[The video opens on a guy with a mass of long hair that's being tied behind with both hands. The feed captures his medical coat, and the dim blue hue of monitors to his back. Their light reflects off the metal shelf by his right, whilst his desk sits in darkness, save for a lamp pointed down at the papers on its surface.

Machines hum in the background; together with the ticking of a clock and nearby footfall. He takes a hasty glance and, unsure of how to begin things, shuts his eyes. Does he introduce himself? Does he jump straight to his question? His fingers pull the tie taut then tap his sides. Last month's events were a strange twist of fate - a collapse of logic - that did not allow them peace. Alas! They had raised a question he could not solve alone.

It takes a moment of thought before he talks. His voice is calm but his speech? Noticably slow.]

On examining the situation with the rise of native superheroes, as you call them, I find myself puzzled. We beheld those who were ordinary become capable of the extraordinary. I request you answer one question that's on my mind:

What is the place of imPorts in this world now?

hell no

anyone putting blind faith in a n y of this was deluding themselves from the start
it is always about the exchange of services
a continual capitalistic circlejerk
everything has conditions and if you don't get told the conditions you can bet your ass it's coming for you later

and the minute something cheaper comes along that later becomes NOW pretty gd quick

And has that now ever come before?

I fear, whoever you are, that it always has. I cannot see how this world would break that pattern.

Regardless, I truly thank you for your answer. It is insightful as to the situation here.

is that an actual question???

has it now ever come before HERE???
we're given carte blanche p much, bc we are easy to control (""easy"" - i'm talking nanite shit not joke trials with tv lawyers and getting our asses thrown in a min security slammer to cool down) and bc they can make shit happen to us
but mostly bc we're convenient

BUT we are also hugely unpredictable and now they've got some of their own it isn't hard to see how we are heading for some big world nepotism

yw tho
and u can call me anon

[Look, he's been up all night working. Have some chill.]

I shall. Though such a title is unusual, and I will not hide that it would be nice to address you by your proper name. Unfortunately, what I've heard informs me as to why its hidden.

Anyway. The nanites you mention. I've heard of those. Is it the Porter responsible for those or our allies in government?

u got smarts, bro

which means you can probs read which means take a browse thru this

seems like the good ole DOD is taking the cred since they make such a big deal about mining that shit for our ~ benefit ~

[this is actually her version of being helpful don't be confused]

[Some time later: Victor easily eludes the security dilemma - it's not his concern - and delves into medical matters.]

What a load of nonsense.

[That's his verdict, then.]

Medical professionals are aware of the principle of consent to treatment. Patients deserve reliable guidance and not to be treated as subject for human experimentation.

They seem more like scientists than doctors.

[Much like his father. Wow many issues.]

imo they seem like douchetools
but your assessment is g too

but you get what i mean
we just ARE shit to them
and now we aren't even SPECIAL shit

Thus the constant question of what might happen when we cease being useful. I find it utterly detestable; but the reason for our presence is unfortunately not so simple. Perhaps one might change their minds.

letter writing campaign, appeal to the ambassador, or sit in

I expect others have thought of such action. It doesn't stop us being stuck in a wretched place; so I will attend to my work instead of heeding such machinations. How you have managed to live here till now I hardly know.

i mean it's basically like living in ever big brother is watching capitalistic bullshit state just with lamer clothes AND superpowers

we manage
some of us are just pissed about it

what's your work

Dissecting, anatomizing and giving name to life.

Medicine, in other words. But it is not quite as brutal as it sounds.

[Which doesn't make him sound like a mad scientist, get out.]

[yeah ok]

p sure you shouldn't have to follow up your job descrip with NOT AS BRUTAL AS IT SOUNDS if it isn't actual brutal

It isn't brutal. [Sigh.] Dare you consider that it might be my bedside manner and not my approach to treatment?

your bedside manner is brutal?????

Yes, although it is because I believe in the truth; which does not include keeping people in ignorance on matters of their health.

[Except for Victoria, naturally so.]

and not bc of live vivisections and total Re-Animator shit
you're just an honest doc in a world of sweet talkers

got it

[That's more his father, really.]

I'm glad to hear it. I am surprised to hear that you think so little of my profession, honestly.

why

It promotes good science; or rather it should, as I do.

it cannot be a new thing to you that people feel weird about doctors

IN GENERAL, wellness, as a commodity, pisses people off
and if it doesn't it should

Quite so. It should anger people, but it doesn't, and when they voice their concerns they are called mad. So yes, indeed, it is hardly new to me that doctors hold an uncomfortable sway over people.

ok so is this one of those

i agree but SHRUG i gotta eat things

That shall be proved in time; my work speaks for itself. But I do not want to keep you from your meal. If that's what you're referring to, at any rate?

no dr dingus i mean you're DOING this bc YOU have to eat

you disapprove of the fucked up structure of medicine and medical assistance for pay
but as your ass is the one benefiting from said fucked up structure
you go with it and you keep on sucking at that sweet money tit

but i am kind of hungry now that you mention it

(no subject)
