Location: The Facility for Retrospective Analysis - Fifth Floor - Isen’s Laboratory
Date: 78th Trial of Ymiden of the 718th Arc
With a soft knock at the wooden door, which served as the entrance to workroom that Isen now called his own, the researcher closed his notebook. Rising from his dark walnut desk that was housed in the small office, where he did most of his writing and read, that attached to laboratory. Placing the notebook into one of the drawers as to help secure from wandering or prying eyes of his fellows researchers. Moving from his desk in the corner of his office and into the main part of the work space. Making his way into the antechamber where the door was located. Opening the door, the Eidisi Mage was met with the site of a body cart and another one of Yvithia’s creations pushing it. Moving aside, Isen kept the door open to allow the assistant to push the subject into the room. “Just place the subject on the table. Was this one terminated just prior to being brought down? As per my request.” the necromancer asked the assistant as he closed the door behind the Eidisi. “Yes Researcher Fydar. This one was terminated approximately twenty to thirty Bits before being brought down. As per your request form.” The cart pusher advised the researcher. “Very well.. Once you are done with your task. Let yourself out and secure the door,” the scholar instructed. The helper nodded his head in acknowledgement. Then he moved the cart and it’s cargo out of the antechamber, further into the workroom to complete his task.
Isen moved into the storage area of his laboratory to gather the required tools. And to prepare himself for his dissection of the day. Before the arrival of his cadaver, he had been reviewing his notes he had written over the past few seasons worth of experiments. When each of these tests had ended in failure on the part of the researcher. He began to reexamine everything. Nothing he did changed the outcome. Not of charge changes in the experiment's variables. Not the changes in the various techniques he employed. Not even drastic changes to his overall methods. Each changed did bring him any closer to success. This was something that infuriated Isen. He was an Eidisi, they did not fail. They did not leave something unknown and unlearned. He wouldn’t risk one of his co-workers learning of his inability to succeed and his pride wouldn’t allow him to seek help from one of the others this early in his career. So he reflected on his past fortnight of searching as he collected his tools.
He had taken the last few dozen Trials to review everything he had ever learned and go back to the basics, rather than push through and lead to more unbearable failure. This way maybe he could find a fresh perspective to his problem. On the first couple Trials he had left the cold halls of the Facility and moved into the Academy proper, away from the constant moans of the caged subjects. He had returned to the familiar areas that he had spent some many Arcs of his youth. Spending many Breaks looking through the various texts and tomes. To review information that he had used within his studies inside the Academy or finding new information in the recent additions to the great library. As a member of the Facility, he had access to the entirety of the Academy as most believe him to be just another Eidisi student. As he compared his personal documentation and the findings of his own research compared to the published works he had found within the library, he noticed some small discrepancies within his own work. He noticed that some of the newer tomes had new or updated information from the various authors of these works.
With the new information as well as the corrected old documentation. The blue former student moved from within the populated Academy and back down into the depths of the Facility. Making his way into the archives of Facility. While not a true library, it did contain the findings, records, and synopsis of hundreds of previous studies and analysis that were conducted by the hundreds researchers before him. In his time with the FRA, he had learned that very few were following his course of study or fell into his area of expertise, something that he was proud of. As this meant there was less competition for the resources he needed or less of a chance of having to deal with someone stealing his research. Though there were a number of medical specialist within their ranks that had published their findings on some subjects. Some of the abstracts held promise such as the one titled ‘10 Obscure Functions of the Human Brain” or ‘Physical Stress Bad for Health’. But many of them would never be of use to him. As he skimmed the various sources, annotations were created on the important and valuable information that appeared with would be of use. The scientist also documented the source location for further inspection should the he need it to reconfirm something or cross examine his own findings.
As he finished gathering the required tools, he returned to the work space with his tool tray which he placed onto its designated table. As Isen gathered and donned his work apron, he moved to start today’s work in the practical after many Trials of intellectual study to hopefully solve complex issues with basic information.
