Another spate of transformations. How strange is it that such things have become mundane.

No matter. Those who have found themselves changed, report to me for study. I wish to isolate on a molecular level how these changes are possible. For that purpose I will be using the laboratory. Alert me as to when you are able to meet there. If you are unable to for any reason, I will come to you; however I do not accept embarassment or things akin to it as legitimate reasons.

[That tone of voice, the testing, the everything...Congratulations, you remind him of a person. A person he did not like at all and caused the end of the world to happen and killed his teacher and...]

To face resistance for seeking answers...such is a symptom of a doomed society.

more like ppl like you doom society bc they think it's not worth saving!1!

[Hello I am going to assume things out of you because you're reminding me of someone woops.]

[of course you are closer than you think but still it's the principle of the thing]

Quite the contrary. I work for the salvation of all things.

[Triggered word is salvation. Also wow you guys are way too alike it's kinda uncanny. So when are you going to sacrifice an entire hospital of people to cause Armageddon?]

If you try anything I will kill you.

[...well okay then.]

Hey! Who do you think is going to willingly offer themselves to be studied?! Nobody I know would want to do that!

Those who wish to understand what has happened, and foster prevention against it happening again.

You don't have to study us like we're test subjects to figure that out! Asking questions is all you'd need; you don't need to invite us to a lab to ask questions! We're not science experiments!

Re: [video]

[will_be_god]

Simple words are fruitless in this regard. As I said, I will be studying you on the molecular level. That must be done to search for a cure or further preventive measures.

...you believe this entails far more than it does.

[Gordon isn't unused to the idea of, er... questionable ethics and less than perfect respect for another creature in the laboratory. But he knows this area, and he knows the general disposition of the people IN the area, and well:]

I don't think you're going to get many volunteers that way, Cyrus.

Re: [Text]

[will_be_god]

I ask simply for what is necessary to understand these transformations.

[trustycrowbar]

I understand that, but telling them to quickly line up against the wall for processing strips them of their humanity--or, you know, equivalent. Seeing as they've just had it LITERALLY stripped from them, they're not going to comply to a demand like that. They're just not.

Give them the option to decline, keep open clinic hours, but don't mandate it. Trust me, you'll get more data with less work that way.

[will_be_god]

I have made no such mandate. I have extended an invitation, nothing more. Your assumptions are baseless, and I invite you to re-read what I have written.

[Uh, how about NO? Is NO okay with you? She'd rather live out the rest of her life in the stupid lake on campus...]

Mister Cyrus? What happens if we they refuse?

Re: [Text]

[will_be_god]

Nothing. That is the issue. Nothing will be resolved, nothing will be answered, and we continue in ignorance.

[tempus_fixit]

Maybe you should given them some time to come to terms with it first? Maybe?

[will_be_god]

Such changes are unwelcome, yes?

[reservedempath]

I'm not sure there's often a rhyme or reason for things like this to happen, Cyrus. What makes you so interested in the science of it all?

video

[will_be_god]

It is not what catches my interest but why it fails to do so for others. There is a great lack of curiosity, of dedication to research, in this place. Though I knew that, I had not anticipated this level of resistance.

...It is odd. They wail and moan, and yet wish to do nothing to resolve the issue.

video

[reservedempath]

Just because you're not seeing it doesn't mean something's not being done. It's very unrealistic for you to assume people are just going to be 'open' about it, especially considering the present manner of things.

Re: video

[will_be_god]

They speak openly of it, airing their complaints publically. Clearly openness is not the issue.

[forgetbeam]

I volunteer!

[Oh............

Look, being tested on sounds skeevy, but he's gotta set an example and actively take steps toward finding a cure since nobody else will. For his brother's sake and everyone else.]

[will_be_god]

Very well. When do I expect you? Please list any special equipment I may require to adapt to your alteration.

[forgetbeam]

If you are available immediately, I will be there in ten minutes! My condition is not as severe as some of the others I have seen, so I should be fine without any special accommodations.

[will_be_god]

I am. We will discuss further there.
