Marcus Caseon

Marcus T. Caseon (or just "Mark") was a doctor who worked at Mars City. One night, a patient came to him complaining of insomnia. Marcus then went to get the right medicine for the patient. When he came back twenty minutes later, the patient had become incredibly hostile and angry and attacked Marcus. Marcus survived the attack. Shortly afterward, he requested to leave Mars. His request is granted. He left shortly before the Demon invasion occurred, on the same ship that delivered Councilor Swann, Jack Campbell, and Doomguy to Mars. Before leaving, he encountered Doomguy. Marcus, still disturbed from his patient's attack, warned Doomguy not to trust anyone on the base, and that strange activities were taking place in Mars City.

Marcus is one of the few characters to survive Doom 3, as he (presumably) managed to get off Mars before the demon invasion.

High Incidence of Psychological Reports
''Audio log for Dr. Caseon, currently stationed at Mars City. I've just left the weekly status meeting here at medical. The most prominent topic was the vast number of psychological issues we are seeing as of late. The number of reports indicates that 10% of the overall base personnel have shown symptoms. As many people will not come in for this type of thing, the number of affected personnel could truly be in the 30-40% range.''

''It is even manifested itself here in medical. We have several nurses and a couple of good doctors out for related reasons. I'm going to formally request two additional psychiatrists on the next shuttle from earth. The two we have are being overworked and on the content of their sessions with patients is beginning to affect them as well. Dr. Caseon out.''

Patient Attack
''Dr Mark Caseon. At 15:37 patient Jonathan Wills was admitted after complaining of insomnia and nausea. According to the nurse Mr Wills was calm and exhibited no signs of disorder when he was brought to exam room 5. However, by the time I reached him at ten after four, his personality had changed dramatically.''

''When I entered the room, Mr Wills lunged at me with a scalpel he had apparently stolen from a supply drawer. With assistance of an orderly we managed to subdue and sedate him without injury. Mr Wills was heavily medicated and could not be diagnosed. But in the 20 minutes he was left unattended he managed to carve 3 symbols in his arm and cut his own tongue into 2 halves.''

''I can only guess as to the cause of his problems. I hope that additional psychiatrists arrive soon. In the meantime in response to this assault, all medical supplies and armaments will be locked in a secure hospital cabinet with the code 347. Dr Caseon out.''

RE: Patient Attack (11-09-2145)
Mark,

''Thank you for sending me the audio report. I wish the news was better.''

''I will coordinate with our colleagues here on Earth to find additional staff and resources to assist. Given the situation there, it isn't going to be easy. You may be on your own for a while.''

''My advice to you, continue to document everything you can, attempt to find the root of the problem, and for goodness sakes, stash weapons and medical supplies for yourself in case things get worse. I'm glad to hear you've already taken some precautions by locking some supplies in that cabinet. I hope it is enough. I appreciate you including the code in your report and will keep it secure.''

Leaving? (11-15-2145)
Mark,

''I hear that you're leaving Mars. I'm happy that you'll be able to spend more time with your family, but I am very worried about the deteriorating situation here. We're short staffed already. Your departure will be a big loss.''

''Speaking of which, I've noticed that Zach in Operations has been behaving more and more erratically. Since talking with you I'm not sure if I'm being overly sensitive, or if he has caught the bug going around. I swear he tried to bite me today.''

In your absence is there anything I should do?
