As part of an experiment regarding physical endurance and resistance to disease, led by the Physiognomy and Physical Research Testing Department, 5 female subjects of XXXXX age were selected. Subjects were exposed to the following conditions: immersion in water at following extremes for XXXXXXX on end, alternating between these for 10 sets; 66 degrees Celsius, followed by -XX degrees Celsius. Following this, the subjects were induced to run 40 meter sprints in a closed environment, and do jumping jacks in counts of 5. They were then injected with tetanus germs. Two months later, the experiment was carried out again. For the control group, no tetanus was injected.
Rationale: Muscle contractions and spasms are known to be great sources of strength; see attached our Medical Group's research on the phenomenon of tetanus cramps and their possible utility in our own physical experiments. It is theorized that if exposure to tetanus accompanies physical challenges, this will result in improvements to the physical capabilities of the subject due to the bacteria being induced to cooperate with physical systems while retaining its own capabilities to enhance temporary physical strength.
Results: Following the 1st experiment, 2 subjects died of complications traceable to hyperthermia and/or exposure to extreme temperatures. Following injection of tetanus, remaining subjects followed predicted physiological behaviors associated with early-stage as documented in medical research journals retrieved from existing resources: i.e., involuntary muscle cramps, paralysis, choking, and short fits. Subjects 1 and 5 failed to recover function on their lower torso due to physical inability to walk/run. Subject 7 displayed limited mobility, and collapsed on sprint set 3. All were XXXXXXXX after medical examination deemed them no longer useful.
Glory to the Legion!
