Does anyone know if the fast child-sized squirrels are dewormed? Do we need rabies vaccines? Are there any vets in town?

For those who don't know me, I'm Dr. Robert Romano. As of a few days ago I was the only non-magical medical doctor in Etraya. If that's changed please talk to me, I'm so lonely.

And I'm serious about the fast squirrels, I also got anti-flea treatments for anyone covered in fur.

Do you believe me fragile?

If this proceeds not as I believe it should, I am prepared for that possibility. There is no identity crisis to be had, it would simply be an abduction at that point. Which it already is, technically speaking. Yet I would rather approach this with rationality and peace, than with impetuousness and hostility.

I am a man, not some undomesticated, flailing beast.

It is less than ideal, but given that I was plucked from a similar testing facility for creations, though with far less of them designed with sapience in mind than what is here. Which makes this not as jarring as it could be, even if strange all the while.

[The most jarring part was what was happening when he was snatched, and how much the proclaimed reason they are here aligns with it. Eerie, really.]

Though it is odd that Aurora is the one positioned as Overseer. Quite concerning, if I'm to be honest.

Did I say otherwise? It has nothing to do with her manner, and more to do with the fact you do not leave a Pegasos to watch the Lykopersikon. It is utterly irresponsible.

The point is that they are both equally creations, both equally capable of damaging the other, while neither intrinsically holding true authority of any meaningful measure over each other. You said yourself that the AI of your original facility had been overtaken by its charges, yes? Proof enough of my point.

That is something that could not happen if a proper Overseer were here. That there are none at all is worrying, that we only know of Echo and none others is doubly so.

I was implying neither.

Rather, I have the clarity of mind to avoid such barbarism, as well as prevent it from happening or spreading needlessly. It is not a question whether or not I can harm much of anything. Whether anything can harm me is the one you should be asking.

Because of its relevance to the topic at hand. Do keep up, won't you? The point is thus: it is irresponsible to have creations watching over each other without an actual Overseer here. It is neglectful incompetence at best.

As I said, I am well aware of the use of limiters, I have experienced them myself, and so I know what it is like to have my abilities and constitution weakened. What I spoke of was of the inhabitants in here, not of the missions.

Do you think me a fool? Do you believe me incapable of adapting to the unexpected? I assure you I am terribly accustom to the chaotic, whether I like it or not. I simply would rather not, if I have my say in it is all.

How very thoughtful of you. Do you wish for a reward? Perhaps some little treat for your helpful behavior?

Though, you seem disappointed that I am not so easily perturbed.

I can do little more than condescend given the gulf betwixt us, but that is besides the point, I suppose.

Regardless, your efforts to inform are appreciated, though I assure you much I have seen here is not far removed from that which I am familiar already. The main oddity is being brought to this far-flung facility, and the lack of proper personnel attending it. The testing of concepts for their measure and worth to exist is all rather ordinary procedure.

A zoo? Do you believe yourself worth gawking at?

What a glowing review. I suppose it is a fair estimate, though a bit on the generous side.
