                  I haven’t received a reply about my previous request to undergo testing for LYNN002. I know you are a busy man as well as I. So, I was just shooting you a friendly reminder, sir.

 
                  This e-mail is regarding subject Brian O’Reilly. We are studying all aspects of possible side-effects and issues that could be related to the drug (though I can say with the utmost certainty that it is safe) and that includes sleep patterns. Brian has had bouts of insomnia. He is down to three hours to four hours of sleep a night. When he does sleep, there is little to no reading of the REM stage. A new town, a new facility, a new crew and limited communication with anywhere outside of the complex (I will make another formal request that Brian be granted a short R&R leave) is the source of this trend. I will be keeping a close eye on him, as well as the excellent night crew here, until his sleep pattern returns to normal.
     
                  So far, Samantha has not exhibited any of the insomnia or irregular sleep patterns. However, she has been regularly experiencing lucid dreams. This is normal for her. I have attributed her short sleepwalking incident on September 30 th to the same issues that are causing Brian’s sleep irregularity.
     
                  Please do not take this as me being ungrateful. I just think that some out-of-lab time will be beneficial for them. Thanks again for the time you take with these reports and please do not feel rushed on my request to be submitted for LYNN002 testing. I do understand that we need all hands on deck around here. You have allowed Doctor Miles and me to retain our previous titles as directors of this facility and I know that we, as discoverers of the mitochondrial biogenesis breakthrough, are precious to you.

                  I am thankful for your approval regarding Samantha’s and Brian’s leave time. Being guarded and supervised was a necessary evil regarding the media firestorm I have created. Regretfully so. There was never any ill intention in doing it. I know you said it is all water under the bridge and I do not wish to re-open old wounds, but I do regret it especially after how well we have all been treated. Thank you for the week you allowed all of us to have to take some time off. It has been all guns blazing day and night around here and I think you also felt the need to give them their time.
     
                  I know you told me to write e-mails to you in layman’s terms and to leave the medical jargon to General Weiss, but there is an issue he will no doubt bring to your attention soon. The food intake of Samantha and Brian O’Reilly has gone up exponentially. I believe that Doctor Miles mentioned this to you in passing. He said something to the effect of, ‘those two are sure eating a lot.’ I do not know the source of this yet, but the two subjects have described to me a nearly insatiable appetite. The large consumption of food seems to be limited to meals high in protein. Mostly meats. Samantha is a vegetarian. Always has been. Last night, she ate three medium rare steaks and still called for two sausage pizzas to be delivered to the front desk. Brian has had similar patterns. What strikes me as off is that as long as I have known him, he always insisted that his meat be cooked thoroughly. Almost burned. The two burgers he ordered from the cafeteria this afternoon were so bloody that they were nearly raw. I see a possible protein deficiency attributed to LYNN002. Only
