Natso Nibaa / Sleep Doctor

Description

Natso Nibaa, also sometimes called the Sleep Doctor, is part of an open investigation in Cahokia.

Fifteen years ago, a group of scientists were dispatched to a remote island in a lake to the far north. They were there to study rare fungi and the possibility of incorporating it into the Adaanadi process, which as far as anyone knows only works with animal tissue.

Two years after they were dispatched, a lone man returned from the island in an overwrought and manic state.

It took numerous weeks of counseling and medication to calm him enough to relay his story. According to [name redacted], interesting progress was being made in the general study of the Adaanadi and its appearance on fungi. One day, one of the scientists, [name redacted], became violently ill and appeared to come close to death, exhibiting symptoms of nausea and fever. They believed he had been poisoned somehow.

Within two days, he seemed to make a full recovery. When he returned to his work though, his methodology and focus changed. He began putting in longer hours and became far more social than he had been previously noted to be.

Eventually, others began to become suspicious of him. After sneaking into his room, they discovered private data entries that pointed to a long list of information he was collecting privately on the fungi they were studying.

When they confronted him with this, he became angry and destroyed the computer, along with all of the data he’d been hiding. He claimed that he hid it from them because the concepts he was working with would frighten them and that they weren’t ready for it.

The team gathered to discuss whether they wanted to send this man home and remove him from the project. But while they conversed, the man left the facility and disappeared into the wilderness of the island — the name of the island is also currently classified. They searched for three days.
