I may have located an anomaly with similar readings to the woman who attacked my lab, but the signal is weak and the area is still wider than I would like. Instruments have had to be entirely converted to work strictly in the world of the living. That has become problematic on top of having difficulties triangulating the energy signature enough to pinpoint it, precisely.

This is the area in question: [coordinates]

If the readings are at all correct - which if I made it, they are - we should find the thief there.

Backdated to a day after this log

>> There was an incident. Canaan couldn't turn it off until she became exhausted
>> They're normal right now. Like she doesn't have anything wrong, except they ache.

>> You'll receive a location

>> Up for some excitement this weekend?

Mayuri

>> Question
>> Do you think Canaan is up for strenuous physical activity?
>> That sounds wrong
>> Of the infiltration and fighting sort.

>> I'm still trying to convince Canaan to meet you.
>> But there is a more pressing concern at the moment
>> Have you seen these people who have...well they're now other people?

Canaan

Hi! I was directed to talk to you by Motoko Kusanagi. I'm a scientist and electrician and I offered assistance to her should she ever need it. I am not sure if I can be of assistance, but, there it is.

>> When do you want to see me?
>> I also have an unusual request but I have to convince her first.

My body is malfunctioning. It's an effort just to type this much. Do you think it's related to what everyone else is talking about?

To: Alma Wade, former capable volunteer lab assistant.

You must be having a hyper-accelerated pregnancy or that thing within you is manifesting with greater intensity.

There are ghostly child-sized shadow people skipping through my lab. It's very distracting. I've had one employee quit because of phantom screeching and another one tried to gouge their eyes out with lab utensils because he lacks a backbone when it comes to all things paranormal. So for the sake of science and continuing my projects and experiments, tell that parasite within you to stop causing havoc, immediately, or I'll find a way to erect a containment barrier so that I can properly rip their ghostly molecules apart study them.

Thank you for your semi-cooperation,

Dr. Kurotsuchi Mayuri
Lead Scientist, SRDI.

To all SRDI employees, temporary or permanent,

With the help of a capable lab assistant, we are making great strides in lengthening life expectancy by a number of days with the last rounds of test subjects. I believe we are onto a mix of known medicinal compounds that can slow down some of the severity of the virus. It is not a cure, by any means or definition. There will still be casualties if a cure is not found. I am forwarding information and data to Stark Industries and the persons responsible for making the inhalers.

If any of you should contract this and die, it was part of your employment agreement that I get to dissect you, as you signed your bodies over to science. I would like to thank you prior to your demise for your contribution, and express my condolences that you never had the chance to use your non-cumulative yearly vacation time, or dip into your 401k or pension plans.

I would also like to state that there is going to be a new company policy being retroactively activated. If you are a permanent or temporary employee of the lab and happen to be impregnated, you are required to submit an amniotic fluid sample. Please schedule a time within the next 72 hours and I will look forward to coming at you with a very long needle.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and hard work,

M. Kurotsuchi,
president and lead scientist, Shinigami Research & Development Institute

Test group #1 is dead due to acute respiratory distress and subsequent respiratory failure. I have been administering antibiotics and concoctions of various medicines to alleviate breathing difficulties to the rest of the test groups. I'm also infecting new groups, so that it can be done in a stepped process to see if there is any difference when things are administered during viral progression.

At the very least, perhaps we can determine if it will stall the virus at some point, but results are not promising thus far. No changes. The data from group #1 from infection to cessation of life, is contained in the attachment, below.

Ollie:

That college offer? It still stand? Can we get me in for January still?

Clint:

I'm not shooting at my best and don't know how to fix it. Can I come have you bitch at me?

Dr. Mad Science:

So far, so good with the arm. I've been having some psychological stuff going on with forgetting it's there still, and defaulting to the left, but when I remember I'm not feeling a phantom limb, it's amazing.

The arm is actually better than it was when it was amputated. I'd had some shoulder problems from getting shot and stabbed there the last couple years, and those are gone. Of course, so's my muscle definition and I've had to take practices slow, but I'm getting back up there and so far so good.

Wrex:

The new improved ranch have room for a part time instructor to start in January?

Interested in someone with some relevant experience?

Zevran:

This sounds kinda stereotypically gay, but...wanna go see the Nutcracker and then dinner? Also, I love you. Thanks for putting up with me.

To the test subject whom it may concern,

I would like to arrange a face-to-face meeting to discuss and outline any future procedures. If this is satisfactory, then respond and we can set an appointment.

My work is nearly complete and I see that you are no longer incarcerated. Are you still interested in my proposition? We can set up a time next month, to experiment with cutlery see if the results are satisfactory after a (or several) trial runs.

One must wonder how difficult it would be to get a sample of a green giant.

Perhaps he's skinned a green giant knee on a building. Hmm.
