[Hello, Hinoto-ri, today you are greeted by a man in a lab coat. A lab coat with pins on it. Clearly this man is the most professional.]

Greetings, good morning, salutations, et cetera. My name is Doctor Owen Harper and I just wanted to say hello.

I'm in no way new, so save your breath and don't try to give me the big spiel, I just know I haven't put my face out there yet and that's not the greatest idea when you're a doctor.

Doctor-patient trust and all that.

I've recently started on with the hospital here, so I'm just here to let you know which face to look for.

//Locked to the Visitors only//

And since all intelligent people take their governments with a grain of salt, I'll be happy to do house calls if government-run facilities aren't your thing.

[Hell, they weren't even really his thing.]

Well, that ends your lovely PSA, enjoy doing whatever it is you lot do around here.

[There's a pause as he's about to turn the recording off, but then has second thoughts.]

Actually one more PSA for the extended quality of your lives! Sora Naegino: if anyone gets the notion to hurt her or starts looking to date her, just understand that I am willing and able to make your death look like an accident.

[Now have a cheery smile!]

Thanks!

[Owen smirks, though it threatens to turn into a full smile.]

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to acquire the equipment needed. I'd just need a list.

[Bend the law? It's a hobby.]

Then my job here is done. I'm nothing if not helpful.

[Oh and modest.]

Wonderful. I've already filled out all of the appropriate requisition forms. I can have them sent directly to your COMP or on paper, as you prefer.

Of course. It's only fair warning.

Boys can be arses, Sora, you should be careful.

[Yeah, cause you're totally not in that category, right, Owen?]

Not all of them. I lived in a house full of them before. If anything, I think Clive-san and Sasuke liked each other!

[Dumb when it comes her her love life but when it comes to others? Welp...]

I can see that!

[Anyway....] Even though you aren't new, it's nice to meet you, Doctor. I'm Minako Arisato.

He seems to have good intentions, at least.

"Good, I need my beauty sleep after all. Well, Ruri, don't hesitate to call me if another demon ever attacks you or what have you. It's not like I've got much else to do around here but patch people up."

Guess the COMP's as good as anything.

But, really, screw the red tape, love, that'll take forever.

Well, yeah, not all, but there's enough that you ought to be careful.

M'just looking out for you, that's all.

[Just accept it, Sora, he really doesn't do this for anyone else.]

[He liked this girl already.]

Nice to meet you, Minako. Let me know if I can ever do anything for you, even if it's not making someone's death look like an accident.

"If you'd like I can find some recreational activities. Most people tend to get injured in waves with long periods of quiet, generally to go with the quiet vs. insanity that happens here."

If I want to start dating then yes.

[Hear that tone? It's like 'scare away any chance of making friends'.]

It's really thoughtful of you to do so, but I'll be okay. I know a lot more than I did nearly two years ago.

[Has it been that long since she was home?]

"Huh...my idea of a good schedule. What recreational activities come to mind, exactly?"

[That's a long time and it makes him pause. Well, she has a point. Still...]

Granted. Doesn't mean I'm not going to worry, now does it?

Which, actually, reminds me. You got a job for yourself yet?

"There is a public pool that opened, a visitor like us has opened a drinking establishment, there is a convenience store that has opened around a series of books that seem devoted to humiliating a few of the more established visitors."

She ponders a bit.

"Things of that nature. I've been working on compiling things that we visitors do in case we need to band together."

Even better. I'll send the list over soon, then. Pleasure doing business, Dr. Harper.

Anytime, Ms. Fumi.

[After a little while, the list of what Fumi needs will show up on Owen's COMP, properly encrypted and with a separate encryption key sent afterward. She doesn't skimp on security, especially when she's dodging red tape. The list essentially encompasses most of what's listed here.]

By all means. I honestly doubt it's any less safe in your hands than it is in theirs. It isn't that I believe any of the doctors themselves are conspiring... There are others, specific people, whom I'm concerned about. People who could use their connections to obtain samples without my permission.

[She looks noticeably relieved about the entire situation. It had obviously been bothering her for quite some time.]

If it wouldn't be an inconvenience... You would have my utmost of gratitude, Doctor Harper. My name is Samus Aran, by the way. You should let me know if you have any trouble receiving a sample from their labs.

"Makes sense..." He thinks about it a moment. Those all sound like things he should keep in mind, especially things like a pool that he didn't get to use all that much.

However, one mentioned stands out the most.

"Did you say drinking establishment? Exactly where would I find that one, out of curiosity?"

"Taurus district. It looks like a warehouse. I've really only been there when it was not operating but its run by a visitor."

A pleasure to meet you, Samus Aran, it's not a problem at all; trust me, I almost prefer them if only to shake the feeling of Big Brother being over my shoulder.

[But it didn't seem to make sense to open his own clinic when there was a fully functional hospital available, either.

He smiles a bit, the sort of smile that says he's potentially up to no good. Laws? What laws?]

I'm sure I'll have no problem. Would you, uh, be interested in me taking those samples off their hands so they can find their way back to yours when I'm done looking them over?

"A;right, then. I'll probably check it out next chance I get. Well, on my off day, anyway. Being drunk on the job makes it kind of hard to do it right, plus it's frowned upon. Thanks for telling me about it."
