((We'll timeskip a few days so that Damien can wake up and then they can ask him about helping Jian.))
After a few days, the drugs finally wore off and Damien was in full consciousness. He had been awake for a number of minutes, but wasn't informed of Jian's condition because the doctor's were afraid that Damien would become unstable.

"Good morning, Absolute Leader." One of the doctors said. "How do you feel. Is there any pain? Light-headedness? Dizziness? " He asked, starting to go through his checklist.

Damien cleared his throat and finally sat up. "No, that all seems to have cleared up" Damien said, "I'm just stiff".

"I see..." The doctor replied, writing that down. "Well in that case, you'll be free to walk around, though we may have to put you through therapy and make sure there's nothing we missed. Today is *insert date*, just a few days after the accident. Don't worry, the war is over. We won, but we haven't been able to actually sign any treaties or settle anything you recovered. You advisers wanted me to inform you that..." he started, flipping up the page and looking at a list. "Lets see... The King of Helmshire is in custody. They're relocating supplies from Helmshire to Diethelm, the majority of the troops are still in Helmshire settling down the masses and also enforce Diethelm laws, the machine production has been minimized in order to pay for mine repairs, factory upgrades, and labor costs to insure quicker production in the future, and your engineers are already working on rebuilding the base."

"Oh, that's wonderful. It's too bad I was unconscious for the victory. I really wanted to see that. Damn rebels" Damien cursed.

"The generals figured you might. They recorded it for you to watch later." The doctor replied. "Do you have any questions?"

Damien stretched his arms and felt them crack. His whole body needed to move. "Yes, what happened to the Chief General? Where is he? Is he awake yet?" the Absolute Leader asked.

At the question, the doctor dropped his pen and turned pale. "He... he's alive... he's um... still sleeping." He replied, not wanting to be the one to tell Damien what happened. "And... he... he... he can't wake up." He said, bracing himself for the storm.

Damien turned his head quickly at the doctor and his neck snapped. "Ow. ********!" Damien cursed and grabbed his neck. He looked at the doctor again. "What do you mean he can't wake up? What have you guys been doing?!" he demanded.

Monica was leaning on the framework of the door when Damien said that. "I think it would be better if you found out for yourself", she said, putting Jian's folder on his bed.

"Please sir, try to calm yourself." The doctor said as Monica entered the room. "By the way, Miss Ravenstone, I have the research you asked for." He said, handing a piece of paper to Monica. "These are all the doctors who have had recorded successes with patients like... the Head General. Unfortunately, they all have two things in common." He said, pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to Monica. They were all doctors who studied at Mt. Angelo, and they were all either dead or missing due to the religious ban.

Damien took the files and began reading them. "What?!!" he exclaimed, then jumped off the bed. His knees buckled under him from not being used for a few days. "Dammit!" Damien cursed as he knelt on the floor.

"Sir!" The doctor said, immediately going to his side and helping him up. "L-let me explain in clearer words." He said, helping him back onto the bed. "The Head General's condition is extremely well despite the circumstances he's been through, but he received damage to a certain part of the brain. Because of it, he won't be able to wake up until he's either cured or if his brain heals itself, even if everything else is completely fine and functioning. We have already made it so his body receives proper nutrients and oxygen, but we don't... know how to save him. There is very little research on this subject, and most result in extreme brain damage. We wouldn't dare do something like that, but there are only... three other options..." The doctor trailed off.

"And what are these...three options, might I ask?" Damien stated, not impressed at all.

Monica read through the paper and said in a grim tone, "I remember these 'doctors' because my secret police were the ones who 'took care of them'. Some of these were known to be spreading the lies of their faith to gullible civilians and frankly, they had successes but some of their patients didn't live to tell the tale, is that not right?" She looked at the doctor and said, "So you're telling us that the finest doctors in Diethelm and even the major technological breakthroughs in the field of science can't solve a simple problem as a comatose?" She knew well that Jian could wake up after an indefinite amount of time if left alone but also knew that he could possibly die from an operation gone wrong.
