Document 1/3

Good afternoon, I am a public liason officer from Leicestershire Constabulary. I have come to you with some disturbing news. I understand that a number of you have been conversing, through email, with a Timothy Sykes. I regret to inform you that Mr Sykes was found dead on wastleland outside Leicester city centre yesterday. He had been repeatedly beated by several attackers wielding blunt objects. We found a number of documents on his person, along with a note which simply said "UF". After investigating a number of sources, our evidence lead us here. We have read the blog, along with the rest of your investigations, and we would like to request your assistance further. You are experts on this case, and we need your input to work out where Patient H and Patient Q are being held. Following are the documents found on Mr Sykes body: Document 1/3 - This seems to be a drug trial proposal: Project Longevity Longitudinal Trial of the affects of exposure to the gaseous form of Chemical Compound ED Distillate. Length of Trial: Maximum of 12 months for each participant. Number of Participants: Classified Recruitment method: Classified Funder: WK Pharms Site: Classified Principal Investigator: Classified Brief: One of the major problems facing the military on long missions is the issue of battlefield medicine. Serious injuries which occur a great distance from clean and efficient healthcare can often lead to long term disability for the sufferer or even death. ED Distillate is a prototype metabolic accelerant; it increases the growth activity of cells to such a rate that even major wounds can become almost entirely healed within a matter of hours. The growth rate increase is estimated to be 150 fold. We envisage ED Distillate having numerous applications for both domestic medical use and international warfare. Limitations: ED Distillate increases the growth of all cells, not to a superhuman size, but to a normal growth size – only much faster. In a normal human body, around 18 million cells die each minute and are, subsequently, replaced. ED Distillate prevents the death of these cells by effectively curing their decay. Each cell which regenerates uses a small amount of energy (partly using energy from the IMP, partly from the bodies own energy reserves) to undergo this process, this saps the patient's energy reserves and this, in turn, results in extreme tiredness for the patient. The agent also causes almost complete memory loss at the time of it being administered. This begins to fade almost immediately after the agent is no longer being administered. This is not thought to be a problem as only a small dose of the gas will result in complete metabolic recovery for the individual, and the memory will return in time. However, the effects of long term exposure may need to be explored.
