John, Hans.
I'm afraid there is a distinct possibility that celebration may be... rescheduled. I must apologise for that, but incidents are quite unforeseeable.
But this was not the meaning of my contact, no, I need your possible medical expertise and I must inquire with how experienced you may possibly be regarding psychic ailments and afflictions?
I need someone to do a highly classified psycho analysis report on one of my companions, who was recently afflicted by a form of psionic imprint.

Hi Raven!
No need for apologies. The situation sounds serious, so it is absolutely understandable that celebrations are no top priority right now.
To give you a straight and honest answer...I'm afraid I can offer only limited assistance, if any at all.
Psychology and psychotherapy are, unfortunately, not my fields of expertise. Although highly valuable when dealing with humanitarian crisis, MedForce has specialists for such cases, which leaves training for the rest of the staff in these regards a secondary concern.
On the other hand, what I /may/ be able to take care of, is a potential somatic cause of psychological afflictions. Physical trauma, like lesions, infections, clots and so on, may cause psychological fallout. As well as a change in the metabolic or biochemical mechanics. A more detailed analysis of the patient is, of course, needed to see if such factors are present or not...but as long as it can be diagnosed and treated via medical, biological or genetic means, count me in. Or in any other way I can help.
Hopefully Doc is able to assist further in the psychological field...
No matter, I believe a full bio test and further study is required. The mental state can affect the physical, and I must see how much of his biology has been affected from this bonding to a power cell.

Good to hear from you again, Raven,
I am sorry we cannot have a celebration but all good things in time.
I am not well versed in psychology or medical sciences of the mind but I have CC'd this transmission to my new head of mental health, Dr. Isabella Saito. She is very qualified and has been doing a stand up job to this point. With you approval, perhaps she could participate as well? She would best be able to help you.
I do have another matter that I would like to speak with you about. It seems I have some of your old cyberware in our storage. I would like your feelings on us possibly continuing with it. But, we can talk privately about that later.
