[The sphere shows Riku, of all things. He walks down the hallway in a slow stride, heading towards his room. The sphere's lens follows his steps when Riku makes it to the door. He scans his bar-code to be let in and the room opens for him. There's a blur on the screen for a moment, then it vanishes. If you look close enough, Isshin's hand can be

[oh Isshin, crazed or not, guess who isn't very happy with you?] Kurosaki Isshin!

[he's not near level 20, unfortunately, so he can't come immediately stop things. the growl in his voice and the glare shouldn't be too hard to miss, but he's besides himself with anger--and more importantly, he knows how important it is to stop someone in that current state of mind before anybody else gets hurt.]

That is why you wanted to know where Riku was?! You're a bigger idiot than I thought!

[heresthebasics]

If I'm the idiot, how come you couldn't figure it out? He was right in front of you the entire time and you didn't notice!

[bit_impossible]

Because he's not completely mental like you are right now! You should have listened to me in the first place and simply sedated yourself.

[heresthebasics]

[He mumbles to himself] I've tried, but I can't. This damn thing in my head gets me so scared when I try...

What do you know! I hardly know who you are, why should I have put any trust in you? For all I know you're another traitor!

[bit_impossible]

[hears that thanks to his fantastic hearing and he tries for a more reasonable tone.] That's why I told you to come to me, but you didn't li--[stops when he hears that outburst and his expression darkens]

I'm the Doctor, Isshin, not a doctor, but The Doctor, and above all else, I'm a Time Lord. What I know could fill this entire ship to the brim with books and even then you'd still be at the tip of the iceberg of my knowledge! And you have to trust me because you've got no other choice if you ever want to go home, and especially if you ever want to see your kids again!

Let Riku go!

Sorry for all the reposts. It's getting too late for me to concentrate.

[heresthebasics]

[Isshin's ears perk up at mention of his kids. He thinks for a second looks hard at the Doctor and almost decides to give it all up. But then the paranoia comes back.] Don't you understand! I'm doing this for all of us. He's the root of all of this! Riku let Orion go!

[Suddenly realizing how out of control he's been.] Give me thirty minutes. If nothing comes of this after thirty minutes, I'll back down and I'll even let you sedate me.

It's fine~

[bit_impossible]

...I shouldn't even give you five. Why would I give you half an hour?!

[heresthebasics]

I won't hurt anyone. If I do, I give you permission to kick my ass. Don't give me that time, and these headaches are just going to get worse. I'm stronger than you think Doctor. You'll have a hard time stopping me if I can't stop myself.

Thirty minutes, that's all I'm asking for.

[bit_impossible]

Fifteen or I stop you now.

[heresthebasics]

Doctor, you try to stop me and you risk killing Riku and anyone else you bring with you.

I need that time. If my time ends before all my questions are done, I can't guarantee anyone's safety.

[bit_impossible]

[grins dangerously] Oh, I'm not coming with anybody else. Don't need to.

I'll give you those thirty minutes--but retroactively to the moment you attacked him. And don't underestimate me. It'd be terribly unwise to especially if you hurt Riku any more than you have.

[heresthebasics]

I thought I told you not to underestimate me.

I'll make a note of it.

[bit_impossible]

Actually I said it first, Isshin, but let's not argue semantics. 'Tick-tock' goes the clock, after all!
