So he's dead.

[A long, long silence. It's audio, so one might have thought the feed had been cut if not for the constant little PLAYING... in the corner.

Finally, Riku speaks again, and his voice is heavy with resolve.]Put me in his place, Ingram. If the trial offered right now is more or less stable, use it on the people who need it more. Test

In his place? What, you want to be head of medical science now? Since when were you remotely qualified for that?

Not at all.

His place as in lab rat. I don't know anything about medical science.

Oh, please. The trial was meant to be open to everyone anyway, there's no need to be so dramatic. The difference was, Gabriel --

[ ... Hesitation. Surely Rodney is not feeling bad about something? ]

The difference is, Bachman liked to test things on himself first even if he wasn't sure they were safe. Some kind of martyr complex.

[ Huffs. ]

I'm assuming that's more along the lines of what you were so cheerfully volunteering for.

[the_daybreak]

Right. So you'll need someone to do that. Make it me.

Seriously? If you want to do this, that's your own problem. I'm not going to stop you. But what you aren't taking into account is without a lead scientist, we can't even be sure we'll have things to test!

[the_daybreak]

Why not? There must be more than one good medical scientist. If not, why are we even bothering?

[ Snaps: ]

I didn't say we wouldn't, I said we can't be sure! It wasn't sure to begin with, but he was the one with the most experience so I think it's relatively fair to say that we're probably less sure without him!

[the_daybreak]

Okay.

[Usually an outburst like this wouldn't defeat him, but it does. He sighs.] Let me know, would you?
