[QUOTE="talien, post: 4749924, member: 3285"] [b]Dreams: Part 10 – Mr. Sandman[/b] The first night spent at Dinosaur Lodge was Guppy's acclimation night. No real study or observation was attempted. The idea was that the patient should relax, become used to his surroundings, and be able to have a normal night's sleep the following night. Jim-Bean stood outside of Guppy's room, yawning. It was going to be a long night. His date with Angela had gone well, but not so well that Jim-Bean was at her place rather than standing in a cold hallway. As long as things kept going the way they were going, Jim-Bean hoped he would have an excuse to change shifts with Caprice. Bored, Jim-Bean pulled out a file from the wall bin near Guppy's room and read it. Guppy's blood work was totally normal. An EEG showed an epileptic wave of force during the times Guppy claimed he experienced a vision. A CT scan indicated an increased ventricular size in the brain, which was an associated finding with schizophrenia. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan measured and map out metabolism and chemical distribution in the brain. Guppy's CAT scan on indicated cortical hyprofrontality and high activity in the left temporal lobe. Both were associated findings in people with schizophrenic illness. Neuropsychological tests (including the Thematic Appreciation Test and Rorschach test) turned up bizarre responses. In short, as much as Jim-Bean wanted to believe Guppy, he was starting to think Dr. Ivanovna was right. But after what they had all experienced, after what Jim-Bean actually WAS – who was he to say what was real or unreal? The lights flickered. When Jim-Bean looked up, a man stood in front of him, eyes half-lidded. His nametag read: BRENDEL. "Hey!" said Jim-Bean. "Hey, what are you doing? In his late thirties, Brendel looked like a stereotypical pudgy computer programmer. Brendel tried the door to Guppy's room. "What the – stop that!" Brendel ignored him. A broad-shouldered, well proportioned man ran down the hallway, a clipboard under his arm. "Don't touch him!" he shouted. "Don't touch him!" "Get him away from the door," said Jim-Bean, hand on the holster of his pistol. "Or I will." The man's nametag read: DR. PEROV. Perov deposited his clipboard in the empty slot near Guppy's door so he could use both hands to grab Brendel by the arm. "Don't disturb him or you could inflict severe psychological damage!" "That's not all I'm going to inflict—" Perov sneered at him. "I expected nothing less from you people." Brendel let go of the door. "Let's go Sam, back to bed with you." "You were monitoring him? How'd you lose track of him? I thought you guys had monitors everywhere?' "I was having trouble getting proper readings with my equipment," said Perov. Brendel slowly started making his way back the way he came. Perov followed behind him. Jim-Bean reached into the bin and pulled out the clipboard. It was Brendel's psychological profile. Sam Brendel had been arrested the month before for the brutal murder of his wife. Brendel claimed that he had no memory of it--he just woke up and found her stabbed, bludgeoned, and dead. Dr. Perov' analysis was that Sam was the victim of an extreme sleep disorder known as severe parasomnia. There was another note. It was from Warner, with inquiries weekly about his progress. Jim-Bean smirked. "So Warner's got a crazy agent in here too." [/QUOTE]
