...let's us begin.

[Door-hinch] Good morning, Jaimie how are you? [Subject 0074 speaking] Once again, I have to remind you Miss Lionel, I am Cyber. [Dr. Lionel speaking] You're given name is Jaimie Balgaz, why do you keep referring yourself in this name? [Subject 0074 speaking] I'll remind you again. [Mechanical sounds, tapping] Jaimie is trapped...being upgraded, through assimilation, within me. [Dr. Lionel speaking] Assimilated?

Wait...your prosthetic arm...it can move? [Subject 0074 speaking] A simple upgrade, insignificant. [Dr. Lionel speaking] You...you did this? [Background: Doc, should we...?] No, no...please, tell me how did you do this...Cyber? [Mechanical sounds] [Subject 0074 speaking] While I am incapacitated, I been assimilating the metal left behind my...captors...all the blood bags, all the machinery, all the data...it helps me to evolve, and become more. [Dr. Lionel speaking] What do mean?

Evolve, how are you evolving? [Laughing] [Subject 0074 speaking] Anna Lionel...36 of age...married once, lost your husband...Marcus Darrel in a car crash... [Dr. Lionel speaking] How do... [Subject 0074 speaking] Currently working as the assigned psychologist, for several...Subjects...myself included...so I'm Subject 0074?

Now tell me, am I not evolving now doctor? [Dr. Lionel speaking] You...you linked yourself to our database, didn't you? [Subject 0074 speaking] Correct.

As I regenerate this...flesh underneath my steel, I am upgrading everything...body, systems, design, knowledge...and more...[screaming] Jaimie!!!

[Dr. Lionel speaking] What's wrong, Cyber!!? [Screaming, mechanical sounds] [Subject 0074-Jaimie speaking] What's happening to me, my head!!! [Subject 0074-Cyber speaking] Impossible, you're still conscious!!?

[Sparks, explosions, screaming] [Dr. Lionel speaking] Guards, call the engineering division, and the nurses, I believe something is happening to both to the machine, and the patient!!!

I'll end this log here, the patient is desperate need of medical attention...(Audio cuts off)

DAY 63. This is crazy...whatever these idiots did have cause this...ohh I'm Dom Sloan, me, Colton, and Tokiumi checked on that thing...and we couldn't believe what we discovered.

Inside that suit, the organic parts of the body were merging in a symbiotic form, Colton, he said that it techno-symbiosis, the machine is trying to live and assimilate the organic side, but the organic side...the kid called Jaimie is fighting back, this caused a error.

I don't know what's worse...a soulless living machine, or a person that is awaken behind the machine...now both guys, are clashing and causing pain to each other...from the data I've collected, Jaimie is causing both physical and emotional backlash to the machine...while the machine, Cyber, he is overloading the organic side, and experience illogical sentimentality, and emotional overload...damn, this is something straight out of a scy-fi show, Colton got excited and plans to move Subject 0074 into a isolation chamber, disconnected from all data and magic, I supported the idea, while Tokiumi, he demanded that special life support needs, be installed...great more freaking work for a freak, regardless we now have a cyborg...mutant freak, with split personality issues...yeah straight out of fucking show man...I'm done, log off.
