Hellsing Fan Fiction ❯ Hellsing Goes American - Cat's Medical Notes ❯ October 3, 1988 - June 26, 1995 ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
This is.. well, I won't say a side-story.. more like just some extra information for the story "Hellsing Goes American". It CAN be read alone (although it's kind of confusing that way), same with "Abraham Von Hellsing's Journals" (also an extra for "Hellsing Goes American" but not confusing when read alone), and the story it's self.. this is just for if you want more info to try and figure out what's going on before it's revealed in the story. I've left out all the boreing crap usually found in medical records (heart rate, blood pressure, &c.) and just left the important stuff: The notes made by the doctors. ... The writing styles change throughout the piece without notice as some doctors are killed, some are fired, some are transfered, and what not. Please forgive the spelling, I know it's terrible. =T__T=

ALSO: I do NOT own Hellsing or anything else mentioned in this fic except for the subject of the experiment, Candice Welsh. I've tried to get specific details as acurate as possible by researching the stuffs, but it's likely that there's still some screw-ups so don't take anything as absolute truth IRL..

This was requested by my babies, Riko and Namari. Love y'all! (and of corse I love Umi, Minoru, Saiyuri and Azuki as well! even though they aren't allowed to read the main story [save for Umi, she just doesn't care for this kind of stuff] I still want to say that!)

6/30/91

SUBJECT HAS BEEN RELEASED TO GO BACK TO HER CARETAKERS.

10/5/92

SUBJECT HAS BEEN ADMITTED BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL AFTER GOING BERZERK AND KILLING A TEACHER AND FIVE CLASSMATES IN HER PRESCHOOL CLASS. THE VATICAN HAS GIVIN A STORY TO THE PRESS THAT IT WAS A WILD ANIMAL THAT HAD SOME HOW GOTTEN INTO THE BUILDING AND ATTACKED. SUBJECT IS CURENTLY IN AN INDUCED COMA FOR OUR AND HER PROTECTION.

INTERESTING NOTES: SUBJECT DISPLAYED IMMENSE STRENGTH AND SPEED BOOST - OFFICERS HAD A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE CAPTUREING HER
PHISICAL CHANGES ALSO DISPLAYED - EYES CHANGED COLOR AND TEETH BECAME SHARPER AND SLIGHTLY ELONGATED

10/7/92

SUBJECT REFUSES TO TALK TO ANYONE AND ONLY YELLS AT THE DOCTORS TO STAY AWAY FROM HER. SHE IS RESPONDING WELL TO TREATMENT. USEING NEW DRUG ALU6-66 4CC TWICE A DAY. SHE REFUSES TO EAT AS WELL, SAYING THAT SHE IS NOT HUNGRY. PERHAPS A SIDE-EFFECT OF THE NEW MEDICATION.

10/25/92

SUBJECT STILL REFUSES TO TALK AND CONTINUES TO ONLY NIBBLE AT ANY FOOD GIVEN TO HER. SUBJECT HAS DEVELOPED AN INTENSE CASE OF INSOMBIA AND CANNOT SLEEP UNTIL THE SUN RISES, THEN IS UNABLE TO STAY AWAKE UNTIL IT SETS AGAIN. SHE IS BECOMING VERY THIN AND PALE, HER CARETAKERS ARE BECOMING WORRIED AND ARE BEGINING TO ASK QUESTIONS. THE PROJECT'S SUPERVISOR WILL BE IN TOMORROW TO CHECK UP ON THE PROJECT AND DETERMINE WEATHER TO PROCEDE OR WAIT A BIT LONGER FOR THE SUBJECT TO REGAIN HER HEALTH.

10/27/92 STAGE 4

SUBJECT DID NOT RESPOND WELL TO THE LATEST PROCEDURE AND SEDATIVES ARE NO LONGER WORKING. SHE WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OPERATION AND WAS RESTRAINED WHILE WE WERE FORCED TO CONTINUE WITH HER AWAKE AND TRYING TO ESCAPE. THE GOAL OF STAGE 4 WAS TO REPLACE HER HEART WHICH IS AN ODD SHADE OF PURPLE SO OUR SPONCERS CAN RUN TESTS ON THE ORIGINAL. EVERY TIME WE MADE AN INCISION THE WOUND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO HEAL IT'S SELF! WE ENDED UP HAVING TO SETTLE FOR SENDING FRAGMENTS FOR TESTING AND LEAVING THE ORIGINAL HEART IN, WE DID, HOWEVER, ATTACH THE NEW HEART AS WELL. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL AID HER IN REGAINING HER HEALTH.

12/2/92 STAGE 4 - RETRY

SUBJECT'S HEART HAS COMPLETELY REGROWN THE FRAGMENTS WE HAD TAKEN FROM IT AND HER BODY HAS SEAMINGLY ABSORBED THE NEW HEART! SUBJECT WAS FORCED TO GO INTO SERGERY AWAKE AS SEDATIVES STILL HAVE NO EFFECT. EACH INCISION MADE HEALED ITSELF EVEN FASTER THAN THE LAST TIME. SHE IS STILL SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA AND REMAINS THIN AND PALE, HOWEVER, SHE HAS NOT LOST ANY MORE WEIGHT SENSE 11/9.

INTERESTING NOTE: SUBJECT SEEMS TO LOOK FORWARD TO TAKEING HER MEDICATIONS AND REGAINS A SUBSTANSIAL AMOUNT OF ENERGY IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKEING IT. THE ENERGY BOOST TENDS TO DISSAPATE AFTER TWO HOURS AND SHE RETURNS TO JUST STARING OUT THE WINDOW ONE HOUR AFTER THAT.

2/4/93

UNDER THE SUPERVISION ON THE PROJECT SUPERVISOR, SUBJECT'S DOSEAGE OF ALU6-66 HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 8CC TWICE A DAY. THE RESULTS WERE IMMEDIATE. SUBJECT BECAME LIVELY AND ENERGETIC AS A CHILD OF HER AGE SHOULD BE. SHE IS TO REMAIN HERE FOR OBSERVATION FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE BEING RELEASED.

5/15/93

SUBJECT HAS BEEN READMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER SNEEKING INTO THE REFRIDGERATOR (WHERE ALU6-66 IS TO BE KEPT TO KEEP IT FROM SPOILING) AND DRANK THE ENTIRE BOTTLE. HER STOMACH HAS BEEN PUMPED TO RID HER BODY OF THE EXTRA MEDICATION, HOWEVER, SHE PUT UP SUCH A FIGHT THREE DOCTORS, EIGHT NURSES, AND SEVEN POLLICE OFFICERS WERE INJURED, THREE OFFICERS AND ONE NURSE WERE KILLED. SUBJECT BEGAN TO ACTUALLY DRINK THE BLOOD OF THE DECEASED NURSE WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY CAPTURED.. SHE WAS LICKING IT UP OFF THE FLOOR AND BY GOD, I'VE NEVER IN ALL MY YEARS SEAN ANYONE WITH SUCH A LONG TOUNG! SHE SEEMED TO BE POSSESED!

7/12/93

SUBJECT WENT BERZERK AGAIN WHEN INTRODUCED TO A NEW MEDICATION; GA5-Hg905. STRONGER RESTRAINTS WILL BE NEEDED AS SHE WAS ABLE TO BREAK THE ONES CURRENTLY IN USE. SUBJECT SEEMED QUITE UNSTABLE AS SHE ATTACKED AND TRIED TO ESCAPE. HER MOVEMENTS HAD BECOME SLUGISH AND SHE CONTINUOUSLY STUMBLED. DISPITE THIS, HOWEVER, SHE MANAGED TO KILL TWO NURSES AND INJURE A THIRD.

INTERESTING NOTE: WHEN GOING BERZERK, HER FINGERS TURNED INTO SOMETHING RESEMBLING CLAWS AND HER EYES TURNED A STRANGE YELLOW-GREEN WITH RED WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHITE.

8/1/93

SUBJECT IS NOT RESPONDING WELL AT ALL TO GA5-Hg905. SHE THROWS UP EVERY TIME IT IS GIVEN TO HER (WE STARTED PUTTING IT IN HER IV AFTER THE THIRD DAY) AND QUICKLY PASSES OUT. SHE ENJOYS TAKEING ALU6-66 MORE THAN EVER. SHE EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO SNEEK AWAY DURRING HER TIME OUTSIDE TO PLAY AND BROKE INTO THE STORE ROOM WHERE THE DRUG IS KEPT. WE ARE STILL FINDING BOTTLES OF IT HIDDEN AROUND HER ROOM. WHEN TAKEN IN LARGE DOSES, ALU6-66 SEEMS TO COUNTERACT GA5-Hg905, HOWEVER, WHEN RECEIVING ONLY THE NORMAL DOSAGE, THE SUBJECT'S HEALTH RAPIDLY DECLINES. WE ARE UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO.

8/2/93

SUBJECT HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF GA5-Hg905 TEMPORARALY BY REQUEST OF THE PROJECT SUPERVISOR AND ALU6-66 HAS BEEN RAISED TO 16CC TWICE A DAY. SUBJECT IS RESPONDING VERY WELL TO THIS CHANGE, AS SOON AS HER HEALTH RETURNS TO HER, THE DOSEAGE WILL BE CUT BACK TO 8CC AGAIN. ALU6-66 IS VERY EFFECTIVE, WE WISH TO TRY IT ON SOME OF THE OTHER PATENTS, PERHAPS IT SHOULD BE PATENTED?

8/4/93

CUT BACK ON ALU6-66 TO 8CC

8/6/93

SUBJECT IS IN DT'S FROM ALU6-66. WE WILL WAIT TO SEE IF THIS EASES UP ANY IN A FEW DAYS. -STRANGELY, THE PROJECT SUPERVISOR REFUSES TO ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO EVEN TOUCH THE DRUG WITHOUT GLOVES. WE ARE VERY CURIOUS AS TO WHY OTHER AVENUES ARE NOT BEING EXPLORED FOR THIS DRUG.

8/10/93

SUBJECT HAS BEGAN INFLICTING INJURIES TO HERSELF AND HAS BEEN RESTRAIND. -WE TRIED USEING ALU6-66 ON A TERMANALLY ILL PATENT. WE ARE GIVING HIM 1CC PER DAY, AND WILL SEE HOW IT WORKS. IF SUCESSFUL, WE WILL ALERT THE MEDICAL SOCIETY AND PERHAPS OUR SPONCERS WILL BE FORCED TO RELEASE THIS DRUG FOR FURTHER TESTING.

8/11/93

NOTHING NEW WITH SUBJECT. -AMAZING RESULTS WITH THE TERMINAL PATENT! HIS CANCER HAS COMPLETELY GONE! THIS TRULY IS A MIRICAL DRUG! AS TO WHY THE VATICAN IS KEEPING THIS FROM THE PUBLIC IS A COMPLETE MYSTERY TO US ALL.

8/18/93

SUBJECT REFUSES TO EAT AND WAS PLACED ON A FEEDING TUBE. STRANGELY THE FEEDING TUBE DISSOLVED AS THOUGH EATEN AWAY BY ACID. THIS HAPPEND TO ALL THREE OF THE FEEDING TUBES THAT WE TRIED. WE'RE WAITING FOR THE VATICAN TO RETURN OUR CALL TO SEE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

-CANCER PATENT THAT WAS GIVEN ALU6-66 SUDDENLY DIED AT 6:27PM WHEN HIS HEART STOPED BEATING, HOWEVER, HE CONTINUED TO MOVE! HE HAD TO BE RESTRAINED WITH THE SAME TYPE OF RESTRAINTS AS USED ON EXPERIMENT NO. 156-3

8/19/93

OUR SPONCERS INSISTED WE DESTROY THE CANCER PATENT BY IMPALEING HIS HEART WITH A PIECE OF SILVER.. WE CANNOT BRING OURSELVES TO KILL A PATENT, HOWEVER. WE WILL SEE IF THERE ISN'T SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO TO HELP THE POOR SOUL. WE WERE ALSO INSTRUCTED TO USE A FLEXIBLE TUBE EITHER MADE OF OR COATED WITH SILVER FOR OUR SUBJECT'S FEEDING TUBE. THE POOR GIRL WAS SCREAMING HER LITTLE HEAD OFF AS WE INSERTED THE NEW FEEDING TUBE. THE TUBE WAS WRAPED WITH GAUZE WHERE IT CAME IN CONTACT WITH HER MOUTH AS IT SEEMED TO BURN HER UPON CONTACT. SUBJECT LOST CONSIOUSNESS ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AFTER THE FEEDING TUBE HAD BEEN SET IN PLACE.

8/25/93

NEW REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE VATICAN ARRIVED TODAY TO CHECK ON THE SUBJECT IN PLACE OF THE PROJECT'S SUPERVISOR. STRANGE MAN. HE PRAYED FOR THE CANCER PATENT AND IMPALED HIS HEART WITH A BAYONETTE. STRANGE THING OCCURED WHEN THE PATENT WAS DESTROYED, HE TURNED TO DUST! I GATHERED A BIT OF THE DUST AND SENT IT TO THE LABS TO BE ANALIZED.

THE REPRESENTATIVE SEEMS TO CARE MUCH FOR THE SUBJECT AND DEMANDED THE FEEDING TUBE BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY ALONG WITH THE RESTRAINTS. CHUNCKS OF FLESH WERE BURNT ONTO THE TUBE WHEN REMOVED AND THE SUBJECT BEGAN TO PURGE VAST AMOUNTS OF BLOOD. AFTER TWO HOURS ALONE WITH THE SUBJECT, THE PRIEST MANAGED TO GET THE SUBJECT TO EAT A FEW PIECES OF BREAD. HE PUT HIMSELF IN GREAT DANGER (WE DID WARN HIM OF HER PREVIOUS ATTACKS) BUT DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. LUCKILY, SHE DID NOT ATTACK. WE KEPT AN EYE ON THEM VIA SECURITY CAMERAS PLACED ABOUT THE ROOM. SUBJECT ALLOWED THE PRIEST TO HUG HER AS WELL, SHE USUALLY ATTACKS OR RUNS WHEN ANYONE GETS TOO CLOSE.

9/1/93

SUBJECT SEEMS TO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PRIEST RETURNING IN A FEW DAYS AND HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE. WE CUT BACK ON ALU6-66 TO 4CC. SHE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT, BUT DID NOT COMPLAIN MUCH, PERHAPS TOO HAPPY KNOWING SHE WILL SEE THE PRIEST AGAIN SOON.

9/4/93

FATHER ANDERON HAS BEEN PUT IN CHARGE OF THE PROJECT AND WILL BE VISITING THE SUBJECT AROUND THE FIRST WEEKEND OF EACH MONTH. I DO NOT THINK IT WISE THAT HE BE IN CHARGE OF THIS AS THE SUBJECT IS HIS NIECE, THIS MAY CAUSE COMPLICATIONS. AFTER SPENDING ANOTHER TWO HOURS WITH THE GIRL, WE STILL HAVE YET TO GET HER TO TALK (OTHER THAN YELLING AT THE DOCTORS AND NURSES TO LEAVE HER ALONE). I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE IS NOT GETTING ANY ANSWERS FROM HER, THEY TALK TO EACHOTHER QUITE A BIT, BUT ONLY ABOUT CHILDISH THINGS LIKE HER FAVORITE TOYS AND WHAT NOT. I DO NOT THINK HE IS TAKEING THIS EXPERIMENT SEARIOUSLY.

2/16/94

SUBJECT WAS DOING WELL AT HOME UNTIL SHE WENT TO CHURCH WITH A FRIEND. SHE IMMEDIATELY FELL ILL THE MOMENT SHE STEPPED INTO THE BUILDING, COMPLAINING OF HEADACHE, AND DIZZINESS. SHE ALSO BEGAN PURGING BLOOD UPPON ENTERING THE HOLLY BUILDING. HER BRAIN SHOULD HAVE FRIED BY NOW! HER TEMPERATURE IS 135.8dF! WE ARE DOING ALL WE CAN TO BRING IT BACK DOWN TO NORMAL LEVELS.

2/20/94

SUBJECT'S TEMPERATURE HAS FINALLY BROKE AND SHE SEEMS TO BE IN A COMA.

2/29/94

SUBJECT HAS COME OUT OF HER COMA AND SEEMS TO BE DOING MUCH BETTER. STRANGELY HER TEMPERATURE HAS DROPPED TO 76.5dF *average is 98.4* PERHAPS FATHER ANDERSON WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN HE ARIVES IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

3/1/94

FATHER ANDERSON WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT HER TEMPERATURE IN THE LEAST, NOR ABOUT THE CHURCH INCEDENT. SHE HAS FINALLY BEGAN TO TALK, THOUGH ONLY TO THE PRIEST. HE TAKES FAR TOO MANY RISKS WITH THE SUBJECT! FOR THEIR VISIT HE TOOK HER OUTSIDE TO PLAY WITH SOME OF THE OTHER CHILDREN IN THE SMALL PLAYGROUND FOR THE CHILD PATENTS. SHE DID NOT PLAY WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN MUCH, HOWEVER, AND TENDED TO STICK BY THE PRIEST, ONLY VENTURING OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES TO PLAY ON THE JUNGLE GYM. WE WILL NEED TO RUN A PHYSICAL ON HER. IT IS AMAZING HOW FLEXIBLE SHE IS AND HOW SHE WAS ABLE TO TWIST HERSELF AROUND AND THROUGH THE BARS OF THE JUNGLE GYM!

3/2/94

FATHER ANDERSON HAS STAYED TO HELP US CONDUCT THE PHYSICAL. HE DIDN'T SEEM TOO SURPRISED BY THE RESULTS. SHE DIDN'T EVEN BREAK A SWEAT ON THE TREDMILL EVEN WITH IT ON FULL SPEED! HER STRENGTH IS INCREDIBLE, SHE WAS ABLE TO LIFT WEIGHTS TWICE HER OWN WEIGHT EASILY WITH ONE HAND! HER ACEDEMICS ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS WELL. SHE HAS SURPASED HER CLASS EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS MISSED THE MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. SHE HAS BEEN READING THE BIBLE WITH FATHER ANDERSON AND WAS ABLE TO RECITE EVERYTHING THEY HAD READ PERFECTLY. SHE WILL BE RELEASED THIS EVENING TO GO HOME.

4/8/94

SUBJECT HAS RETURNED, THOUGH NOT FOR MEDICAL PURPOUSES, SHE HAS VOLUNTEERED TO GO AROUND WITH A CATHOLIC GROUP THAT COMES BY THE FIRST WEEKEND OF EVERY MONTH. THEY BRING TOYS AND BOOKS FOR THE TERMINALLY ILL CHILDREN. WE BELIEVE SHE DID THIS ONLY TO SEE FATHER ANDERSON AGAIN.

7/6/94

SUBJECT DISPLAYED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE WHEN SHE TRIED TO ENTER THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH THE VOLUNTEER GROUP. THANKFULLY, FATHER ANDERSON WAS THERE AND WAS ABLE TO RUSH HER OVER IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE NO IDEA AS TO HOW HE GOT HER HERE SO QUICKLY AS THE OTHER PRIEST AND NUNS IN THE GROUP SAID HE JUST PICKED HER UP AND RAN. HE HAS REFUSED TO LEAVE HER SIDE SENSE THEY ARIVED, ABOUT 5 HOURS AGO. SUBJECT IS RECOVERING QUICKLY AS HE INSISTED WE GIVE HER A LARGE DOSEAGE OF ALU6-66. I REALLY DO NOT THINK IT WISE TO USE THIS DRUG ON ANYONE, NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPEND WITH THE CANCER PATIENT. I HOPE THE SAME DOESN'T HAPPEN TO THE GIRL, IT WOULD BE SUCH A SHAME.

7/12/94

SUBJECT HAS FULLY RECOVERED AND HAS BEEN RELEASED AGAIN WITH THE PROMISE THAT SHE'LL STAY AWAY FROM CHURCHES.
-RESULTS FROM THE DUST OF THE CANCER PATIENT HAVE COME IN.

POTASSIUM 10.25
SULFUR 1.21
SODIUM 0.06
BORON 0.04

IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS PLAIN ASH FROM A WHITE OAK AFTER BEING HEATED TO 1300 dC (2372 dF)

6/11/95 STAGE 5

SAMPLES HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM THE SUBJECT FOR TESTING. SAMPLES INCLUDE: BONE MARROW, SPINAL FLUID, LIVER, STOMACH, LUNG AND HEART
THE SEDATIVES CONTINUE TO BE OF NO USE ON HER SO FATHER ANDERSON STAYED WITH HER TO HELP KEEP HER CALM. IT WORKED, SHE ONLY TRIED TO PULL AWAY AT THE FIRST INCISION.

6/24/95

WE MANAGED TO GET A COPPY OF THE TEST RESULTS. BY ALL MEANS SHE SHOULD BE DEAD, BUT THE REPORT SAYS THAT THE PIECES OF ORGANS BEGAN TO REGROW DURING THE TESTS. NONE OF THIS IS MAKEING ANY SENSE TO ANY OF US.

6/26/95

I ASKED ANDERSON ABOUT THE TEST RESULTS AND HE WAS QUITE SURPRISED AS WELL. HE SAID HE WOULD TRY TO GET SOME MORE INFORMATION FOR US. HE'S STRANGE, BUT A VERY NICE MAN. tHE SUBJECT SEEMS TO BE QUITE DEPRESSED SENSE THE PRIEST LEFT.
