006. Let's jump upon the sharp swords

[manufactured]

[From Alpha#05010662:]

It seems that some of us are beginning to notice some particularly odd signs as of late. I'm certain I'm not alone in finding such things concerning, especially when the scarce information we were given this month referenced an infectant of some sort.

While I'm not a medical doctor of the sort you'd normally see at a clinic or a hospital, I do have my doctorate in virology and have made such things my life's work. I also have extensive experience regarding biological contaminants in my past life to draw on, as well as access to extensive databases of said contaminants. If you're noticing signs and symptoms that are striking you as abnormal and you're willing to assist me, I'm willing to do what I can to assist you. I can't guarantee an immediate cure, but I'm willing to do what I can to try to work towards one. I simply need someplace to start.

If there's concern about potentially infecting me in any way, I have reason to believe I'm immune to anything this might happen to be. Consider it one of my past life's many gifts. You're welcome to contact me privately regarding this, should you so choose.

Are you really sure 'neener neener you can't infect me' is a good idea?

[manufactured]

If that's what you got out of that, then I somewhat pity your reading comprehension.

[notyourutopian]

Well, I mean, I also got 'Hey look I'm special.'
And also 'report your friends and family if they're acting weird.'

[manufactured]

Then once again, I question your capacity to read.

[notyourutopian]

Yup, that must be it.
I just didn't understand.

So what, exactly, is so different from what you said and what I'm reading, hm?

[manufactured]

Evidently, given that I'm offering assistance to those who both need it and want it, seeing as I'm capable of providing it.

[notyourutopian]

So let's say some infected person comes to you for help.

What then?

[usurpers]

Why would we want a cure?

[manufactured]

I wouldn't be surprised if some do; I don't precisely fault those that don't, as I've known more than my share of those who wouldn't.

[usurpers]

Then you know it’s pointless to “help” anyone.

[thesettingsun]

Please help me before I actually kill someone.

[manufactured]

Of course. I may have to modify any attempts at working out what this is, given the entirety of the situation in your case, but I'm not unwilling to try it.

[thesettingsun]

Thank you.

When can I come over? Sooner is better.

[manufactured]

At your nearest convenience. I fully intend to make myself as available as possible.

[thesettingsun]

I can be there in 15.

[manufactured]

I'll be here.

to action

[thesettingsun]

[In about fifteen minutes, Shuji rings Wesker's doorbell!

He looks fine, except for the huge bat wings, large horns, sharp teeth... Actually, maybe he doesn't look fine. But no one is dying or being stabbed at this second, so it could be worse?]

[manufactured]

[Well, the door will open easily enough; thankfully Jaeger is out at the moment. Either way, Wesker is standing there, and he'll look this over for a moment before just...]

...I see.

[Thanks, Wesker.]

[thesettingsun]

I'm glad one of us does.

[Because he's incredibly lost and also afraid he's going to murder someone and not even care about it!]

Can I come in?

[manufactured]

[...Kind of his life for the past ten months, to be honest, he feels you.]

I have a full laboratory downstairs that we can use for this, assuming you don't mind accompanying me down there.

[thesettingsun]

I don't mind. Dissect me all you want.

[Dissection is probably not what's going to happen. Probably.]

[megatechbody]

I don't want a cure. Someone with my virus might.

[manufactured]

Understandably so on both counts. I'm disinterested in forcing a cure, should there be one, on anyone.

[megatechbody]

I would like to see you regardless. Going to an NPC doctor seems foolish and want to keep track of my new limitations.

[matchbreaker]

If anyone has doubts to the authenticity of this man they shouldn't. I realize you might not know him well but in terms of him being a medical professional his credentials are amazing.

Also hello, I hope you really are immune that would be one load off.

[oniipeach]

Chemistry undergraduate, not infected. If I can be of any help, I'll do it.

[yakan]

so are you an underground doctor??
