Session 5: The Hidden Patient
General Summary
Godfreid is approached by Dr. Elira Vasquez who leads him to where Subject 17, "Jonas" is being hidden. She asks him to help her hide the test subject because she believes that he is important to finding the cure. Godfreid buys clothing at Sweet Seams for Jonas so that he isn't wearing obvious patient / test subject clothing. They then take Jonas to the The Solstice Casino where Vasques believes that the The Solstice Syndicate will hide him. Once at the casino, the Syndicate hides Jonas in a storage shed on the roof. Godfreid then meets with Levi Aislin Power. Levi offers 50 credits to ensure that Godfreid will remain silent about Jonas being at the casino. Godfreic declines the money, but does promise to keep the secret.
Godfreid then goes to the Bounty Office in an effort to go about his day and forget about the strange morning that he's just had. He speaks with Enzo Cosima but there are no new bounties since he last took up jobs.
Jacqui Jerilyn Newport summons Godfreid to her office. She explains that The Doctors have reported that a test subject has escaped their confinement ward. She assigns him the case, tasking him with the objective of finding the missing test subject.
Godfreid goes to the hospital to investigate the missing test subject. Once there, he meets with Christine Louis Segers who is one of his few doctor contacts. She explains that the missing subject was her test subject. She reported that Dr. Adrian Royce was the assistant assigned to researching that subject and that she was the primary doctor overseeing the research. She provided information regarding where the offices and labs of her assistant could be found.
Godfreid then met with Dr. Royce. He reported that he felt that Dr. Vasquez was suspicious and should be investigated.
- Dr. Adrian Royce has seen Dr. Elira Vasquez spending a good deal of time with Subject 17, but that test subject isn't part of her assigned research.
- Dr. Adrian Royce has seen Dr. Elira Vasquez coming and going at strange hours recently. He believes that she has been taking supplies home. This isn't specifically against the rules, but generally isn't done.
- The party learns Jonas wasn’t just a random infected—he was experimented on before turning.
- He also revealed that Dr. Elira Vasquez caused him an injury.
Godfreid then went and met with Micha Simone Kendal who is the doctor overseeing the research being conducted by Dr. Elira Vasquez. He confirmed that Dr. Elira Vasquez did cause an injury to Dr. Adrian Royce when they were students. He provided Dr. Elira Vasquez's home address and informed them that she has been seeing someone who words as a fisherman.
Had another meeting with Dr. Adrian Royce. He provided them information about Subject 17, "Jonas" , explaining that he has long claws and that he can flick them at people. Jonas can also climb walls. He also reported that Jonas has a history of needing to be sedated for aggression. He notified them that the cameras in the containment ward had been disabled.
Went to Dr. Elira Vasquez's home where they met with her, pretending that they had not previously met her.
Godfreid decides that he needs help and goes to Jasper for assistance. They meet for lunch at Jasper's house. Godfreid confesses everything to Jasper and in return, Jasper reveals that he can use the Dark. Jasper joins the party! They create a plan together to claim that Stella tracked Jonas and that Jonas escaped the camp by climbing over the wall.
Together, they go back to the hospital. They go to the containment ward. They get a mechanic to come check the cameras so they will have a witness to Stella tracking Jonas. The mechanic reports that the cameras were over loaded and that is the reason that they are no longer working. He promising to get them back up and running by the end of the day.
Stella tracks Jonas to the tents where he had been hiding when Godfreid first met him. They find out that he left the hospital by a service entrance. They collected the clothing that Jonas was wearing as evidence. Jasper returned the stretcher to the hospital so that it wouldn't be found at the tent location. Stella then tracked Jonas down Myrtle Ave. When they got to the point between Blue Horizon and General Goods Godfreid had Stella stop tracking so that he could claim that Jonas went over the wall at that location.
They then went to Essence Timaios Kendal , telling him that Jonas escaped the camp by going over the wall. Essence believed the story and embellished it for them, by adding that he believed that Jonas must be able to use electrical Dark abilities that he used to disable the cameras. He stated that he would place a bounty out for the termination of Jonas.
They went to talk to Levi Aislin Power. He agreed to help them by having Jonas over the wall at the date and time that they indicted. Levi attempted to recruit Godfreid into the Syndicate, but this was declined.
They then reported to Jacqui Jerilyn Newport who also believed them after some questioning. She indicated that she also wanted them to hunt down Jonas and terminate him.

Godfreid stiffened, instinct urging him to flee. The Watch had its rules about Dark things, and he had seen men dragged from their homes for less. "That’s not—" he started, but the words died in his throat. Jasper held his gaze, expression calm, almost tired. “It’s the Dark,” he murmured. “I can make it… behave.” The glow wavered, flickering like candlelight in a draft, yet it remained. Godfreid felt his pulse hammer in his ears. He was supposed to call this in. It would seem that he wasn't the only one that has something to hide.
He found himself staring at the faint light, at the man who at created it, and he wondered - not for the first time - how many other things lurked in the town's shadows, waiting to be revealed.
