Summary: "What's the problem?"


"So. How's the specimen doing this morning?"

"Terrible. I'm really regretting having agreed to this particular assignment."

"What's the problem?"

"He's resisting every experiment I try to subject him to. Skewing every single result."

"Wow. I know he's a new subject, but I expected him to have already been broken when they brought him in."

"Well, somebody screwed that part of processing up. I'd terminate him, if it weren't for the paperwork."

"You know, if the life-support systems just happened to blow a fuse, you could skip that hassle."

"You have a point, there. It's certainly a tempting idea."
