Video. Medical power of attorney is important.

[Matters have calmed somewhat at the hospital now that the bone fiend infections have all run their unfortunate course.]

Certain issues recently apparent. Authority to make medical decisions often unclear.

[Yes, Shepards, he means the fact that no one is sure which of you gets to authorize autopsies on your crew actually]

Requesting clarification from all non-Verdana natives. Designation of authority in case of incapacitation.

[And because what is death.]

Also stance on post-mortem examination if circumstances unusual.

And here I thought I was a workaholic. It's good you're around most of the time if something happens while the rest of us are asleep.

Oh, yeah, a bunch. Humans outside the vault system are pretty much all pretty mutated, and that's not even counting supermutants and ghouls. ...The ones in the vaults are just inbred and annoying.

Extensive transformation. Yet not entirely lethal. Accelerated evolution. Whole new developments.

[So what he's saying is... mutations are awesome!]

[iwanttosettheworldonfire]

Oh, yeah. Risky, though. Most supermutants have, uh, anger management issues, though one of my best friends is one, and he's a pretty cool guy. Ghouls sometimes go feral, and it's kinda hard to be one anyway, since a lotta people will just take potshots at what they call zombies. A lot of them live down in Underworld just to avoid us smoothskins.

Enhanced aggression, fascinating. Would have considerable survival value in difficult situations. Less sure about advantages of zombie state.

Enjoy work. Makes difference. Hopefully positive.

Oh, zombie's just people being assholes about the way they end up looking. They're tough, they don't age, and radiation is actually healthy for them. They do have kind of a radroach-jerky thing going, but seems like it's probably worth it.

Well then. As long as you're aware.

[He seems to mean well, even if he is a little unnerving. But she's been called grim herself a few times. Or worse.]

I don't suppose you'd know the answer to this any better than I would. But...can I ask: has there ever been any occurrence so far of one of us who came from the pods dying and then staying dead? As in, permanent.
