Peter Raleigh

Doctor Peter N. Raleigh is a background character in Doom 3. He was the medical supervisor assigned to Delta Labs Level 2 and was responsible for examining the volunteers who returned from the Portal. When many of the volunteers began experiencing sudden and severe psychological breakdowns, Raleigh attempted to find a cure, but had no success. He was unable to even determine the exact cause of these cases of psychosis, and was forced to isolate his patients. After one of his patients, Private Steve Jensen, committed suicide, Raleigh decided to stash some weapons in his office for his own protection.

Raleigh is never met in the game. He was most likely killed during the demonic invasion. His PDA can be found on a desk in Delta Labs Level 2A.

Observation of Science Personnel
''This is the audio log of medical supervisor Peter Raleigh, dated October 29th, 2145. We have exhausted all known forms of drug treatment in hopes of finding a way to abate this strange outbreak of dementia and I have yet to receive any additional data from the psychiatrists back on Earth. Options are quickly dwindling.''

''Approximately 80% of all extra planar participants exhibit signs of mild neurosis within the first 48 hours after returning from their expeditions. Within 72 hours, 75% of patients exhibit extreme signs of paranoid delusion and violence.''

''We have isolated these cases in hopes of finding the pathogen. As yet we can find no biological contaminants that would lead to such drastic changes in cognitive processing. It seems that whatever this pathogen is, it attacks higher brain functions and only leaves more basal functions in the lower brain stem.''

''We've witnessed a high percentage of subjects lose ability for rational thought and communication skills and then the physical changes become evident. Subjects in this group appear to atrophy - skin pales; muscles become slack; bone, teeth and fingernails become almost translucent, veiny sinews of their former selves. I have never seen anything like this in my career. Our observations to continue.''

Death of Steve Jensen
''This is the audio log of medical supervisor Peter Raleigh, dated November 1st, 2145. Patient 0432, a Private Steve Jensen of the UAC Darklight Armored Corp Division expired today at 15:43 of a self inflicted gunshot wound. This is approximately 110 hours after his return from expeditionary missions.''

''Private Jenson was suffering from paranoid delusions and full blown dementia. Treatment was unsuccessful. He was the last surviving member of his outfit, four other squad mates who also came back with Private Jensen expired from injuries suffered on that last mission shortly after their return.''

''Before his death Private Jensen was heard screaming in both English and other languages, something about demon hordes feasting on our souls. The other language was later discovered to be Aramaic. Due to security concerns in the area I have secured some armaments within my office.''

NOTE: The statement that Jensen's death occurred 110 hours (approximately 4.5 Earth days) after returning from his last expedition may be an error, as videos in the medical bay show that Jensen's dementia went as far back as 10/18/2145.

Anti psychotics shipment in today (11-09-2145)
Dr Raleigh,

''Just a reminder to let you know your order of anti psychotics have arrived from pharmaceuticals. There are quite a few large boxes here, and we are a bit short-handed at the moment. If you could have someone from your department come and retrieve these packages it would be much appreciated.''

Overburdened (11-12-2145)
Dr Raleigh,

''We are filling up the available infirmary beds faster then we can get patients released. I don't see myself releasing any at all actually. I am gravely concerned about where we expect to put more men if the current trend in testing isn't relaxed before we can determine the cause of this psychosis.''

Sincerely, Medical Technician Phil Wilson
