A single sheet of paper is found tacked to the Lieutenant's door.
Lieutenant Mirabelle Bonnet,
My name is Alain Merrick and I am a physician in the medical department of Third Division. For the past five years, I have toiled away in relative obscurity. In fact, it would not surprise me if you were unable to place a face to the name. You see, it has always been my preference to distance myself from the everyday minutiae which has a way of eroding efficiency and common sense. Regrettably however, the Seireitei Plague has seen fit to give me a more public face. While this unwelcome change would not normally be a problem, the current state of affairs has led to negative scrutiny of my brethren and I which we find undeserved and unacceptable.
When the plague began, who did our people turn to? Us, the medical staff. When a cure was not forthcoming, who did they blame? Us, the medical staff. Now, as our dead mount and tensions are at their peak, who looks out for Us? No one. We are members of a Captain-less division, rudderless, on a sinking ship. Ill-equipped to deal with the situation in which we find ourselves, we must ask how it happened. Was it a lack of strength? A lack of vision? Perhaps an issue of mindset? I say all three. Fortunately, we need not be restrained by these failings any longer. I will place us on the proper path. I have the strength to protect us as well as the intelligence and wisdom to prevent future tragedies. Most importantly, I am rooted in the medical arts. At a time when we suffer from the enemy called disease, who would be better to lead us. Thus, I ask you to stand aside. Otherwise, while distasteful, I shall take the position.
