Chapter 7 - Subject 0336, the Slime

Name: Runi Doe Assignation: 0336, the Slime. Age: 16. Gender: F. Haircolor: Brown. Eyecolor: Green. Profession: None, Orphan. Initial Symptoms: Malnourishment, direct exposure to exposure to highly, unstable potions and chemical residue. Found in dumpsite Rejuvenate potion factory, where this young girl, lived and fell to a bath of Rejuvenate failed batches, survived being submerged in this bath, and was found by guards, and recovered from the potion mishaps. After the accident, she was immediately transferred to R.I.H. Arcana Menjum facility, attending doctor, Naomi Lin.

This is attending doctor, Naomi Lin...damn, she just a child...[Sniff, clear throat] I'm a senior member of this facility, assigned to a girl with only a first name, as she's confirmed a orphan, a street kid, from what the staff members that transferred here, have mentioned this girl barely answered a name Runi.

[Sigh] I'll note down, Runi Joe in her name, it wasn't needed James' examination to realized, that this girl is exposed to unstable, quite possibly hazardous potions and chemicals, that have been dumped, as chemical waste, a aftermath of Rejuvenate production.

Dr. James, assignated her Subject 0336, I don't need to do a initial examination, I already have some requests, a chemical cleansing bath, administration of IVs to strengthen her vitals, and nutrients, and finally some healing ward ring, around her bed, recuperating her strength, and keeping her alive during this critical time...[Sniff]...this is Dr. Naomi Lin, signing off.

DAY 10. After nine days, I can make some progress with Subject 0336, patient Runi, this will finally let me to have a sterole examination with the girl, as well as finally enter her room, as it took nine days, for the chemical to be cleanse from her body, and room.

The chemical substance, it was too risky to have direct contact with that chemical residue, soo special precautions have to be taken, and the poor girl was on her own...suffering.

I hope I'm not too late, and I can save her, but it too late in the day to help, and those of the decontamination unit, secure me, I can start treatments, so tomorrow, bright and early I'll go to Subject 0336 room and examine her, this is Dr. Naomi Lin signing off.

DAY 11. This is Dr. Naomi Lin, today is the day I'll finally meet, Subject 0336, her name is Runi Doe, right now I'm on my way to see the subject, face to face and perform a proper observation...[Clicking, giggling] Hmm, she's awake...wait she's able to laugh?

Report stated she was barely able to speak when they'd first brought her here, let alone be able to express joy...[Sniff]...I hope this isn't a bad sign.

[Giggling, laughing] [Door-hinch] Hello I'm...my God, are you okay!!? [Subject 0336 speaking] Hiya miss, what's wrong? [Dr. Lin speaking] You're not...you're not in pain? [Subject 0336 speaking] I'm not hurt, miss, I'm having fun, this place is soo clean, bright, and doesn't smell like my playground...but I'm lonely, and droopy.

Look, look my arm is droopy, drip, drip, drip. [Dr. Lin speaking] Sweetie, please lower your arm, and please stay put, as I bring someone to help me, check up you, okay? [Subject 0336 speaking] Okay...how boring, oohh, can you bring me something to eat, I've haven't eaten in forever!!! [Dr. Lin speaking] Yes, yes I'll get you something to eat, sweetie, just...[Sniff]...be good.

...

...

[Vomiting] [Background: Doctor Lin, are you okay do you need to lay down? Is your stomach well? Let me get some help] No, no, no...I'm...[Coughing]...I'm fine, just caught off guard, can you do me a favor, and call janitorial to clean this up? [Background: Okay, I'll be right back doctor, but please if you don't feel alright, I can have Miss Nightingale over, in a minute.] No like I said I'm fine...just please take care this.

...

...

Forgive me, I really wasn't expecting to see, what I see, Subject 0336 upon meeting her, she appears melting...her flesh is viscuos, almost like slime, but showing no sign of discomfort or pain...I'll also want to have Dr. Kimberten to check her mental health, as her voice, her mannerisms, and her personality...those aren't of a prepubescent girl, but a child, that doesn't make sense even with her upbringing.

This doesn't seem right to be, both physically and mentally, this subject...this girl, she's in greater trouble that what she shows...this is Dr. Naomi Lin, signing off.

Update File on Subject 0336, DAY 24 Name: Runi Doe Assignation: 0336, the Slime. Age: 16. Gender: F. Haircolor: Brown. Eyecolor: Green. Recorded Changes Psyche-Do to malnourishment, the mental degradation of the subject is basically insured, resulting in a teenage young girl, in the mental state of a child, in many levels, and persona. Skintone-Gaining some color degradation, into blue and green, along with a "melting" state, almost viscous skin, but without any show of discomfort or pain.

DAY 35. Good morning, this is Dr. Kimberten, I'm about to have another session with young Subject 0336, Runi Doe, all my therapy session with the girl, has proven a immaturity, not by common teen defying, both a combination of bad state of health and lack nurture.

[Door-hinch, humming] Hello Runi, how are you today? [Subject 0336 speaking] Good!! [Dr. Kimberten speaking] That great to hear, so how are you feeling? [Subject 0336 speaking] Bored...Mr. Kimbie, they won't play with me, or let me play with the drippies!! [Laughing] [Dr. Kimberten speaking] Runi, you know that you shouldn't do that, you could hurt yourself.

Remember your a young lady, you should listen to those that are trying to help you. [Subject 0336 speaking] Meanies, all grown-ups are boring, and meanies!! [Raspberry] All grown-ups, want Runi to be big, and grow up, that boring...all my friends, were taken and lose their fun.

Ohh, ohh can I play with Dante!? [Dripping] He soo nice, playing with me and making feel pretty, bringing me treasure, lookie he brought me this lace, around my neck!! [Giggling] He soo cool, and nice, I want him with me always, even making the drippies stop...[Dr. Kimberten speaking] What's wrong Runi, why are you sad now? [Subject 0336 speaking] Why is mean lady, not let me be with Dante, Mr. Kimbie? [Dr. Kimberten speaking] You know why, Runi. [Yelling, wailing] Runi, Runi calmed down.

Sit back down, and listen... [Subject 0336 speaking] No, no, no, nononono!! [Dripping] You meanie grown-ups, always make Runi do thing, Runi doesn't want to!! [Dr. Kimberten speaking] Please calm down, Runi, you have to listen... [Subject 0336 speaking] No!!! [Smash, grunt]

...

...

Ohhhhhh, my arm it stretched, Runi has powers, Runi can now do what Runi wants...Dante, Dante where are you? [Background: Doctor!! Are you alright, orderlies!! Call the ordelies, restrain her] Runi wants to play!!! [Smash, screaming] Play with Runi, take Runi to Dante now!!! (Audio cuts off)

Update File on Subject 0336, DAY 50 Name: Runi Doe Assignation: 0336, the Slime. Age: 16. Gender: F. Haircolor: Brown. Eyecolor: Green. Recorded Changes Psyche-Child like persona, has become more erratic, and dangerous, handle with care, along with watch her changing eating habits. Other Changes-Her body is become more slime like, gaining more blue, green, and also yellow coloring, losing some of the old body function, with her digestive system capable of consumption and digestion of various materials, gain elasticity, and morphing capabilities.

DAY 57. This is Dr. Naomi Lin, I believe that Subject 0336 has shown growing hectic and difficulty in interacting with her, after her attack on Dr. Kimberten, and several staff members, her body has continues to mutate, becoming similar to the very chemicals that she'd originally fell into, months ago.

Her malnourishment, has been taken care off by her own affliction, mutating to consume various materials...soil, stone, metal, and more, but what we've uncovered is a dangerous aftereffects of extreme consumption, the subject gain some of it quality, corrosive, adhesive, and toxic...but fortunately she hasn't uncovered how to control and use these abilities, her own mental degradation has proven a blessing for us.

The only ways to get, Subject 0336 cooperative is to play her games, feed her, or have Dante Noctis present to calm her down, and for some reason magically enable her own magical affliction, because of the growing threat of Subject 0336 having a complete mental breakdown, and seriously injured someone, extreme caution must be taken when dealing with her.

I'll compile a list of necessities of prevention and security, when dealing with the patient...no I mean Subject 0336, I doubt she'll understand, but I think she's too far unstable for psychological treatment, soo let's focus more on the physical, once things are more safe, we can help Runi adapt to actual puberty...this Dr. Naomi Lin, signing off.

DAY 70. Why did you do it, Runi!!? [Humming] Don't ignore me, you'd hurt that poor woman, she might never walk again, so you'll answer me!! [Giggling] Do you find this funny!!? [Subject 0336 speaking] Meanie Lin, finally get it!! [Dr. Lin speaking] Get what!!? [Subject 0336 speaking] Is was fun, Ruu wanted to play, mean lady said no, so Ruu played bouncies with her. [Dr. Lin speaking] Bouncies!!!!?

Listen to me, young lady you'd smashed a poor nurse, a mother, throwing down like a rag doll, you'd nearly tore off her leg!! [Subject 0336 speaking] Mommy...mean lady is a mommy? [Dr. Lin speaking] Yes, she has a little girl, smaller than you, and she might not be there for her, cause of what you'd done Runi.

Do you understand now? [Subject 0336 speaking] Ruu should have broke her. [Dr. Lin speaking] What...what did you, just say...no, no, no...[Sniff]...do you understand, what you've just said Runi? [Subject 0336 speaking] Yes Ruu does.

You grown-ups kill us, Ruu and kids!! [Thrashing] Force us, force Ruu to die, become grown-ups, why!!? [Dr. Lin speaking] Runi...what are you...that's part of life, you grow up, from a baby, to a child, to a... [Subject 0336 speaking] No next, Ruu and other stay kids, I'm like a sprite...a drippie, slimy sprite, Ruu protect kids, grown-ups are bad... [Sniffing] Grown-ups always hurt Ruu, chase Ruu, trying to take Ruu away from playground, Ruu's castle.

Look Ruu now, now Ruu can protect kids, like a real mommy. [Dr. Lin speaking] Mommy? [Subject 0336 speaking] Yep real mommies, protect kids, play with them, tell stories, let them be happy alway, no worry, just fun, food, and play always!!

Ruu can be a real mommy...[Gasp] Dante can be the daddy, Ruu and Dante can treat kid good and they'll never grow up, Ruu can make them kids forever. [Dr. Lin speaking] Runi, you... How would you, keep kids, kids? [Giggling] [Subject 0336 speaking] Coat them in my magic drippie, keep them in it, never will they grow up, and Ruu will be there to watch over them, sing them song, read stories, they'll never grow up, Ruu promise.

[Dr. Lin speaking] God...Runi...[Sniff, long breathe] Would you like some food, I'm hungry, I think you are hungry too? [Clapping] [Subject 0336 speaking] Yes, yes, yes Ruu tasted good things, crunchies from the black bags Mean Lin throw out, why, just give it to Ruu!! [Dr. Lin speaking] Black bag...ohh God Runi...[Clear throat] I don't think there's more of...those...but I'll bring you something better. [Background-Subject 0336: Awwww, I wanted the crunchies. Mean Lin, must bring something good to Ruu, don't lie to Ruu!!!]

Dear God, that's not a girl...that's not a human, she was honest...she'd really hurt people, kill people...did the chemical she was exposed off, cause this mental degradation?

I can't believe it, such a sweet girl...acting like murder is a nonchalant act, and she has eaten...God, I have to report this, Subject 0336 is much more dangerous than any of us thought she was capable...[Sniff, crying, sigh]...Dr. Naomi Lin signing off...

This is Dr. Reese Colton, I finally managed to get all the needed slime samples from Subject 0336, it ability to change its properties and the possibilities of these samples are limitless, new and safer method to produce acid, stronger and safer glue sources, and the toxin in this slime could lead to a great antivenom.

While risky to obtain these sample, if I manage to prove my hypothesis correct, the resources wasted in treating these subjects, is better suited to use them for advancement of much more than Rejuvenate, I have some connections with the engineering unit, if they can help me with this experiment, I might create a revolutionary line of adhesives, acids, and much more.

James...you might be my golden goose, you're trust, has granted me access to the pillars of my future, eternal legacy...so thank you, old friend, Dr. Reese Colton signing off.
