That One Patient

I walked into work today and when I got to my office, I found a package waiting for me on my desk, sent by Berry Turnover. I knew right away those were the notes his wife, Rosetta, had been compiling for weeks. When I said that she’d been gathering tons of data, I wasn’t exaggerating in the slightest. All she worked on in her spare time, it’s incredible how much she gathered. This is it! This could be my big break until I gain access to the archives and it should bring me about a few steps from solving this. But, it’s all going to take some time to go through it all but it’ll be worth it.

On the matter of Apollo Glint, Canterlot saw it fit to bring over a pony that is designated as a ‘Medium’. These unicorns are able to peer into the minds of others to determine what is causing them mental distress. Since we know Apollo’s problem stems from a combination of mental instability and possession from an ancient entity, maybe this medium, Aurora Dream, can be instrumental to the case. I know some may think me as being angry about this but I welcome any and all help in solving this. Any help, big or small, will help me in the long run.

Aurora came in this early noon, just as I got done with my lunch break. I have to say that as far as neutral expressions go, hers made it seems as if she had no other emotions, focused like a razor. In my opinion, it was almost as unsettling as the nature of Mr. Skull. Still, it was something that I’ll have work with and I’ve seen things that were a bit above what she gives off. I have no doubts about her abilities.

When she was ready to peer into Apollo’s mind, I was present for the sake of documenting the event. With a deep breath, Aurora worked her magic for what looked to be a matter of five minutes before her eyes shot wide open. She gasped with a look of pure terror that I really haven’t seen before. After that, she left the room for some fresh air while muttering something that I couldn’t make out but one bit was as clear as the day: ‘Gr-’. Could be another clue to Mr. Skull’s identity as his real name also begins with the letter ‘G’.

From what Aurora told me, despite what I assume to be a horrifying experience, she would be a part of the team but that I should also expect her to depart at any time. She also warned me that Mr. Skull, as I come to know him as, is a grave threat and that I should consider sending him off to the princesses for further study if he becomes too dangerous. To be honest, I have been considering that but I want to see how far I can go with that here before I’m forced to do so.
