[Originium Arts Assimilation] ■■

The leader of Laios's party, with plenty of 'dungeoneering' experience (note: We also have no idea what this so-called 'dungeon' is). While his background is uncertain, his contributions are obvious, as he is always able to offer combat support during field operations.

Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there is no sign of infection. At this time, this operator is believed to be uninfected.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%

Laios shows no sign of Originium infection.

The Medical Department has decided not to disclose the relevant data.

Laios claims to hail from a place called the Northern Continent. His party members also reference places like Izganda and the Eastern Continent, none of which we recognize. Our records have come up empty, so all we can do is document these names for now. Perhaps they are an incredibly skilled theater troupe touring the land with elaborately designed backstories. Or maybe these places are extremely remote, and they have been drifting across Terra until they stumbled upon Rhodes Island. They lack much common knowledge about things everyone here is familiar with, such as Arts and nomadic cities. Their amazement at our cafeteria suggests life has been very harsh for them.

Perhaps this explains why they excel in fighting and survival in the wild, even in unfamiliar environments. They have a remarkable caster, surveyor, and logistics-slash-combat specialist in their squad. Laios, their leader, seems quite average by comparison, perhaps even a bit dim-witted. Yet, given how much his team trusts him, he might possess hidden talents of his own?

During his time aboard Rhodes Island, Laios has shown considerable ability during field missions. While his basic combat skills do not match our top operators, he can quickly identify the traits and weaknesses of any wildlife. He also possesses impressive courage, often taking the first step in encounters, and quick thinking when resolving crises.

According to operators who have gone on missions with him, Laios's keen ability to analyze wildlife stems from his boundless curiosity. He is constantly observing and learning about creatures, meticulously keeping notes. When facing an unfamiliar creature, he rapidly consults his internal catalog of similar animals to pinpoint their weak points. It seems that he was already a wildlife fanatic in his hometown, although they refer to creatures as 'monsters' for some reason.

However, numerous complaints have accompanied his performance records. Laios is often distracted by unfamiliar creatures during lulls in combat, requiring other operators to keep his strange behavior in check. Many crises he resolves are in fact caused by his own curiosity. Additionally, he frequently invites operators to join his observations and experiments, causing headaches for many team captains despite their urging him to stop. Laios has also shown a deep interest in our operators themselves while aboard the landship. His curiosity about their physical features has led to chaotic incidents. Though Marcille and others managed to tie him up and issue a formal apology, many operators remain traumatized and now require regular counseling sessions.

Even Mon3tr has not escaped his observations; his daring touch earned him a vicious beating. Remarkably, when carted into Medical afterwards, he still wore a satisfied smile.

In a sense, Laios may be the most dangerous person aboard Rhodes Island.

While Laios is clearly sharp and attentive when observing wildlife, his interpersonal skills can only be described as 'disastrous'. He is extremely poor at picking up on subtle social cues and body language, often imposing his own obsessions onto others while failing to notice their tactful rejections.

Countless incidents have occurred where operators tried to stop his 'creative ideas' involving wildlife, but all to no avail. They can only watch helplessly as he stomps into a huge nest of wild metal crabs or 'Pompeii's' lair.

Though he always seems rather regretful afterward, everyone knows it won't stop him the next time he gets a wild idea.

One memorable incident led to a unique friendship between an operator and Marcille after they gave Laios a joint dressing-down. That night, while writing up the mission report, the operator heard Marcille's perspective: though Laios isn't good with people, he is still a kind, upstanding young man who has never accepted injustice. When his sister was treated unfairly, he threw away his position as a lord's heir and left home. Out of a sense of responsibility, he has always supported his former party members financially while they were injured.

During his travels across Terra, Laios has encountered many people who survive by fair or foul means. When it comes to determining right from wrong, his heart may have long known the answer. After learning of Rhodes Island's mission and the challenges it faces, he quickly became fond of our organization and the operators striving to make our goals a reality, gladly counting himself as one of us.

Slowly, we begin to understand why Laios is the leader of his squad and why they trust him so much.

It's not due to any so-called wisdom or leadership (it would be more accurate to say he completely lacks those qualities) but rather because he always calmly considers their next moves and pulls his weight in doing his part. He understands how dangerous an unknown creature can be, so at critical moments, he remains the calmest of all.

Why have I written him such a favorable report? It seems that I, just like the rest of his party, have also seen the appeal of this 'leader' of theirs.

Addendum: Damn you, Laios! The fool noticed some rare variant of Originium slug on a mission and sneaked it into his rucksack. It managed to escape after his return to the landship, and now Logistics is in complete disarray. To whoever is reading this, know that just when you think Laios is a decent guy worth your trust, he'll do something unexpectedly maddening.
