The young captain regarded his earnest-but-cheeky researcher with a smirk. This conscientiousness was, of course, a quality vital to the scientific method, and a boon to his organization: higher ups loved seeing boxes ticked and paperwork ordered. But...
"We serve the research arm of a military institution." He let that fact sink in for a moment. "Our compatriots serving in the field outside this laboratory certainly don't consider whether or not their jobs are 'safe.' They consider whether they are prepared. What we do in here... serves to prepare them out there. And to do our jobs well, we are each likewise responsible for preparing ourselves. Now..."
He turned toward the ominously glowing and steaming assemblage with which he'd been about to engage, tugging on goggles before donning thick gloves, an extra precaution added to the invisible kidou that protected his person. "What I intended to say is that I've taken precautions to ensure that this room is well-shielded, as am I. And you, Megumi-san? Have you taken the necessary steps to prepare yourself to be present for this experiment?"
