Evenin' folks,

We've just managed to offload the client we spoke about in Kepler onto Ames Research Station's hangar bay, along with his medical records and the footage we discussed previously. In this comm channel, I've decided to refer to him as "John Doe" to preserve his identity among those who might be listening. Just a precaution I like to use, a personal habit of mine when we're talking about very sensitive cases like this. Anywho, I'll be transmitting the files now. Here's what I could salvage from the medical report:

Spoiler

The following is a report given by Doctor [REDACTED] regarding Patient #701's condition following the attack by [REDACTED] on March 17th, 823 AS.

The subject appears to have sustained heavy damage to nearly every part of his body. It has been very difficult to truly estimate the extent of the damage without running into any complications, but from what we could tell, this is what we have been able to identify from his injuries:

• - Extensive lacerations all along the torso, neck, and face. Lacerations vary in depth and damage. A number of these lacerations have penetrated his internal organs and have most likely caused severe damage to his respiratory, digestive, and cardiovascular organ systems.
  
  - Numerous rib fractures. Pelvic fractures. Clavicle fractures. Multiple vertebrae fractures. Coccyx fracture. Multiple skull fractures. Jaw fractures.
  
  - All four robotic limb prostheses torn apart and rendered inoperable. Extent of nerve damage difficult to estimate at this time.
  
  - Left eye severed from socket, burns and cuts present around and inside socket. Right eye deemed fairly intact.
  
  - Numerous minor lacerations on face. Left side of face sports deeper vertical laceration.
  
  - Brain seems to have miraculously sustained little to no damage. Spinal cord status unknown. Concussions
  
  

The lighter amount of damage to his spinal cord and brain, despite multiple fractures, can be attributed to the cybernetic prostheses helping to reinforce the regions. Subject #701's chances of prolonged survival seem dubious at best. Even if he does manage to live, we lack the sufficient technology and resources to rehabilitate the patient and compensate for his injuries. We have fortunately stabilized his condition and are awaiting orders on what to do. Security protocol after [REDACTED]'s escape may prevent immediate aid. We will do our best to keep [REDACTED] alive.

This was really the most I could salvage from their report. It ain't much, but it's all I got on our mutual friend here. Hope it comes in handy. We'll be moored on Ames for a while before I need to move out and complete more runs. Gotta keep bread on the table somehow, you know? I'll be back later to assist with any financial or other considerations John Doe'll need my assistance for. Until then, I hope you guys are able to fix him up well.

See ya later, guys.
