Description
Colonel Yoran Pailsen commanded the elite and notoriously brutal Red Shoulder Battalion within the Gilgamesh Confederation military. After the unit's uprising on Odon led to its disbandment, the Melkian Space Force High Command arrested Pailsen. He faced court-martial concerning his management of the battalion and its defiance of authority, focusing on financial and operational conduct. Pailsen refused to answer questions about the unit's activities, maintaining silence under judicial order.
Intelligence Undersecretary Fedok Wockkam interrupted the trial, presenting coded writings called the "Pailsen Files" and requesting Pailsen's transfer to intelligence custody for re-interrogation. This followed Pailsen exhibiting a sudden mental breakdown, screaming and stumbling, which halted the proceedings. Wockkam assumed custody, citing medical necessity, and transported Pailsen to a specialized intelligence facility on Kuzsuk. There, Pailsen underwent interrogation enhanced by the MRC device, designed to inhibit the body's self-defense mechanisms and break psychological resistance.
Under duress, Pailsen revealed his seven-year research into soldiers with statistically impossible survival rates, identifying a rare genetic trait marking an "abnormal survivor" or "supreme survivor," appearing perhaps once in tens of billions, or trillions, across the Astragius Galaxy. His research culminated in discovering Chirico Cuvie on Sunsa as the only confirmed case. Pailsen incorporated Chirico into the Red Shoulders and tested his survivability with extreme methods, including severe burning and shooting him through the heart. Chirico survived without scarring, confirming Pailsen's theories. Pailsen revealed sensitive information to Chirico, leading to Chirico's rejection of Pailsen's objectives and subsequent defection, contributing directly to Pailsen's downfall and the Red Shoulders' disbandment.
Wockkam exploited Pailsen's knowledge and research materials to initiate his own experiments. He assembled a new squad of soldiers with high survival rates, including Chirico, under the Melkian Information Ministry Intelligence Department. This squad was deployed on Galeade for high-risk missions intended to validate Pailsen's findings on "abnormal survivor" capabilities. Confined and wheelchair-bound, Pailsen remained a source of intelligence for Wockkam, dismissing a damaged disk of his notes as merely personal.
