AEGIS DATABASE // REPORT 23

MEDICAL OBSERVATION: POST-TRAUMA BONDING & RECOVERY
CLASSIFICATION: RESTRICTED (Medical / Psych)
DATE: November 02, 2026
SUBJECT: Unit Gemini (A-992-L / A-993-W)
REPORTING OFFICERS: Dr. Aris Thorne & Dr. Elena Vance

I. PROGNOSIS: SPECIALIST WULFSIGE

Following the encounter with the Class-X Entity in Sector 19, Specialist Wulfsige was admitted to Critical Care with symptoms of "Metaphysical Hypothermia" and cellular disruption.

Status: FULL RECOVERY EXPECTED.

• The Resilience Factor: Had a baseline human suffered the same phase-shift impact, the resulting cardiac arrest would have been irreversible. Wulfsige's enhanced physiology (specifically his denser cardiac tissue and accelerated metabolic heat generation) allowed him to metabolize the trauma.
• Lasting Effects: The fur on his chest, directly around the heart where the entity made contact, has been bleached bone-white. This pigmentation change appears permanent. It is a scar, but a cosmetic one.
• Timeline: He has regained full consciousness and speech. Mobility should return within 48 hours.

II. OBSERVATION: SPECIALIST LUCA (THE WATCHDOG)

While Wulfsige recovers, the behavior of Specialist Luca has been the subject of intense study by the psychiatric team.

• The Shift: Usually playful and distracted, Luca has entered a state of Hyper-Focus. He has reverted to behaviors more consistent with a high-content wolf guarding an injured pack member.
• Proximity: Luca refuses to leave the room for long. He sits in the visitor chair; when he sleeps, he's still on the chair — slumped over the lower side of the bed, or at the foot of the mattress. He barely eats unless food is placed directly in his hand.

III. CURIOSITY & TRUST

Despite his distress, Luca has not been aggressive toward medical staff. Instead, he exhibits an intense, intelligent curiosity regarding Wulfsige's treatment.

• The "Vetting" Process: Every time a nurse enters to adjust an IV or check vitals, Luca stands up and moves out of their way. He watches their hands. He observes the medication vials.

Dialogue:

Nurse: "I'm just adding electrolytes, Luca."
Luca: "Electrolytes. Salt? For the muscles?"
Nurse: "Yes. It helps his heart rhythm."
Luca: "Okay. Do it. Does the needle hurt him?"
Nurse: "He's sleeping through it."

Analysis: Luca trusts us, but he needs to understand the threat variables. He is vetting every variable to ensure Wulfsige is safe. He feels helpless because he couldn't stop the injury, so he is obsessively managing the recovery.

IV. THE BOND (PACK SYMBIOSIS)

The bond between these two assets exceeds standard "Unit Cohesion." It borders on biological symbiosis.

• Biometric Sync: We noticed that when Wulfsige's heart rate stabilizes, Luca's respiration slows immediately. They are physiologically attuned to one another.
• The Turning Point: Yesterday, Wulfsige woke up fully for the first time. He saw Luca pacing near the monitors (analyzing the beep patterns).

Wulfsige: (Hoarse) "Luca. Sit for a bit."
Reaction: Luca stopped instantly. His ears went back. He rushed the bed — carefully — and rested his head on Wulfsige's arm.
Wulfsige: "I'm okay. Stop staring at the machine. It's annoying."

Since Wulfsige began speaking, Luca's cortisol levels have dropped significantly. He is still tired — you can see it in his eyes — but the panic is gone.

V. CONCLUSION

"Brotherhood" is an insufficient term. In the wild, if a wolf is injured, the pack circles them. Luca has become that circle. He is the barrier between Wulfsige and the world until Wulfsige can stand again.

Action Item:
We have moved a second cot into the room so Luca stops sleeping on the chair. Wulfsige insisted on it.
