Jorgi starts to pull up the personal log files of Paul Link. He works his way backward as quickly as everyone can read the files. Sometime during the middle of this, a number of fire, police, and EMT's arrive on the scene.
To summarize the pertinent information gathered:
Paul was studying the fungus when one of the lesser energy curtains swept through the city...and the lab. Within a couple days, Paul found himself insatiably hungry, yet nothing could satisfy. Late one night, fearing he would lose his sanity with hunger, he broke down and started eating some of the Green Wool fungus. It satisfied his hunger, but only if eaten in large quantities.
Over the following days, Paul recounts how his body began to undertake strange physical changes. He was growing stronger, his skin thicker. He could see in the dark. As these changes continued, he had to eat more and more of the Green Wool. While the fungus seemed capable of growing much faster now than it had prior to the energy curtain, the size of the lab's facilities was becoming the limiting factor.
Paul mentions that he found a "secure and ideal" location, referred to as "the station," from which to grow the fungus in larger quantities as well as continue the research that he feared to do in Linderman's lab. His physical changes were too pronounced to hide any longer.
One particularly disturbing entry mentions that he fears he is falling into some sort of psychosis. He is lucid and himself for brief periods of time, in between which he has little control over his increasingly violent actions. He expresses great concern over what is happening to him.
Paul also notes that he has done a full genetic work up of the Green Wool, himself, and himself prior to the transformation (from an old hair sample). He mentions that he hopes he can understand his condition better and possibly find a cure before it is too later.
