<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

My prodding is uncomfortable, but far from invasive. I try to avoid chopping people up when it becomes counterproductive to making them well.

<Snipped quote by Session>

We kind of have to put all our faith in you, so I volunteer as the healthy candidate.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Are you native to this planet? I'd also like to cross reference natives and non-natives.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Er… You won’t really find “non-natives” here. At least, not besides the other folks from the IA that came before you.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Those are exactly who I'm looking to check, actually. But—
*Punches one fist into the palm of the other*
Like they say, one step at a time! Ready to go now?

<Snipped quote by Session>

I’m ready, sure.
*Puts my hand on my chin*
But I have to think about who among our sick would be lucid and kind enough both, to volunteer.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

How about we head to a vacant operating room and you can decide once you've seen the process for yourself?

<Snipped quote by Session>

That sounds reasonable enough.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Flashes two thumbs up*
Radical!
*Starts out of the cafeteria and follows the signs toward the operating wing*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Raises an eyebrow, the. Turns to the other workers to make sure they know what they’re doing before I jog off after you, slowing back down when I’ve caught up and slightly passed you to lead the way*
So I have to ask why.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Spares just a glance over my shoulder*
Why what?

<Snipped quote by Session>

You know what I mean. Why are you helping us? It’s practically a death wish- they wouldn’t send anyone down until you, after the first wave, so clearly they’re apprehensive. So you’re clearly special, or at least they’re hoping you are. What do you get out of it? If you solve the case and do get to walk out alive, what does that do for you?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Don't most doctors have some sort of oath or creed about helping people*
*Pulls up a latex glove onto my hand with my teeth before swapping to the other, not slowing down*
You don't have any allergies, do you?

<Snipped quote by Session>

I don’t.
*Stops in front of one of the doors in the wing we’re in*
But if you’re going to be some savior for us, I want to believe in something about you. You’re very eager to get right to work but all I know about you is your name.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Listen close.
*Stops once I notice you have and leans in, speaking barely above a hushed whisper*
They busted me out of my cell for this gig and offered me three months of protection detail. Three months. There's not a chance in any world I'm going to let that offer slip through my fingers, so I'm going to save this planet whether anyone here likes it or not.

<Snipped quote by Session>

*My jaw drops slightly and I blink twice, staggered by a few moments*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Alright!
*Clears my throat and stretches*
Upward and onward!

<Snipped quote by Session>

… Is it too late to change my mind?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Sure is!
*Swings the doors open and flips on the lights*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Sighs*
So help me, if any of this turns out unprofessional, I’m making the general find us a new savior.
*Steps in behind you after a deep breath*
