It seems that Dr. Nadja dumped your computer installation and security protocol to me.
She was the one supposed to do that...
Forget it. I'll come help to you.

Dear parents
**To: Parents**
**Subject: Parents**

I'm fine. It seems to be a good place.
I can't give you many details because of the circumstances, but there's no need to worry.

RE) Update on Labýrintos Project

**Subject: Update on the Labýrinthos Project**

You probably already know about it, but it is a matter of utmost importance.
I'm sure you will do well, now that you got the hang of it.
Hit me up if you need more details about it.
Let me know if you need coffee. Coffee might be the only good we don't lack here.

I'm doing my best.
It might sound conventional, but I really am...

### Oral Administration of VF - Distribution System

The VF distribution system aims to maximize the effectiveness of VF absorption, while reducing side-effects. The System ensures a safe distribution of VF through the Subject, allowing precise targeting of specific body parts at appropriate times, based on the VF type that has been extracted.

Delivery systems are categorized based on their method of administration: oral, transdermal, various types of injections, inhalation, mucosal, etc. The results of oral administration will be observed in the current experiment.

We observed that when VF is administrated orally, it is absorbed through the gastrointestinal mucous membrane, spreading through the blood vessels and stimulating the VF receptors within the Subject. However, the delivery process through the gastrointestinal mucosa results in significant VF loss and reduces the body's VF levels to below optimal.

For now, injections remain the most effective method of VF administration. The injection method is limited for self-administration under extreme circumstances. Further research is required to reach maximum efficiency in the self-injection process.

### Ruby Bracelet Report

The Ruby bracelet is being exhibited to the public at the Chicago Field Museum's Pompeii exhibition. It's the bracelet that made the headline after it was excavated with a live scarab.

The bracelet is proof of VF being stocked in objects. I assume that the beetle experienced a cycle of endless deaths and resurrections due to the bracelet's VF. It has been told that the scarab changed into dust as soon as it has been separated from the ruby bracelet.

Fortunately, the radiocarbon dating method was not able to estimate the age of the scarab. I can't imagine the fuss it would have made if they had discovered that this scarab was living at the time of the fall of Pompeii.

Gathering data from various objects charged with VF is essential for our Researches. The relic should be retrieved as soon as possible.

### Report on the VF-induced physical enhancement manifestations

Until now, VF manifestations have been categorized into physical enhancement, VF blasts, and manipulation. This report aims to focus on the physical enhancement property of VF.

If all test subjects benefit from enhanced physical condition, the VF physical enhancement's property grants even stronger body reinforcements.

At first, we believed that the VF-induced physical enhancements were homogeneous. However, further observations allowed us to distinguish different types of physical enhancements.

16M-RFT20(Li Dailin) is a good example of physical enhancement centered on agility, granting improved celerity and reflexes. On the other side, VF granted 20M-RFT43(Nicky) spectacular physical strength. 14M-RFT04(HyunWoo) is an example of what we could call an overall physical enhancement since VF enhanced all of his physical abilities.

It seems that different forms of VF-induced physical enhancements tend to happen based on the characteristics of each test subject. The above-mentioned examples are just individual cases. Further data collection and observations are required to carry a more in-depth study of this phenomenon.

Furthermore, we should keep in mind that other forms of VF manifestations might also exist, and the existing categorization might become obsolete.

### Report on Contingent Vital force Induction Virus mutations

There is still a lot we don't know about the Contingent Vital force Induction Virus.

VF manifestation happens through 2 main different ways. The VF expression can be a congenital condition, or it can be forced by activating the VF receptors using a Contingent Vital force Induction Virus. The Contingent Vital-force Induction Virus provides active VF receptors to subjects who don't naturally possess them. For now, the research has concluded that it can be seen as a side effect of the virus.

No significative mutation of the Contingent Vital force Induction Virus has been observed so far. It is remarkable since rapid mutation is on of the main characteristics of viruses. The research team is still investigating if this particular characteristic is due to the VF itself, but further research is still needed. If by any chance the Contingent Vital force Induction Virus was to happen, preliminary research would be essential to be prepared and take the appropriate measures to deal with the situation.

### Unidentified creature found near Waterloo University... Investigation ongoing.

The body of an unidentified bird garnered attention after its discovery near Strauss Lake, near Waterloo University in Ontario, Canada.

A graduate student from IQC reported to C Media that he went to investigate a strange noise coming from the lake when he discovered the body.

### Chicago Field Museum - Pompeii Exhibition

A 2000 year-old relic, the Ruby Bracelet, will be on public display for the first time at the Chicago Field Museum's Pompeii exhibition. The famed bracelet had been reportedly discovered with a living beetle at the time of excavation.

"I am well aware of the mysterious beliefs surrounding the bracelet, but these are simply rumours," said Ed Reaton, Museum Director, "There is no such thing as an century old beetle, much less two centuries, especially when you consider where the relic was found. The beetle may have found its way through the cracked ground and coincidently appeared by the bracelet during excavation. Because of this, it had been rescued so don't you think it's a lucky fellow?"
