The Transferability of Surgical Skills into the Profession of Murder
I think the chip took hold again. No I don't think, i know..... but, its best I don't dwell on it for too long; even letting my thoughts drift down that path for a moment brings on a sickening pain.
Pain I'm afraid has become my constant companion in this miserable place. The little foray into espionage was not the opportunity for excitement and rebellion that I had envisaged. We achieved what was asked of us although I have deep concern that the price was simply too high. For one who prides himself of cleanliness in mind and body I now carry stains that cannot be removed. The work on my shoulder was exemplary, of course it was, I carried out the surgery myself! But then you see that very same skill is now responsible for the death of an innocent. Let us revisit shall we? The skills of a surgeon, turned to espionage and then twisted once more to become a bringer of death:
Intellect - A finely honed mind, with the observation and keen insight that despite the anger and frustration knew precisely what it was doing.
Precision - The cut was clean, too clean, a scalpel edge incision that would have too easily led back to my nanotech. I had to "dirty" the wound, I had to try and cover my tracks.
Technological Insight - My own hand could not have inflicted such a wound. Aphrodite gifted this technology to me to save lives not to end them.
Subtlety and Diplomacy - ............
Ruthlessness - well, yes... I think this one writes itself doesn't it.
I swore an oath when I began my medical studies to abstain from intentional wrong-doing and harm. It would be easy to blame the chip, easy to blame circumstance and the "heat of the moment" yet in truth I know I acted with malice aforethought. He had a family, friends, he loved and was loved in return and I not only ended that but caused such trauma that will ripple across generations. I know this, I may not have facts to support it but deep down I just know.
This stain.... this is one I am going to have to learn to live with. I am resolved now though that I cannot continue to live with the chip. It must be... I have to.... I.....
Dr. Newton Weiss's Journal Ordered oldest to newest
The major events and journals in Dr. Newton Weiss's history, from the beginning to today.
The security of this facility is unusually lax in many places. It is almost as if they realise "prisoners" have nowhere to run....
07:51 pm - 15.03.2019I have an odd feeling that a significant amount of time has passed without my knowing!
07:26 pm - 15.03.2019The blue high elf in charge "Blue Requiem" wants us to work with her. I hope this can be a mutual arrangement rather than servitude. We need a strong UV light source to progress further and she seems to have the resources to arrange this, the price to pay will be..... acceptable.
10:59 pm - 25.01.2019Despite outside appearances the selection of drinks has something as close to wine as i have had for months. It may have an "unusual" texture but..... it is delicious!
10:23 pm - 25.01.2019The Jolly Rancor - gnome owned- it hurts my eyes - seems to be a gang hangout of some kind
10:12 pm - 25.01.2019The wall of thickets is repelled by the light of the flame, not from the burning itself. A path way started to form. We will keep this information away from the bureaucracy and continue to further explore this avenue when more time is permitted.
09:38 pm - 25.01.2019Perhaps my opinion of Thedoras was somewhat premature, yes he may be dangerous but more so in a manner which I can appreciate. There is scope for subversion of the status quo here.
09:21 pm - 25.01.2019Bureaucracy will be the end of me. The fool Fierymale cannot see the potential to improve upon their crude and expensive methods.
09:19 pm - 25.01.2019The fauna is not being "burnt away" it is retreating from the pain
09:05 pm - 25.01.2019Over the noise of the burning it almost sounds like the foliage is experiencing pain. When i got close it seemed to "notice" me...... I am not entirely convinced that this is just simple plant life. I have had experience before of the medical implementation of the properties of carnivorous plants, there is opportunity here for research......
09:01 pm - 25.01.2019Toolbagz of Holding has the perfect container and tape to hold and seal several samples of the local fauna.....
08:57 pm - 25.01.2019.....I'm not sure that he does
08:44 pm - 25.01.2019Morbitz is a curious and most fascinating creature. He has the intelligence of a small child with the same naivete and odd kindness. He now also pilots a walking fireball....... I'm hopeful he knows what he is doing....
08:39 pm - 25.01.2019Im expected to wield a flamethrower, this is absurdly crude..... and bizarrely quite enticing.....
08:31 pm - 25.01.2019We should be wary of Thedoras, he seems to have an obsession with fire, in a place such as this that poses a grave danger.
08:25 pm - 25.01.2019The creatures in the jungle attack and flee. They may have a level of intelligence..... I hope I have the opportunity to examine this unknown form of lifes anatomy.
08:24 pm - 25.01.2019We are all on the burn gang.....of course we are......who could need the skills of an incredibly talented neurosurgeon in a backwater such as this??
08:19 pm - 25.01.2019The burn gangs clear undergrowth that regenerates daily. There are creatures in the jungle that are swift and dangerous. As of yet unidentified. Many have suffered injuries.
08:06 pm - 25.01.2019Air Conditioning Serviced
07:52 pm - 25.01.2019Battol Fierymale - dwarven linen wearer - he doesnt care about Morbitz.
07:38 pm - 25.01.2019The list of amazing people following the adventures of Dr. Newton Weiss.
