Email 19: RE: HAVE MY PEOPLE BEEN COMING TO YOU?

From: Evelyn McCarthy
To: Sylvain Bellamy
Cc:

Dr. Bellamy,

At this point Morgan's exhaustion is inhibiting our ability to get any useful results. That's to say nothing of the long-term damage we're likely inflicting from the constant Neuromod installation and removal. Tell me again why we've extended the testing indefinitely?

Email 20: RE: HAVE MY PEOPLE BEEN COMING TO YOU?

From: Mathias Kohl
To: Sylvain Bellamy

Syl,

Yes, I've noticed the same thing. You know I can't divulge names, but there's definitely been a spike in staff from your department reporting instances of acute anxiety. It's actually much worse with the Psychotronics staff. I'm talking to Kelstrup about mitigating some of the stress there, but I'm concerned these are not isolated incidents. Going to mention it to Alex at the next director's meeting.

Mathias Khol

Email 21: RE: SIMULATION QUESTION

From: Marco Simmons
To: Alice Aiken

Hey Alice,

I'll send you the white paper Alex and Morgan wrote. Here's the nutshell version for now:

Gaining a new skill from a Neuromod works similar to the way your brain creates new memories. In fact, it's impossible (for now) to separate the changes the mod makes from normal memory formation. So if I want to strip the Neuromod that makes you play piano like Gustav Leitner, it'll reset your brain back to the moment before you first installed it.

They wanted Morgan's mind pristine to receive the prototype. Neuromods. That means going waaaay the hell back. Hence the apartment sim. Yus are dedicated to their science is all I can say.

Hit me up for lunch later

- Simmons

Email 22: RE: IGWE'S TALK

From: Hadley Dalton
To: Caleb Hawethorne
Cc:

Tell me about it. I don't know what scares me more, the time Dr. Wiggy spends in the lab or when he takes the stage. It's like listening to a metronome.

From: Caleb Hawethorne
To: Hadley Dalton
Subject: Igwe's Talk

I'd join you in the cafeteria, but Igwe's got a lecture scheduled. Here's hoping he gets right to the Neuromod updates so we can do a proper eval on the tech side, but you know Igwe, he'll go Zener on us for an hour until we're all seeing circles and wavy lines. You'd think he would have learned Earthside to stay focused.

Email 23: NEED SECURITY ESCORT

From: Alex Yu
To: Sarah Elazar
Cc: Marco Simmons

I know you probably have your hands full right now, but we need you to send a security detail to detain Demetri Bowser. He witnessed the incident and he's pretty shaken. We're just not sure how stable he is at the moment. Make an assessment and hold him indefinitely if necessary. Use direction.

- Alex Yu

Email 24: SOMETHING'S ON THE STATION

From: Elias Black
To: Sarah Elazar
Cc:

Ma'am

You know I went to the doctor about sleep and all that. I got pills but still been seeing things. After game night I was cleaning up and a chair moved by itself. I'm not crazy like you know who. I'm sending this cause just after the alert I heard something in the vent over security. I thought I saw something black up there. We need to check this out cause I'm starting to think there's something on the station that we don't know about.

Sec. Officer Elias Black

Email 25: ILYUSHIN

From: Alex Yu
To: Sarah Elazar
Cc:

Please add Mikhaila Ilyushin to the watchlist. While she's currently performing her duties, her condition makes for a potential security risk and we may need leverage.

Her access should be restricted to work and crew facilities. Please don't let her anywhere near the labs.

Also, flag any communications between her and Dr. Gallegos out of Psychotronics. Medical is beginning to suspect she has White Noise, so the fact she falsified her records may be enough.

Normally, I'd advocate Neuromod removal, but her condition prevents this. Keep me apprised.

Email 26: MISSING KEYCARD

From: Alex Yu
To: Sarah Elazar
Cc:

Sarah - I need your help tracking down a missing keycard. This should be one of your highest priorities. It's labeled EP101. Let me know as soon as you find anything.
