Attention Fellow People of Etraya,

I am Doctor Daniil Dankovsky, Bachelor of Medicine. As I understand it, few of you have seen a doctor lately. That simply won’t do! Please, don’t wait to get sick to establish care. I am situated in the hospital, ready to take consent forms and make updated medical histories. At least a few of you have unaddressed concerns, I just know it. The average person comes to see the doctor when it’s too late! Though we cannot die here, there is no reason to suffer unduly.

And if you are otherwise healthy, perhaps think of it as helping me out. In the event of an outbreak, it is far more helpful to have complete clinical pictures of the inhabitants. Especially, as I understand it, there are many biological differences in this population.

Please come visit me during my clinic hours, every day from 10am to 6pm.


[What Daniil really wants is to meet more of the unusual inhabitants of Etraya more quickly as well as conduct casual interviews of the sort of people who are slated to save the universe. But he can’t just say that completely outright.]

Oh- [As his picture of this situation shifts.]

[Just a security guard. What was he doing in the lab?]

So, you were poking around a lab under some held suspicions? Did you find some damning evidence? [Daniil raises a brow.]

…I presume the other subjects weren’t also body guards?

Forgive me, I’m trying to understand. Clearly some wrong was committed by this Hojo. Do you know where the other subjects came from? Was he just trying to make monsters? “Push human limits” is rather vague. What was the purpose?

[He looks between them. The purpose here was very important!] I want to make sure I’m not overlooking something crucial as I form this medical history. Please think, it could really help you.

[Aerith wears... a subdued frown. She doesn't like this line of inquiry, but she also tends to avoid discussing Shinra, even with Rufus. It feels like this subject she tiptoes around. On the other hand, she does that with a lot of subjects.]

I think he was... probably obsessed with what he felt were advancements in empowered individuals. He was experimenting with the idea of cross-breeding people with monsters.

[She eyes Vincent sympathetically. He isn't a monster and she doesn't mean it like that when she says it.]

So a scientist who never felt like he had it good enough. he must've had good funding from Shinra to continue doing it.

[ The line of questioning gets a narrow look from Vincent. ]

Is the reason for my objection to the experiments a problem, doctor?

[ Vincent sees no need to inform Daniil of who the others were. He's not going to speak of the one who finally prompted him to confront Hojo, either.

Aerith answers better than Vincent might in his current state, which is a bit prickly now. Although his cape hides it well, he's become tense at this line of questioning. ]

Shinra will always invest in its military might. Creating stronger soldiers that obey them is reason enough. As for Hojo, he took a perverse delight in using people to advance his knowledge.

[thantagonist]

[The mention of a military turns his expression to disgust.]

No, no. These experiments sound disgusting. Avoiding harm and obtaining consent are paramount to any scientific rigors. …I just. [If there are two things I hate, it’s whistleblowers and- ] Creating stronger soldiers? Is that what this is about?

[Now Danill looks truly scandalized!]
