  Day 147 - Third Rotation

  Station operations halted by order of Sergeant Major Stratoskha as of 0600 hours this morning. All departments suspended except combustion maintenance to keep life support and station systems operational.

  The order came from Lieutenant Voss. He's still in closed meetings with Minister Brune and Dr. Chen. Third day now. Whatever they're discussing, it's serious enough to lock down an entire research station.

  No one's allowed to leave their designated areas without authorization. Security checkpoints at every junction. Stratoskha's team is enforcing strict movement protocols.

  Still no word from Operation Eicere.

  Patient G-0217 got up this morning.

  He's been bedridden since the fever broke. Non-verbal. Non-responsive. Just lying there while his arm regenerated.

  This morning at 0830 hours, he stood up and walked out of Medical Bay. Dr. Rellana tried to stop him but he just... kept walking. Didn't acknowledge her. Didn't look at anyone.

  He walked through the corridors. Every corner. Every junction. Like he was searching for something. Or mapping the station.

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Then he stopped.

  Station vault. Lower deck, restricted access area. Only specific personnel have clearance - myself included for sample storage purposes, Stratoskha's security team, Dr. Chen, select others.

  Patient G-0217 is standing in front of the vault door. Has been for seven hours now. Just standing there. Staring at it. Waiting.

  Waiting for it to open.

  Security is monitoring but not intervening. Stratoskha's orders. "Observe but do not engage unless patient shows aggression."

  The regeneration has accelerated. His arm is nearly complete. Fingers are forming - skeletal structure visible through translucent new tissue. Another week and it'll be fully restored.

  A hand that was amputated three weeks ago. Growing back.

  My nightmare was different last night.

  Same corridor. White walls, white floor, white ceiling. Impossibly long.

  But no red door.

  I walked the entire length. The corridor just... ended. A wall. Nothing beyond it. I turned around and walked back. Just corridor. No door. No exit.

  I woke up at 0300 confused. The red door has been there every time. Why wasn't it there?

  What does it mean when the nightmare changes?

  I should talk to Patient G-0217.

  I don't know why I'm thinking this. It's a terrible idea. He's non-verbal. He's been transformed by something we don't understand. He's standing at the vault like he knows something we don't.

  But I feel like I should talk to him.

  Like maybe he has answers.

  Or maybe I'm just losing my mind.
