I was recently invited, if that's the word, to assist in a comparison of DNA samples. At first I thought he was someone from my world, the glow was the same, but after that brief heart attack it was just nice tech. Are you one of the scientists he's asking for a second opinion?

[frightening]

[ AUUUGHH ]

No, but I know exactly who and what you're talking about. All the original samples have been destroyed for reasons of conforming to Eudio's consent laws, but if you have anything leftover I can explain the situation and/or disease to you.

[harrisonwells]

Nothing but what I remember. Which is all of it. A hyperaggressive atypical composite that mutates its hosts to resemble the original incubation subject, from what I gathered. Who was that masked man?

[frightening]

That's not quite what it is.

Jason Todd. My son.

[harrisonwells]

[The answer takes a few more seconds than it usually would.]

So you're either the best or the worst person to be asking about this. I'll assume it's best. I didn't know you had a son.

[frightening]

I have four, and a daughter. I'm told it's a side-effect of being an orphan.

Jason isn't well.

[harrisonwells]

[What. The hell you look old enough to have five kids. Interesting.]

I just have the one, but she's back home.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Is this a topic you'd rather avoid?

[frightening]

Thanks to alternate dimensions, I somehow have six here. The oldest is a stripper now so, you know. This is me wishing you luck.

[ ... Parenting humor ??? Maybe. ]

It's unavoidable.

[harrisonwells]

Great, now I'll sleep soundly at night, thank you for that.

[If the array of kids was younger, he'd be asking if Bruce needed a hand with them, or an afternoon off. Parents do the best they can, but sometimes it doesn't feel like enough.]

Then we won't avoid it.

[ He doesn't actually mind Dick being a stripper, but he recognizes the humor in it. ]

Are you at the facility? It's easier to explain the disease if I can draw out the sequencing.

[harrisonwells]

I can meet you there if that will be easier for you.

[Even if he doesn't think the disease is the central feature of the discussion anymore.]

[frightening]

Alright.
