[Ben, at best, looks dubious. Physical injuries are safe, they're something to report to be fixed, even the most mortal wounds were attempted to be dealt with because transgenics, Ben knows, are expensive to deal with. Too expensive to allow to die because of an unfortunate training accident, and besides - severe injuries were nothing any of the unit could successfully hide, anyway.
But the seizures were another matter entirely, unforeseeable and unmanageable, and they'd done their best to hide them from the sergeants and the doctors when they could. Jack had started out with minor tremors during morning PT, and they'd shuffled him to the back ranks throughout the day as they got worse; three days later a guard walked in on a full blown seizure and they'd been unable to do anything except scatter. Ben can easily still recall his face the last time he saw him, slack-jawed and stupid and still seizing, and then it was like he'd never even existed.
Humans, as far as Ben is aware, do not have the seizure defect; but maybe they have sleep disorders that can be similar. He doesn't even seem to hear the reassurance.]
You could ask Doctor Tam about a tryptophan regimen. That helps with the seizure defect in X5s. You could tell him I need a higher dosage if you need to avoid it being reported.
