Welcome to Gaia! ::

Coming into his office, unlocking the door, he noticed a note on his door along with what appeared to be a list. He absently snagged the list pinned to the door and strode in, taking a seat behind his desk. Reading over the note and the list, he assumed that "For the lab" meant that those were the items that the lab in general was short in supply on, the "For Myself" list being what he needed for personal experiments in the research field. He tapped his fingers, then stood up, holding the list and headed for the medical bunker.

((Continued in medical bunker.))

Drumming his fingers on the desk in front of him, shifting through a mountain of paperwork, mostly requisition forms for one department or another, he heard a knock on the door and a voice he identified as one of the newest Initiates, Silver by name, came through the door, sounding excited. "Come in.", he said rather bored and pushed the paperwork to one side of his desk, waiting for the excited researcher to enter, shifting slighting in the large padded chair, the weight of his power armor making the chair creak.

((The point of a soldier selecting to carry a limited amount of stimpacks is to make supplies last in the field, teaching control, and not just keep stabbing stimpack after stimpack in your arm to keep you going practically indefinitely in battle, people can carry however many they want as long as they have enough weapon slots, like ten stimpacks counts as one weapon slot and people usually only use like one.))

"Sounds interesting, what common resource would this be exactly? The sound of a machine sounds bulky for a soldier carrying around in battle and I can't see something short of being large producing alot of stimpacks at once. But the concept is intriguing, even if you can't develop a very small model, producing a large one would be a breakthrough since stimpacks are always in limited supply, despite being numerous in the wastelands. If we could produce them from such a machine with very little materials used, then that'd supply our soldiers with a good amount of stimpacks in general.", he said as he leaned back in the office chair, steepling his fingers together.

Lowering his head as if absorbing the information, he looked back up, the yellow glow of the helmet's eyes seeming to bore into the fidgety researcher. "So, you're telling me that you wish to develop something that basically takes the life blood of a soldier in order to create something that heals him, isn't that a bit counter productive? Also, how much blood are we talking about here to create a single stimpack? What is our present stimpacks created out of? I'm fairly certain it's not human blood, but probably some chemical created in a lab, unless you're implying that human blood would accelerate the process of creating a stimpack, a faster, alternative method?", he said sternly.

Rubbing the chin of his helmet with an armored hand, he says, "It seems to be a problem though about using the blood of the dead, that the cells in the blood dies off quickly when the host does. It sounds like you need living blood in order for it to function correctly to get the healing agents from it, unless the dead is fresh. But such a machine sounds like it couldn't be compacted down in the normal field, so would have to be produced for base use, such as being used in the medical bunker since fresh blood is spilled there all the time from surgeries, which could be recycled into stimpacks, along with bringing in corpses, ally or dead, for autopsy. Overall, it sounds quite intriguing and useful."

((You know, I won't approve it for field use, only base use. Also, you didn't quite answer my question about the dead cells, unless the dismissal of the question was just confirming that what I said was true and needing completely fresh corpses for it to work using the dead.))

"Permission granted, also, if you wish to test on those subjects, you'll have to either collect the subjects personally or try to get a team together in order to capture or kill them. The ghouls are a touchy issue since mostly they're considered allies, unless you can find a local ghoul town that has some fresh dead that needs disposed of, it's not many hostile ghouls around here unless they're renegades. Farther east of the continent wouldn't be a problem, many of the ghouls are flesh eaters and considered hostile, but it'll be difficult finding ghoul subjects around here. Anyways, carry on with your experiments, you're dismissed, close the door on the way out.", he said, nodding slightly at the door. Which then he turned his attention back to the paperwork on his desk that he originally pushed aside.

((I had to edit my post due to you editing yours, unfortunately, you replied before I finished editing, but oh well.))
