if someone was dying and they asked you to kill them, would you do it?

[What a coincidence that this would be asked on the very same day when fathers are appearing to everyone in the City. Very sneaky, McCoy.]

If I was a doctor and I knew all that I could know of the situation...

[mintjulep]

[ He is a ninja, surprise! ]

you would?

[candothat]

[He's a doctor, not a ninja. -_-]

Maybe I would not be able, but I would think it would be right.

[mintjulep]

to do what they asked, you mean?

[candothat]

Yes, that.

[mintjulep]

guess the issue is more living with it afterward

[candothat]

That is true any time a life is taken.

But in this scenario, is the patient's state of mind more important, or is the doctor's?

[mintjulep]

it's always the patient first.

[candothat]

Then doing as the patient asks is the best.

Is your father here today?

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[mintjulep]

[ That question makes him tense. ]

yeah, he's here. yours?

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[candothat]

He is related to your question?

[Thin ice! Let's stomp on it! It's all out of concern, really.]

Yes, Andrei Chekov is here, and he would like to interrogate everyone that I speak with. The City is fortunate that our fathers appear only to us and that no one else can hear them.

[mintjulep]

don't I know it

[ GUESS WHO'S AVOIDING YOUR QUESTION AGAIN CHEKOV ]

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[candothat]

[GUESS WHO'S GOING TO KEEP POKING UNTIL YOU ANSWER, MCCOY.]

Then your father is here? Maybe he will answer your question.

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[mintjulep]

he's answered.

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[candothat]

What did he say?

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[mintjulep]

[ to stop feeling guilty, that it was what he wanted ]

to listen to the patient, as long as they're in their right mind

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[candothat]

Good, yes.

[Since the indirect approach isn't working--]

He was in his right mind?

[Filtered // Unhackable]

[mintjulep]

[ He really doesn't want to answer this. But not answering isn't going to help, either.

In the end, he just goes with the truth. ]

lots of pain. but yeah, he was. kept asking but I thought I could find the cure if I had more time. they found it a little while after I gave in.

the exact circumstances aren't in my file and I'd prefer that it stayed quiet.

[candothat]

Honoring your father's request is not the same as giving in.

I will not ask again, sir.
