Battleworn Insomniac, also known as Oriental Insomniac (1-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. The Night Shift version is Super Battleworn Insomniac.

Battleworn Insomniac is the first boss level in the game. It introduces the Insomniac with his Insomniac Beats and Connectifia Abortus.

Synopsis

In a cutscene after Intimate, Paige and Ian explain the Rhythm Doctor Program to the player, but are first interrupted by a cocksure Dr Edega, and then by an emergency patient: the Insomniac. The player treats the Insomniac despite glitches and disruptions caused by the Connectifia Abortus virus. After a successful treatment, the player moves on to the next ward.

Transcript

PaigeSpriteS.png So. We haven't explained the whole "musical doctoring" process yet.
PaigeSpriteS.png We kinda pulled you straight into the deep end. Sorry about that.
PaigeSpriteS.png Thankfully, you’re a quick learner.
PaigeSpriteS.png Ian, do you think you could explain the program? It's more...your thing.
IanSpriteS.png R-right! The Rhythm Doctor program is a new, experimental healthcare initiative.
IanSpriteS.png It's a music-based cardiological treatment.
IanSpriteS.png By listening to the patient's heartbeat and synchronising with it, we can calm the irregularities.
IanSpriteS.png It's quick, and can save a lot of lives.
IanSpriteS.png Plus: interns can perform the treatment remotely, there's shorter waiting times, and less work piled on the staff.
IanSpriteS.png It's a win-win situation.
PaigeSpriteS.png That's the idea, at least. As long as all goes well, we can-

Edega ...
Edega Ian, did you finish setting up that remote connection?
IanSpriteS.png Y-yes, sir, as you can see, our new intern is here and-
Edega Very good.
Edega But let's not be overconfident. There's still a lot that both of you should be getting to.
Edega The shift has only just started. Ensure that every patient is personally seen to.
Edega I imagine I'm not interrupting some sort of "break."
PaigeSpriteS.png Not at all, we were just-
Edega Submit a report about the program by the end of the day.
PaigeSpriteS.png ...
PaigeSpriteS.png Don't mind him, that’s our...well, don't worry about it.
PaigeSpriteS.png We should show you around so you can meet the rest of the patients.
IanSpriteS.png You should be able to shift your video display around the hospital, to...
IanSpriteS.png H-hold on. Something's happening.
PaigeSpriteS.png One of our patients needs help, immediately. That can't be good.

PaigeSpriteS.png You're up, intern.
PaigeSpriteS.png Remember, just stay calm and keep counting to seven.
IanSpriteS.png No matter what happens!
[Interlude 1]
IanSpriteS.png It looks like something's messing with your connection.
IanSpriteS.png Could it be...
IanSpriteS.png ...

[Interlude 2]

IanSpriteS.png Yup. It was the infection.
IanSpriteS.png Classic case of the wifi-signal-jamming virus.
IanSpriteS.png Connectifia abortus.
IanSpriteS.png It's about to come back now, and stronger.

PaigeSpriteS.png Phew. Great work!
PaigeSpriteS.png His heartbeat got really erratic, but it looks like you had it under control.
PaigeSpriteS.png Ian, what was all that? Is that supposed to happen?
IanSpriteS.png N-no. That strange virus was disrupting the intern's signal.
IanSpriteS.png I-it was even messing with the cardiogram. It should be fixed now, but I'll look into it.
IanSpriteS.png Just a s-small hiccup in the process. Hopefully it doesn't persist.
IanSpriteS.png Let's move on, for now.
PaigeSpriteS.png Got it.
PaigeSpriteS.png Looks like we're done with this set of patients!
PaigeSpriteS.png Let's move on to the next ward.
JanitorSmol.png Either I'm going crazy, or there are TWO sword-swinging dudes walking around.
JanitorSmol.png I don't get paid enough for this...

History

Trivia

  • If the low health beeps are activated before the first intermission with Ian, morse code will play during said intermission. The morse code spells out "MELON."
  • If the virus health bar is not depleted before the song ends, it will loop for a few more bars, fading into static, and a short segment from Samurai Techno can be heard as well.
