## Background

In Düsseldorf, psychotherapist Sophia Lukas has been counselling a number of patients, including Jürgen Lindemann, Franka Lorenz, Daniel Kruspe, Karoline Riedel, Klaus Landers and Hanna Schneider.

## Infraction

On the 14th March 2023, Doctor Lukas called in sick and was replaced for the day by Doctor Weiss, who saw all of Lukas' appointments for that day. One of these, Josef Lindemann, left his session with Weiss and immediately stepped in front of an oncoming tram, killing himself. Since this took place only a day before detection by the Eye, this infraction was classed as a Code 11.

## Mission Outline

Initially, the only required response at first was to prevent Lindemann from killing himself. As it was a Code 11, Sarah Cunnington used her Natural abilities to Jump, along with Tasneem Hafiz, Tom Burt and Zoey Hallett, to the previous day, and stop the suicide. After talking with Lindemann and discovering that he had seen a different therapist than usual, the team then began investigating Doctor Weiss, albeit in the present day.

Sarah, Carlos Sánchez and Zoey returned to Düsseldorf via conventional means and began checking into Lukas' other patients for the 14th March:

* Hanna Schneider - killed herself via an overdose
* Franka Lorenz - killed herself by slitting her wrists in the bath
* Klaus Landers - attempted suicide by hanging himself, but was saved by Sarah and Zoey
* Daniel Kruspe - not affected as he was seeing Doctor Lukas about his father, not for depression
* Karoline Riedel - killed herself by slitting her own throat in front of Carlos

After deducing that the mysterious Doctor Weiss had been causing her patients (or at least, those suffering from depression) to kill themselves, Sarah, Zoey and Carlos decided to Jump back to the 14th (despite not having authorisation to do so) in order to track Weiss, which they did.

Weiss, apparently aware that she was being followed, led them to an abandoned building where she somehow affected Carlos before getting arrested by Sarah and Zoey. Carlos, still under Weiss' influence, attempted to kill Sarah but he was stopped by Zoey, who shot him in the shoulder and arm.

## Repercussions

Weiss, who revealed her real name to be Erika Tod, was arrested and brought back to London. However, later on, during her transport to the Void, Erika used her powers of suggestion to force the security team in charge of her to let her go, escaping custody ("Iulya"). Not long after, she convinced Cameron Campbell to give her full access to the Eye Interface in the London Hub, but she was stopped by Sarah, who had received a warning from her own future self in an alternate timeline. After being once again arrested - for the murder of Alicia Karalis, among other things - Erika once again used her powers to escape, but this time she came after the team, and murdered Andrew Wesker before being shot dead by Tasneem Hafiz ("Thursday").

Erika's influence over Carlos later led to Hafiz suspecting Carlos genuinely wished harm on Sarah, and suspecting him to be a possible traitor ("York").
