Post-Deployment Clinical Assessment
Colonial Fleet Medical Corps
Myrmidon-Class Subject: Peshlakai, Aditi “Adi” Nizhóní
Service ID: MYR-9928-DELTA
Date: REDACTED Classified
1. RECOVERY SUMMARY
Subject underwent a Level 4 Cocytus Dialysis Scrape following acute exposure to Screamer-Vant neuro-gas. The Aegis-Flow Myogenic Bioware Mesh performed within the 98th percentile for toxin sequestration; however, the physiological cost of the Overclock event was severe. Subject required 16 hours of immersion in the Hyper-Osmotic Recovery Tank to resolve secondary stage-three edema in the major nodes.
2. BIOMECHANICAL TOLL
While the Aegis-Flow prevents immediate fatality, the long-term data indicates significant "systemic fatigue" in Subject Peshlakai’s biological architecture:
- Node Fibrosis: The synthetic sentinel nodes in the axillary and inguinal regions are showing signs of permanent scarring (fibrosis). Each Bio-Seizure event hardens the honeycomb lattice, slightly reducing future filtration efficiency by an estimated 2.4% per event.
- Renal Strain: Despite the Cocytus Rig’s efficiency, the subject’s kidneys processed trace amounts of denatured neuro-toxin sludge. We are observing persistent elevated levels of serum creatinine. If current operational tempo continues, subject may require permanent synthetic kidney replacement within 18 months.
- Metabolic Debt: The subject’s natural ATP production is struggling to keep pace with the bioware's idle power draw. We are observing Early-Onset Myrmidon Burnout, characterized by persistent micro-tremors and a baseline resting heart rate of 110 BPM.
3. PSYCHOSOMATIC OBSERVATIONS
Subject exhibits signs of Sensory Ghosting. She reports feeling the pulse of her lymphatic mesh even when at rest. This tactile hallucination is a common precursor to Bioware-Rejection Syndrome, as the brain struggles to integrate the aggressive active-pumping of the LF-9 system with the body’s natural rhythm.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
- Mandatory Downtime: Subject must be restricted from high-G environments for 14 days to allow lymphatic pressure to normalize.
- Pharmacological Adjustment: Increase Tidal Salt dosage by 15% to offset chronic electrolyte leaching.
- Warning: Subject is approaching the "Red-Line." One more un-mitigated Overclock event within the next 90 days carries a 60% probability of total systemic collapse.
The "Red-Line" Symptom Checklist
This list is used to self-diagnose when the subject is "running hot." If the subject checks more than three, the subject is one fight away from a total system crash.
- Copper Tongue: A persistent metallic taste that doesn't go away, even after brushing. Signifies the Aegis-Mesh is leaching synthetic catalysts into the subject's saliva.
- Phantom Pumping: Feeling a rhythmic thumping in the armpits and/or groin that doesn't match the subject's heartbeat. Signifies the bioware is searching for toxins in a clean system.
- Chemical Sweat: Subject's sweat begins to smell like a mixture of bleach and ozone. This is the stink mentioned in medical logs; it means the subject's skin is acting as a secondary filter because the nodes are full.
- Blue-Line Vision: A slight cyan tint at the edge of the subject's peripheral vision. This is a sign of high ocular-lymphatic pressure. If the tint turns red, the subject's retinas are at risk of detachment.
- Heavy-Bone Walk: Feeling like the subject's skeleton is made of depleted uranium. Signifies that the osmotic balance in the subject's bone marrow is failing.

A Hidden Detail
In the margins of the digital report, there is a handwritten note from the MFNS Hecate's Chief Medical Officer:
"Adi is a warrior, but we’re turning her blood into industrial runoff. She’s starting to smell like a chemistry lab even after she showers. Keep an eye on her—she won't tell us when she’s hurting until the mesh finally snaps."
The Emergency Fix
Some Myrmidons carry a "break glass in case of emergency" recipe for a black-market cocktail they call "The Grey Ghost." When the Myrmidon's nodes are too swollen to move but they have to drop back into a hot zone, they mix:
- Industrial anticoagulant (usually stolen from ship’s maintenance)
- Double-dose Lympha-Stat
- 4-5 Apex Burn-Brite Chews (from a Myrmidon Apex Ration Pack)
- Artificial adrenaline (easily available on the street)
- A dangerous, and possibly deadly drug combination of Vinarotipultide, Troplesidan, and Arilacalcioctacog
