ROLE — SURGEON 💉
SURGEON
welcome, crewmate ARTHUR STARLING.
On MONDAY afternoon, after the Eudora has arrived at its new destination, Arthur will hear the familiar ping of his I.R.I.S. Without even having to lift his hand to respond to it, a window immediately materializes from particles in a spread of dark gold, and a message sent only to his employee ID loads in the window.
There is no compulsion to obey the request, but the offer extended to you has a distinct tinge of stubborn hope... and it does sound interesting.

Arthur Starling,
Desperate times call for desperate measures. There's something that I need your help with, but I'll be honest, it's a ghost promotion without too many perks. That is, unless you consider the chance to perhaps change things for the better something of a perk.
Meet me in the medical bay as soon as you receive this message. We don't have time to waste. Clock's ticking.

IO
The medical bay is by no means difficult to find, however Arthur will see a sign that very politely says OUT TO LUNCH, BACK IN 1 HOUR. While the biometric lock on the door indicates that it is locked at first, upon Arthur nearing it, it will flash a soft green and allow him inside.
Io is there already, peering through a microscope and writing in a small, leather journal. They will lift their head towards Arthur, the display on their helmet blank. They gesture with a gloved hand towards a set of stools placed at their desk, where there are a pair of data tablets as well. At the center of the desk, there are some neatly made dumplings and a fresh pot of tea with a pair of mis-matched cups.
They smooth a palm over their long jacket and reach into their pocket to withdraw a leatherbound notebook. "Come, have a seat and I'll try and explain this as best I can."

RULES
As the crewmate responsible for the surgeon role, Arthur is expected to follow a few rules:
1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. This can be revisited at a later date. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences, and termination of the designation are possible.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the true source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. Once a week, the Surgeon will be called upon to do the following:
🩺 Select one of your fellow junior crewmates' files. If the chosen crewmate is targeted for murder on Thursday evening, they may be protected from their demise.
🫀Select one of your fellow junior crewmates' files. If the chosen crewmate is voted for execution on Sunday afternoon, they may be saved from their demise.
4. Selection must be made during Arthur's meeting with Io when summoned (OOCly selections are due by TUESDAY 3 PM PST/6 PM EST). Once one or both parties leave the meeting, the job is considered over for the week and no selections or further work can be done. This does not mean that the role can't be discussed in audiences, however.

And - this is up to me? Do I have to decide before I leave the room?
no subject
Your usual decisions must be made here and now. That stands as is. But.
[ folding arms a little uncomfortably. ]
I know there's a particular weight to this third decision. Choosing one life of quite a number isn't easy. But it's quite the process for us, we only have so many resources we can pull from. For this particular decision, I'll give you 'til tomorrow. [ by your ic deadline. ] We can work fast, but no faster than that.
no subject
[frowning.]
Is - I'm aware I can't tell anyone who I ultimately decide on. But. Can I reach out to those who know I have a role to ask their opinions on the matter?
no subject
You may gather feedback — in my work, I've learned that having colleagues to bounce ideas off can be integral to good work. Whether you like those ideas or not... they're different ways of thinking.
Now there is a small catch. Only some of the deceased are viable for this as a head's up. I'll give you a list for your reference. From these... you may choose.
[ and here is your list to pick from, eli, this excludes people who have specifically tapped out:
- eunhyuk
- viktor
- shouxue
- sidon
- margaret
- sora
- nero ]
I know... this list is by no means large, but. Save one life, and we may save them all soon enough.
no subject
...Why only these people?
[because of ooc necessity arthur stop asking questions challenge]
no subject
Like I said. They are the most viable for this attempt. We had to carefully curate... we only have so many resources, we only get to run this once right now, and we want that once to have the highest possibility of working.
Believe me, I don't like how narrow it is either.
no subject
[...]
And you're certain that there won't be an issue if we choose someone who was afflicted? Or would they come back still not themselves?
no subject
Yes, Arthur. We're as certain as we can be on this one. We wouldn't risk if it was too great a possibility.
Hence the particular list...
no subject
he nods, and after a moment:]
When will they come back? Shortly after the choice is made?
