Third Incision - In which there is kleptomania.

[healforscience]

[Medic is feeling very smug right now. Without his own medical kit, he's been making one by stealing various odds and ends from the hospital. Initally, he didn't think this was a very good idea, but everyone at the hospital greeted him this morning as if he had worked there for years. It wasn't hard to swipe a few things here and there, and he

...You're not a Nazi, are you?

[healforscience]

Ach, no, vhy vould I be?

[bornwithskison]

The 'willing patient' thing... It reminded me of that one who did those experiments.

[healforscience]

Vell, vould you rahzer they be unwillink?

[bornwithskison]

No.

I may be willing to help out, but that all depends on what type of studying you'd be doing. I'm not exactly... Human, but I'd still like to know what I'd be subjecting myself to.

[healforscience]

Dissection, mostly. I vant to know how ze people who brought us here altered our bodies.

[bornwithskison]

...Say what.

[healforscience]

Vell, in comink here, I found zhat my scars vere gone, und I know a few ohzer people have other things, such as tattoos or even extra body parts missink.

Somevone vanted us to be as..."typical" und similar as human beinks can possibly be.

[bornwithskison]

But... What would dissecting someone do--Or even those of us who aren't human?

[healforscience]

I am lookink for fundamental differences, und things that ve all have in common zhat zhere should not be.

Und so I am takink blood samples, und attempting to make a record of all ze physical changes individuals 'ave undergone since arriving here. Zhere may be a pattern zhat I am not noticing.

Not only zhat, but if anyvone happens to die, since you just vake up ze next mornink, I vould like permission to autopsy ze body.

[bornwithskison]

...I'll do the blood sample and the physical--I need to have my arm looked at anyways. The... Autopsy bit... I'll think about it.

[healforscience]

Danke. Vhy do you need you arm looked at? Vhat did you do to it?

[bornwithskison]

I was attacked and a friend stitched it up for me. Consider it part of my stubbornness, but I went for a day or two without seeking him out--All I did was wrap it up when I got home after the incident.

[healforscience]

...Did you at least vash it out?

[bornwithskison]

Of course. I'm not that barbaric--At least in this day and age.
