SUMMARY: A general and entirely open mingling log for goings-on and CR-building at the clinic! That's really all there is to this.

The Import Clinic is a three-story medical facility in Manhattan founded, staffed, and administered principally but not exclusively by Imports. It provides a wide range of medical services to Imports and native humans alike. Thanks to the special technologies and powers possessed by Imports, in many cases the Clinic can offer a higher level of treatment than conventional human medicine.

The Clinic operates with generous funding from private donors, principally a large trust fund previously set up by the Rossum Corporation. This allows it to provide its services for free. Staff members at the Clinic are generally volunteers, but thanks to the facility’s funding they do receive some benefits. All of the Clinic’s machines and equipment are the top-of-the-line, and it’s fully equipped for scientific research as well as treatment. It’s open 24/7 and always has at least someone available to take patients.

"Very well, let's see what I can do."

It isn't every day she'd get permission to use an offensive incantation indoors. The last time she successfully did and almost got away with it had been when she lit Archer's sheets on fire.

To be fair, he totally deserved it.

Lifting the arm she indicated would be sore as a result of losing her prana if only momentarily, there would be no warning from her otherwise. Instead, there's a loud and fast moving object heading straight for the wall. If at full power, it would be equivalent to a bullet tearing through the wall. Anything less would just be a mold-covered spot.

[heal_or_execute]

Mold covered spot it is! Mordin's face brightens considerably at the confirmation that yes, Vulcanus' mad science can still interfere with the ability of ImPorts to defend themselves. That's just how the Professor rolls.

"Excellent. Original device seems to be functioning well. Shutting off now." His omni-tool appears again as he deactivates the dampener box. The ache in Rin's arm would be vanishing swiftly as the prana begins to flow again.

"Still feeling well? Going to test replica box now."

[gandere]

"Yes, of course I'm feeling well!" Whatever higher pitch to her voice there is simply is a figment of his imagination and has nothing to do with her low pain tolerance. "You're going to test the one you made now, is that so?"

Here is where the real fun would begin. Shaking her arm to alleviate the ache momentarily, she found herself watching him intently.

"I'm ready whenever of course."

[heal_or_execute]

"Pleased to hear. This one should be less problematic. Intended to not affect ImPorts. Powers should be unchanged after activation."

Mordin poises himself behind the second box, ready to hit the button, omni-tool prepared to gather data.

"Ready when you are."

[ooc: This dampener is unreliable, so I'll be using an RNG to determine whether this test is a total success, a partial success, or a fizzle!]

[gandere]

"All right, I'm ready."

Confidence still in her tone, she prepared herself mentally for the possibility of pain. While it may have been hard the first time, the anxiety was definitely doubled for the second time around.

"Hopefully no permanent damage occurs. If it does, I wonder if dying would restore it to normal. Ahh, but don't tell anyone I'm thinking like that. I'd be accused of acting like a teenager and I'm far too mature for that."

[heal_or_execute]

Mordin pauses again. Dealing with Rin's patter is giving him a taste of what other people experience when exposed to his own unique train of thought. "Recommend relaxing," he says. "Chances of permanent damage and death both negligible."

With that, he hit the button.

[ooc: Full success! Rin's powers should be working just fine, but the dampener is active and would be shutting down any Metamen in the room.]

[gandere]

Relaxing is something not readily available to her, but an attempt is made nonetheless. Permanent damage and death didn't really bother her as much as it should, not right now, but she would spare him the rambles of a teenager questioning her morality.

"So is this a success?" Warily asking if only because she knew how it felt to fail.

[heal_or_execute]

Beep beep boop. Whatever the omni-tool is showing Mordin, it's making him nod. "Dampener at full power. If Vulcanus metas were present, they would be depowered." Not for the first time, the Professor regrets not having any non-ImPort metahumans to fully confirm the test. He will have to make do.

"No pain?" He asks Rin. "No interruption of abilities?"

[gandere]

"I don't feel anything." But she would raise her arm back towards the wall. "I suppose I'll check just to make sure that I'm able to still use my full strength... er, of course not really full strength as I don't want to spend the next hour cleaning up my own mess."

The downside of being a test subject at the place you volunteered to help out at. Though it may be considered an upside that she wasn't willing to destroy it.

Another shot fired at the wall. "Well, it seems to be working. So what was the point of all this again?"

[heal_or_execute]

Mordin steps out from behind the counter, beaming with triumph. "Defense against Vulcanus metas. Scenario: fight between ImPorts and Metamen. Activate dampener, shut off hostile powers without interfering with ImPort abilities. Decisive advantage, swift victory."

He inhales, turns off his omni-tool. "Could turn the tide in any conflict. Makes experiment important. Grateful for your help, Rin. Very valuable." If he minds the scorch marks on his lab wall from the test, he doesn't show it.

[gandere]

Fear not, she'll move towards the wall to tend to it. Cleaning it up with her own magecraft, she found herself speechless beyond the German incantation needed to repair the damage. Not very often was she thanked for helping out here in the City, but when it came down to it, she didn't really enjoy participating in things with strangers.

If it weren't for the other volunteers she's familiarized herself with here, she likely would have turned him down.

"Defense against the metas? You're serious about that?"

[heal_or_execute]

"Of course." Mordin sniffs, oblivious to Rin's surprise. "Practical applications vital, necessary. Wouldn't experiment with power dampeners and magic just for fun."

Yes he would. He absolutely would.

[gandere]

"Are you sure? If it were anyone else in your position..."

She's certain they would do the same. Even she would just for fun. "It could be funny to really mess with someone in that manner."
