## Clinical Analysis

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.

**【Cell-Originium Assimilation】10%**
Compared to before she left the landship, the Originium crystals shows no signs of significant increase.

**【Blood-Originium Crystal Density】0.22u/L**
The Medical department personnel who participated in giving her first aids were all impressed by Reed's physical condition. Although the process was difficult, her Oripathy has been successfully put under control.

"The first question she asked us when she first wake up was 'why did you save me?'

How do I answer that...well maybe she already found out about it now?"

To hide her identity, Reed applied for new equipment from the Engineering department when she left. In absence of the applicant, the department can only speculate about her Originium Arts characteristics and combat skills based on her previous equipment. However, looking at the test result after she returned to the ship this time, this new equipment suits Reed more or as just she said before, she's not that fond of her previous equipment. She was relieved that she can put her old equipment away but at the same time she asked Rhodes Island to keep it safely in the storage.

【Originium Arts Overview】

Reed has been able to finely control her Originium Arts and now, when she tested it she no longer needs to tell people to leave her alone in the training room and she herself doesn't forcefully suppress it.

 I remember that almost all operators in Rhodes Island who were watching her fight exclaimed shock and horror upon seeing the energy in her Arts. But now her Arts looked completely different. Some of our experts confirmed that her Arts still speeds up the activation of biological tissue but it's been held under control.

The healed flesh and blood improved the wound healing process and at the same time, the regeneration of the nerve cells suppresses the sensation of pain. Life no longer withers away from her Arts but rather thrives.

It's extremely risky for an Arts user to drastically change the method of their Arts usage without long-term training. After being questioned repeatedly, Reed admitted that when she originally suppressed her Originium Arts and used it just for healing, she would feel a burning sensation but her own body doesn't suffer from injuries so there was no need to worry.

Nevertheless, there's still destructive force contained within her blood. Even just for the sake of testing or sending her to field missions, we'll still see how her fire can instantly reduce everything to ashes. It's just that she chose to show us this side of her Arts because her dream is a peace like that.

When the medical department did another checkup on her, Reed doesn't show any negative reactions. On one hand, she already trusted Rhodes Island and on the other hand, she had accepted her identity as a Draco and the responsibilities that comes with it. Now, she's not worried about Rhodes Island getting information regarding the Draco and she's not worried anymore that she will reduce people to ashes just by touching them.

Most of the time Reed is still quiet. The few operators who interacted with her before in the past remembered how she used to wake up from her coma numerous times trembling with fear in her eyes but she doesn't say anything about it. After other Rhodes Island personnel and the Doctor attempted to communicate with her numerous times, she eased up a bit, but what makes it even better is her attempt at talking with others freely during her return to the landship.

 If you choose to talk about Victoria's ongoing chaos or her own responsibilities, she'll give you her thoughts with extreme seriousness and carefulness. When she's talking about cultures, poetries and her expectation for the future she unknowingly will show you her own sincere sadness and love. At the end of her medical checkup, Reed took the initiative to ask matters related to Oripathy treatment and protection against it.

This isn't the first time Reed initially asked the Medical operators some questions. In fact, the last time when she was preparing to leave Rhodes Island, she put a lot of effort in arranging her medical supplies that's worth for several days eventually almost turning her luggage into medical box. She counted means of injuries one by one and the methods to treat it. For her during that time, that was a mandatory procedure for her. The good news is those medicines actually may come in handy and now Reed isn't asking it for herself.

According to her, because most Tarans work in dangerous environment that lacks protection, their infection rate is relatively high. On the other hand, during the ongoing battle with Dublinn army, the Infected wounds keeps reappearing. She felt like she needs to do something about it, maybe because she's their leader or just as their companion.

Additionally, when operator Saileach left the landship, the two had a long conversation in the corner of the library. This time Reed was the one who returned to the landship and met Saileach who just came back from County Hillock again. After months of roaming the lands of Victoria region, both of them are clearly changed. When we saw Saileach leaving the reception room alone with heavy heart, we were worried that her relationship with Reed who's now allied with Dublinn will be irreparable like Bagpipe. But, the next day an operator who passed by saw them in the corner of the library.

Saileach, very immersed in reading a novel, did not raise her head to greet the passing operator while Reed was taking a nap, resting her hand on the pillow quietly while holding a half-written note in her hand. It doesn't seem like the library has witnessed any conversation until Reed left to go to the medical department. Only the sound of scribbles and page flipping are heard. Saileach later wrote a report about the cause and effect of the County Hillock incident and the living conditions of the Taran people based on Reed's statement.

We've met the Dublinn troops in Londinium. Every operator who participated in the mission probably have different views regarding them. Reed returned to Rhodes Island not as a Dubllinn, but she didn't hesitate to tell us about the Dublinn she saw and the Dublinn she thought she led.

The name Dublinn came from the surname of the two sisters. The surname, which has been hidden for many years while they wandered, represents their Draco lineage, but most Victorians didn't care when they heard it and the reason why the Dublinn leader chose this name perhaps because she wanted to mark a page in the history of the forgotten Kingdom of Tara.

The Kingdom of Tara was established by the nomadic Draco in today's Tara region. In later history, in order to resist the Nightzmoran Khagan advances, Victoria and Tara chose to merge and Victoria also awarded the title of King Gaeil to the ruler of Kingdom of Tara. However, in recent years, historian and scholars who researched the culture and history of Kingdom of Tara through collection of oral folktales and cultural artifacts believe that the Kingdom of Tara was conquered with violence and forcibly incorporated to the Victorian territory. There are even claims that while the Kingdom of Tara is ruled by King Gaeil, it was in fact a ruse made by the Victorian nobles who are actually the ones in control. Another thing that has been accepted by many people is the fact that hundreds years worth of Taran culture and civilization has been destroyed and even the Taran people's dignity and rights aren't exempted from being trampled on.

Regardless of the history, the current region of Tara has its own fair share of problems. Slow development, the living situation of current Taran people and increasing conflict between Taran language speakers and those who can't speak became the reason why Dublinn was formed. According to records, the Dublinn force has been active for the last 2 years in the Southern Victoria region but it was already formed 7 years ago. From that moment their mission is still the same: the Draco of Tara will save her people from suffering.

We can see traces of multiple parties within the Dublinn force. Some care more about the making sure the Taran people can live peacefully, some care about restoring the Draco's dynasty. However, there are an unrelated faction within who sets their sight on Dublinn's most powerful supporter, The Duke of Wellington. Reed herself agrees that even if she can only hope about the wellbeing of the people of Tara, she still needs to resolve the matters with the Duke.

【Classified Record】

Both of Reed's statement and the information we have confirmed that Dublinn, as of now, has no intention of competing for Victoria's crown. It's unknown why the only recognized heir publicly, Reed's twin sister, took such drastic route as their leader. All the information we have about her is that she's a great tactician who can deal with numerous armies without restraint, she must have deals with someone else. Maybe we'll see the answer soon.

Rhodes Island recently encountered the real leader of Dublinn herself, Eblanna in Londinium. We can understand why Reed was deathly afraid of her own sister to a certain extent and even warned us not to make any contact with her. Fortunately, when we mentioned her sister again with the information we obtained from Londinium, she didn't show such frightful reaction again. She later filled us more in the vague information we've received and explained her experience as her sister's "Shadow". She also explained to us the Originium Arts of Dublinn leaders and how it works and confirmed the same Arts are available to some special soldiers in Dublinn.

She later told us she doesn't fully understand the reason why Dublinn entered Londinium so she can't approve this action for the time being but she'll definitely face them directly this time. We used to worry that regardless of whether she want to compete with her sister for the Dublinn leadership or to prove the other party's mistake she'll fight to her death. However, she rejected such notion. According to her statement, the Dublinn main force led by Eblanna seemed like they already decided not to pursue her anymore and regarded them as allies. For the time being, the two parties are set out to fulfill their own plans and have no conflicts.

"She knows that eventually I will return to her, so pursuing me is unnecessary that's all. She doesn't care about what I think and what I want. She believes I can't hide from her and can't escape her control."

"Me? I don't care either way. If she's fighting for the lives of the Taran people, then I'm also doing the same thing. How about me? Does it matter?"

Before leaving Rhodes Island, I have an unease feeling that I could only write in a letter towards you. I remember that I can only write down a few words, but after holding the pen, I finally feel that I had the courage to trust myself and believed Rhodes Island taught me to value my own life.

However, if life is suppose to be cherished then it must be really really precious, and I don't know how to bear it. I can't answer why Outcast saved the dying me, who had taken countless lives. If I'm more than that then, what am I?

In order to answer her and answer you, I had to break out of my shell. And now, I'm writing this again tell you what I've seen and my answer.

....

Regarding my identity, I cannot run away from being a Taran, being a Draco and being a Dublinn. That's who I am.

One of the leader of Dublinn, That's me.

I want them to see life as it should be and If that's my responsibility then I'm not going to run away.

Doctor, I know that if I return to Dublinn, saving and protecting Oripathy patient isn't my priority anymore. That also mean that I can't stop the hatred that the people around you have towards me. After much thinking and consideration, I will write this letter and send it to you.

I will not become Rhodes Island's adversary, but I will not return without your authorization and call myself an Operator. Everything is up to you.
