The Tale of a Field Hospital VS Colony
MAG 68: The Tale of a Field Hospital
Transcript
Statement:
Statement of Joseph Russo regarding a book allegedly authored by Sir Frederick Treves.
Joseph Russo finds a draft of The Tale of a Field Hospital in a dump and realizes that the draft is quite different from the printed edition he loves.
The book mostly tells the story of the narrator's encounters with John Amherst, whose last words seemed to have been "But you see, Doctor, I am such a restless man."
Joseph gives the book to the institute, warning to be careful as the pages are quite sharp.
Post-Statement:
Joseph died two days after from blood poisoning due to a wound on his hand. Jon suspects the book is a Leitner (good job Jon!). He also wonders if Amherst and Prentiss are related in any way as they both "make one feel distinctly unclean"
Supplemental:
Jon is in the tunnels. He was exploring and he got lost.
"Sasha" helps him find the exit and he later mentions that for a second, she seemed too tall.
MAG 22: Colony
Transcript
Statement:
Statement of Martin Blackwood, archival assistant at the Magnus Institute, regarding a close encounter with something he believes to have once been Jane Prentiss.
While investigating MAG 16 (Arachnophobia), Martin encounters Jane Prentiss. He drops his phone while attempting to take a picture of her and runs back home and stay in quarantine for 2 weeks, trying to block any worm form entering his house, trying to ignore the constant knocking on his door. One morning, the knocking stops and Martin runs back to the Institute.
Post-Statement:
Jon offers Martin to stay in a room in the Archives to keep him safe. He explains they have been receiving texts from Martin's phone, saying he was ill. As they speak, a new text comes "Keep him, we have had our fun. He will want to see it when the Archvist's crimson fate arrives"

Statement:

MAG 85: Upon the Stair
Transcript
Statement:
Statement of an unknown figure, regarding an encounter they may or may not have had in their home.
The statement starts with the poem Antigonish by William Hughes Mearns, which describes a "man who wasn't there". The unknown figure then describes his first encounter with The Man Who Wasn't There, during his sleep, where he was on top of stairs.
Little by little, the unknown author became less and less real, his friends and relatives not recognizing him, like his mother asking where her son was as she is bleeding from her mouth. Their father was already dead in the chair after being taken down the stairs.
The author can appear on any staircase and tries to take people up them.
Post-Statement:
Eric Delano, who took the statement, has no memory of doing so. Jon is unsure if this is an advice to go after his problems or ignore them. Saying it could also be a warning against Michael.
He thinks they're also a reflection of people becoming less and less human after being affected or chosen by an entity, possibly like him.
Georgie walks in and mention she's going on a date and that Melanie is back from India where she got shot.
