wavs/robert-1.wav|Hello. My name is Doctor Robert Cromwell. Doctor Blaylock and Doctor Vaughn, I presume. It's nice to meet you. You must be busy adapting to Caduceus, as well as the newly established team. But the director recommended you two, so I would appreciate your assistance.
wavs/robert-2.wav|Let me remind you that it is the duty of those in the medical field to not only cure patients, but to also research and pioneer new treatments. Doctors and researchers must work together to fight diseases both present and future. That's the purpose of Caduceus. There may be some interesting characters here, but they're all excellent doctors.
wavs/robert-3.wav|I consider myself very fortunate to be able to conduct medical research among them. And on top of that, we now have the assistance of two truly gifted doctors with the Healing Touch.
wavs/robert-4.wav|I firmly believe that with your precision, the data we'll be able to collect will be invaluable. That is why I'm so enthusiastic about your surgical skills. You don't have any objections, do you?
wavs/robert-5.wav|Now then, there's an operation I'd like the two of you to perform. The research you're contributing to will give new hope to heart disease patients everywhere. I'll explain as I show you my lab.
wavs/robert-6.wav|It's true that many people frown upon our astronomical research budget, mostly journalists and politicians who are trying to make a name for themselves. You know how difficult it is to produce significant results when conducting revolutionary research. But thankfully, we also have generous supporters such as...
wavs/robert-7.wav|Isabella, you really should start acting more professional. This is Miss Vasquez. She's a representative of the Humani Corporation.
wavs/robert-8.wav|We're partnered with a number of large pharmaceutical companies and medical manufacturers, including Humani, who've been a tremendous help to us.
wavs/robert-9.wav|We have a research specialist from Humani on staff as well. She's a very talented young woman and has produced great results. I believe she's nearby. Cynthia, can you spare a moment?
wavs/robert-10.wav|Thank you. I'd appreciate it. The operation that you'll be performing would not be possible without her help.
wavs/robert-11.wav|This is Cynthia Kazakov. She's a beautiful woman, as you can see, and quite brilliant.
wavs/robert-12.wav|So, you two are old friends. I have a feeling this will be a fruitful partnership. Now, Cynthia, can you explain to them about the cardiac patch?
wavs/robert-13.wav|That's where the myocardial patch comes in.
wavs/robert-14.wav|Someone, call for Doctor Everett!
wavs/robert-15.wav|That was a flawless operation, simply perfect. The patch is sure to integrate with the existing tissue. The patient should recover nicely.
wavs/robert-16.wav|Well, we wouldn't want to take up all of your time. The director has already spoken to us regarding the research on Stigma. We're currently in the planning stages. In time, we'll show you what we're capable of. Right, Cynthia?
wavs/robert-17.wav|My pleasure, although our analysis is only partially complete. First, the biopsy. Stigma did not match any known organism, meaning it's a new species, so we'll have to come up with a name for it. So how about it, Doctor Everett? You'll be a grandfather one of these days.
wavs/robert-18.wav|Oh, well, in that case, I'll ask someone else. Now, regarding the spectral analysis, our attempts to determine its structure resulted in failure.
wavs/robert-19.wav|We tried a different machine, but the outcome was the same. We screened for nucleic acid, proteins, glucose, lipids and ATP, but there were no matches. Stigma consists of an organic compound that is completely foreign to us.
wavs/robert-20.wav|Whoever is credited with its discovery will surely make history. From a medical perspective, it's fortunate that Stigma's infectivity is weak. We're trying to culture it, but so far there's no sign of growth or multiplication. It's going to be difficult to determine the means of infection as well.
wavs/robert-21.wav|Take these artificial veins with you. The endothelialized cells are perfect for the operation. Ordinarily, they'd take a month to produce, but our technology lets us make them in 10 days. They're made of special material which is easy to suture with and prevents the formation of thrombi. We only recently gained approval to use them.
wavs/robert-22.wav|I'll be presenting a report on that in the near future, incidentally.
wavs/robert-23.wav|You all need to stand back. Call for Doctor Everett.
wavs/robert-24.wav|After careful analysis, we have discovered two unique characteristics of Stigma. First, its genetic information is stored in a film-like architecture. That alone differentiates it from organisms such as ourselves, whose genetic code is stored in chains.
wavs/robert-25.wav|The other unique characteristic is that it requires a special type of metal for growth. It only requires a minuscule amount, but without it, Stigma cannot survive. I wish I could say the discovery was mine, but it's Cynthia who deserves the credit. It was her keen insight that led to the breakthrough.
wavs/robert-26.wav|Oh, I beg your pardon. It's a rare alloy known as Culurium. It has attracted considerable attention as of late.
wavs/robert-27.wav|Culurium is used in various fields, but primarily the medical industry. Although it's only been in use for 10 years, there are already numerous applications. Electrodes, as an ingredient in medicine, the synthetic heme for artificial blood. It's used in cutting-edge medical technology, to be certain.
wavs/robert-28.wav|The patient has been flown in by the military. We don't know how infectious the disease is, so use the quarantine transfer unit. According to preliminary examination, we're dealing with a new type of Stigma, so we'll be relying heavily on your abilities. I know that's a lot to ask since you just returned, but I hope you're up for the challenge.
wavs/robert-29.wav|I'd like to say that you'll have the very best working with you in the research lab, but unfortunately we've lost a key staff member. We'll still do all that we can, though.
wavs/robert-30.wav|Cynthia left. She quit while you were away.
wavs/robert-31.wav|Do you have any idea why she quit, Isabella?
wavs/robert-32.wav|That's where this baby comes in.
wavs/robert-33.wav|It's the result of our research. It will allow us to turn Stigma's own characteristics against it. You see, we were able to extract a Culurium-based fluid which will temporarily restrict its...
wavs/robert-34.wav|Toxin, I presume. If we ignore it, it'll enter the patient's body via the grapplers. Needless to say, it will be detrimental to the patient.
wavs/robert-35.wav|It seems like the toxin is being used to regenerate the excised tissue.
wavs/robert-36.wav|That's probably the result of a rapid contraction designed to stimulate regeneration. Perhaps this can be used to our advantage, since it places a great deal of stress on the core. If we repeat this process, we may be able to force the core to destroy itself.
wavs/robert-37.wav|This is an anti-Stigma agent. It hinders the synthesis of nucleic acids, thereby inhibiting the growth of Stigma. Needless to say, its clinical trial isn't complete. But this is an emergency.
wavs/robert-38.wav|It has strong nephrotoxicity.
wavs/robert-39.wav|Yes, unfortunately. We're not very popular at the moment. I was hoping to have Cynthia's assistance, but no one knows her whereabouts.
wavs/robert-40.wav|Hopefully, she's just taking a vacation. But we should investigate her mysterious disappearance regardless. I've asked the director to look into the matter.
wavs/robert-41.wav|Our top priority is the analysis of Ahusti's data on Stigma. I have to admit, though, I'm not exactly looking forward to it. However, it's of tremendous importance to pathology and pharmacology.
wavs/robert-42.wav|Well, our purpose here at Caduceus is to save lives. I'm sure that's where her heart was while she was with us.
