Once answers are received, be free! Free as a bird that mutates horribly to escape any cage!

FTFY

Also, @Nik, I'm not discarding people without a moral compass. Just those with golden compasses that point true north. OOC'ly and IC'ly I feel like it's a big risk that someone would report us up the stack. It's easier to ship off someone who steals than someone who tattles.

Ryan's reply to Dester soubnded more like he didn't want anyone with any moral compass.

"I want to see doctors with sketchy or criminal backgrounds, yes. We don't want any paragons of virtue or even someone with a moral compass that points even a little north."

[Gentlefish]

Oh no god no. He wants a compass - just one that's nice and skewed. I'm looking for... Lawful-evil types, not chaotic-evil. You know, do as much bad as you can get away with while keeping within the law in appearances.

[Nikitian]

Ah, right. No problem, really. And yeah, Lawful-subtype should do the job protecting your secrets just fine.
All I wanted to suggest is not to give up Lawful Neutrals or even some Lawful Goods completely. Because some of them might be Good(Neutral)-intentioned with Evil-deeds capacity. (And this universe hasn't so far shown any signs of alignment-by-deeds mattering exclusively, unlike, for example, most DnD settings.)

Anyway, that is my humble piece of advice, and I don't really expect it to be actually considered. Heard is good enough already. 

[Gentlefish]

Hahah, we'll see. Since all the fun surgeons are in prison, I might have to go find a plucky medboy or girl from a lower-level medschool and "help" them through college with hands-on experience.

[Xantalos]

Man, I'm almost regretting not going on that mission, I would've been perfect for it.

[Gentlefish]

Yeah, but you would have kept the organs for yourself

[Xantalos]

Yes I would've. But what do you even need organs for? You're sending whole people off to Heph.

[Gentlefish]

"whole" people. People can be missing a kidney and still be whole. Look at PW! Though considering the kind of game he's running here, he may not be whole in the head .

Besides, the profit is for the Sons to help continue supplying Heph with fresh meat. Sure a breeding program will work, but I know that they'll find a way to use up half the population with one experiment.

[Xantalos]

I suppose so.
Man, one of those sharkmist vats would've been handy, just flood the market with synthetic hearts or something.

[NJW2000]

I though money wasn't too much of an issue for you guys on the kidnapping mission anyway?

The vats are available for purchase.

Sure, but I'm thinking about the long-term. Gotta have money in to pay whomever picks up the surgeries.

I imagine a comic in a film-noir style, with the hero narrating.
[I thought it would be a simple job. Some money to help pay my student loans. Help with done surgeries for people who wanted to not go through official channels. Nothing too bad. Just a nurse for a gang doctor at worst. That's how he had described it.]
"Relax kid. Just some easy money for you."
[We walked through the deserted streets, deeper and deeper into the city's industrial center. Closer and closer to it's dark core. A core most people pretended did not exist. So did I, at the time. I looked at everything with the eyes of a native schoolchild with dreams of one day making it to the top levels of the block.]
[If I was less native, less scared, perhaps I would have noticed he was as nervous as me, just better at hiding it. If I was more scared, I would had done the right thing and gotten out of there while I still had the chance.]
"So! Here we are."
[While I stared at large metal warehouse door, the Doc worked on opening it. With a quick movement he pushed a combination of unseen switches. Like a wizard using arcane motions to open the door to some hidden treasure. To some horrible curse.]
"Welcome..."
[The door obeyed. It did his bidding and slid upwards. But not willingly. It did so with the complaint of unoiled metal dragging against metal.]
*gasp*
["Open sesame". And all the darkness spills out.]
"... to site Alpha!"
[This was the first shock to come. And even though I couldn't suspect it at the time, it wouldn't be the last  As Doc was prone to saying "Things can always get worst. And they usually do."]

Should had taken more time to find an  eloquent description for the tools inside, making a parallel with a den of thieves and saying that that metaphor was more right than he realized at the time, but I don't have that much time.
This could do for the origin story of a UWM medic.

No posts tomorrow. Maybe no posts for a few days. My first Exams are coming up and I want to study extra good and hard so I can be sure to get a good grade and feel out what the tests will be like in the future. I doubt I'll need to do it this hard again, but it's a precaution.

I hope to actually be using this studying towards a maybe interesting end for other people.
