14th January 2065

If we get this right, we could change the world. 

People call me a mad scientist, but I have never seen so clearly, or understood so much as I do at this moment. 

We are on the brink of everything, and no matter what they say, we cannot let them stop us. 

The state doesn’t want to hear about my research and the possibilities it creates, but I know I’m right. I will change everything. 

Life will last forever. No more pain. No more sickness. No more sadness. The key to eternity is within my grasp, and I will have it. 

The subjects are sleeping, but things have been going well. 

I’m almost there, I can feel it. 

My head is hounded by the fog, once again, and I know that I must sleep too, but I can’t rest until I collect my thoughts. 

Soon, the cure will be in my hands, and my mind will be clearer than ever. This blasted mass will be no more, and I will be free. 

We’ve had good results from the latest round of injections, and it appears that the serum is having varying degrees of effectiveness in boosting their ability to fight disease.

It’s a simple process for the first two groups. Infect in the morning, with a dose of the serum, and wait for them to get better. 

The influenza group are responding incredibly well, and the sickness barely stood a chance. It was wiped out within minutes, and the subjects were fighting fit within the hour. 

The smallpox group struggled a little, but made it through the night and seemed a lot better by morning. Testing shows that the disease is now completely cleared up. 

We will be reinfecting both groups again tomorrow to clarify the results, but it’s looking positive. 

The trouble is the cancer group. There’s no need to infect, obviously, but the serum isn’t quite as effective as we had hoped. 

The unfortunate thing with that is that they were already sick, and so their diseases have had more time to make a home in their bodies. The serum is battling, but it doesn’t seem to be as strong in preexisting conditions. 

We haven’t been able to eliminate their disease outright, but we are making progress. There are good signs and positive noises. I can’t give up. We are going to try upping the doses again for this group, and with a little work and more tests, I am hoping that we will begin to see better results. 

There was one strange thing that is bothering me, though. The subjects in the influenza group are certainly giving us the best results, but they have begun acting somewhat strangely.

At first, I didn’t give it much thought, but they’ve not been sleeping. 

The nursebot raised some concerns when I arrived this morning, and after checking the surveillance footage, I noticed that she was right.

They’re also eating a lot less food. Their meals are being returned as almost full plates. 

They still have lots of energy, and they are participating in the daily exercises, so it can’t be having too much of a negative effect, but it is odd, and something to watch. 

Maybe we can cross market the serum as an appetite suppressant? Maybe even a cure for lethargy?  

I’ll have a chat with Doctor Mason. She’s working on a sleep study on the other side of the building, but I know she’s worked on appetite suppressants before, so she might be interested in collaborating on this. 

And to think, they called me crazy for thinking I could cure cancer. They’ll see. I’ll cure that, and so much more.
