AEP-PTSD-J

An artists rendition of AEP-PTSD-J-1 manifesting.

Item ID: AEP-PTSD-J

Enclosure Designation: Noctis

Threat Classification: MIND01

Adaptive Enclosure Protocols: Due to the nature of AEP-PTSD-J-1's manifestation, all patients of AEP-PTSD-J cannot be contained. However, ART Bravo-00 through Bravo-05 are to survey media and medical databases to ensure minimal publicized manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1. These squads are to code-named "Armament Men." All people diagnosed with AEP-PTSD-J are to be treated with Begonthotufen to limit the symptoms of AEP-PTSD-J to not include a manifestation of AEP-PTSD-J-1.

Description: AEP-PTSD-J is an anomalous condition that is very similar to PTSD¹. AEP-PTSD-J has a plethora of symptoms which include an increased distribution of war stories², increased jadedness toward the newer generation, and manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1. These symptoms seem to appear almost instantaneously after the end of a significant battle or war. AEP-PTSD-J is commented by patients to be "Not that bad." and "Not much of a problem." At the current time, AEP-PTSD-J patients consist only of American WWII veterans and ART Personnel for unknown reasons.

AEP-PTSD-J-1 is a sapient spectral human skeleton of about 164.5cm that weighs about 80.7kg when weighed. AEP-PTSD-J-1 typically wears an American WWII uniform, yet can also be seen wearing casual wear and other forms of clothing. Manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1 tend to have separate personalities, the majority of which being 20-30 year old Caucasian males who joined the army. Manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1 tend to be rather "relaxed", and can often be found idling with their respective AEP-PTSD-J patient. All manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1 from WWII veterans have identified themselves with a name that can be found in the following archives.

This leads the Association to suspect that all manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1 are linked with the fatalities of comrades of the patient. However, when questioned, AEP-PTSD-J-1 does not grasp the concept that they match the description of a U.S soldier that was terminated during WW2. The reason for this is currently unknown. AEP-PTSD-J-1 is bound to the physical limitations of a standard person, and cannot phase through objects or fly (yet are capable of floating) similar to other ghost-like entities. AEP-PTSD-J-1 is capable of (yet does not require) both sleep and the consumption of sustenance, yet seems to gravitate toward alcoholic tendencies. Reasons given by manifestations of AEP-PTSD-J-1 for this interest include "I deserve it, I served in a war!", "It's a good way to relax.", and "Shut up! What do you know anyway?!"

Interview Log:

+Interview PTSD-J-01 | Agent █████

Foreword: ART Private First Class³ █████ (IAC:⁴ Closed Uranus) was brought into Site-██ Interview Room 05B after being diagnosed with AEP-PTSD-J due to the death of Squad Leader ART Lieutenant Colonel⁵ █████ (IAC: Bad Sunburn). Closed Uranus was interviewed by Dr. Rence shortly after the manifestation of AEP-PTSD-J-1 that was later identified as Bad Sunburn CO-05.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Rence: Greetings Agent █████, I heard that there was a fatality on your mission.

Closed Uranus EP-03: This is about the fucking skeleton over my shoulder isn't it

Bad Sunburn CO-05: Fucking racists, just because I'm white doesn't make me a skeleton.

Dr. Rence: Yes, this has to do with the skeleton over your shoulder Agent █████, you realize that Agent █████ is dead correct.

Bad Sunburn CO-05: Fuck you, I'm not dead. I'm alive, kicking, and ready to party Dr. Rence.

Closed Uranus EP-03: Dude, you're dead. You got stabbed by AEP-███ 74 times in the span of 5 seconds… you're fucking dead.

[Closed Uranus EP-03 proceeds to shiver from the memories of Bad Sunburn CO-5's termination. Bad Sunburn CO-5 proceeds to slap Closed Uranus EP-03]

Bad Sunburn CO-05: Stop being a bitch! Just finish the damn interview so we can go do anything else. I'm down for drinks if you are.

Dr. Rence: We're going to have to place you in containment until we can identify—

[Dr. Rence is promptly cut off by Bad Sunburn CO-05]

Bad Sunburn CO-05: Bullshit! I go and fight for your fucking association and can't even go and get a fucking drink without being quarantined?! You can shove it right up my [REDACTED]

[At this point, Dr. Rence uses his radio to call ADF to escort Closed Uranus EP-03 and Bad Sunburn CO-05 to on-site containment.]

Closed Uranus EP-03: I mean, you are a fucking skeleton floating over my shoulder. This looks more like a JoJo reference then it does an anomaly.

Bad Sunburn CO-05: Soldier if you keep agreeing with the damn doctor I'm going to beat the shit out of you!

Closed Uranus EP-03: Sorry sir!

Bad Sunburn CO-05: Damn straight.

[ADF arrive and forcefully escort Bad Sunburn CO-05 and Closed Uranus EP-03 to on-site containment]

Closing Statement: Three weeks after the interview in question, Begonthotufen was synthesized by Dr. Blight. The chemical composition of Begonthotufen is 93% Benzoylmethylecgonine (Cocaine), 5% Methamphetamine (Meth), and 2% of a substance Dr. Blight refuses to identify.

Addendum: Alternatives to Begonthotufen have been considered by Division-IV medical personnel after numerous reports of people prescribed Begonthotufen vomiting rainbows and internal organs. The reason for this is currently unknown.⁶
