WARWICK (CHIEF PSYCH OFFICER) REPORT OF PSYCHIATRIC OBSERVATION FOR PATIENT: HARRIS, B. (Employee #PM-19026-EH) Harris is asleep, after another dose of sedative. He seems literally unable to sleep without chemical aid. Most people succumb to exhaustion after more than fifty hours of waking, regardless of circumstances. Not Harris. His bizarre explanation of the events on the colony points to the same paranoia we've seen elsewhere planetside. His guilt is not in doubt--two security officers were present when he took Dr. Sciarello hostage and murdered Nurse Evans--and Harris doesn't deny his actions. But he shows no remorse. In fact, he insists there was no crime. Specifically, that Evans "wasn't a nurse" when he killed her. This is classic sociopathic behavior, but Harris exhibits no other symptoms. He is affable and friendly, able to empathize and offer original opinions. When questioned about Evans's murder, however, he becomes withdrawn and uncommunicative. He claims the explanation is "stuck in his mind" and that talking about it "mixes up its message". He also undergoes intermittent hallucinatory periods, again similar to those experienced by other colonists. During his long waking periods, Harris exhibits writing behavior on any available surface, claiming "the dreams need to speak" and that he's attempting to "make it whole again". What that means, I haven't determined yet. Given the complexities of his case, I plan to reach out to my colleagues for more insight.
