I do not desire another warden. Do not send one to me, Admiral. I have no need for such a keeper. I wash my hands of this business. [Said with a great deal of conviction, like it's really going to happen ( Read more... )

What... are you looking to find out from them? [interest. it is here.]

failedcreator April 13 2011, 10:15:32 UTC

I wish to discover how it is that they work. How this electricity was harnessed.

needshumility April 13 2011, 13:11:41 UTC

Oh, well, that's a decent enough quest.

I've got some things which I'd like to figure out how they work, actually. But... you can't have them, sorry, I... I worked hard collecting these.

[pause]

Why are you giving up on some Useful Work? Do they overwork you, or treat you badly?

failedcreator April 13 2011, 13:40:33 UTC

My discoveries will also be useful. Merely in a way that is different to the work that I formerly did. Also, working in the infirmary was most pleasant. The staff who work their are kind, decent people.

needshumility April 13 2011, 13:42:13 UTC

Yes, but... only useful to a handful of people, instead of the general population?

[Private]

Really? So you didn't see anything... unusual?

failedcreator April 13 2011, 13:45:11 UTC

So it is. [Victor doesn't sound like he cares much.]

[Private]

No, sir. Our infirmary is not that kind of hospital.

needshumility April 13 2011, 13:48:33 UTC

I don't think you get to pick and choose who you help.

[Private]

What kind of hospital, exactly? I'm a little unfamiliar with your time period myself.

failedcreator April 13 2011, 13:52:51 UTC

And yet I have chosen. So it is.

[Private]

The type of hospital that is willing to sell the bodies of the dead to those who would use them for science and less savory ends.

needshumility April 13 2011, 13:54:20 UTC

I can't imagine it'll last long, though.

[Private]

I see. I... that's a new one to me.

Is there anything, um, unsavoury at all that goes off in there?

failedcreator April 13 2011, 13:57:05 UTC

I do not wish to discuss this thing.

[Private]

In the infirmary? Of course there is no unsavory business. Unless, of course, one inmate happened to sneak in their with murder on his mind. But that is not the fault of the staff.

private needshumility April 13 2011, 14:00:42 UTC

Then... I'm not sure I understand why you're rejecting the work. Can't you do a bit of both?

private failedcreator April 13 2011, 14:03:34 UTC

I have no desire to continue the work. I wish to fully dedicate my limited energies to my new route of discovery.

Re: private needshumility April 13 2011, 14:04:45 UTC

But it's... surely you'll do more good for everyone by being in the infirmary.

private failedcreator April 13 2011, 14:07:01 UTC

How can you know such a thing? I may be a terrible doctor.

Re: private needshumility April 13 2011, 14:10:37 UTC

I'm not sure they'd have employed you in the first place if you were.

private failedcreator April 13 2011, 14:12:38 UTC

This is so. You use logic with some cunning, it appears.
