Chapter 4,5 – Incident

Log 004. July 12, 2002.

'This is codename Fortis, one of codename Sol's assistants. Subject Musco has died. It seems that the lack of substance E in the body of codename Orsus has driven the subject to kill him. The exact circumstances and reason are still unknown, further investigation is being conducted right now. It is possible that the lack of substance W in codename Musco's body also has something to do with this.'

It is silent for a few seconds, the person calling himself codename Fortis seems to have lost control over his voice.

'The pace substance E is forming inside codename Orsus's body has slowed down even more. This is very fortunate. If we investigate the incident for a week, it will take only a week and a half to completely drain subject's body of E. If the incident is caused by the lack of substance W in subject Musco's body, however, it is possible that we will have to stop draining Orsus's body of substance E too, as it may be equally dangerous. Further experiments with substance I will have to be cancelled completely.'

Footsteps are heard. Two people, probably male, are speaking in the distance. Apart from their conversation, which is not understandable through this file, nothing is heard for approximately half a minute.

'This is codename Sol. We were able to reanimate subject Musco. The subject is currently in coma. Also, codename Orsus has been able to provide us with some answers. It seems the subject was outside his capsule and wanted to stop our experiments. He felt that killing the test subjects would put us in a difficult situation, especially considering it is impossible for us to obtain new ones. So, the subject turned off the machine providing oxygen to subject Musco. As we know now, of course, the alarm went off and we were able to get him out of his capsule just in time to save him. We were unable to find a pulse for some time, though, so it is possible codename Fortis thought he had died.'

It is silent for a few more minutes. Some typing can be heard in the distance, but it can be assumed codename Sol is staying in the same place.

'Unfortunately, this will delay the experiments. Unless codename Musco wakes up, we will have to use another test subject. Estimated time now seven weeks to codename Chaos.'
