Doctor,

I have new orders for you directly from the Grande Maréchale. Ansel Xavier, a former Maréchal of the Royal Navy and useful soldier, is in a rather worrying condition. Therefore, you are to proceed immediately to New Paris in order to start with Xavier's treatment. It shouldn't be a problem for you to deal with different patients for once.

Also keep in mind that this is a higly classified order. All reports about the treatment are to be sent to me and the Grande Maréchale.

Colonel,

While it will take me a while to conduct a full analysis of Xavier's situation...reading de-classified reports about his condition allow me to make some guesses, however.

Xavier is exhibiting a dependency on Cardamine, the Outcast drug. How he got it, I don't know...but the symptoms are similar. That, coupled with a festering wound is leading to his body weakening in several respects. A lower blood count and weakening muscle tissue are chief among them. I'm mildly surprised he's held out for this long, frankly.

As a preliminary, I'll need a fair amount of blood. Type AB Negative, to be exact. A few stem cells of his genome to kickstart tissue regeneration and...some Cardamine. I believe he's become dependant on the drug, so that might be a crucial component in his recovery.

That'll be all.

That's very interesting, Doctor. I suggest that you start your work as soon as possible. As for the requested items, everything except the Cardamine is prepared and at your disposal once you arrive. However, it might take some time for us to get the necessary units of Cardamine.

Consider it as one of your secondary tasks to find out when and how Monsieur Xavier got access to that drug. Grande Maréchale Quétineau wants to know everything about it.

Doctor Cordeau,

We have just been informed that the Cardamine was delivered to Battleship Guillestre in the Tau-23 system. It is now being transported to New Paris and should arrive there soon.

Please inform us if you need anything else for Xavier's treatment.
