Archmagos Wakes's Scrap Code Degredation and Death

(The following statements document the progress of deterioration observed in Archmagos Sojourner Wakes leading up to his death:) 

   

 - Archmagos Wakes's behavior has become strange since VIIR's infected of his systems with defensive scrap code. The deterioration is advancing more rapidly. 

 - Cassius has heard that he may have dispatched members of his retinue to sabotage Machine Spirits on Port Lysander 

 -Important shipments have gone missing; some of these shipments have since found their way into my possession, specifically the Praetor Light Armor; it would appear that I can impose a degree of suggestion upon the shipments, having procured a defunct skitari for research. 

 -He has become vulnerable to fits of violence, having recently destroyed a Magos that gave an unfavorable report. 

 -His devices are falling into malfunction and disrepair, including the doors to his study; his cogitators are no longer attached to his body; his skitarii are showing a complete lack of logical awareness and behavior, with some actively falling into seizure. 

 -He has acquired some odd items, including a (running without subject) brain scan device, and a towering collection of useless baubles, blinky hats, and skirtarii left pauldrons. 

 -His speech has become halting and strange. 

 -It seems that the Archmagos is not entirely without mental faculties, especially with regard to focus on the Asterii . I intend to gain Techsorcist knowledge to repair his mind as soon as possible. 

 -I have requested that the Lord Captain pass a message to the Gilded Comet's Mechanicus contingent, in hopes of locating the techsorcist already familiar with the scrap code, such that I may learn the method of containment. 

   

 -Though we were able to locate a Techsorcist ( Magos Voss ) possibly capable of restoring some functionality and sanity to the Archmagos, we were unable to both produce a method of removing the scrap code infection and a means of administering it before Wakes deteriorated to the point of no return; his attack on Fort Orpheon was apparently predicated on the erroneous belief that his rival, Anvephone Traquiel , was alive and had surpassed him in knowledge about the Asterii. 

 -His attack involved multiple skitarii experiencing similar glitches in functionality, as well as a servitorized Asterii guardian, its remains apparently recovered from the Cinqufoil Reliquary . 

 -In his final moments, the Archmagos spoke to his "Master" saying that she (Anvephone) had beaten him. I assured him that Anvephone was dead, and that the Wakes legacy and work would be continued by me. He seemed reassured that the "crusade" would go on.
