The Tale of a Jerk and a Scientist
Characters: Hojo and YOU
Setting: Throughout the tower. Pick a floor, any floor.
Format: Action to start, but I'll match prose, too
Summary: After some time spent wandering his ruined world like a ghost, Hojo has returned to the Tower. His first priority? Research.
Warnings: A complete lack of scientific ethics, which may come up.
[A great deal has gone on in Hojo's absence--he's been gone months!--and this has had the unfortunate effect of upsetting so much of his research. He has absolutely no idea what's happened while he's been gone.
So what's a scientist to do? Make his way through all the floors he had been so carefully studying, trying to salvage what he can. Sometimes he talks to himself. Sometimes he hums. Off-key or tunelessly. Sometimes he scowls and stops to take notes. Sometimes he smiles. And stops to take notes again. He grits his teeth, doing his best to ignore the cold. He's worked in cold (very cold) climates before. Fortunately, he has a Fire Materia, which provides some warmth.
One might find him in the cafeteria, taking samples of the oatmeal.
In the observatory, he spends a long time looking out, studying the strange creatures visible through the glass.
He takes soil samples in the graveyard, and biological samples on floor Forty-One, collecting insects. He plucks a few blossoms in the meadow (Twenty-Five) and in the garden (Twenty-Nine).
He stops in the clinic to deal with a few of the wounds he's sustained along the way.
He pauses to enjoy the morgue (Twenty-Six) and the laboratory (Twenty-Seven), looking for traces of his old research with Fuhito. He doesn't find much, though what he finds, he gathers up. What a shame. So much work lost. All the more reason to work more, and harder.]
So much to do, so much...

Are you capable of reasoning then, as well as destroying? I wonder what the reason to create a reasoning weapon is. [He gives a short laugh.]
Ah, there it is. I expected there would be some limit to your answers. It only makes sense. Such a sophisticated weapon should have its safeguards. Are these named individuals present in the Tower?
no subject
I am capable, yes. The reasoning is simple: a weapon without such a capability would simply kill or destroy with little or not discretion or concern about non-combatant casualties. As I am now, I would be capable of doing what is necessary without direct orders from my superiors.
They are, however Allen Ridgeley is not the one that I am familiar with. It would be best to speak with Shion in regards to my construction.
no subject
The fact that you can act without your superiors' orders doesn't concern them? What if you get an idea they don't like?
And don't you feel that using your powers here might be a good idea, considering?
Perhaps I will, if we meet.
no subject
I do believe that my abilities will prove to be useful here, yes. There have not been ah need until this point in time, however.
no subject
You don't think there's a need? How will you discover whether your powers can combat this place without trying? That seems rather lax.
no subject
[That's such a huge lie but even KOS-MOS doesn't know about Mary's soul being inside her.]
I have already been in several combat situations with native monsters here and have had no difficulty in disposing of them. And my transfer system is functioning acceptably.
[To demonstrate, her F-SCYTHE appears in hand.]
no subject
Yes, the native monsters are rather simple, not unlike the monsters of my world. Not that I'd want to fight them alone, ha ha.
Transfer system? Yes you seem to be well-functioning. [He raises his eyebrows at the scythe.] And what is that?
no subject
[They are pretty weak. If she were able to feel or enjoy anything, she'd prefer the challenge of a Gnosis.]
The Transfer system is used to transfer goods from one location to another.
This is the F-SCYTHE, created by Miyuki Itsumi of Vector Industries Second R&D Division.
