As the subject moved towards the bed, Emma visibly relaxed and stop rummaging through her bag. She noted his habits as he sat down, filing them away in the back of her mind to write down later. She had no worries about forgetting the details because she knew it'd be rather hard to forget such an intriguing encounter.
She could only blink back at him through the clear screen as he demanded her to take off her helmet. That would be way out of protocol, she thought, glancing up at the camera monitoring everything. Sure, he appeared to have calmed down now, but even if he didn't harm her, she was sure that her superiors wouldn't like it if she disobeyed the clear set of instructions she had been given prior to her investigation.
If I give in to his demands, I'll be seen as being weak and unfit for the job, Emma mused, observing the subject's movements. She had seen similar habits in addicts, going through withdrawal. But what had he been addicted to?
"I assure you, I am quite real," she said, moving slowly towards him. "My name is Dr. Emma Winters, and I promise I'll take off the helmet once I'm sure that you're doing alright."
Gingerly taking his arm, she started wrapping a bandage around his wound, trying to distract him with her words. "You were...sick...but you're better now," she said. "You're part of a special project, where you're important for research. You're contributing to a breakthrough in science," she rambled, looking down at him. "You're very special, Relin."
Clipboard in hand, Emma quickly went through the procedures required to go to her next subject: Experiment #222, Tam Caleb. She was a little late in getting to them, but it was better she was late than not appear at all. The facility was short on staff and needed anyone they could get.
Entering the brightly lit room, the red-head was relieved to find that this time the subject was lying in their cot, IV drip still attached to their arm. Clearing her throat, Emma pulled out the necessary apparatus required to perform tests on them. "Tam Caleb? My name is Dr. Emma Winters. How are you feeling?" she asked briskly.
