This questionnaire is designed to research into the causes of so called 'Barge Comas' by collecting information and using it to either eliminate certain theories, or to find a pattern within the information provided. Nobody is obliged to respond to this questionnaire, or respond to all of the questions, but the more answers provided, the more we can potentially find out.
Please return completed questionnaires in the sealed envelope provided to my room, 8/4, and direct any questions to me - Eddie Russett - in a private message. Your cooperation is much appreciated.

[Private to Jane]
I am never reading so many beiging medical texts and the dictionary can go to magnolia for all I care.
So many obsolete words, Jane. Ugh.
((ooc: Eddie... is a bit of a bureaucrat at heart. And is a touch naive and thinks people won't take the piss. I encourage people to do so, whole heartedly. :D. Also, he WOULD have sent this to the coma-investigation team first... but I've only got one day off in which to write it, so can we assume he did? pleeeeeeeeeease?
Also, Eddie has deliberately missed out the infirmary. He has conspiracy theories. Feel free to sell him out to them, though.))
