VIDEO: 009 - gore warning

[animusnpcs]

[A video begins to play. It looks like the recording is coming from something like a security camera, displaying a surgical suite from the ceiling. There is a child, a girl, strapped down to the table, conscious and shivering.

A doctor enters the room and injects the girl with something--her shivering abates, though she's clearly still conscious. The doctor then turns, facing the camera. The badge clipped to the bottom of his surgical scrubs names him as Jason Summers, but despite the familiar first name his features are different from the administrator who shares it.]

Experiment fifteen on subject 009. Subject has displayed advanced healing psionics. Destructive testing will commence.

[The doctor turns away from the camera and to the girl, addressing her simply.] Your task is to heal yourself as quickly as possible, 009.

[He vivisects the girl now, face smooth as if this were routine. At first his cuts heal themselves up as he makes them, but he works with tireless patience and eventually her chest is open, her organs being cut out piece by piece. They rebuild themselves, though the more the doctor cuts out the slower the process, the less comes back. And soon she's losing the race. The doctor can cut faster than she can heal.

Her mouth is open--she's screaming, or would be if her vocal cords weren't paralyzed. She doesn't seem to be able to move beyond that. Her healing stutters, slows, fails--there's an arc of blood as an artery seems to burst on its own.

The girl dies after twenty minutes.]

[ ... Doc does not reply after that, he just stares at the video.

He looks pretty horrified upon watching it to be honest, but makes sure to assimilate every details and informations he can. Dear Jason Summers, that is not how you do science. Not at all. ]
