Into The Rose Garden (Seidou x Kanae/Karren)

Chapter Nineteen - Entry

Entry #1: I just finished surgery for all sixty-four investigators, just as we planned. Currently, having them incubated, watching their progress. Now hopefully, the chances of getting a living and healthy specimen should be more likely. Will update our progress as we continue this, and check in on stability for each and every one. Logging off now.

 Entry #2: It has been five days now, and so far...six bodies has either passed away or has become greatly deformed. Tatara is upset of course, but I can't blame him. The first time I had these kind of results, I too felt perplexed. However, after explaining the process we're going through, he stood down.

Entry #3: Two more days have passed, and two more investigators are now deceased. I speculate that certain investigators have diverse times for their bodies to react this way and reject the ghoulification process. Again we just have to wait, test each body and see their chances of survival. Logging off.

Entry #4: I have fascinating news! Only a day has passed and we found almost every single investigator to be at a critical level. However, there is one that appears to be at a healthy level! His tank level indicates his heartbeat to be at a normal and healthy rate. His blood was quickly extracted, and it's at a good level with iron and antibodies, perfectly healthy! His breathing is just right as well! So far, he seems the most likely, but it's better safe than sorry, and we need to keep an eye on him. Heh...he really wasn't what I had in mind, but this is great...wonderful even! Owl-15...

Entry #5: I've been doing some research on our mystery 'dove', and now I know what to call him now. His name is Seidou Takizawa, a rank two, second within his class year. He seems fine, well in shape. Looking through his records, some things had caught my eye. He was an exceptional runner, got work done and provided extra help. Sounds pretty promising, however...much work is needed for what we need out of him.

Entry #6: Three days have passed, Takizawa is still looking healthy. This could be promising, still watching him however. And we lost seven more bodies. They are still alive, though barely, seeing how they've...developed. Will update if there is anything of note, logging off.

Entry #7: Takizawa is perfect! His health hasn't changed in the past few days, I believe he's ready to leave his tank. So perhaps I should introduce myself? What do I say? He'll probably be very confused, so I guess I'll have to explain some things to him. It only seems fair, and it's not like I have to explain it to a dozen of them. This will be quite the turn of events, I wonder what he'll be like.

Entry #8: I met him, it went smoothly, well...for myself at least. Honestly, I wish I can feel for the kid. It can't be easy for him to wrap his head around it. I'm giving him a moment to calm himself down, then...I check his vitals and samples. I might require the assistance of a willing female. I'd do it myself, however retrieving one of the samples makes me feel...uneasy. Admittedly, the concept of it is...grotesque. However, the other tests and samples I can surely do myself. They're not a problem.

Entry #9: The samples I've gathered from Takizawa show what I suspected... I may have transferred the aspect of a ghoul into him, allowing him to reject human food and make his rc levels increase incredibly, however he is still indeed human. His DNA is still one hundred percent human, meaning...possible offspring will carry that with them. Interesting...very interesting. Maybe this could come in handy, if the need arises.

 Entry #10: Takizawa had either a mental breakdown or a panic attack, in either case, he attempted an escape and Tatara acted quickly. *Sigh* We need to watch him a little more closely next time, though...it's very unlikely he'll be trying that little stunt again. He's currently resting within his cell; I'll have to have a word with him once he's awaken, and I'll...have to take measures into my own hands, to really ensure he doesn't attempt it any time soon. He's starting to remind me of a puppy...a helpless and terrified puppy, too weak and trapped to actually do anything, but still tries out of instinct and desperation to. Logging off.
