(OOC) - Tracking Post
Week 3
Dayshift 59
Remaining too sick to wake up, Sechs remains unconscious throughout the day until just before dinner, where he gets the chance to review the message board and join a plan to infiltrate the basement. Unbeknownst to him and the rest of the institute population, the night that was coming would be far from a forgettable one...

"To the basement!"
Nightshift 59
As soon as night begins, all hell breaks loose with the sound of alarms and the return of everyone's powers! Overjoyed by the restoration of his abilities, Sechs wastes no time to take advantage of it and joins the riots, destroying a pack of Necrits and slicing up a monstrous cat with little effort. Nearly forgetting his plans to meet up with Utena for the rendezvous into the basement, Sechs finds his allies and makes a grand entrance with a powerful attack against a Lurcher.
Dayshift 58
Sechs wakes up the next morning with little memory of his ordeal the night before. He can only recall the moments before his M-U side-effects knocked him unconscious, and he becomes terribly sick before he is escorted to the cafeteria for breakfast. Unable to eat, Sechs frets over the state of his arm and Ritsuka until he has a chat with The Doctor. Just as the worst of his nausea calms down, Sechs is suddenly dragged off to an unknown office where he meets General Berg for a conversation that takes a turn for the worst. Things don't get much better once Sechs finds a grieved Aigis during lunch, and his worst fears are later confirmed by from Ritsuka. Reeling from the news that he had lost control of himself and nearly killed Ritsuka, Sechs grows terribly ill during dinner later that evening. What if the poison he drank leaves him vulnerable to possession again...?

The following morning, Sechs finds Kibitoshin in the Chapel, and struggles to do one of the hardest things he has ever done: apologize.

A new challenge is issued by the new Head of the institute. As he heads out for another night, Sechs is torn over the General's suggestions of trying the military's drugs in the infirmary. Sechs has lost his trust in the Radio man, and the idea of trying unknown medicine offered by the military leaves Sechs feeling lost. However, a spark of hope pops up for Sechs -- What if the drugs could cure him of his M-U effects? With his decision made, Sechs makes his way to the Infirmary, but bumps into another patient who happens to have the ears and tail of a cat. Once the panic and annoyance between them calms down, Sechs learns that his new comrade is heading for the Infirmary as well, and they decide to go together. They safely reach the Medical Wing, and search the hall until they find the Infirmary. They reach the various pills and tonics that the military had left for them. Influenced by his desperation to end his M-U effects, Sechs takes a vial and drinks it, despite his companion's protest. When nothing seems to happen, Sechs grows frustrated and moves on, having agreed to help Ritsuka find medical supplies. Once they find the General Storage room, Sechs begins to feel something terribly wrong going on with his right side. Before he knows it, the concoction he drank rapidly decays his arm and gives full power to the drug in his back. Sechs loses complete control of himself, his awareness smothered by the parasite in his body, and he attacks Ritsuka with murderous glee...
Dayshift 56
It's field trip day again, and this time the military go incognito as regular institute staff and credit cards are assigned to the patients. However, it doesn't change the fact that escape is nearly impossible and help from the townspeople is hard to come by. Sechs starts the day by visiting the Hardware store, and runs into a fellow battle android. Failing to buy dangerous goods with his credit, Sechs is at least uplifted by his conversation with Aigis and he moves on to the Tasty Burger to put his allowance to good use, meeting a patient named Michelangelo as well. When the day comes to a close, Sechs is forced through an unpleasant pat-down before being allowed into one of the buses. Disgruntled and cold, Sechs manages to strike up a conversation with his seatmate as they're taken back to the institute. Dinner proves to be far better for Sechs than the evening before, determined to stay awake and make the best out of the night ahead of him.

Sechs' guilt over Kibitoshin is taken advantage of by the drug, but he is determined to make the best of the night. It isn't long before he runs into Aigis, and their journey through the institute is interrupted by the last person they ever want to hear on Sechs' radio...
Dayshift 55
Exhausted from the near fatal night before, Sechs is lucky to sleep through the military takeover of the morning, but when he does, he finds an infuriating surprise in the Courtyard and flies into a fight against the soldiers. No thanks to the after-effects of his M-U and the overwhelming opposition from the military, Sechs is subdued and punished, unable to sit or eat throughout the rest of the day. By the evening, the Replica is completely worn out and falls asleep during dinner, a nap which turns into an all-night slumber instead.

Week 2
Dayshift 54
Having survived his fight with Recluse, Sechs feels his fighting spirit had gained a much needed boost. The military presence that arrived overnight dominates the scene when Sechs arrives in the cafeteria for breakfast. There he encounters a fellow battle android, but their conversation is cut short by a sudden food fight that quickly explodes into a violent riot, ending in tear gas and a trip to one of the solitary cells. By lunch Sechs was finally released back into the cafeteria for lunch and his foul mood gets somewhat lifted by his table mate. Such cheering up does not last however, as Sechs later learns from the message board that his friend Forte had gone missing. Struggling to deal with the news, Sechs is encountered by another patient who recognizes him as one of the brainwashed guards one night ago. Shortly after, Sechs witnesses an impossible scene: the military announces complete dominance over the institute, and Dr. Landel himself is ousted by the soldiers in the sun room. Sechs is later dragged back to his room where he recounts the scene to his roommate, torn between excitement and dread over the sudden changes to the institute...

Once his roommate Sai leaves with another friend, Sechs is left to himself in his room. Sechs is troubled over the events of the day, but the drug in his back returns at full force to remind him of Forte's disappearance. The Replica bends to the grief of his loss and succumbs to his bitterness towards Kibitoshin. Despite his anger towards his friend, Sechs begrudgingly allows Kibitoshin to follow him for the night. Sechs storms onward, barely giving the Kaioshin a chance to keep up. They reach the Main Hallway and go up the stairs. Finally, Sechs' temper with Kibitoshin reaches a new peak, and the two nearly separate before they're suddenly under attack by a pack of monsters! It is then that Sechs regrets his treatment towards his friend, and fears for his welfare...
Dayshift 53
Waking up in a daze, Sechs isn't sure if his time as a free android was real or just a dream. Once he realizes that it was real and that he had been used as a Special Counseling patient, Sechs flies into a rage against the staff. The fight ends in sedation, followed by an emotional appointment with his therapist. Sechs struggles to detach himself from his rage and humiliation, but during lunch he is approached by one of the patients he attacked the night before, who challenges him to a fight to finish what was started. When Sechs is returned to his room for dinner, he is dismayed to find that he has another new roommate, and this time he's paired with one of the patients he attacked as a brainwashed guard!

The night brings nothing but dread for Sechs as he readies himself for his fight with Recluse. However, he is visited by Javert once more, and their conversation turns angry and backfires against Sechs. With a load of guilt to carry with his dread, Sechs finally leaves his room and makes his way down the halls until he reaches the destined hall where his fight with Recluse is to take place.
Dayshift 52
At the price of broken ribs and a slashed arm, Sechs survives the night with the radio man's note. Anxious to spread the new found information, Sechs starts the day with breakfast, followed by a meeting with Kibitoshin in the library. Sechs' pride over recovering the note is squandered when he meets up with Javert where their interview takes a painful turn when the subject of M-U is brought up. With a deep wound reopened, the sour Replica goes to the Sun room to meet with another patient to share the note with. However, he ends up getting harassed by Gally the kitten and Fai. Dinner comes around, but Sechs' roommate is absent...

Restored to his full power but under the control of the institute, Sechs watches over the recreational field as a brainwashed guard. Lead to believe that a powerful warrior was going to show up in the field, Sechs waits for a good battle while chasing off other patients off his turf. Unaware of what he's doing, Sechs attacks several patients, including two youths and a group of men including one of his own allies. Meanwhile, Javert visits Sechs' room for the notes, but finds the place empty...
Dayshift 51
The morning after his near death experience, Sechs is woken up by the angry drug's threats. Undeterred, Sechs moves on to breakfast, but finds himself an unexpected encounter with a new enemy made over the message board... After that violent breakfast, Sechs goes to the showers with a bad temper and runs into a face he hadn't seen for awhile. For lunch he gets a bit of "The Talk" with Fai. After keeping to himself in the Sun room, Sechs spends another dinner with his new roommate.

Sechs starts the night off with goals of finding Alita and the doctor who tortured him. Moving from one corridor to another, the drug starts to act up again before he reaches the Main Hall. Sechs takes his chances and returns to the second floor, but as soon as he reaches the next level, his post-MU side effects kicks in and attempts to disable him. Using all his physical and mental strength, Sechs uses his inspiration from Kibitoshin's help and manages to fight back the drug -- for now. Cocky from his little victory, Sechs moves to a suspicious door that may lead him to his goals and attacks it with little caution. His racket attracts a Lurcher, and their fight intensifies to the point that both Replica and monster plunge off the balcony rail and crash to the Sun Room below! Now back to square one with a broken rib cage, Sechs' goals of finding Alita are discouraged when he hears a message from his radio. Deciding to add that radio man's message as another goal for the night, Sechs makes his way out of the Sun Room, down another hall, up the stairs, and back to the second floor. Using the radio's clues, Sechs goes to the Nurse Residency hall, but finds that he isn't the only one looking for the Radio man's note. There's a brief conflict of interests, but eventually Sechs is convinced to let the strangers come with him into the Nurse's lounge where they find the note with its shocking information.
Dayshift 50
Having slept in for the morning, Sechs wakes up to brunch and decides to be an ass to his table mate. He continues to carry his foul mood outside at the Recreational field, which only reaches new terrible levels at the arrival of a visitor -- Alita herself! Or is it Alita...? The visit turns out horribly wrong and Sechs finds himself brought back into his room later after being heavily sedated. Expecting another evening to himself, Sechs is surprised by a new roommate who turns out to be much different than the first one.

After starting off a mostly positive impression with his new roomie, Sechs enters another night, this time with some pipes to give Kibitoshin. On his way to his friend's room, Sechs is harassed by the drug over his visitor that day. Sechs manages to reach his destination without a scratch (at least a physical one). He and Kibitoshin talk but the subject of Alita deeply bothers Sechs, and the drug takes advantage of the situation...
Dayshift 49
Back on the bus destined for Doyleton, Sechs and Teisel talk over the freedom (or lack there of) to travel in their separate worlds. Sechs tries to follow Teisel's advice by keeping a positive outlook, but he finds himself brooding in the park over what happened the week before. For lunch, Sechs returns to the Tasty Burger for the usual food but also a moment of nostalgia and a conversation with The Doctor. With the downpour of rain getting worse later that afternoon, Sechs wanders about main street until he suddenly gets hijacked by Wally and then dragged into a nasty game of dare involving humiliating manicures. When the buses arrive to pick up everyone, Sechs gets bugged by Fai, but also reminded to look at the bright side of things. Back in the institute, Sechs learns that his roommate is really gone, and he doesn't take the news too well.

Sechs wakes up after a troubled nap. Recharged and ready to meet the night, Sechs travels down the M-B hallway, into the north West wing, then into the south, then meets up with Forte in the Main hall. The two robots start off on what was supposed to be a night of exploration, but through the first door they run into a problem. Unsure of what they're up against, the two go back through the same door, only to end up in the Tasty Burger instead! Realizing that they were dealing with seemingly random teleportation, the two leave the restaurant (but not before wrecking havoc in there first) and stumble into a walk-in refrigerator. The drug in Sechs' body acts up just as he and Forte return to the first room they were teleported into at the start of the night. After some encouragement from Forte, Sechs recovers somewhat from his dark episode, and the two try the doors again, ending up in a meeting room, the hardware store in Doyleton, a doctor's office, and finally the morgue, where the drug screws with Sechs' mind again. After all the trouble they went through, the two fighters end up back in Sechs' room! Frustrated, they take a short break before trying for another door, hoping to be led towards revenge and freedom. Yet they arrive in a bizarre store, which they take little time to leave. The Arts and Crafts room is next, which serves little purpose except for some burglary of the color markers. The trials and tribulations of the night seemed close to the end, when Sechs and Forte go through one last door. To their surprise and cautious joy, they find themselves in Forte's home, but something terribly important is amiss...
Dayshift 48
With breakfast comes confusion, rage and panic for Sechs. Even though Fai and Kibitoshin are safe, last night's events deeply shakes Sechs' belief in himself and worries if he'll ever be able to defeat his inner foe. Afterward, Sechs spends a gloomy time outside at the Courtyard. When lunch comes around, Sechs reluctnatly finds himself with the same two friends he nearly killed. Last night's incident seems to be forgiven and forgotten by his allies though, and it isn't long before their conversation takes a silly turn. During showers, Sechs takes a moment to relax his ailed body, but his pessimism butts heads with his shower mate's optimism. Dinner comes with the usual food and dessert, but a certain roommate doesn't show up...

With his roommate still not showing up, Sechs leaves the room after hearing the news of possible retrials. Yet once outside, the Replica struggles to think of how to cope with his ailment without making the same mistakes from the night before. Needing to learn as many strategies as possible, Sechs pays a visit to a certain admiral but gets a tad more than he bargains for.
Week 1
Dayshift 47
Sechs wakes up in a cold sweat and is faced with the side-effects of the experiment he was forced through the night before. He confronts the staff over his ordeal, but once again he is sedated and left to eat by himself during breakfast in a stupor. Sechs is later found by Kibitoshin outside at the recreational field. Sechs struggles to explain to his concerned friend what happened but the shadow implanted inside him darkens his hopes for recovery. Lunch doesn't prove to be terribly comforting as well. Back in the sun room, Sechs darkly broods to himself when a kitten gets dumped on his head by a friendly patient intent on cheering him up. Dinner comes around next and Sechs manages to keep the after effects of the experiment a secret from his roomie -- for now.

Night arrives and Sechs is finally able to don his battle suit. Yet the night comes with his new inner passenger, who is keen on harassing its host. Intent on ignoring the dark part of his mind and search out the doctor who tortured him, Sechs leaves the room and goes out into the hall. Upon entering the West Wing, the Replica gets stalled by the drug's next wave of illusions, but is too determined to let that stop him. He prowls on to the next hall with painful memories closely pursuing him. In the Main Hallway, Sechs makes for the stairs to the second floor but bumps into two allies who insist on joining him. Sechs isn't the happiest camper in the world, but in the end he lets the others follow him up the stairs. Once on the second floor, the drug's side-effects take another worrying phase that temporarily blinds Sechs. Despite Sechs' odd behavior, Fai and Kibitoshin help him move on in his search for the doctor, leading them to a mysterious hallway as the first place to investigate. After hacking his way into the next corridor, the purpose of the rooms there sparks up the poison inside Sechs. It takes on full power and envelops him inside its shadow. Trapped within the drug's illusion, the tormented Replica gets tricked into attacking his own friends...
Dayshift 46
Waking up in a rage over the unfinished fight from the night before, Sechs blows up and vents at Kibitoshin during breakfast. Yet the Kaioshin's kindness and their newly developed friendship helps pull Sechs through his dark mood. With the worst of his rage quenched, Sechs tries to take it easy in the sun room but ends up encountering his first alien. When lunch comes around, Forte manages to earn Sechs' forgiveness but through the hard and painful way. After that, Sechs get dragged to an unexpected appointment with his " therapist" and proves to be a stubborn patient. When the unbearable session finally ends, dinner arrives with the promise of revenge against his roommate. Yet once again the fight is interrupted -- but by completely unexpected guests...

Along with a fully restored arm and recovering leg, the admonished Replica finds himself having an unnerving conversation with " Todd" instead of Teisel over breakfast... Rattled and furious over the change that came over his acquaintance, Sechs finds a fellow patient who was also finding unpleasant changes in others and the both of them rant over the problem. Next is lunch with HK-47 while the following shift in the Games room brings no form of entertainment for the grumpy Replica. It looked like the bad day would redeem itself when Sechs finds his combat uniform mysteriously returned to him, but his roommate ruins the mood. A severe conflict between them explodes when his roommate attacks Sechs' most sensitive issues and reveals his real intentions behind the "truce".

Waking up with a bitter-sweet victory under his belt, Sechs finds fellow android Forte and strikes up conversations of battles and weapons. When the time for showers rolls in, Sechs discovers Kibitoshin's elusive friend. Triumphant over his findings, Sechs drags Trunks out from the showers and then dumps him on Kibitoshin's lap in the cafeteria. All in a days work! Later during arts and crafts, Sechs ends up in an intense clash with the staff over his attempt to restore a part of his former self. Yet his aggressive defiance gets him his first taste of the sedatives the institute uses. Later on the subdued Replica makes a less noisy entrance into his room for dinner. To his surprise his roommate offers a truce instead of insults. A cookie is exchanged as a token of goodwill, but unbeknownst to Sechs, his roommate's so-called-truce is just a trick to use the Replica as a test subject...

Sechs is woken up by a nurse who looks disturbingly like someone he saved in the past. Next he's herded into the bus where he briefly cheers himself up by bragging to his seatmate, Armand. It isn't long before their conversation revolves around a very troubling topic. Once everyone arrives in Doyleton, Sechs goes off to the park on his own and takes his frustration out on the local wildlife. After his temper tantrum, Sechs encounters Recluse and gets revved up talking about his favorite hobby. Discovering his free lunch coupon, Sechs sets off to stuff his face at the Tasty Burger and runs into a worried Kaioshin. Next, the Replica visits the Hardware store only to find himself under attack by Grey Goo someone's grey hair. Lots of yelling, insults and hilarity ensues.

Once his roommate Sai leaves with another friend, Sechs is left to himself in his room. Sechs is troubled over the events of the day, but the drug in his back returns at full force to remind him of Forte's disappearance. The Replica bends to the grief of his loss and succumbs to his bitterness towards Kibitoshin. Despite his anger towards his friend, Sechs begrudgingly allows Kibitoshin to follow him for the night. Sechs storms onward, barely giving the Kaioshin a chance to keep up. They reach the Main Hallway and go up the stairs. Finally, Sechs' temper with Kibitoshin reaches a new peak, and the two nearly separate before they're suddenly under attack by a pack of monsters! It is then that Sechs regrets his treatment towards his friend, and fears for his welfare...
Dayshift 53
Waking up in a daze, Sechs isn't sure if his time as a free android was real or just a dream. Once he realizes that it was real and that he had been used as a Special Counseling patient, Sechs flies into a rage against the staff. The fight ends in sedation, followed by an emotional appointment with his therapist. Sechs struggles to detach himself from his rage and humiliation, but during lunch he is approached by one of the patients he attacked the night before, who challenges him to a fight to finish what was started. When Sechs is returned to his room for dinner, he is dismayed to find that he has another new roommate, and this time he's paired with one of the patients he attacked as a brainwashed guard!

The night brings nothing but dread for Sechs as he readies himself for his fight with Recluse. However, he is visited by Javert once more, and their conversation turns angry and backfires against Sechs. With a load of guilt to carry with his dread, Sechs finally leaves his room and makes his way down the halls until he reaches the destined hall where his fight with Recluse is to take place.

At the price of broken ribs and a slashed arm, Sechs survives the night with the radio man's note. Anxious to spread the new found information, Sechs starts the day with breakfast, followed by a meeting with Kibitoshin in the library. Sechs' pride over recovering the note is squandered when he meets up with Javert where their interview takes a painful turn when the subject of M-U is brought up. With a deep wound reopened, the sour Replica goes to the Sun room to meet with another patient to share the note with. However, he ends up getting harassed by Gally the kitten and Fai. Dinner comes around, but Sechs' roommate is absent...

Restored to his full power but under the control of the institute, Sechs watches over the recreational field as a brainwashed guard. Lead to believe that a powerful warrior was going to show up in the field, Sechs waits for a good battle while chasing off other patients off his turf. Unaware of what he's doing, Sechs attacks several patients, including two youths and a group of men including one of his own allies. Meanwhile, Javert visits Sechs' room for the notes, but finds the place empty...

The morning after his near death experience, Sechs is woken up by the angry drug's threats. Undeterred, Sechs moves on to breakfast, but finds himself an unexpected encounter with a new enemy made over the message board... After that violent breakfast, Sechs goes to the showers with a bad temper and runs into a face he hadn't seen for awhile. For lunch he gets a bit of "The Talk" with Fai. After keeping to himself in the Sun room, Sechs spends another dinner with his new roommate.

Sechs starts the night off with goals of finding Alita and the doctor who tortured him. Moving from one corridor to another, the drug starts to act up again before he reaches the Main Hall. Sechs takes his chances and returns to the second floor, but as soon as he reaches the next level, his post-MU side effects kicks in and attempts to disable him. Using all his physical and mental strength, Sechs uses his inspiration from Kibitoshin's help and manages to fight back the drug -- for now. Cocky from his little victory, Sechs moves to a suspicious door that may lead him to his goals and attacks it with little caution. His racket attracts a Lurcher, and their fight intensifies to the point that both Replica and monster plunge off the balcony rail and crash to the Sun Room below! Now back to square one with a broken rib cage, Sechs' goals of finding Alita are discouraged when he hears a message from his radio. Deciding to add that radio man's message as another goal for the night, Sechs makes his way out of the Sun Room, down another hall, up the stairs, and back to the second floor. Using the radio's clues, Sechs goes to the Nurse Residency hall, but finds that he isn't the only one looking for the Radio man's note. There's a brief conflict of interests, but eventually Sechs is convinced to let the strangers come with him into the Nurse's lounge where they find the note with its shocking information.
Dayshift 50
Having slept in for the morning, Sechs wakes up to brunch and decides to be an ass to his table mate. He continues to carry his foul mood outside at the Recreational field, which only reaches new terrible levels at the arrival of a visitor -- Alita herself! Or is it Alita...? The visit turns out horribly wrong and Sechs finds himself brought back into his room later after being heavily sedated. Expecting another evening to himself, Sechs is surprised by a new roommate who turns out to be much different than the first one.

After starting off a mostly positive impression with his new roomie, Sechs enters another night, this time with some pipes to give Kibitoshin. On his way to his friend's room, Sechs is harassed by the drug over his visitor that day. Sechs manages to reach his destination without a scratch (at least a physical one). He and Kibitoshin talk but the subject of Alita deeply bothers Sechs, and the drug takes advantage of the situation...
Dayshift 49
Back on the bus destined for Doyleton, Sechs and Teisel talk over the freedom (or lack there of) to travel in their separate worlds. Sechs tries to follow Teisel's advice by keeping a positive outlook, but he finds himself brooding in the park over what happened the week before. For lunch, Sechs returns to the Tasty Burger for the usual food but also a moment of nostalgia and a conversation with The Doctor. With the downpour of rain getting worse later that afternoon, Sechs wanders about main street until he suddenly gets hijacked by Wally and then dragged into a nasty game of dare involving humiliating manicures. When the buses arrive to pick up everyone, Sechs gets bugged by Fai, but also reminded to look at the bright side of things. Back in the institute, Sechs learns that his roommate is really gone, and he doesn't take the news too well.

Sechs wakes up after a troubled nap. Recharged and ready to meet the night, Sechs travels down the M-B hallway, into the north West wing, then into the south, then meets up with Forte in the Main hall. The two robots start off on what was supposed to be a night of exploration, but through the first door they run into a problem. Unsure of what they're up against, the two go back through the same door, only to end up in the Tasty Burger instead! Realizing that they were dealing with seemingly random teleportation, the two leave the restaurant (but not before wrecking havoc in there first) and stumble into a walk-in refrigerator. The drug in Sechs' body acts up just as he and Forte return to the first room they were teleported into at the start of the night. After some encouragement from Forte, Sechs recovers somewhat from his dark episode, and the two try the doors again, ending up in a meeting room, the hardware store in Doyleton, a doctor's office, and finally the morgue, where the drug screws with Sechs' mind again. After all the trouble they went through, the two fighters end up back in Sechs' room! Frustrated, they take a short break before trying for another door, hoping to be led towards revenge and freedom. Yet they arrive in a bizarre store, which they take little time to leave. The Arts and Crafts room is next, which serves little purpose except for some burglary of the color markers. The trials and tribulations of the night seemed close to the end, when Sechs and Forte go through one last door. To their surprise and cautious joy, they find themselves in Forte's home, but something terribly important is amiss...
Dayshift 48
With breakfast comes confusion, rage and panic for Sechs. Even though Fai and Kibitoshin are safe, last night's events deeply shakes Sechs' belief in himself and worries if he'll ever be able to defeat his inner foe. Afterward, Sechs spends a gloomy time outside at the Courtyard. When lunch comes around, Sechs reluctnatly finds himself with the same two friends he nearly killed. Last night's incident seems to be forgiven and forgotten by his allies though, and it isn't long before their conversation takes a silly turn. During showers, Sechs takes a moment to relax his ailed body, but his pessimism butts heads with his shower mate's optimism. Dinner comes with the usual food and dessert, but a certain roommate doesn't show up...

Dayshift 47
Sechs wakes up in a cold sweat and is faced with the side-effects of the experiment he was forced through the night before. He confronts the staff over his ordeal, but once again he is sedated and left to eat by himself during breakfast in a stupor. Sechs is later found by Kibitoshin outside at the recreational field. Sechs struggles to explain to his concerned friend what happened but the shadow implanted inside him darkens his hopes for recovery. Lunch doesn't prove to be terribly comforting as well. Back in the sun room, Sechs darkly broods to himself when a kitten gets dumped on his head by a friendly patient intent on cheering him up. Dinner comes around next and Sechs manages to keep the after effects of the experiment a secret from his roomie -- for now.

Night arrives and Sechs is finally able to don his battle suit. Yet the night comes with his new inner passenger, who is keen on harassing its host. Intent on ignoring the dark part of his mind and search out the doctor who tortured him, Sechs leaves the room and goes out into the hall. Upon entering the West Wing, the Replica gets stalled by the drug's next wave of illusions, but is too determined to let that stop him. He prowls on to the next hall with painful memories closely pursuing him. In the Main Hallway, Sechs makes for the stairs to the second floor but bumps into two allies who insist on joining him. Sechs isn't the happiest camper in the world, but in the end he lets the others follow him up the stairs. Once on the second floor, the drug's side-effects take another worrying phase that temporarily blinds Sechs. Despite Sechs' odd behavior, Fai and Kibitoshin help him move on in his search for the doctor, leading them to a mysterious hallway as the first place to investigate. After hacking his way into the next corridor, the purpose of the rooms there sparks up the poison inside Sechs. It takes on full power and envelops him inside its shadow. Trapped within the drug's illusion, the tormented Replica gets tricked into attacking his own friends...

Later during arts and crafts, Sechs ends up in an intense clash with the staff over his attempt to restore a part of his former self. Yet his aggressive defiance gets him his first taste of the sedatives the institute uses. Later on the subdued Replica makes a less noisy entrance into his room for dinner. To his surprise his roommate offers a truce instead of insults. A cookie is exchanged as a token of goodwill, but unbeknownst to Sechs, his roommate's so-called-truce is just a trick to use the Replica as a test subject...
