Advent

The patient experienced a sudden advent at age 9. According to the patient, no Adjuncts were brought in to advent Branch B1472480802-01. Due to the patient’s age, he could not recount the events that initially triggered the advent Branch alone in his room. Agents later learned that the patient’s mother had recently passed and concluded that he likely had a delayed reaction.

The patient had trouble recounting the events that transpired in the Branch Domain at advent. He could only remember a tan rabbit or hare staring at him in the middle of a white room. The Branch was supposedly terminated by the Vice, based on the patient’s account that he did not remember sparring with the exhibition. Subsequent imaging could not detect a Vice core after the Branch was terminated, resulting in a Phi classification.

Record Activity

The patient’s record is quite sparse and has not been updated in over twenty years, but has remained active due to repeated reference requests* from Station 147 Vice Management Administrator, Genesis Schwarzschild, who is his alleged primary Adjunct. Genesis has been researching Vice intelligence since her early college years and has referenced the patient’s file in many research papers. CVRS neither confirms nor denies any claims made about intelligence, both in relation to the patient’s Vice or Vices as a whole.

*A reference request keeps a patient’s profile active and makes all records visible. Reference requests require resubmission every ten years; otherwise, both the patient’s profile and their records will be archived. Reference requests can be made for archived records, though the process can take up to 30 days to complete.

The patient’s admission history is listed below in chronological order.

March 5, 1998

Patient Intake (Post-Advent)

Primary Care

The patient was admitted via Station 147 Primary Care, accompanied by his aunt, who claimed the patient experienced a sudden advent. The Branch was supposedly terminated without any interference from the patient. No Adjuncts were admitted. After a brief oral interview, the patient was admitted to be seen by the Record Proctor.

The Record Proctor performed a VGDS to verify the presence of the Vice core and could not receive a reading. Considering the circumstances, the Phi classification was applied, and the patient was instructed to attend regular followup appointments to monitor any potential activity, as Phi Vices have a high rate of reignition.

Intake Followup

Primary Care

The patient’s guardian expressed concern about excessive blights. With help from his guardian, the patient described his experience with both expulsion and extrusion blights. The patient most commonly expelled a tar-like substance through emesis, though long, curved horns were occasionally present. The patient's guardian also noted excessive and uncharacteristic nausea and fatigue.

A VGDS was performed again to verify past results, which came back negative. A 3-month round of Suppressants was prescribed under the supervision of a Blight Specialist. The patient’s guardian was assured that Pseudo Blights after a rescinded Phi Vice are quite common. The patient was instructed to take one pill twice a day and return for a followup appointment in three months.

April 27, 1998

Blight Management

Primary Care

The patient was admitted for blight management, as the current prescription was not affecting blight manifestation. Under guidance of a Blight Specialist, the patient’s dosage was increased.

May 10, 1998

Blight Management, Reclassification

Primary Care

The patient was admitted for blight management, as the increased dosage was not affecting the rate and severity of blight manifestation. The Vice Management Administrator noted that the patient’s active blights seemed to not be emitting VG. Instead of performing a third VGDS, the Vice Management Administrator requested a VGMS from the Record Proctor, which detected a lightly established network, though the core was masked. The classification was changed from Phi to Alpha, and the --omicron subclass was added. Agents noted that the --omicron subclass explained the excessive blight activity, as --omicron Vices tend to excrete higher concentrations of VG when masking their core.

Because the Vice core was still active, the patient was instructed to reach out at the first sign of a Branch. The patient’s dosage of Suppressants was increased to the highest possible for his age range. The Vice Management Administrator requested a two-week followup.

May 24, 1998

Blight Management Followup

Primary Care

The patient experienced no change in blight manifestation, and the patient’s guardian claimed an increase in severity to the point of debilitation. The patient had supposedly missed multiple consecutive days of school for uncontrollable blights. Blights were not active at the time of appointment, but the Vice Management Administrator suggested attempting standard rescission, facilitated by CVRS. The patient’s guardian agreed to treatment.

May 31, 1998

Rescission Attempt

Primary Care

The patient was admitted to the Station 147 Observation Chambers to perform rescission, led by his Vice Management Administrator with support from a Branch Coordinator. The patient displayed obstinance in entering the observation chambers after being separated from his guardian, delaying start time.

Due to a clerical error, the Branch was instigated while no Adjuncts were in contact with the patient. Staging was uncharacteristically short, and Adjuncts had little to no time to join via Bypass, all of which failed, presumably due to the newly-established network and weak tracks.

The patient experienced unnaturally severe and complex blights, most notably a fully-functioning mouth split across his torso. The patient also experienced excessive emesis, expelling a dark, sticky liquid, which had been observed previously as interBranch blights.

The patient progressed to the berserk status due to the extended length of the Branch and the inability to force entry. Despite this, the patient was able to ambulate and speak, even with the Branch in production.

The Branch was suddenly autoterminated and the patient fell unconscious, later unable to recount the events that took place inside the Branch Domain. The patient could not recall how the Branch was addressed and does not remember sparring with the exhibition.

Due to the excessive intraBranch blights, agents noted that the exhibition had likely shifted drastically, warranting a final reclassification of Epsilon--omicron. While most larval Epsilon Vices do not reveal new facets of the Branch Policy, Behavioral Analysts suggest the Vice felt threatened and cornered due to the repeated Bypass attempts and resorted to its final gambit.

The patient was advised to continue visits with an altered, more aggressive treatment plan, but the patient’s guardian refused and requested the termination of care, stating the clerical error and seeming lack of understanding as rationale. The patient’s guardian acknowledged the risks of self-treatment and promptly terminated care.

Reference Request

Made by Genesis Schwarzschild

As an undergraduate Vice Behavior major and Vice Intelligence minor, Genesis works closely with Professor Olivia Young to research Vice Intelligence. She has requested to access the patient’s file as a point of reference for her current research project. the patient agreed to have his file be included in her studies, as long as anonymity was guaranteed.

Reference Request

Made by Genesis Schwarzschild

As Genesis continues her research into Vice intelligence, she has made another request to access and reference the patient’s record for her research being performed as a Vice Management Administrator specializing in Vice intelligence research and partnering with the Station 147 Research Sector. The patient agreed to have his file be referenced in her studies, as long as anonymity was guaranteed.

Adjunct Relationships

No Adjuncts were established while the patient was under CVRS care. Any Branches were experienced off-site and/or alone. Though it was not established when the patient was under CVRS care, Genesis Schwarzschild has identified herself as his primary Adjunct. The manor in which she interacts with the patient’s Branches is unknown.

Branch Policy

The Branch Policy was not established while the patient was regularly attending appointments due to the lack of initiated Branches during treatment. While the patient can recall vague details from advent, he cannot remember any details of the Branch Domain from the rescission attempt. The patient’s Vice appears to be erratic, though it is difficult to establish a Branch Policy with only two Branches, both of which were abnormal for all phases.

Branch History

The patient’s recorded Branch history is listed below in chronological order.

Note
The patient has experienced off-site Branches not logged below, as he was not seeking treatment at the time and was self-managing.

  • Complications: none

The patient claimed to have stood in front of a sick-looking rabbit or hare in a bright, white room with no discernible details. The patient claims the rabbit remained motionless for almost the entire duration of the Branch. For a brief moment, it began acting strange and erratic, then the Branch was prematurely terminated by the Vice. The patient briefly lost consciousness when the Branch was autoterminated.
