Tommy Jones attempted to kill himself this morning. Obviously this is not going to become public knowledge, and Charles and I have already talked, but this is something I felt you should be aware of. Tommy and I spent a while talking and he's doing better, but I'm still worried, particularly about him staying on his own. I'm not saying he needs a suicide watch, but I think he suffers from his isolation far more than he would be willing to admit. Consequently, I think we should try and find a suitemate for him.

Obviously, this is hard because I agree with the decision not to break up any of the settled student suites - they've found their own balance about living together and shaking that up on Tommy's behalf would probably not go over very well. Have been going over the enrollment lists and trying to find someone who would be suitable, but I welcome any suggestions since I'm really getting nowhere. I almost want to say we should ask Shiro if he'd be willing to help out. He's old enough and responsible enough to understand what we'd be asking, I think, and he hasn't got the same record with FoH that many of the others do and, with Alex having moved into Lorna's rooms, he's in an odd rooming situation.

Nathan's subconscious may be a fair bit smarter than he is - I would say this had just occured to me, but now that I think about it it may not really be news to any of us. Regardless, his post about his dream has got me thinking, particularly in relation to something Manuel mentioned earlier. I'm starting to think this new weirdness in his brain may be related to the Askani, somehow, although I've no idea how. The whole thing sounds crazy but, given this is Nate we're talking about, does it sound like the right sort of crazy or do I need to be spending even more of my hours off shift sleeping? Or both?

Blast, meant to send this out earlier, but here it is now. I saw from the records that at least one of you already saw the files I left up. To explain - Nate came down yesterday evening, saying he's been suffering from brief, piercing headaches that leave him feeling queasy when they pass. He figured after we got on his case about the blackouts he ought to report it, and I'm very glad he did. He had one of these headaches while he was down here, after I'd started the tests, so we've got readings from before, during and after. It's fascinating, and also damned confusing. Moira, you're the expert on his brain, what do you think? It almost looked to me like these headaches are actually altering his brainwaves, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. After the headached passed he ought to have returned to normal, but while he settled down afterwards, it was just that tad bit different...
