Subject: Summary of Gehenna Medical Examination Report

This information is for Prefect Team executives only. Do not distribute copies of this document or disseminate information without written permission.

Please review the attached form for full details.

Basic Information

- The subject of this examination is Nelson, Advisor to the Federal Investigate Club Schale. Stated birthday is August 15 and her stated age is 25. Subject is a female self-described 'Human, Battleship Type'.

- This examination was undertaken to help establish the subject's baseline state of health.

Clinical Evaluation Notes

- Subject is 188 cm in height, recorded weight at time of examination is 338kg. Subject's weight is not in accordance with the measured body fat percentage.

- No abnormal physical or neurological traits discovered in evaluation.

- Subject maintains previous abnormal physical conditions in body temperature, skin composition, and heartbeat. Additional abnormal psychiatric and identifying marks discovered in evaluation. Bloodwork evaluation was not possible. See below.
- Subject body temperature remains at 30 c and has not fluctuated since field measurements.
- Skin remains magnetic but the subject has suggested the possibility of neutralizing this trait which indicates potential non-organic composition.
- Subject heartbeat remains non-standard to known human biology.
- Subject has hypertrophic scarring over lumbar vertebrae. Regular patterning indicates they are postoperative scars rather than injury. Subject has no knowledge of any historical surgery or injury in that area. Examination has not been able to discern the reason or need for surgery in that area.

- Subject's psychiatric state is considered abnormal by Kivotos Medical Council standards. However, the subject's physical and mental compositions are novel to Kivotos and were not a part of the considerations KMC used when establishing standards. Cultural considerations can also explain potential deviations from KMC standards.
- Subject exhibits traits analogous to a dissociative disorder, referencing distinct memory sets from her "crew". Subject expresses awareness that memory sets are distinct from her memories, but does not question the accuracy or validity of the memories presented to her.
- Subject exhibits signs of low self-esteem. Subject routinely downplays achievements, and has a distorted sense of comparative ability. A primary example is the Subject's belief that their physical capabilities are below that of most students. Please see below for measured findings on Subject's physical abilities.
- Subject has exhibited doubt as to whether they are human. Interactions with known abilities that affect humans have shown a reduced efficacy on the subject. It is plausible that they are not human even though they are humanoid and exhibit human-like traits.

Ability Findings Notes

- All information possessed by the Gehenna Emergency Medical Committee indicates that Adult Humans without halos should lack any notable abilities. It is not clear if this information is correct or not given the uncertainty over whether the subject is human or not.

- Subject possesses durability comparable if not in excess of most students.
- Subject suffers from minor injuries at a higher rate and ease than students. However, durability in regards to deep or serious physical trauma is significantly higher than most students.
- This observation is based on field evidence due to the difficulties and morality of purposely attempting to wound the subject to get an objective measure of durability.
- Subject's durability does not distinguish between hostile and friendly intent. Attempts to draw blood failed as tools were incapable of penetrating the dermis.

- Subject possesses physical strength that exceeds most students. Gehenna does not currently possess the facilities or equipment to measure the upper limit of baseline strength. Current evidence of strength includes:
- Subject did not display any difficulty in folding a 9mm thick armour plate.
- Subject managed to send a student airborne for 30 meters with a single strike.
- Subject revealed she is aware that she can damage reinforced concrete without use of tools.

- Subject has the ability to retrieve and use skills, knowledge, and information possessed by her "crew".
- Subject is capable of rapidly sorting and selecting this information while under stress.
- Subject possesses inconsistent knowledge about modern society. They can identify technology and equipment, but possess little to no knowledge of media or culture.

- Subject is capable of storing and retrieving belongings stored in an unknown pocket space.
- Attempts to send recording equipment into the space all failed to record. The lack of any recorded data suggests this space has limited stasis effects.

- The subject's possessions seem to benefit from enhanced durability. Actions which should damage or destroy an item either do not affect, or have a limited effect, on them.
- It is unknown if this only applies to items which they recognize as possessions or any item in their care.
- Examination of items provided by the subject have revealed no detectable evidence of such durability.

- The subject either does not know or has not noticed that their physical abilities increase with emotional distress.

- Subject claims the ability to create additional heavy equipment, and that their current lack of such equipment has led to their current perceived weak state.
- While the exact details of such heavy equipment have not been recorded, this examiner has firsthand eyewitness accounts of a partially successful attempt at manifesting this equipment.

Examiner Notes

There is no simple way to put it. Nelson-Sensei is not human as we understand it. At the low end of possibilities, she is an extensively modified human with significant esoteric, cybernetic, and genetic alteration. At the far end of possibilities, she is literally a conceptual being which has been granted a human form.

While her baseline capabilities can be measured, it is not possible or ethical to induce emotional duress in her for the sake of measuring the upper end of her capabilities. I don't doubt that we're only at her baseline. It's entirely possible that she has no upper end.

She's consistently expressed a hesitation in initiating violence. This hesitation is such that she was willing to even allow dangerous individuals escape if it would allow her to avoid conflict. This may be a cultural incompatibility, given what information we have on her and her home. A higher population of haloless adults which align with our understanding would make any violence potentially lethal.

This hesitation for initiating violence should not be misunderstood as a hesitation to engage in violence. She prefers decisive action once violence is inevitable and has the physical capacity to do so.

While Nelson is physically daunting, her skills at individual combat are only above average. She does not express the expertise in melee or firearms proficiency that some students possess. She doesn't have anywhere close to any of the esoteric abilities some students have. The upper echelon of students in Kivotos can match or beat her, but she can overwhelm the vast majority with pure durability and strength.

The GSC has suggested that she keep quiet about what she is, but I have my doubts about whether she will. She's forthright to a fault and I don't think she could even lie to a student if they asked. As it stands, it is best we try to continue building a rapport with her. She is unlikely to take hostile action against Gehenna unless we give her cause.

AN: Where the interludes are narrative pieces, meant to showcase the student's relationship with Nelson; we can consider the Informational chapters like this to be a real document within the setting of the world. For the lack of a better phrase, they are facts of the fiction. They establish the objective reality of the world and its inhabitants.

Make of this and the above text what you will.

FFN AN: I did some real fancy formatting and font work on the draft for this. Sadly, it all got eaten by FFN's text editor borking it all up.
