Department of Medicine[]
During the Quid Pro Quo case, Charles Reed requests the analysis of a substance found in the EOD's fish storage. Samuel, a student, tells him that the basement first has to be cleared of wylebeasts. Down there, Charles finds that the basement is used to dissect and experiment on them, due to the presence of a dead Stygian and Acheronian. If the red button is pressed, the latter jumps back to life, pressing the button provides the player with the "Reanimator" achievement.
Experiment log, part one Basement, next to the discected stygian.
- March 2nd. I have finally received a living specimen. Sadly it's only the smallest one. The grunts call it "Mr. Handsome", but I think it needs a proper name. - March 3rd. Was thinking about the name of the specimen all night. I've benug a series of experiments on the creature. So far it has proven exceptionally resistant to all the poisonous substances at my disposal as well as acid and electrocution. It's shrieking, though, is bound to haunt me. - March 5th. Last night I had a vision. Thousands of hands wrapped around me as a blanket and I heard the name inside my head: Stygian Harvester.
Experiement log, part two: basement next to the Acheronian.
- March 10th. With those pesky limitations remived I can finally continue my experiments unhindered. I need to know more! The specimen remained alive even with half of its internal organs removed. It's facinating. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough in biology as we know it! - March 15th. I developed a way to reanimate their tissue, even in one that's been dead for weeks. This is... monumental. The possibilities of it, the implications! Does this hint at something hidden, some trait present inside other creatures, and perhaps even ourselves? I will need to find volunteers.
Draft of an article: first floor, Cavendishes office on desk
Brothers and Sisters! (crossed out) Too familiar My fellow Americans! (crossed out) Theya are americans too Citizens of Oakmont! How much longer will we put up with those fish-faced bast (crossed out) How much longer will we put up with this? Those Kay-forsaken degenerates who call themselves the EOD (crossed out).
Note from Prof. Westerbrook first floor, Westerbrooks desk
This is absurd. It's been five months and they still haven't finished repairing my office! I' done sitting in the corridor like some kind of waiter! I won't step foot into this building again until the works are finished, or you can give me Cavendish's office. You tell that to the board. I'm through with this farce. Westerbrook
