I've noticed more new voices than usual over the network recently, a high frequency of arrivals. I do wonder if the pull's activity correlates to the same force that generated the earthquake- if this is a sign of further trouble, or a side effect. Still no official word or scientific report, only street speculations. But there must be someone

"Special" how?

Nana has undergone extensive testing in a laboratory setting, and knows of very little else. I'm still figuring out the exact details of her background. It is possible that the lead researcher had developed some kind of parental bond with her, she keeps asking for her Papa.

Her vocabulary needs some work, and she'll need to be taught how to take care of herself, but she is polite, sweet-mannered and gentle in disposition. She appears to be around age twelve physically, but has the mind of a much younger child. I believe she has a capacity to learn, but would do best with a good guardian to support her and help her along. She has a full set of prosthetic limbs, but I believe with a little work, she can use them adequately.

Testing? Her? But she's...just a little kid!

[proud_papa]

...All right. If I can help, I want to.

She's physically in an equivalent of early adolescence- I don't know how old Nana actually is, but it's clear from what I've seen of her so far that she needs good, intensive child care to help her thrive. I can't provide that myself, though I would like to remain her physician.

Are you currently employed and in good health yourself?

[proud_papa]

I'm in good health, yeah. Not about to kick it anytime soon. No job as of yet - I have an interview tomorrow.

[gaveherwings]

Do you think you could provide for her?

Or...well, I could help supplement for expenses, perhaps. I just can't really be her- I'd rather see her with an adequate caretaker, you understand, don't you? I have heard you speaking about your experience with parenting before. [It's fun to stalk Minas' conversations.] You sounded quite enthusiastic.

[proud_papa]

Yeah. I managed to luck my way into the best job in the whole world.

Figure I can. I may have to ask for your help in the next week or so, but after that, I think I'll be okay.

[gaveherwings]

Wonderful.

I can arrange for you to meet with Nana on our visiting hours, to make sure you two get along nicely? She responds very well to positive encouragement. We could discuss any further details then.

[video; private]

[proud_papa]

Yeah, I talked to her already. She seems like a really good kid. Wouldn't have guessed all that about experimentation, though.

[video; private]

[gaveherwings]

She's familiar with doctors, with scientists, with testing, with pain. She doesn't know of colors, numbers...I don't think she's ever been inside of a residence.

[proud_papa]

She just never gone to school, or is she slow? The answer's not gonna affect whether or not I look after her, just asking 'cause I need to know.

[video; private]

[gaveherwings]

No schooling experience, I suspect. She's quick and eager to learn, and follows directives well.

[video; private]

[proud_papa]

All right. I'd kinda like to know who it is who'd experiment on a kid like that.

[gaveherwings]

If Doctor Kurama ever turns up here, I suppose you can ask him yourself.

However, there is one other important thing. But I'll leave that to Nana to tell you, since it is hers to share, and I'll clarify if needed.

[proud_papa]

If you think that's best, then I guess we'll go with that. Do you think she'll...be okay?
