Overview


Doctor Leyton Scott is the head of the Interdivisional Medical Department, overseeing all aspects of the Authority's medical activities, including the Research Branch's study of innovative research techniques through anomalous applications, the Protection Branch's field medics who specialize in providing aid to personnel and civilians with anomalous injuries, and the Containment Branch's on-site medical facilities which provide care to wounded researchers, CSDs, and other faculty.

Doctor Scott is an intense transhumanist, believing the natural human body to be a limit on human capabilities. In collaboration with the Biomechanical Module, Doctor Scott has conducted extensive research into the medical applications of cybernetic augmentations, and has often put himself under the operating table. Sensors implanted into his skull allow for hearing at an extended range, and a camera fitted into a glass eye allows him to see in infrared and ultraviolet frequencies. The Doctor has been fitted with a multitude of other augmentations over the years, many of which were implemented without notifying higher management. Only the Doctor himself knows the extent of his modifications.

Following a severe stroke, Doctor Leyton Scott died on the 5th of January, 2008. Due to his substantial neurological augmentations, members of the Medical Research Branch were able to revitalize him through implanting a 500 GHz biotech module at the back of his skull, which was able to restore functioning to his nervous system.

Doctor Scott's body had already begun to decay, and a significant portion of his brain matter had deteriorated. Nerves damaged due to bodily erosion were substituted with electrical wires on silicon strips along the inside of his skin that deliver electrical impulses to the disconnected muscle groups. The aforementioned biotech implant was used to repair and rewire portions of the Doctor's brain, but it wasn't enough to return him to full cognitive abilities. An artificial intelligence system was implemented in order to accommodate for lost brain function.

There is much debate as to whether Doctor Scott is still truly human, however, he remains an exemplary leader to his department, and to his personnel in the Research Branch, he is a symbol of the promising future for their work.


Further Information


Initially a mere researcher, Doctor Scott became known for his incredible leadership and uncanny foresight. The Doctor created a productivity increase of at least 50% in nearly every research team he became involved in, often improving morale as well. He prevented numerous lab disasters through his ability to quickly notice potential problems and resolve them effectively. Doctor Scott rose through the ranks of the Medical Research Branch, heading research teams, projects, and finally becoming the Director of Site-999. Doctor Scott ran for the position of Head of the Medical Department in 1997 and won hugely, and has been re-elected every election cycle since.

Following Doctor Scott's death, a number of bodily modifications were made in order to maintain his bodily functioning despite its decay. His digestive system, including the stomach and intestines, was replaced with mechanical components including a gyroscope system for maintaining balance, a multi-chamber storage device for the biological material used to repair and construct bodily tissue, and a number of batteries and low-output nuclear power generators for emergency use; Doctor Scott is able to operate at full-function for 48 hours without recharging, and power generation allows for low-function operation for an indefinite amount of time.

The engineered systems of Doctor Scott's body have allowed for a moderate level of reanimation to prevent cellular death and decomposition. Additionally, the Doctor does not require sleep, allowing for constant performance of management and leadership tasks. Doctor Scott makes frequent appearances at Medical sites across all three branches in order to provide direct leadership to low-level personnel.
