E-logbooks for Pharma Manufacturing

Why ProcessXE eLogbooks are the First Inexpensive Step

Many pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises in the Indian pharma sector continue to rely on paper-based logbooks and records. However, while adopting paper-based systems, these businesses face several hurdles and compliance concerns. Despite meticulously capturing vital data such as equipment cleaning, calibration, maintenance schedules, packaging, weighing, and dispensing in these logbooks, they are vulnerable to compliance concerns, human mistakes, misplacement, and decreased productivity. Furthermore, firms must manually check the logs in line with standard operating procedures (SOPs) and operational standards, which may be a difficult and time-consuming effort. Unfortunately, many pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations fail to recognize the benefit of gathering data and developing useful insights from it. As a result, people prefer to create logbooks Software.

Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers benefit from lower manufacturing resource costs. However, they face significant challenges in terms of human resources and compliance with FDA regulations. They run the risk of losing productivity and incurring substantial costs due to product recalls or FDA warning letters. Even though they may have lower labor costs and rely on paper-based logbooks, the financial impact of such incidents can wipe out their profit margins, making them unable to overlook the importance of these issues.

The industry felt that cost of these systems is more expensive than human resources themselves, but this is no longer the case. This is what has happened in the previous five years with some large Indian pharmaceutical businesses. What the industry requires is a digital solution or a electronic system that monitors all areas of production in real time and maintains strict adherence to compliance requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11, MHRA, and cGMP practices. It’s time for Indian pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises, to switch to electronic logbook management software’s like ProcessXE, a cloud-based eLogbook system.

The Lifesurger: Genetic Anomaly

**Given my track record, I'd like to state that there are no further plans for this concept.**

this concept was made because i hate how there's not a true support character in this game which i understand why thats the case. if youre in singleplayer theres no point for it. the medimarker and feedback loop passive gives a reason to want to pick up allies and heal people. maybe this game will never fit a true support archetype but as a permanent support class mf in games like OW, TF2, and LOL it scratches an itch in my brain lmao

Feedback Loop - Passive

Healing yourself(via items) or others will make your attacks stronger. Decays over time. Amount charged is proportional to healing done.

Feedback Pulse - Alternative Passive

Healing past a certain threshold creates a burst of healing around you, harming enemies and healing allies. The threshold increases with level.

Stimshot - Primary

A single shot that can be held down to do more damage. The projectile heals and pierces through allies, while dealing damage to enemies. A fully charged shot pierces enemies and heals more damage. While an uncharged shot is a projectile with gravity, the charged shot is hitscan.

DIRECTORY: MARK - Secondary

The Medimarker targets a selected enemy and attacks it. Additionally, all damage done to the target is tripled.

DIRECTORY: BLOCK - Alternative Secondary

The Medimarker targets an ally and shields them. The target is only able to take an amount of damage up to 50% of their max HP in one hit.

DIRECTORY: ESCORT - Utility

Recall the Medimarker and grab onto it to ascend upward. This skill recalls your secondary.

DIRECTORY: MOUNT - Alternative Utility

Recall the Medumarker and ride it. The drone is weighed down by you, but can be controlled for ten seconds. The drone has less gravity and is faster than your sprint speed.

Pulse Accelerator - Special

Empower yourself and surrounding allies, giving a 50% chance to critical hit chance, removing all debuffs(except void kills, cooldown debuffs like rings, etc.), and a slight healing aura to anyone within range of the skill.

THE MEDIMARKER V1.0.0 LOGBOOK ENTRY:

The Lifesurger(Patent pending) is a prototype firearm that is meant for quick healing on the battlefield. The Lifesurger(Patent pending) excels in its ability to both heal organic creatures and repair machines, meaning that cybernetic enhancements can benefit from the effects of the firearm.

The Lifesurger(Patent pending) is also able to hurt enemy combatants by disrupting cardiovascular tissue, genetic material, and electronic signals. Through the help of an accompanying MED-E to identify friendly and hostile entities, the Lifesurger(Patent pending) is slated to be one of the greatest supporting assets on the battlefield.

Side effects may include: Vomiting, nausea, soreness, sudden bruising, death, genetic scrambling of previous users, limb loss, fever symptoms.

-= Log: 3 =-

-= Time of writing: 2025 =-

-= Weather conditions: Cloudy with occasional sunshine =-

-= Relative windspeed: 5 knots =-

-= Duties done: Inspection and maintenance of deck equipment =-

Good evening, dear logbook.

Today was a half day of work, given that it's sunday. Still, within that time, I had some things to do. Mainly inspecting things on deck and fixing things where needed. Of note was the hooks keeping the anchor chains secured. The turnbuckles were almost impossible to turn, so with a crowbar, some elbow grease and actual grease, I got those fixed up nicely.

After that, I went down to help one of the officers briefly with updating some outdated charts, but the system used for that is one I wasn't familiar with. I'm starting to wonder if this ever came up during my studies, since we use electronic charts these days. Needless to say, he had to teach me how to do it, but his way of teaching wasn't something that works for me, truth be told.

Still, with two charts updated it was about time to take the rest of the day off. After some coffee and some chatting with the crew, most of us decided to leave the port for a bit for a run. I myself decided to go for a leisurely stroll instead, taking the time to take plenty of pictures on the way along the water.

Plenty of shipping in and out of the harbour to see from ashore, as well as an old fort from the olden days of sail! The trip on foot was well worth it and I'm glad we got some dry weather today.

Needless to say, I took the time to practice knots and it's starting to get better and faster each time.

I can only hope that tomorrow will be another day with fair weather.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During CDL Training

Getting your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is an exciting step toward a rewarding career in trucking. But like any training program, CDL training comes with its own set of challenges. Many aspiring truck drivers make mistakes that can slow their progress, lead to test failures, or even cause safety concerns on the road. To help you succeed, let’s go over some of the most common mistakes to avoid during CDL training.

1. Not Taking the Written Test Seriously

Many people focus so much on the driving portion of CDL training that they neglect the written test. But the written test is just as important! It covers essential topics like road signs, regulations, and vehicle safety. Without a strong grasp of these fundamentals, you won’t be able to pass the test or, more importantly, drive safely on the road.

How to avoid this mistake:

Study the CDL manual thoroughly.

Take practice tests online to gauge your knowledge.

Ask instructors for clarification on any confusing topics.

2. Ignoring Pre-Trip Inspections

Pre-trip inspections are a critical part of a truck driver’s daily routine, yet many CDL students don’t give them the attention they deserve. During your CDL exam, you’ll need to demonstrate a proper pre-trip inspection, and failing to do so can result in automatic failure.

How to avoid this mistake:

Practice pre-trip inspections daily until they become second nature.

Use a checklist to ensure you don’t miss any steps.

Pay close attention to your instructor’s guidance on inspections.

3. Rushing Through Backing Maneuvers

Backing up a large commercial truck is nothing like backing up a car. It requires precision, patience, and practice. Many CDL students try to rush through backing maneuvers, which often results in mistakes and frustration.

How to avoid this mistake:

Take your time and don’t let nerves get the best of you.

Pay attention to your mirrors and use small steering adjustments.

Practice as much as possible in different scenarios.

4. Not Asking Questions

Some students hesitate to ask questions because they don’t want to seem inexperienced. But remember, CDL training is the time to learn! If you don’t ask questions, you might miss out on crucial information that could help you pass your test and drive safely in real-world situations.

How to avoid this mistake:

Speak up whenever you’re unsure about something.

Engage with your instructors and fellow students.

Remember, there are no “dumb” questions when it comes to safety and driving skills.

5. Neglecting to Learn Logbook Rules

Even though electronic logging devices (ELDs) are now required for most truck drivers, understanding logbook rules is still essential. Some students overlook this part of training, only to struggle with compliance later on.

How to avoid this mistake:

Learn how to properly log your hours of service.

Understand DOT regulations regarding rest breaks and driving limits.

Practice filling out logs during training.

6. Letting Nerves Take Over During the Road Test

Test anxiety is real, and it can cause even the best CDL students to make unnecessary mistakes. Many students know how to drive well but fail their test due to nerves.

How to avoid this mistake:

Get plenty of practice before test day.

Take deep breaths and stay calm.

Remember, your examiner wants you to succeed—they’re not out to trick you.

7. Choosing the Wrong CDL Training School

Not all CDL training programs are created equal. Some schools rush through training without properly preparing students for real-world trucking. Choosing the wrong school can make the learning process harder and reduce your chances of passing the CDL test.

How to avoid this mistake:

Research CDL schools before enrolling.

Read reviews and ask about success rates.

Choose a school with experienced instructors and hands-on training.

How Electronic Logbooks Work in Pharmaceutical Industry?

What is an Electronic Logbook?

In the pharmaceutical industry, electronic logbooks, also known as eLogBooks or e-logs, have been in use for quite some time. Several manufacturers have employed software to monitor equipment, production, and the manufacturing of raw materials and finished products. By eliminating the need for paper documents, eLogBooks help reduce paper usage. They also enhance visibility into production processes, automate data collection to minimize manual data entry, implement risk management protocols, establish standardized performance metrics, improve compliance with regulatory standards, centralize data for analysis, and streamline inventory management.

Furthermore, how exactly do electronic logbooks work? We will go through how electronic logbooks function and why it is critical for pharmaceutical, life sciences, and biotech organizations to use them.

How Do Electronic Logbooks Work?

An e-logbook is a programmed that keeps track of logbook activity online. To hold logbook entries such as manufacturing equipment usage and maintenance, cleaning, calibration, repairs, and other equipment-related operations, an eLogbook does not require paper. Instead, data is collected through a mobile app or browser. As a result, the risks associated with handling paper logbooks are eliminated, including human mistake, degraded data integrity, compliance risk, and transcriptional errors.

Every entry may be readily documented using eLogbooks. Entries to the electronic logbook are stored automatically with the necessary authorizations. This functionality outperforms paper logbook storage, which is often forgotten or lost due to natural reasons.

eLogBook entries might be automatically categorized and located in a serial order, complete with a date, time, and equipment tools. This not only ensures that submissions, reviews, and verifications are entered promptly, but it also reduces the danger of error and safeguards the data's integrity.

eLogBooks, unlike paper logbooks and use-logs, are not restricted to a single place. Users may access them using a compatible browser on a variety of mobile devices, tablets, and PCs, independent of operating system. You can access the internet from anywhere in the globe.

Authorized access and regulatory compliance are critical in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing. According to USA FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, electronic records must document who completed certain duties. Only authorized individuals should have access to the logbook entries or make new entries. This prevents unauthorized outsiders and pharmaceutical company employees from accessing the logbooks and maintains a rigorous audit trail of activity.

Electronic LogBook Benefits for Pharma Companies

These benefits save businesses time and money while avoiding the risks associated with a paper logbook.

1.  Eliminates Cost of Paper Logbook Maintenance

In order to avoid damage or data loss, the entries made in paper logbooks are constantly recorded and stored. However, eLogBooks are more cost-effective and appear to have a better chance of success than paper logbook maintenance. It synchronizes and integrates all of the entries and information into a single location that can be accessed simultaneously without going through multiple paper logbooks.

2.  Manages Manufacturing Equipment Activities

In pharma and biotech operations, electronic logbooks efficiently control the statuses and activities of industrial equipment. It provides real-time data on equipment usage, maintenance, and repairs, as well as an audit trail. Electronic status monitoring is critical to getting first-mine production success. This means that only the appropriate equipment is being used at the appropriate moment to ensure error-free manufacturing.

3.  Accessibility

Another advantage of electronic logbooks over paper logbooks is record and electronic data accessibility. Unlike paper logbooks, eLogBooks may be viewed from any mobile device or web browser that is supported. This means you don't have to go to the logbook storage centre to look for information on logbook entries or even submit them into the logbook. This feature limits data access to those who are authorized and should be used by pharmaceutical firms.

4.  Configuration

eLogBooks allows you to define logbook entry parameters based on the data you submit. eLogBooks are very adaptable and customizable. This allows for a high degree of form re-use. You may also examine the data in various forms and export it to your organization's reporting systems to manage and monitor remotely.

Why Use Electronic Logbooks in Pharma Company?

Other than the above benefits of using e-logbooks, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cell and gene, and biotech firms should consider the following reasons for utilizing eLogBooks:

The advantages of electronic logbooks in pharmaceutical manufacturing and biotech operations are always superior to those of conventional logbooks. eLogBooks are efficient and error-free. Learn how to use Process XE to start your digital transition and install electronic logbooks.

Research Market Prices and Trends To set a competitive price, it’s important to analyze the current market conditions and similar car listings. - Check Online Listings: Browse platforms like AusCarSales.au, Carsales, and Gumtree to see what similar cars are selling for. - Compare Key Factors: Ensure you compare vehicles of the same make, model, year, mileage, and condition to get an accurate estimate. - Consider Location-Based Pricing: Prices can vary based on the region, with metro areas often having higher demand. - Assess Market Demand: Popular cars with high resale value, such as Toyota, Honda, and Mazda models, tend to sell for more. - Seasonal Trends: Convertibles sell better in summer, while 4WDs and SUVs are in demand before winter. B. Use Free Online Car Valuation Tools Several online tools can provide an estimate of your car’s worth based on market trends: - RedBook – Provides benchmark prices based on model, condition, and mileage. - CarsGuide – Helps compare market prices across various sources. - Drive – Offers an estimate based on similar car sales. - Dealer Valuation: Some dealerships provide instant online valuations, which can be used for reference. C. Determine Your Pricing Strategy Once you understand the market, you need to decide on a pricing approach: - Competitive Pricing: Setting the price slightly below similar listings can help attract more buyers. - Buffer Pricing: Adding $500–$1,000 above your expected price allows room for negotiation. - Urgent Sale Pricing: If you need to sell fast, pricing on the lower end of the market value will generate quick interest. - Premium Pricing: If your car has low mileage, a full-service history, or additional features, you may justify pricing it higher. D. Factors That Can Increase or Decrease Your Car's Value Certain features and conditions can impact how much buyers are willing to pay: Factors That Increase Value: - Low mileage compared to similar listings. - Recent major service or new tires. - Extended warranty or premium add-ons (leather seats, sunroof, navigation system). - Good fuel efficiency and safety ratings. - Accident-free and well-documented service history. Factors That Decrease Value: - High mileage or signs of excessive wear and tear. - Unrepaired dents, scratches, or mechanical issues. - Outdated technology or missing key features. - A history of accidents or incomplete service records. E. Adjust Pricing Based on Buyer Interest After your listing is live, monitor engagement and be ready to tweak your pricing if needed: - High Interest but No Offers? You may be slightly overpriced—consider a minor price drop. - No Interest? Revise your listing with better photos, a clearer description, and adjust the price. - Multiple Offers Quickly? You may have priced too low—consider negotiating for a better deal. 📌 Personal Opinion: Setting a competitive price is a balancing act. It’s wise to start slightly higher to allow room for negotiation while ensuring the price remains attractive to buyers. Step 4: Creating a Standout Online Listing for Your Car Once you’ve prepared your car and set a competitive price, it’s time to create a compelling listing that attracts potential buyers. A well-structured and informative ad increases your chances of selling quickly and at the best possible price. A. Take High-Quality Photos Photos are the first thing buyers notice. Make sure to capture your car in the best light by following these tips: - Use Natural Lighting: Take photos during daylight to avoid glare and harsh shadows. - Showcase Different Angles: Include front, rear, side, interior, wheels, dashboard, and engine shots. - Highlight Key Features: Capture special features like a sunroof, leather seats, infotainment system, or custom rims. - Take Close-Ups of Important Details: Show tire condition, service stickers, and any modifications. - Avoid Cluttered Backgrounds: A neutral background like a driveway or open space makes the car stand out. 📌 Pro Tip: Adding 10-15 high-quality photos will give buyers a full view of the car, increasing interest. B. Write a Detailed and Honest Description A well-written description helps potential buyers decide whether your car fits their needs. Include the following details: - Make, Model, and Year: Clearly state the car’s identity (e.g., "2019 Toyota Corolla ZR Hatchback"). - Mileage and Condition: Mention the odometer reading and overall state (e.g., "Excellent condition with only 60,000 km"). - Features and Upgrades: List key features such as leather seats, cruise control, GPS navigation, and Apple CarPlay. - Service History and Ownership: State if the car has a full-service history, single ownership, or any extended warranty. - Known Issues (If Any): Transparency builds trust—mention any minor issues like a small scratch or worn tires. 📌 Example Description: "For Sale: 2018 Toyota Corolla Hatchback ZR – 85,000 km, well-maintained, full-service history, new tires, touchscreen infotainment system, fuel-efficient. Minor scratch on bumper. Price: $19,500 negotiable. Contact for inspection." C. Craft an Attention-Grabbing Title Your title should make your listing stand out. Avoid generic titles like "Toyota for Sale." Instead, include key details: ✅ "2019 Toyota Corolla ZR | Low KMs | One Owner | Excellent Condition"✅ "Honda CR-V 2020 | Full-Service History | Sunroof & Apple CarPlay" D. Set Clear Pricing and Contact Details - Set a Fair and Competitive Price: Use insights from Step 3 to determine pricing. - Mention if Price is Negotiable: If you're open to offers, state "Negotiable for serious buyers." - Include Your Contact Information: Provide a phone number or email for quick responses. - State Preferred Communication Method: Mention if you prefer calls, messages, or emails. E. Use Keywords for Better Search Visibility To improve your listing’s visibility, use keywords that buyers search for: - "Best ways to sell your car online in Australia" - "Used Toyota Corolla for sale in Sydney" - "Low mileage SUV for sale" - "Fuel-efficient car with full-service history" 📌 Personal Opinion: Listings with high-quality images, clear pricing, and a well-written description get significantly more inquiries. Be honest and transparent to build trust and close the deal faster. Step 5: Handling Buyer Inquiries and Negotiations Once your listing is live, you’ll start receiving inquiries from potential buyers. The way you handle these interactions can significantly impact your ability to close the sale. This step will guide you through responding effectively, managing test drives, and negotiating the best deal. A. Responding to Buyer Inquiries - Be Prompt and Professional: Reply quickly to inquiries to show buyers you’re serious. Delayed responses might make them look elsewhere. - Answer Questions Clearly: Buyers may ask about vehicle condition, history, and price flexibility. Be upfront and honest. - Beware of Scams: Avoid buyers who refuse to meet in person, request unnecessary personal details, or offer to pay without seeing the car. - Schedule Viewings Efficiently: Arrange viewings for serious buyers only, and try to meet in a public place if possible. 📌 Pro Tip: If a buyer asks questions that are already answered in your listing, politely guide them back to it. This filters out non-serious inquiries. B. Arranging Safe and Productive Test Drives - Meet in a Safe Public Place: Consider locations like shopping centers or well-lit parking areas. - Ask for a Valid Driver’s License: Ensure the buyer has a proper license before allowing a test drive. - Ride Along During the Test Drive: Accompany the buyer to answer questions and protect your vehicle. - Limit the Test Drive Route: Plan a route that includes different driving conditions (e.g., city streets and highways) but keeps the drive within 15–20 minutes. - Set Boundaries: Never hand over the keys without being in the car and always keep your phone on hand. 📌 Pro Tip: If you're uncomfortable riding along, bring a friend or family member for safety. C. Negotiating the Best Deal Negotiation is a standard part of selling a car. Buyers will likely try to lower the price, so be prepared with a pricing strategy. - Know Your Bottom Line: Before entering negotiations, decide on the lowest price you’re willing to accept. - Be Open to Offers, But Stay Firm: Politely decline offers that are too low and counter with a reasonable figure. - Highlight Your Car’s Value: Emphasize its condition, low mileage, service history, or special features. - Use Market Comparisons: If a buyer claims your price is too high, refer them to similar listings to justify your pricing. - Handle Multiple Offers Carefully: If multiple buyers are interested, let them know—this can create a sense of urgency. 📌 Example Negotiation Response: Buyer: "I like the car, but I think $19,500 is a bit high. Would you take $18,000?"Seller: "Thanks for your offer! Given the car’s excellent condition and recent servicing, I’d be willing to meet at $19,200. Let me know if that works for you." D. Securing a Deposit and Finalizing the Sale Once you’ve agreed on a price, it’s time to finalize the deal. - Request a Deposit: A small deposit ($500–$1,000) secures the sale while the buyer arranges full payment. - Use a Secure Payment Method: Bank transfers or cash are safest. Avoid personal checks or PayPal for high-value transactions. - Write a Sales Agreement: Include details such as: - Buyer and seller names - Car details (make, model, year, VIN, odometer reading) - Agreed price and deposit amount - Payment method and date of final transaction 📌 Pro Tip: Always wait until full payment has been received before handing over the keys and ownership documents. Step 6: Completing the Sale and Transferring Ownership Once you’ve negotiated and secured a buyer, the next step is to finalize the sale and ensure all legal paperwork is properly completed. This process includes receiving full payment, transferring ownership, and notifying the appropriate authorities. A. Receiving Full Payment Securely - Preferred Payment Methods: Bank transfers and cash payments are the safest. Avoid personal checks or online payment methods like PayPal for high-value transactions. - Meet in a Safe Location: If exchanging cash, meet at a bank where the transaction can be verified immediately. - Verify Payment Before Releasing the Car: Ensure that the funds have been fully transferred to your account before handing over the keys. - Avoid Overpayment Scams: If a buyer sends extra money and asks for a refund, it’s likely a scam. 📌 Pro Tip: If using a bank transfer, confirm with your bank that the funds are fully cleared before finalizing the sale. B. Writing a Bill of Sale and Sales Agreement A bill of sale protects both the buyer and seller by documenting the transaction details. Read the full article

Where to Buy a Truck Log Book | Electronic Logbook For Trucks

Electronic logbooks for trucks, also known as electronic logging devices (ELDs), have become increasingly popular in recent years. These devices help trucking companies and drivers comply with the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). In this article, we will discuss the benefits of electronic logbooks for trucks and why they are important for the trucking industry.

Firstly, electronic logbooks are more accurate than paper logbooks. Paper logbooks can be easily falsified or tampered with, but ELDs automatically record the time and location of a driver's activity. This ensures that drivers are following HOS regulations and reduces the risk of fraudulent activities. With accurate records, companies can better manage their drivers' schedules and avoid violations that can result in costly fines.

Secondly, electronic logbooks make it easier to manage and share records. In the past, drivers had to keep paper logbooks for up to six months and hand them over to law enforcement if requested. This process was time-consuming and often resulted in lost or damaged records. ELDs store records electronically and can be easily accessed and shared with law enforcement or other parties as needed.

Thirdly, electronic logbooks can help improve driver safety. By ensuring that drivers are following HOS regulations, companies can prevent fatigue-related accidents and promote safer driving practices. Additionally, ELDs can provide real-time alerts to drivers when they are approaching their maximum driving time, helping them manage their schedules and avoid violations.

Lastly, electronic logbooks can improve the overall efficiency of the trucking industry. With accurate records and easier record-keeping, companies can better manage their fleets and reduce the time and resources required to manage their drivers' schedules. This can result in cost savings and improved productivity.

In conclusion, electronic logbooks for trucks are an essential tool for the trucking industry. They help companies comply with HOS regulations, improve driver safety, and increase overall efficiency. With the benefits of electronic logbooks, it is no wonder that more and more trucking companies are making the switch from paper logbooks to ELDs.

The Lifesurger: Genetic Anomaly

**Given my track record, I'd like to state that there are no further plans for this concept.**

this concept was made because i hate how there's not a true support character in this game which i understand why thats the case. if youre in singleplayer theres no point for it. the medimarker and feedback loop passive gives a reason to want to pick up allies and heal people. maybe this game will never fit a true support archetype but as a permanent support class mf in games like OW, TF2, and LOL it scratches an itch in my brain lmao

Feedback Loop - Passive

Healing yourself(via items) or others will make your attacks stronger. Decays over time. Amount charged is proportional to healing done.

Feedback Pulse - Alternative Passive

Healing past a certain threshold creates a burst of healing around you, harming enemies and healing allies. The threshold increases with level.

Stimshot - Primary

A single shot that can be held down to do more damage. The projectile heals and pierces through allies, while dealing damage to enemies. A fully charged shot pierces enemies and heals more damage. While an uncharged shot is a projectile with gravity, the charged shot is hitscan.

DIRECTORY: MARK - Secondary

The Medimarker targets a selected enemy and attacks it. Additionally, all damage done to the target is tripled.

DIRECTORY: BLOCK - Alternative Secondary

The Medimarker targets an ally and shields them. The target is only able to take an amount of damage up to 50% of their max HP in one hit.

DIRECTORY: ESCORT - Utility

Recall the Medimarker and grab onto it to ascend upward. This skill recalls your secondary.

DIRECTORY: MOUNT - Alternative Utility

Recall the Medumarker and ride it. The drone is weighed down by you, but can be controlled for ten seconds. The drone has less gravity and is faster than your sprint speed.

Pulse Accelerator - Special

Empower yourself and surrounding allies, giving a 50% chance to critical hit chance, removing all debuffs(except void kills, cooldown debuffs like rings, etc.), and a slight healing aura to anyone within range of the skill.

THE MEDIMARKER V1.0.0 LOGBOOK ENTRY:

The Lifesurger(Patent pending) is a prototype firearm that is meant for quick healing on the battlefield. The Lifesurger(Patent pending) excels in its ability to both heal organic creatures and repair machines, meaning that cybernetic enhancements can benefit from the effects of the firearm.

The Lifesurger(Patent pending) is also able to hurt enemy combatants by disrupting cardiovascular tissue, genetic material, and electronic signals. Through the help of an accompanying MED-E to identify friendly and hostile entities, the Lifesurger(Patent pending) is slated to be one of the greatest supporting assets on the battlefield.

Side effects may include: Vomiting, nausea, soreness, sudden bruising, death, genetic scrambling of previous users, limb loss, fever symptoms.

[Connection to this camera has been lost.]

[CAM ROOM 1]

The door opens.

[Admin has been alerted to the breach. No response.]

Patient 4-B pulls the Lifesurger(Patent Pending) off of the wall. She misfires into her chest and falls unconscious.

The MED-E prods her body with stimulants. There is no response.

Something is pressed up against the glass. It's cracking.

[Connection to this camera has been lost.]

[EXT. CAM A]

Dr. A. Kurosawa is seen standing over the corpse of an unidentified creature. Her hands are up as UESC-dispatched enforcers approach her. The Lifesurger(Patent pending) is strapped over her back.

Enforcer: IDENTIFY YOURSELF.

KUROSAWA: I AM DOCTOR KUROSAWA.

Enforcer: DOCTOR KUROSAWA. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?

KUROSAWA: I DON'T KNOW. THERE ARE MORE INSIDE.

Enforcer: GET TO THE SHIP.

Three enforcers enter the facility. Dr. A. Kurosawa moves out of the FOV. The escorting MED-E follows her.

[Post analysis: Patient 4-B did not report to UESC authorities following this encounter. Her current location is unknown.]

Detective's Notes: I don't know how, but she somehow passed the genetic and facial recognition tests. Someone please let Captain ???? know about the background of his alleged "doctor". Although somehow I doubt he'll really care, seeing as how he's got some real screwballs on board.
