OMG THAT ONE TAG FROM OBGYN AZUL #or maybe idia who has knocked you up and keeps you in styx laboratories because security is so high there !!!!!! THIS OMGGGGGGGGGGG PLEASE WRITE THIS MASTERPIECE MISS MA'AM 😭😭😭😭😭

AAAA THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING IT MASTERPIECE WORTHY!!!! I often ramble into the void when I write my tags, so I’m always pleasantly surprised and honored if they’re read and enjoyed. T^T <3

I have very good news for you, lovely anon!!! That concept is actually a wip!! :D I hope to finish it because the premise is so deliciously terrible. I must write at least one medical horror with STYX Idia; this is imperative. To be trapped in a high-security lab without any plausible way out… it’s too good!

STYX itself has so much unexplored potential for yandere fics! The fact that Ortho can control the entire security system is terrifying when you consider how he’s likely to side with Idia for everything (and we saw how he threw the entire lab into such grand jeopardy when he took over the entire system—how much of a perilous process it was to even reach the level at which Idia was at). Ortho just wants his brother to be happy and he’s happiest when he’s with you, so you must understand when Ortho forcibly locks all exits and alerts the guards of where you escaped to so that you can be brought back to Idia. He’s just doing what he’s certain is the right thing. He even tells you that your chances of happiness will increase if you stop struggling and acting so mean! Why won’t you listen? You’ll make his big brother sad at this rate…

STYX is such a gloomy place to be kept in as well. It’s too sterile and quiet, and everyone has their schedules and tasks to follow, so there’s no chance of befriending anyone in this place. The other researchers won’t spare you a glance. Orders from the Acting Director keep them silent and blissfully ignorant when you slam your fists into the door and beg to be let out. You’re almost as noisy as and prone to bouts of violence like the Phantoms. To think you’re only human…

Although STYX is likely the last place Idia wants to be, it works in keeping you safe and contained. He’ll visit with games and manga and whatever else you might want. You can have anything within the realm of reason. Idia isn’t cruel, but he certainly seems that way when he’s in work mode and he assesses you so calculatingly. So effortlessly detached and scarily clinical when he discusses your fertility with the doctors.

It’s scary to know there’s no escaping him or STYX, but it’s even scarier when you realize this will be your life. It isn’t a matter of maybe or a miscalculated variable; it’s the real, raw, inescapable truth. And that’s more unsettling than any candied lie or misplaced daydream.

please, how would the stomach ache + nausea/vomiting whump trope work in your OC's universe?

Whumping in EESU: Nausea, vomiting and stomach ache

(+ purposefully spoiled food for @witchy-shortcake!)

The classic: stomach ache and nausea as a side effect of medicine or chemicals forcibly given to a lab rat whumpee for clinical trials.

Whumpee with a horrible stomach ache surrounded by calm and unaffected ASR doctors, crying for help and begging for pain relief they know they won't get.

Caretaker doctor having to explain to the lab rat whumpee they really can't give them any meds or treatment since it'd very visibly mess with the study results and they'll be suspected of messing it up.

Whumpee having to throw up in a room full of doctors/researchers, not allowed to let it out alone in the cell or bathroom.

That uncomfortable nauseous feeling when a whumpee has a tube inserted down their mouth or nose.

Lab rat whumpee being fed meals containing tested meds or chemicals.

Class 3 whumpee being fed meals containing tested meds or chemicals then having to go back to work afterwards, gradually starting to feel weak and nauseous and not knowing why.

Bonus points if after a while the labor camp guards find them on the ground, curled up with hands around their stomach.

Whumpee coming to the camp hospital with a stomach ache and getting told they're still fit to work and they have to be back.

Whumpee becoming nauseous from even a sight of food - whether because of an illness or from numerous experiences of getting sick after eating.

Detained whumpee being fed spoiled food as a method of pressure (bonus points if the interrogators taunt them with fresh nutritious meals and/or promise to share them in exchange for needed information).

Interrogated whumpee in an already nauseous state tortured with flashing lights. (Bonus points if the interrogators are aware of their ill-feeling and they're making it worse deliberately).

"Personal property" whumpee given spoiled food as a punishment.

Whumpee having a terrible hangover the morning after their owner forced them to drink.

Whumpee is in hiding; when they fall ill with a stomach virus or food poisoning they have to avoid hospitals at all cost and only rely on their caretaker companions.

Whumpee feeling nauseous during or after torture, usually from beatings to the head or stomach.

Sick whumpee brought to the medical office with the sterile hospital smells so strong it makes their nausea even worse.

Whumpee is thrown to their cell after an interrogation; too hurt and dizzy to stand up, they vomit and pass out.

Whumpee becoming nauseous from anxiety or fear when entering their boss's office. Or a room where State Security officers wait for them to make a warning. Or an interrogation room. Or the ASR lab.

"Deep reeducation" technique tests where the researchers purposefully induce pain and nausea in their whumpee when showing them the enemy countries' ideology and propaganda.

Motion sickness. Especially when transported to detention, labor camp or a class 4 designation facility in a tiny dark cell of the van or train.

Caretaker going out for medicine to relieve their whumpee's nausea or stomach pain. What could go wrong? There may be martial law time and they don't have a permission for going out past curfew. There may be a riot or protest action on the streets and they're risking being taken as one of the suspected offenders. They may be a class 2-3 offender living in a labor commune where getting proper medication can be quite a trouble.

chapter list

_________________________________________________________

Sunlight filtered through the tinted windows, casting delicate shadows across the sterile white walls of the hospital wing. Charlotte blinked, the soft hum of machinery and distant chatter gradually pulling her back to consciousness. The events of the previous day flooded her mind, the endless battery of tests and experiments, the barrage of questions from Dr. Banner and Tony Stark, the scabs around her wrists from the restraints she’d thrashed into. 

Still not the worst place I’ve woken up. 

Her eyes flicked to the state-of-the-art equipment surrounding her. Tubes and monitors blinked with clinical precision, their data feeding into sleek screens that could display a myriad of complex graphs and charts. Even with all the screens dark, all the tubes and wires hanging limp off of them, the environment made her skin crawl.  She was acutely aware of the high-tech lab setting, a stark contrast to the comfort of her own room in the compound. 

One night. I only got to enjoy it for one night before all this shit caught up with me. 

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, attempting to steady her racing thoughts. They found the problem. She reminded herself, her fingers absently tracing the edge of the crisp hospital sheet. They’re the best scientists in the world. How hard can it really be to fix if we found the problem in one day?

After hours and hours of testing, scanning, and an ultimate hail-mary experiment with the man himself -- they’d discovered that her violent aversion to James Barnes was linked to certain olfactory triggers. The implications of this breakthrough raced through her mind. She remembered fragments of her time with HYDRA, but the conditioning had taken place so early, so long ago. It was the first thing they did to her. That was one of the bigger question marks she had about what was done to her. 

As she stirred in the hospital bed, she anticipated their return, eager to get started so she could get the hell out of here. She longed for the day when she could walk around the compound, or the world, without the looming dread of her own actions. Yet, beneath the anticipation lingered a sliver of apprehension, a fear of the unknown. What if this doesn’t work? What if they screwed me up too much?

With a sigh, she shifted her gaze to the ceiling. Despite her fears, she clung to the possibility of a future unburdened by the shackles of her conditioning. 

In the daze of her worry, the room's atmosphere shifted from anticipation to warmth. The door slid open, and in walked Natasha, her arms laden with an impressive assortment of breakfast items. Behind her, a younger brunette who Charlotte recognized as Peter Parker, carried an impressive tower of pancakes, while Steve balanced a tray stacked with an array of pastries.

"Surprise!" Natasha announced, plopping down on the foot of the bed.

Charlotte couldn't help but smile, the knot of tension in her chest loosening at the heartfelt gesture and friendly faces. "Wow, you weren’t kidding.”

“We don’t joke about food around here.” 

With practiced efficiency, they transformed her hospital bed into a makeshift banquet table, the three of them pulling chairs up beside the bed. The room was soon filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the sweet scent of syrup, and the comforting richness of pastries. All sterile scents had long since been forgotten.

Whether their plan was to distract her or they were just a naturally chatty group, Charlotte didn’t know nor care. As she picked apart the biggest blueberry muffin she’d ever seen, Peter launched into yet another story about his college life. 

“I told him, sir, please - I was literally stopping a bank from being robbed, he still wouldn’t let me retake the test! I mean come on, it’s art history. Who even decided that art history was a necessary college course! He’s just out to get me, I swear.” He paused to take a gulp of orange juice. 

Natasha laughed and reached for the last piece of bacon. “No good deed goes unpunished.” 

The conversation was easy, the trio clearly comfortable with each other. Charlotte was perfectly content to sit back and listen, savoring one of the few meals that was actually close to satiating her endless appetite. 

Just as Peter opened his mouth to speak again, the door slid open. A disheveled Dr. Banner, stood holding a tablet, looking like he hadn’t slept at all since she saw him last. "Hi, good morning, I uh, think I've found a solution," he announced, his voice carrying a note of cautious optimism. “Is that coffee?” 

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat. Hope surged within her, mingling with a thread of trepidation. Steve poured Bruce a cup of coffee which he graciously accepted. 

With a deep breath, she nodded, her voice steady despite feeling the exact opposite on the inside. "Let's do it. Whatever you think." 

“Okay, I’ve run through this every way I can imagine, making sure I’m considering everything. All in all, it seems like a simple fix. I mean, it makes sense, if we look at the timeline of…well, it wouldn’t exactly have been advanced technology they used. So it seems incredibly simple, but for the time, it would have been a massive breakthrough,” He was careful with his words, trying to avoid anything too callous, despite his obvious excitement about the discovery. 

The sterile white walls of the room seemed to close in on Charlotte as she listened to Dr. Banner's explanation. His voice felt distant, overshadowed by the memories of past experiments and the cold, clinical environment of laboratories she had desperately tried to forget. Her eyes must have glazed over as she fought against the rising panic in her chest as the words surgery and minimally invasive floated through her stupor.

"I understand your concerns, Charlotte," Bruce said gently, his eyes filled with empathy. "But this procedure is straightforward. It'll be quick, and you won't feel a thing. We'll make sure you're comfortable and safe the entire time."

Steve placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Bruce is right," he said, his tone steady and calming. "We're here for you. This will be over before you know it. You’re in great hands here.” 

Despite Steve's comforting words, anxiety clawed at Charlotte's chest. The very idea of another medical procedure triggered a visceral reaction, a surge of fear rooted deep in her past traumas. Just as panic threatened to overwhelm her, Natasha spoke, her piercing eyes locked onto Charlotte's.

"Do you trust me?" Natasha asked, her voice calm, but there was an intensity in her gaze that demanded an honest answer.

Charlotte met her eyes, finding solidarity in the closest thing she had to a friend. She nodded slowly. "I do," she replied, her voice a whisper.

“Peter, move the food.” 

He cocked an eyebrow, but immediately gathered the few trays left on the bed and relocated them to a table in the corner of the room.

Without warning, Natasha's hand shot out, the heel of her palm colliding with Charlotte's nose in a swift, controlled motion. Pain exploded through Charlotte's face, and her head snapped back, shock and confusion flooding her senses. Blood gushed from her nose, hot and sticky.

In the stunned silence that followed, Charlotte felt a strange sensation, like a fence around her mind had been torn down. Once the initial shock subsided, Charlotte let out a disbelieving laugh, the metallic taste of blood on her tongue. 

"Thank you," she said to Natasha, her eyes shimmering with tears, only half from the blow. "That was…preferable."

“I figured.” Nat winked, squeezing her shoulder. I knew I liked her. 

“Well, could you at least let me clean it up a bit?” Bruce winced, handing her a wad of tissues and squinting to examine the damage. Charlotte tilted her head back and applied pressure, blood immediately soaking and reducing them to a soggy, crimson mess. 

“Hang on,” Her voice came out thick as a result of her mangled nose. Cupping it on either side, Charlotte took a deep breath and yanked. The crunch of the reset made all three men grimace, with Peter gasping as he covered his face. “Okay, I think I did that right. It’s been a while.” 

She noticed their horrified looks as she wiped a trail of blood off her upper lip. “What, you’ve never had to reset a broken nose before?”

“We uh, usually leave that part to the professionals.” Steve gave a grim smile. 

“Well, in my experience, the professionals only care about functionality, and you can still fight with a broken nose. Call me high maintenance, but I prefer my nose to be somewhat straight. So I picked up that little party trick.”  

Even Natasha’s eyes softened, just for a moment. The nonchalance with which she spoke about her past was unnerving. It begged the question of what horrors she’d experienced that she couldn’t talk about, if these kinds of remarks seemed to roll off her tongue as easily as a story about her breakfast. 

When Bruce had cleaned her up, insisting on packing her nose with cotton so it would heal correctly, the group left her alone to change into a spare Stark Industries sweatshirt that had been left in the lab. 

Meanwhile, Steve strode out of the building to find Bucky. He located him in the training area, his expression focused as he sparred with Sam. Steve approached the ring, his voice carrying a note of urgency. "Bucky, we need you in the lab. It's important."

Curiosity flickered in Bucky's eyes as he lowered his hands from their defensive posture. 

“It’s Charlotte. Bruce thinks he broke the conditioning.” 

When they’d returned to the medical wing, they paused before turning down the hall to her room, waiting for a signal. As an added precaution, Charlotte had insisted on being restrained again, although she didn’t argue when they said the IV would be unnecessary this time. Wrist strapped down, electrodes taped to her head and chest, and the glowing model of her brain projected in the corner of the room, she nodded to Dr. Banner. 

“Alright, Steve, we’re good to go. Come on in, Buck.” 

Charlotte sucked in a deep breath, aware that her heart beat was quickening by the pounding in her ears and the beeping on the monitor. She heard the methodical footsteps again, approaching her open doorway. Finally, he turned the corner. 

He was as tall as Steve, slightly stockier. His dark hair had been tied back in a tiny ponytail, and the ring of sweat around the collar of his gray shirt told her he had come from a workout. His shoulders were slightly rounded, tense, as though he could spring into action at a moment’s notice. The way he stood, his left side was slightly hidden from view. Despite the shadow, the metallic glint of his arm caught her eye. Vibranium. Very painful when it hits you. Another unwelcome memory came knocking in her mind as Steve followed his friend in the room. 

Everyone seemed to hold their breath. Dr. Banner, anxiously checking all the readings. Nat and Peter, hovering quietly in the corner of the room. Bucky and Charlotte as they locked eyes, far from the first time. 

How many times have I seen those eyes, this face, and yet I don’t think we’ve ever actually met. Not really. Not when we’re us. 

"Charlotte, this is James Bucky Barnes," Steve stepped forward, smiling softly. "Bucky, meet Charlotte Rossi."

Bucky nodded, a tight lipped smile on his face. "Nice to meet you, Charlotte."

Charlotte blushed, a reaction she hadn’t prepared for in the absence of her violent rampage. "Hi. I, uh, I'm sorry for how I acted…before," She paused, hoping he’d know she wasn’t just talking about the past two days.

“Don’t mention it.” His eyes crinkled in the corners. “Seriously.” 

Bruce's eyes widened with amazement as he studied the data on his screen. "It worked!" he exclaimed, frantically pointing at the hologram, still glowing gold. He turned and embraced the closest person to him, who was a bewildered looking Peter. "We did it!"

Peter, still in a state of shock, smiled as Bruce set him back on the ground. "Didn’t doubt it for a second, Dr. Banner!”

“WOO! Yes! Oh, sorry - “ Bruce had raised his hand to high-five Charlotte before realizing her wrists were still strapped to the bed. “Let me just…okay, there you go!” He hugged her as soon as he released the second restraint, catching her by surprise. 

“Oh!” She stiffened instinctively, but relaxed her shoulders to welcome his excited gesture. “Thank you, Dr. Banner…Bruce, seriously!” 

“Alright, let’s not land her back in here for crushing chest wounds.” Steve chuckled, putting a hand on Bruce’s shoulder. 

“Ah, yes, sorry! It’s just that these things, getting a breakthrough, gah! It just gets me so jazzed.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Man, I love science.” 

Bucky couldn't help but let a small smile slip through. He extended a hand toward Charlotte, his eyes reflecting a mix of relief lingering reservations. "Congratulations. This is one of the good days."

She put her hand in his and he squeezed it, quick and light, before letting go. One of the good days. The words may have seemed vague and ambiguous to everyone else, but they hit home for her. When decades of your life had been lost to a string of one bad day after the next, the good ones really stuck out. Especially when dealing with an inordinate amount of trauma, sometimes the bad days persisted even in the good times. They were unavoidable. 

But today was one of the good ones. 

Natasha, clearly not one for the touchy feely part, spoke up. "Well, now that you're officially not a threat to the lives of those in this room, I say we celebrate."

Peter nodded eagerly, looking at Steve who shrugged. “Yeah, sure, why not. Training will be there tomorrow.” 

“Yes! I love off days, I feel like we never do anything fun anymore.” Peter pumped his fist before noticing Steve’s raised eyebrow. “I mean, not that training isn’t fun, I love training. I could train all day. You know what? I think I’ll do extra training tomorr -”

“Hush,” Natasha put her hand over his mouth. “Here’s what we’re gonna do. Steve, tell the recruits they’re working out on their own today. Finish their assigned routines and then take the afternoon off. Peter, get the football, the speaker, and the big blanket. Bruce, finish whatever report you’re itching to write about this and then log off for the day. Buck, go take a shower. You smell like sweat socks. Meet us by the lake in an hour.” 

“And where are you guys going?” Steve raised an eyebrow, gesturing to both women. 

Natasha grinned and started removing electrodes from the brunette, one by one. 

“To get Charlotte the hell out of here.” 

A little over an hour later, they traipsed down a paved path to the lake. Natasha carried a picnic basket full of snacks and drinks, although they were at most two hundred yards from the main cafeteria building. The sound of music grew louder as they approached the dock. Peter had laid out a large, thick blanket across the wooden boards, a portable speaker weighing down one of the corners. 

Steve stood talking to Bucky, who’s hair was still wet from the shower. The back of his sweatshirt was decorated with pinpricks of water. The sound of shoes on the dock made them pause their conversation and turn. 

“Long time no see.” Natasha thrust the picnic basket into Steve’s hands, grinning. “Barnes, you smell much better.” 

“Feeling the love, Nat.” He rolled his eyes, hanging back as Steve followed her to the end of the dock. Charlotte hesitated, still a little reserved with her newfound mental autonomy. “Hey.” 

“Hi,” She smiled, wincing as her nose crinkled. “Ow.” 

“That looks awful.” He frowned. 

“Now I’m feeling the love.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes, teasing. 

“No, I mean - shit. I meant it looks painful.” 

“I’m kidding. I avoided any and all mirrors on the way here. It always looks worse than it is.”

“Well, I know from experience that Nat doesn’t pull her punches, so I’m sure it didn’t tickle.” He offered a half smile, brows furrowed with concern. 

“Guess I better get my mind off of it.” She pursed her lips, feeling more herself now that she didn’t fear her own actions. Bucky’s eyes scanned her face, she couldn’t tell if he was assessing the injury or really looking at her for the first time. She swore she saw his eyes linger on her mouth for just a fraction of a second. 

“Guess so.” 

Hours later, the sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow across the Compound. It was a perfect fall day, the air crisp, the lake sparkling under the sunlight. Truly unbeatable, especially for their day of celebration. They’d spent the afternoon talking, letting Charlotte get to know them. Although she seemed comfortable enough, Natasha had discreetly reminded them that it was still her first week in an unfamiliar place with perfect strangers. Over stories, snacks and general shit-shooting, they’d become a little further from strangers and a little closer to friends. 

Just a little. 

Sitting on the edge of the dock, their legs dangling over the water, Steve grinned at Peter. "Hey, Parker, you thinking what I’m thinking?" He held up the football.

Peter leapt up, landing in a crouch. "Always, Cap."

"Go long!" Steve called, his voice echoing across the water.

In a swift movement, he hurled the football with a strength that only a super-soldier possessed. It soared through the air, a perfect spiral against the backdrop of the clear sky.

Peter grinned as he launched himself into the air, shooting a web across the lake to a massive tree. He swung gracefully over the lake, his eyes locked on the football. With a perfectly timed web-shoot, he snatched it from the air, the impact making a satisfying thud against his palm.

"Nice catch, kid!" Sam called out, standing. “Damn, I knew I should have brought the wings.” He paused. “Yeah, I’ll be right back.” 

Bucky walked to the edge of the dock, mock flexing his biceps. "You're not the only one with a half decent throwing arm, old man."

Steve chuckled, his competitive spirit ignited. "Let's see what you've got, Buck."

Peter dropped back on the dock with a soft thud. Charlotte and Natasha were sprawled across the blanket, leaning back on their elbows. They exchanged an amused glance at the show of testosterone. 

Holding his hand out for the football, Bucky strode to the edge of the dock. He shot Steve an arrogant look before turning and hurling the football. It cut through the air, disappearing almost instantly. 

“Oh, shit!” Peter stumbled over his feet as he leapt to chase after the football. 

“I got it!” A gust of wind blew through across the dock, ruffling everyone’s hair. Looking up, Charlotte saw Sam soaring across the lake towards Peter and the long-disappeared football. 

“Dammit, Bruce never came out here, did he?” Natasha narrowed her eyebrows. “Oh well, his loss.” 

“Okay, you had a head start.” Peter protested as he dropped back on the dock beside Sam, who held the football like a trophy. 

“Whatever stops the tears, kid.” 

The friendly competition between super soldiers intensified over the next hour, each determined to outdo the other. 

“Alright, I think I’m warmed up now.” Bucky's blue eyes looked mischievous as he glanced back at the girls, a teasing smirk playing on his lips before he released the football with all his strength.

The ball sailed through the air, Sam and Peter taking off after it. Sam got there faster, but Peter's acrobatic finesse won the day. He caught the football mid-air, swinging back to the dock where he immediately collapsed on his back. "I tap out, guys! I need a break."

Natasha smirked. "Getting old, Spidey?"

Peter feigned offense, panting dramatically. "Not all of us are super soldiers!"

Chuckling, Steve clapped a hand on Peter's shoulder. "Good job, Pete. You earned the break."

"I must be getting soft, letting the kid beat me." Sam shook his head, landing beside them.

“Alright, this pissing contest was getting old anyways.” Natasha stood to her feet. “I’m thinking pizza and shitty action movies for the next phase of our day off. Yes?” 

“Yes,” Charlotte joined her. “I’m starving.” 

They packed up and headed back for their building, Nat making a point to linger at the back of the group. She raised an eyebrow at Bucky. "If I didn't know any better, Barnes, I'd say you were trying to impress our newest addition."

Bucky rolled his eyes. “Don’t do this.” 

“Do what?” She mocked innocence. 

“Try to play matchmaker, like always.”

“She’s pretty.” 

“Yeah, sure, she’s pretty.” He gave her a dirty look. “But she was also hell bent on ripping my head off until, oh yeah, this morning.” 

Natasha shrugged. “That was then.” 

Groaning, Bucky shook his head. “I think she’s got more on her mind than finding a date to the prom.” 

“Hm, prom sounds like fun. Maybe we should have one here.” She winked. 

“You’re impossible.”

Prologue - BETRAYAL | 4

❝Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we are still alive.❞

•◉◓☆◓◉•

In the dimly lit confines of my prison, a place that felt more like a crypt than any semblance of humanity. I was trapped in a metal room, a prison. The cold walls pressed in around me, devoid of windows, depriving me of any connection with the outside world. The air, thick with the scent of sterile chemicals, clung to my senses like an unwelcome shroud.

Victor Arrenberg, the CEO of BioThera Corporation, his company is a monolith of scientists and doctors wanting to unravel the secrets of existence itself. A pursuit for the betterment of humankind now felt like a twisted ideal of dread.

Victor, a man of a lean stature, stood at an average height, his slender yet well-maintained physique. His once-ashen long, blonde hair had aged into a wispy cascade of silver hair that was pushed back, a stark contrast to his warm ivory skin and clean-shaven beard.

It was his eyes that sent a cold shiver down my spine. His chocolate brown eyes, containing an unsettling mix of hunger, curiosity, and astonishment, felt as if I were an anomaly, a specimen waiting to be studied, a puzzle to be solved. My first encounter with Victor dated back to his youth. Now, as the sands of time flowed, he stood in his fifties or sixties to the decades I'd lost within the cold, unforgiving walls of BioThera.

As I lay on the cold floor, tightly strapped, the metallic room echoing with the hum of machinery, my senses were deprived of the warmth of sunlight or the crisp embrace of fresh air. The last remnants outside the world that seemed distant and elusive.

My existence had become a tapestry of fear and sleepless nights. The restraints on my body anchored me, confining me to a reality trapped in this facility, workers aged around me, their changing faces the only calendar I had.

Three, perhaps four decades—it was a blur.

My sanity teetered on the edge as I fought the urge to close my eyes. Sleep was a gateway to their next round of experimentation, knowing they would move me when I was unconscious and weak. Staring at the ceiling of my metallic cell, I continued to battle the exhaustion threatening to pull me under.

My eyes were heavy with weariness and begged for rest, yet my body rebelled against my slumber. The memories of past experiments flickered in my mind – flashes of the pain, my insides were torn out, limbs cut out, killed countless times that made my body twitch involuntarily. Each session etched a permanent scar on my mind.

I was a prisoner of Victor's insatiable desire to unlock the secrets of my immortality. I was nothing more than a guinea pig. I was a living, breathing guinea pig in his relentless pursuit of knowledge along with the rest of the scientists. I clung to the last shreds of my humanity, hoping for an escape from this lab.

And, dear god, I don't know how much I can take.

Drifting into my slumber, my consciousness succumbed to the enveloping darkness. As my body went slack, surrendering to the embrace of sleep, it wasn't long before my eyes fluttered open, assaulted by a searing brightness that forced them shut. Slowly, I coaxed my eyes open, the room slowly coming into focus. I was met with a stark reality that sent a shiver down my spine. 

Panic seized me as my eyes darted around the sterile experimentation room, my naked body bound by unyielding straps to a clinical hospital bed, lying in a vulnerable position. I strained against the restraints, dread twisting in the pit of my stomach, my mind racing what experiment I would face today. A feminine voice sliced through the air with a cold tone, the words echoing in my mind.

"Test subject, 1008. Experiment, 1823: Water with electricity."

I refused to meet the eyes of the person, knowing all too well that she was one of Victor's workers. Desperation clawed at me as I struggled against the restraints, a futile attempt to escape the impending torment. The digits 1008 echoed in my mind as the woman continued, her words dripping with an unsettling, curious tone that only fueled the trepidation in my chest.

"Twelve minutes it took for you to die, the time of coming back to life was a minute and nineteen seconds, time of full recovery was forty-four seconds. Let's see how far you can last and do, Subject Number: 1008."

My defiance bubbled to the surface. "To hell with you," I spat, lips contorted into a snarl, my tone mixed with anger and desperation. A low hum responded, unamused by my protest. In an instant, cold water cascaded over my bare flesh, a shock that caught me off guard. I coughed as the liquid invaded my mouth, a bitter reminder of my helplessness.

"Timer starts now."

A surge of electricity coursed through my drenched body, a violent shock that twisted my limbs in involuntary spasms; no screams escaped my lips, only guttural grunts of anguish from my tortured frame. My body convulsed; each jolt felt like fire racing through my veins. The water amplified the agony; it felt as if my eyes were going to pop out. I arched my back, my brain sizzling as my regenerative abilities fought and healed my wounds.

Yet, I feel the pain.

I lost track of time as I lay there; my body, though limp, remained conscious, trapped in a persistent ache that accompanied the healing process. It felt like a vessel for pain, every cell throbbing with the aftermath of the experimentation.

As my senses gradually returned, the room came into focus. The harsh lights seemed to sear into my eyes, and the acrid scent of antiseptic filled the air. The nurse, a figure in white, engaged in conversation with another worker. My ears rang, and my breathing was ragged with distress.

"The government?"

I strained to hear, my senses slowly returning. "Yes, one of their special agents is here now. Hide the subject and clean this mess. We don't know how much the man knows, or doesn't, we should not take the risk."

"Of course."

The worker departed, leaving me alone with the nurse. The mention of government agents stirred a flicker of hope within me. Perhaps this was my chance at salvation. The nurse turned her attention back to me, a syringe in her gloved hand. With a swift motion, she injected it into my neck, the world succumbing to an inky abyss.

Save me.

My words echoed into the void, a plea for deliverance from the torment that awaited me each time the light seared through my eyelids. In the abyss of unconsciousness, time lost its grip on me. A respite from the anguish, a temporary escape until the light forced its way back into my eyes. Panic, dread, terror, anger, and despair—a storm of emotions awaited me each time I woke up.

Would the agent discover me? Would I ever escape from this fucking nightmare?

A sudden jolt pulled me from the depths of unconsciousness. Eyes wide, I grappled with the burning discomfort that coursed through me. Strapped to the hospital bed, my naked form had a fresh wound across my stomach, slowly knitting itself back together. The pain receded, leaving me in a state of uneasiness.

Then, a raspy and thunderous voice shattered the silence. "As you can see, here is my proof! Such a being does exist."

My head swiveled towards the source, my heart sinking at the sight of Victor. But beside him stood an unfamiliar figure – an average-tall man with soft honey-toned skin, cold gray-blue eyes, a man seemingly in his mid-thirties with medium champagne-shaded hair neatly parted at the side, dressed in a medium well-tailored suit.

Was that the agent?

Hope flickered within me, a small flame in the dimness of despair. Yet, as quickly as it ignited, it was extinguished. Confusion took its place, a bitter taste on my tongue as I remained bound to the cold hospital bed.

Why wasn't I free at the moment?

The supposed agent, with his cold gray-blue eyes, observed my naked form, a mixture of curiosity, wonder, and a hint of amusement coloring his gaze. Unsettledness crept over me, my mind racing to understand the situation as I pondered about why there had been a gash on my stomach a moment ago—

Then it clicked in my brain.

Did he know I was immortal? What did Victor do to me in my sleep?!

"Tell me, Dr. Arrenberg," the man's voice, deep and authoritative, resonated through the room, "are there any more beings who possess this power? Where did you find them?" His calculating gaze shifted from me to Victor, awaiting an answer.

Victor, a slight frown creasing his lips, responded, "Unfortunately, no, Mr. Kane. They are the only ones who have it. As for where I found them, it was an investigation one of my subordinates took an interest in. There was a legend or myth of a being with the power of immortality, supported by historical articles and pictures of them in the past."

My heart pounded as Victor's words triggered flashes of memories – tales, titles, and the weight of being something more than human. A myth. A legend. A being dismissed as mere fantasy. I didn't think much of it, assuming no one would believe I was immortal.

Yet here I am.

Victor's eyes sparkled with a twisted joy as he continued, unraveling the fragments of a portion of my past. "I don’t know much. All I know is they were a hitman or assassin when I met them. My team captured them, and here we are. In my possession."

A knot tightened in my stomach before I could say anything; Mr. Kane, however, interjected, capturing our attention. "I have a proposition to make," he declared, the weight of his words settling over us like a shroud.

"The evidence you have provided, and documents of the test results you have shown me what they are capable of. I would like to make them more beneficial for the country and for the government. I believe you understand what I am saying, Doctor."

Dread clung to my chest as the realization set in like a heavy blow. Mr. Kane didn't see me as a mere experiment, a lab rat for scientific pursuits. In his eyes, I wasn't just a being to be dissected and probed.

He saw me as a weapon.

“Or, if it is possible enough to utilize them to create an army of immortal soldiers by their blood. If it does not work, then I am afraid to say we will take immense measures.”

Mr. Kane's words hung in the air, a heavy cloud that cast a shadow over my already shattered world. The anxiety inside me swelled, and horror clawed at my senses. My body shuddered involuntarily, a silent plea for the man not to suggest what I feared.

Victor's surprise was fleeting, replaced by a curious gleam in his eyes as he processed the implications. "Agent Ethan Kane, are you saying what I believe you are saying?"

"Yes, using their body. Ever since World War Two wreaked havoc, and neighboring countries armed themselves with nuclear bombs, I consider them to be very beneficial to protect our country. We will never know if there will be another war outbreak or someone to threaten us."

Agent Ethan Kane, the supposed savior of my torment, instead brought me more misery. My heart pounded, echoing the misery and despair that filled the room. The discussion between them left me utterly broken, shocked, and slowly descending into madness.

"Now, now, Mr. Kane, I believe I had them first. I still have much more to study and further test out the medicines I have developed. This can change the world and save many lives. Don’t you see? This is the peak of science and medicine!"

“Dr. Arrenberg, I do appreciate and admire the ways you want to save people from diseases. I congratulate you on creating treatments that saved thousands from cancer. However, I need you to understand how they would be even more beneficial if they joined our military ranks.”

Their voices clashed in my mind, drowning me in a sea of despair as they argued. Victor insisted I stay in the lab, while Ethan wanted me to join the government. As they deliberated on how to come to an agreement, I stared at them in alarm, bound and strapped to the hospital bed, exposed and vulnerable.

They discussed their plans and ideals in front of me, stealing glances that sent shivers down my spine. Victor's assistant entered to report, but Victor dismissed him, and Ethan requested drinks.

My dignity and honor had been stripped away, leaving me feeling like a captive animal. They discussed using me as a weapon, a test subject, or a super soldier, all while completely ignoring my presence. The smell of coffee mixed with the acrid scent of alcohol, permeated the room as the employee served the two men.

My feelings didn’t matter; my existence was just for their benefit. They stood sipping while discussing their disagreement, I was simply a tool or an object to them, not even a human. They sipped their drinks, their eyes scanning my naked form as if I were a specimen on display.

The least they could do was carry their discussion elsewhere, but no, they revealed it in their discourse right in front of me, discussing my future as if it were a casual topic like the weather.

I was terrified, uncomfortable, and in despair. I had believed the agent would help me, but it all came crashing down. I was feeling so many emotions at once—shock, discomfort, despair. I couldn't find words to scream, protest, or say anything. I was at a loss for words.

In emotional distress, the agent made no effort to conceal his actions, which horrified me even more. I felt so utterly small and helpless. Ethan's voice, deep and authoritative, resonated within me as his cold gray-blue eyes bore into mine, finally acknowledging my existence.

"Tell me, what made you like this? How long have you lived? I know Victor theorized you can possibly live for thousands of years; however, I need you to give me an honest answer."

His questions pierced through the haze of my confusion, and my gaze darted away, unwilling to meet the intensity of his stare. Thoughts raced through my mind like a tempest, each one a potential storm threatening to worsen my already dangerous situation.

The realization hit me—the Stone Era, over a million years ago. Victor was unaware of my full history; he was far obsessed with unlocking my immortality. If Ethan discovered the vast expanse of my existence, the wars, battles, and centuries of warfare experience, the extent of my knowledge and wisdom, I would become an irresistible prize. 

I knew it would be the end for me if I say anything.

So, I clung to silence, wary of the consequences that lurked in the shadows. The silence stretched, an unspoken tension enveloping us until Ethan broke it. "Hmm… not going to respond? Dr. Arrenberg, I would like to propose a deal that would benefit us in the end."

Victor's amusement waned, replaced by a subtle flinch at Ethan's words. "Oh?" he responded cautiously, "What would you like to propose? I said already, I will not hand you to them."

"I have the documents, evidence, and reports. Enough to shut off this company and throw you in prison." Victor's eyes narrowed, a flicker of vulnerability surfacing as Ethan continued his ultimatum.

"I cannot stay here for long and babysit you. So, I will hire a man, and you will do everything that he says. If you show any signs of betrayal or fail to follow orders, he will report to me."

"And who is he?" Victor demanded, and Ethan's response hung in the air.

"Lascell Guerrier."

══════ ⋆★⋆ ══════

This man named Lascell Guerrier, hired by Ethan, a scientist and psychologist in his mid-twenties with fair ivory skin and a towering figure that loomed above six feet. Dark blue, straight hair cascaded below his shoulders, but it was his eyes that stole my attention—pinkish magenta. An oddity that I didn't let distract me, given the circumstances.

In the chilly lab room, I found myself perched in the corner of my cell, the cold metal walls and unforgiving bulletproof glass offering no solace. The chill in the air was palpable, and my unclothe form shivered in the frigid environment.

“So, you’re the subject?”

Lascell's voice resonated, a deep and composed tone echoing through the sterile atmosphere. Lascell observed me from behind the glass like a caged creature; his magenta eyes, cold and calculating, locked with mine. With Ethan's departure, Victor's reign over BioThera ended, being under the control of Lascell who is in charge of continuing my experiments.

"My name is Lascell Guerrier," he announced. His gaze lingered, probing my defiance. "And what is your name?" His question was a moment of odd vulnerability, my breath hitched, and my body tensed.

Did he genuinely ask for my name? Instead of calling me by that subject number?

A fleeting moment of humanity surfaced before I remembered his alliance with Ethan and Victor. My eyes narrowed in suspicion as I hesitantly answered, "[First Name]." Silence lingered as he waited for more, "And? Any last name?" Shaking my head, I had no last name, or it was lost to the relentless march of time.

"Dr. Arrenberg told me you have been an assassin once. Before you were captured, was that correct?"

A solemn nod was my reply, the futility of hiding my past evident when Victor held the damning records and documents of that incident. How did a mission to save lives lead to this horrifying life?

"When Mr. Kane told me the agenda and why I was hired, never have I thought to see an immortal being. Immortality does exist after I saw the footage of you coming back to life," Lascell admitted, a glint of curiosity and something resembling pity in his magenta eyes and moved closer to the bulletproof glass.

"Does it hurt? When you're killed and come back to life?"

His question caught me off guard, and there was a hint of sympathy in his tone or concern. I snapped, my frustration bubbling to the surface and a scowl etching my lips.

"You don't say? Of course, it does!"

My fists thudded against the bulletproof glass, a futile attempt to break free. His composure remains unshaken, leaving me to grapple with the complexities of being a living anomaly in the hands of a man who appeared more curious than malicious.

"I may be immortal, but that doesn't mean I am immortal both in mind and heart."

Silence filled in the room, the weight of my existence and the torment I endured echoing in the stillness, the insanity eating me inside. Lascell's magenta eyes held a glint of understanding or perhaps something more profound beneath the surface.

“How long have you been here?”

Lascell's voice cut through the sterile air, his calm tone carrying an unexpected softness that tugged at my frayed emotions. The emotions, long suppressed, churned within me, threatening to spill over. "What do you think?" I snapped, the distress evident in my trembling words.

"Didn't that bastard, Victor, tell you? I was stuck here for maybe three or four decades. I don’t know!?" Frustration clawed at my mind, and I found myself uncontrollably scraping my fingers against the glass wall as if trying to break free from the suffocating reality that imprisoned me.

Calm down, calm down. I’m going to say something that would expose my history even more if I am not careful.

Despite the internal plea, I was losing the battle against the storm within. My fists pounded against the bulletproof glass, my breathing erratic, my teeth gritted, and my heart thundering in my chest. Each strike was a release of pent-up frustration, a futile attempt to break free from the reality I was in.

“Calm down—”

“How can I?! When you are here trying to get information about me for Ethan Kane. I will never escape, will I?!”

I interrupted Lascell before he could complete his sentence, my outburst met with a momentary spark of pity in his eyes. I dismissed any hint of sympathy, convinced it was an act for his true intentions.

“Breathe, breathe in and out, follow me.”

Lascell's voice, a calm undercurrent, penetrated the chaos. I glared at him, skeptical, but obediently followed his lead, fingers still trembling. The metallic scent of the walls and the sterile air entered my nose with each inhale and dissipated with a slow exhale. The rhythm of my breathing synced with Lascell's breathing. I followed the steps, focusing on his voice behind the glass.

“Keep doing that, I want you to imagine a place you call home, a comforting place, a safe place.”

A safe place.

Do I even have a place to call home?

His words stirred a realization, a tidal wave that swept away anger and replaced it with despair and sorrow. The realization that I never had a place to call home, or a safe haven washed over me. Memories of Jiro Griffin, my deceased comrade and lover, surfaced—my only solace in a tumultuous world.

But that home was gone.

"Home is gone," I whispered, the weight of those words settling heavily on my shoulders, and I hadn’t realized tears streamed down my cheeks. The cave where I grew up, even with the memories of my mother, only brought loneliness after her passing and I never met my father.

“I don’t have one.”

The admission slipped out; a raw truth bared in the air. My goal in life, to find happiness and joy through saving lives and serving justice, had led me to this desolate lab, teetering on the edge of insanity.

Lascell's eyes softened, a fleeting pang of hurt crossing his features. He maintained his calm and composed facade, a professional demeanor masking any personal emotions. Despite the need to stay detached, the sight of my tears made him pause, a momentary crack in the armor of his professional exterior.

The abrupt slam of a door jolted me from my thoughts, a harsh sound reverberating through the cold confines of my cell. Instinctively, my feet stumbled backward, seeking refuge in the corner. Tension gripped my body, muscles coiling with a reflex born from the countless instances of fear and trauma.

"I apologize, Mr. Guerrier for interrupting," a male voice intruded upon the stillness, instantly recognizable as one of Victor's associates. "However, it's time for Subject 1008 to proceed to the next stage of testing. We hope that their blood would be able to produce immortal people—”

"No, that won’t be necessary." Lascell's authoritative and calm voice cut through the worker's words. Confusion laced the worker's response. "Pardon?"

"Set up a new schedule time for their testing. Move it to another day." Lascell's unexpected intervention left me in a state of disbelief.

Was he genuinely caring, or was this a manipulation to gain my trust and extract my secrets?

My mind raced with conflicting thoughts, each possibility unfolding like a twisted puzzle. Regardless, a wave of calmness washed over me; however brief, from the upcoming experimentation for the next day.

At least today... I can take a breather. But not yet, I’m still trapped. They were going to find a way to get information from me. One way or another, it would be extracted out of me.

Was there any hope left?

══════ ⋆★⋆ ══════

Trapped in the never-ending cycle of experiments, I found a peculiar solace in the arrival of Lascell, the man who took over BioThera. Strangely, the torturous tests seemed to lessen under his watch, becoming less frequent and mercifully less lethal.

On those rare solitary days in my prison, Lascell would pay me a visit, attempting to initiate casual conversations that left me on edge. It was hard to discern whether his friendliness was genuine or a cunning ploy to break down my defenses.

The uncertainty played out in my mind, a relentless tug-of-war between the kindness he displayed and the distrust that simmered within me. Lascell's questions about my preferences and interests.

What's your favorite color? What food do you like? What animals do you think are cool? What's your taste in music? I answered, guarded but willing to engage in these mundane conversations. Decades of torment had left me unaccustomed to kindness I hadn't experienced for a long time.

As the days unfolded, I discovered the uniqueness of my blood that those scientists tested. It was a failed experiment to create immortal beings. Failed attempts to create immortal beings only intensified the dread. The fear of the thought of Ethan ordering Victor to use my body as a breeding stock intensified with each experiment's failure.

Time blurred into an indistinct haze, but with Lascell's visits, I managed to anchor myself in some semblance of reality. Forty-four years had passed since my imprisonment, four of which I'd spent with Lascell.

His friendship, or whatever it was, brought a cautious warmth to my otherwise desolate days. I lashed out in paranoia, unsure if his kindness was a guise for manipulation. Despite my wariness, I found a strange comfort in our interactions, a brief escape from the cold, clinical reality of my surroundings.

Whenever I snapped at him, a storm of emotions churned within, yet he persisted, offering moments of normalcy amid the chaos. The scientists treated me like an object, but with Lascell, I tasted the flicker of hope that I thought was extinguished.

Talking to him, even in trivial exchanges, offered a reprieve from the insanity of isolation and the dehumanizing experiments. Gradually, my outbursts subsided, and emotional turbulence found stability, Lascell helped me regain fragments of my sanity.

An idea sparked in my mind – If I continued these conversations, walking the tightrope of revealing nothing about my secrets or history while rebuilding my composure and sanity, perhaps a sliver of hope remained. A hope, a possibility of escape. I would just pretend to trust him and use him for my benefit.

That was the plan.

But not the plan to grow attached to him.

That was not the fucking plan.

[killed-by-choice]

Beverly Ann Moore, 15 (USA 1975)

On July 11, 1975, 15-year-old Beverly’s parents brought her to the Chattanooga Women's Clinic (the "Lime 5" facility) for a legal abortion. Tuckey Hayes was the abortionist who killed Beverly and her unborn baby.

Beverly’s parents waited for their daughter, unaware of the danger she was in. Hayes told them that Beverly was going to be just fine, and they believed him. 15 minutes later, Beverly was dead.

The facility was riddled with malpractice, negligence and abuse. Even after killing 15-year-old Beverly, it was allowed to stay open. For years afterwards there were dozens of health and safety violations recorded. Here are some of the violations:

•Wrist, knee or foot controls not provided on lavatories used by physicians and nurses (3-8-79)

•No system for referring patients to (actual) health care providers (3-8-79)

•No emergency transfer arrangements (3-8-79)

•Lack of written job descriptions (3-8-79, 10-10-89)

•Lack of documentation of staff qualifications (10-10-89)

•Inoperable emergency lighting (3-8-79, 3-12-87, 3-17-87, 4-5-93)

•Re-use of disposable curettes (3-12-87)

•Medications out-of-date (5-22-85, 3-12-87, 3-17-87, 10-10-89, 4-6-92)

•Outdated IV solution (10-10-89)

•Medications improperly stored (3-8-79, 3-12-87, 3-17-87, 6-18-87)

•Unwrapped speculums stored in examining table drawer (6-18-87)

•Used disposable curettes stored on shelf with clean supplies (6-18-87)

•Blood on procedure table (10-10-89)

•Dirty floor/equipment in lab (10-10-89)

•out of date sterile instruments in autoclave area (6-18-87)

•"Sterile instruments in treatment room observed to have stains" (4-6-92)

•Patient records lacking documentation of required testing for sexually transmitted diseases (10-10-89).

And in 1992 a client sued the facility for the negligent and dehumanizing treatment she had endured while undergoing an 8-week abortion. She tried to use a fake name to protect her privacy, but the facility successfully moved that she had to use her real name in public if she wanted to sue them.

This was ironic and hypocritical considering that during her abortion appointment, the facility had refused to use her name and told her to answer only to “Lime 5”. Her pre-abortion "counseling" took place in a room with 20 other clients instead of in a 1-on-1 session and staff were not available to answer her questions. She was not given copies of any of the papers she was made to sign. When she was on the operating table, the abortionist came in with his shirt unbuttoned. He used repeated profanity, appeared to be fondling the nurse, and told the patient that “Nothing is better in life than sex and money” before injuring her.

This unsanitary, unprofessional and abusive facility should have been shut down long before the 1992 court case. Had they been closed down after killing Beverly, so many people would have been spared from the horrific treatment of the “Lime 5” facility.

Navigating the Labyrinthine World of Pharmaceutical Project Management

You’re a passionate scientist, nose deep in a research paper, chasing the cure for a life-threatening disease. The molecule you’ve dreamt of holds the key, but between you and a lifesaving drug lies a perilous journey through the labyrinthine world of pharmaceutical development. Deadlines loom like gargoyles, regulatory hurdles sprout like weeds, and budgets tighten like a miser’s fist. Enter the CDMO project manager, your alchemist’s apprentice in this high-stakes quest.

Forget the sterile brochures and buzzwords; real CDMO project management isn’t about pushing papers and ticking boxes. It’s about navigating chaos with the cunning of a seasoned adventurer, wielding data like a sorcerer’s staff, and forging trust like an unbreakable oath. It’s about understanding the human equation: the anxieties of scientists, the pressures of investors, and the weight of hope resting on every vial and capsule.

So, let’s crack open the grimoire of CDMO project management and reveal the secrets most websites keep under lock and key:

Advertisement

1. The Art of Foresight: Predicting the Unpredictable:

In the pharmaceutical world, delays can cost lives and fortunes. Yet, most websites touting ‘on-time delivery’ only tell half the story. The true magic lies in proactive risk mitigation. Think of it as peering into the future, not with a crystal ball, but with a data-driven telescope.

A skilled CDMO project manager analyzes historical data, industry trends, and real-time production metrics to identify potential roadblocks before they morph into monstrous delays. They anticipate supply chain disruptions, navigate regulatory intricacies, and build in buffers for the unexpected. It’s not just about planning for the present; it’s about outsmarting the unforeseeable.

A study by McKinsey & Company found that companies with strong risk management practices achieve 20% faster project completion times and 10% lower costs. That’s the power of foresight, folks, the difference between a frantic scramble and a calm, confident stride towards the finish line.

2. The Symphony of Collaboration: Harmony Beyond Hierarchies:

Forget the image of a lone scientist toiling away in a lab. Pharmaceutical development is a team sport, a complex orchestra where every note – from chemist to clinician to regulatory expert – needs to be perfectly in tune. This is where CDMO project management becomes the conductor, harmonizing voices and ensuring each instrument plays its part flawlessly.

Effective communication is the bedrock. No more siloed emails and cryptic spreadsheets. CDMO project managers create transparent platforms where everyone has access to real-time updates, progress reports, and critical decision-making tools. Imagine a virtual laboratory where scientists across continents can collaborate in real-time, share data seamlessly, and troubleshoot problems together.

A study by PMI found that projects with high levels of collaboration are 66% more likely to succeed. That’s the power of a unified team, a symphony of expertise playing in perfect harmony, guided by the maestro of CDMO project management.

3. The Alchemy of Data: Transforming Numbers into Gold:

Data, in the wrong hands, is just a pile of cold stones. But in the hands of a skilled CDMO project manager, it becomes the philosopher’s stone, transmuting into valuable insights that guide every decision. They sift through mountains of production metrics, clinical trial data, and regulatory reports, extracting actionable intelligence that optimizes processes, identifies inefficiencies, and predicts potential problems.

Imagine a dashboard that not only tells you how much API you’ve produced but also predicts potential quality issues based on real-time temperature fluctuations. Or a platform that analyzes clinical trial data in real-time, flagging potential safety concerns before they escalate. This is the magic of data-driven CDMO project management, turning numbers into gold, and steering your project towards a successful outcome.

A study by Accenture found that companies that leverage data effectively achieve 23% higher profitability and 30% faster growth. That’s the power of the alchemist’s touch, transforming raw data into valuable insights that propel your project to pharmaceutical gold.

In conclusion, CDMO project management isn’t a technical checkbox on your to-do list. It’s the human magic that transforms the chaos of pharmaceutical development into a streamlined, collaborative journey towards life-saving solutions. It’s about foresight, collaboration, and the alchemy of data – the true secrets of navigating the labyrinth and emerging with a cure, not just a product. So, if you’re a pharmaceutical alchemist on a quest to change the world, choose your CDMO project manager wisely. Choose the one who sees the magic in your science, the one who wields data with the wisdom of a sage, and the one who, hand in hand.

An Insight into 8 Leading AOAC Methods Testing Labs

It's difficult to figure out how to build and test medical devices, especially when it comes to knowing how important biocompatibility tests are for medical devices. How a medical gadget works with the body is the most important thing for its success and the safety of patients.

So, biocompatibility testing is an important part of the whole process of testing medical products. It ensures that these life-changing tools don't hurt the body when put there.

The Solution Analytics is here to help you understand important things about biocompatibility testing. We are the link between you and the world of testing labs.

This piece briefly overviews the five key points of the biocompatibility test for medical device. It covers the importance of the test and offers guidance on navigating the complex testing process.

1. Understanding Biocompatibility Testing

A medical gadget is checked to see how it works with the human body during biocompatibility testing. The goal is to find out if a gadget has any bad effects. Some of these responses are inflammation, infection, or damage to the tissue. With these tests, medical gadgets are made sure to be safe. They also make sure the gadgets are ready for people to use.

USFDA-approved testing labs use established procedures. These procedures are used to carry out tests. The purpose of these tests is to ensure the safety of medical devices.

2. Role of Regulatory Standards

Regulatory standards play a crucial role in biocompatibility testing. Organizations such as the ISO and the USFDA provide guidelines for such tests. NABL-approved testing labs follow these international standards to ensure that medical devices are safe for patient use.

3. The Testing Process

Biocompatibility tests for medical devices usually have multiple stages. These stages include chemical characterization, animal testing, and clinical evaluations. Pharmaceutical products testing labs and medicine testing laboratories use various testing equipment. They use this testing equipment for electrical devices, cytotoxicity tests, and irritation tests. The purpose is to assess biocompatibility.

4. The Importance of Testing Materials

Every material used in a medical device, including coatings, must undergo biocompatibility testing. The testing also includes packaging testing, as packaging materials can interact with the device and affect its biocompatibility.

5. Continuous Evaluation

It's important to keep evaluating the product after it comes out. If the way products are made changes, manufacturers should check the biocompatibility again. They should also do this when they find out new information about important risks. This might mean more tests in labs. Pharmaceutical goods can also be tested to see if they are sterile. To make sure safety stays high, it can also involve more.
