Excerpt 01 – Initial Report

Subject STS-4923 - Ilshalis

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown, assumed 14

Race: Unknown, assumed half-elf

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 80 lbs

Child appears to in good health with a curious tattoo along her left eye. Tattoo appears to be of psionic origin. Child radiates immense power covering many facets of the magical spectrum and encompassing various schools and auras at once. Will require further testing to ascertain capability in combat. Further inspection along head uncovered various scars left along the left side directly above the ear giving indication that she had been tampered with before. If what I assume is true, it would appear as though someone may have done some of our work for us. Child is scared and insists that her allies from the “Island” will break her out. If she is indeed from the island and brought others here with her, I will have to try to determine if there is something on this island that results in her power and if the others also share it. If her power can be controlled it would be a formidable weapon to potentially deal with threats to the city or perhaps leverage to gain access to Elion. I will await Lord Enryn's instructions on the matter.

Excerpt 02

Subject STS-4923 - Ilshalis

Age: Unknown, assumed at least 30

Race: Half Dragon, Potential full dragon

Hair: White

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 80 lbs

The initial testing on the child has proven to yield a wealth of information. On the most basic level, we've discovered that she has dragon blood. Exceptionally powerful dragon blood at that. Her power also appears to be emotion driven, leading us to determine she is likely a “Wilder”, a rogue psionic whose unpredictability and volatile nature would make her quite dangerous to anyone she associates herself with. As she is a psionic, additional countermeasures have been put in place to protect us from her power and influence. Upon being given this information, Lord Enryn has given us permission to continue further testing to unlock the secrets of her history and power.

A few of my associates seem to have taken issue with the tests we are performing on the girl. I have assured them that she is, at minimum, a half dragon if not some bastardized hybrid full dragon. We'll discover more when the testing is complete, but she is, by no means, a child. She is a dangerous creature that could have the potential to annihilate anyone in this city and it is our duty to control her. She could very well be older than any of us, and her entire demeanor could be an elaborate facade. From this day forward my associates will no longer treat her as a child and we will treat her as she deserves to be treated: A dangerous weapon.

Excerpt 03

Subject STS-4923 - Ilshalis

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown, assumed at least 30

Race: Half Dragon, Potential full dragon

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 78 lbs

Subject continues to resist testing. As per Lord Enryn's suggestion, we have begun treating her to the arena to determine if self-defense is a reliable stimuli. Subject has sustained various wounds while in the arena, resisting fighting until she it becomes absolutely necessary. Subject was also nearly killed during the first encounter after guards had to resort to crossbows to provoke a reaction. We were able to get her back to the Academy and healed enough before our work continued.

Excerpt 04

Subject STS-4923 - Ilshalis

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown, assumed at least 30

Race: Half Dragon, Potential full dragon

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 78 lbs

We have been able to ascertain the purpose and properties of the tattoo on the left side of the subjects face. Subject was activated upon a forcible trigger of the tattoo, which ultimately resulted in the death of two of my assistants from the collapse of the anti-magic field. We were able to get it back up in short order and get the situation under control. The tattoo appears to supplement innate power. With this new knowledge, we will be able to trigger her at will through manipulation of this tattoo. With any luck this breakthrough can be used to supplement already powerful spellcasters with a way to focus, or to help those with a stunted magical ability to tap into their full potential. Within this subject may lie the key to eliminating various conditions said as Brainmelt or Mindfire.

Excerpt 05

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown, assumed at least 30

Race: Half Dragon, Potential full dragon

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 74 lbs

Subject appears to be have adverse reactions to repeated activation of the tattoo. It appears to cause severe physical and psychological distress to have it activated. Continued fights within the arena are progressing better than before; the subject is taking less time each fight to complete and no longer requires stimuli outside of self-defense. More extreme measures may have to be taken soon to continue testing.

Excerpt 06

Subject STS-4923 - Ilshalis

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown, assumed at least 30

Race: Half Dragon, Potential full dragon

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 73 lbs

Lord Enryn has informed me that the subjects adoptive mother is within the city and is requesting to see the subject. Pity, as the real mother would have been far more interesting. Nevertheless, I believe the subject has progressed far enough that we need not worry about an incident. I will be interested in seeing this family member and examine their relationship. It may provide us fuel we needed for further psychological testing.

Excerpt 23

Subject STS-4923 – Codename: Dread

Sex: Female

Age: Approximately 42

Race: Half Dragon – Blue/Green Mix, Rest Unknown

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 4'8”

Weight: 67 lbs

Following Lord Enryn's assassination I have been given complete creative control over this project. Subject remains in a mostly catatonic state unless forcibly stimulated. Subject will no longer participate in the arena as the desired effect has been accomplished. Memory probing of both her and subject STS-4926 have given a wealth of information about the island and the potential threats, thus giving an increased incentive to weaponize “Dread”. We are also running out of potential stimuli, as previous methods are proving no longer effective. The most recent trial was a total success however, and “Dread” successfully dispatched STS-4926 substantially faster than we would have anticipated. Further mental probing has given way that the subject believes that many of her previous acquaintances have been slain already, most by her own hand. She does, however, maintain a small spark of life that flares up occasionally. Further testing will have to take place to try to remove this to fully achieve total control.
