Profile
Redacted is to be considered a contract worker for Rhodes Island, not a full-time operator. While her combat capability is viable at best, her information gathering and skills and impressive medical skills have provided to be invaluable, if somewhat mercenary.She serves as optional support, providing tactical information and other intelligence, unfortunately often to the highest bidder. Despite this, she has proven to not be a security risk.[Unauthorized file access logged]
Clinical Analysis
Patient has thus far resisted all but the most surface level examinations. Apparently she has been self-medicating for some time and has been willing to provide information she has gathered on this front herself. The accuracy of this self-diagnosis has yet to be confirmed.[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 9.5% (alleged)
Patient Redacted bears visible Originium crystals at multiple locations over her body.[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.29u/L (alleged)
Patient Redacted insists that her management of her infection keeps her stable, but the numbers she reports would require regular monitoring and examination.
Archive File 1
Being both Sarkaz and infected, Redacted's distrust of authority seems understandable. Often distant and quiet, she is slow to trust and quick to find exits from uncomfortable discussions. This makes things that should be as simple as medical examinations or even lunch orders terse, often curt affairs.
Archive File 2
Redacted has yet to submit herself for a full medical evaluation and is extremely uncomfortable even at the mention of submitting blood samples. She wears bandages over her arms even under long sleeves, apparently to cover up the exposed Originium crystals growing from her skin.Despite her reluctance to be examined, she has begun to open up personally with some of the medical staff, revealing a shocking amount of knowledge about her condition and its treatment, beyond what would normally be expected of self-medicating infected.Mina attempted to ask her for contact information after somehow hitting it off with her, but she says that she "doesn't go online much." Given her job as an information gathering specialist and self-proclaimed "post-catastrophe data recovery specialist," it’s all quite strange.

Patient arrived today complaining of dizziness, vomiting, and chemical burns to skin. After some amount of prying, the source of the problem was found. Patient has been advised that the dormitory bathrooms are not ventilated enough to function safely as a dark room, even with the fans on. I've referred her to Miss Closure to see if there are any available rooms with proper ventilation she can use.I can only hope she listens.She still has yet to submit herself to a full body scan and, upon being pressed, has stated that she will only submit if she gets to choose who examines her and who has access to her medical records in any capacity. For once, she was quite vocal with somebody she had no previous contact with. It would be nice if she wasn't so apprehensive for once. She seems to be opening up to me, however.

Patient's job as a "post-catastrophe data recovery specialist" is apparently handled entirely offline. She has photos from Chernobog after the catastrophe. She was likely there during its occupation and even during its weaponization. Given this information, it is very likely that her infection has been caused and exacerbated by exposure to dangerous conditions through her recovery work and her inherent susceptibility.In somewhat less dire news, she has scheduled an appointment to have a full medical examination, so long as I'm the one performing it and so long as parts of her medical records can be sealed to all but me and administrative staff. I have forwarded this request to Medical Administrator Kal'tsit.
—Medical Operator MinaI am temporarily approving this barring any necessary precautions that may come up.

Parts of patient's medical records are available only pending approval from Medical Administrator Kal'tsit.Redacted, I am certain you are reading this. Your apprehension is as understandable as it is unwarranted. This is database is only accessible to Rhodes Island for a reason.
—Medical Administrator Kal'tsit[Unauthorized file access logged]Okay.

100%[Welcome back, Doctor Kal'tsit]Medical Operator Mina’s ReportAfter a lot of effort, mostly involving just offering an ear, I’ve managed to get close enough to Redacted to do a full exam. Her reported assimilation and crystal density values were pretty accurate and I’ve reported her actual values to Medical Administrator Kal’tsit for review. Despite how standoffish she can be, Redacted isn’t all that bad, I think she’s just suffering from a combination of loneliness and awkwardness.I promise this isn’t me editorializing, Kal’tsit, I have a greater point here.Redacted hates being touched. The oripathy crystals constantly digging into her skin as she moves make touching those spots painful, but she also suffers from a very clear case of haphephobia. The first time I tried to draw blood from her, she vomited from the stress of simply having me prep her arm. As she grew closer to me, symptoms lessened, and I believe that may be part of why she asked me to do her examination.There were a couple surprises while evaluating her blood work. She’s a Sarkaz, but only half. One of her parents was Caprinae, though she doesn’t know which, apparently having been separated from them at a very young age. Interestingly, we were able to peg her subrace as Gargoyle, certainly a rare site. It may also explain how her Arts are all uniquely centred around manipulating minerals. During one test, she successfully separated calcium, chromium, and magnesium from a sample of blood. The sample was, naturally, ruined but that’s a shocking degree of control.Another interesting discovery was under the bandages she keeps wrapped around the areas most affected by crystal growth on her body. They’re lined with a powerful analgesic, understandable given the pain, but it seems to be one of her own creation. She’s expressed reluctance at sharing the recipe, but I’m hopeful she’ll come around. It could be useful if we can find a way to produce it locally.To get further "under the skin," Redacted has a... coloured history that I've yet to be able to get to the bottom of, even if it is medically relevant. X-rays show, beyond just standard shadows around organs that can be expected from a patient with Oripathy as advanced as hers, that she has had numerous broken bones, though not recently. Given the bone density along certain areas, it's clear that she has broken both her arms (left: humerus, right: both ulna and radius), both legs (left: tibia, right: femur), and most of her ribs on the left side. The age of these injuries is unknown, and given how they've healed, they were likely treated by herself. She was aware of these injuries, but I know when a patient is purposefully witholding information. This may be related to her personal trauma.I’ve taken the liberty of prescribing her a single dose of methoxyflurane. She already has an inhaler for it and shows a clear understanding of how to use it. She also understands it’s exclusively for use in emergencies only. I think that, given the dangerous places her work takes her to, this is a prudent decision.Finally, it’s important to note that Redacted is a trans woman who has been self-medicating her hormone treatment for at least a year now. While she has kept her hormone levels in check on her own, I would like to have them formally prescribed by us so that we can better monitor things, purely from a patient care perspective. She wasn’t opposed to the idea when I brought it up, maybe even possibly relieved at the prospect of not having to manage another thing on her own. That is absolutely me editorializing, but I think my relationship as the current thing closest to a primary physician merits it.
Chief Medical Administrator Kal'tsit's NotesI understand why she wanted to keep this private. She's been through enough.Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system. All self-reported were shockingly accurate.[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 9.65%
Patient exhibits a concerning degree of Originium crystals all over her body, largely concentrated on her arms, thighs, and back. Rather than growing in large crystalline formations, Redacted's crystals grow outward, only to hook back inward, often piercing the skin. They are also much smaller, measuring less than 1mm across and 4mm long.To deal with the obvious pain caused by this, she keeps the affected areas wrapped in bandages lined with a powerful analgesic. Most people would be left numb enough to accidentally harm themselves at her dose, but she's declined further observation.[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.28u/L
Redacted should be under constant observation. Since she won't submit to such measures, I am recommending that medical or security staff subtly observe her whenever she is at Rhodes Island.Additional notes
Patient has been prescribed 8mg estradiol and 75mg cyproterone acetate. Due to her somewhat transient nature, she is to be given three months worth at a time. Be sure to monitor testosterone and estradiol levels during check ups.Chief Medical Administrator Kal'tsit's Notes, ExtendedI’m left with an increasing amount of questions when it comes to Redacted’s medical condition. I’ve had security staff observing her as well as taking regular inventory of her dorm while she’s away and have reached several conclusions about her condition.1. The patient’s oripathy is advanced, but not nearly as much as it should be
2. Given the progression of her oripathy, her use of Arts is obviously not self-channeled but she does not use a staff
3. With her reported age and stated age of infection, she should be bedridden if not dead. There are two possibilities here
◦ She has found a way to manage her infection in the long term
◦ She is lying
4. Continued exposure to originium has no effect on the progression of her oripathy. At first I thought this was because of the degree of care she takes in the field, but having now seen footage, that care would be best described as recklessAnother curiosity is something else we’ve found in her dorms. According to one member of security staff, she keeps a jar full of what have been determined to be oripathy lesions on her desk. Given their size and shape, they’re clearly her own, but they’re too pristine to have likely been surgically removed by herself and she hasn’t been scheduled for any treatment on that front.Nor would she be allowed to keep the remains if she was.
