Heya! Just trying this account out:) it’s not technically art just a brain dump but there will be art, poetry, art journaling, junk journaling, scrapbooking, mental health stuff and whatever else comes to mind. Everything I post is mine unless stated otherwise.

Pulsed Field Ablation: The Next Big Thing In Medical Device Technology

Advancements in medical device technology are helping doctors treat conditions in less invasive ways. One such innovation is pulsed field ablation (PFA), a new method for treating cardiac arrhythmias without the need for open-heart surgery. This cutting-edge technique uses pulsed electric fields to safely create precise non-thermal lesions in the heart muscle.

How Does PFA Work?

Pulsed Field Ablation works by delivering high-intensity electric pulses to targeted cardiac tissue through electrodes. These nanosecond pulses are able to penetrate cell membranes without causing irreversible electroporation, thereby ablating the tissue in a non-thermal manner. The electric fields disrupt cell membranes only in the immediate vicinity of the electrodes, allowing for creation of very precise and controlled lesions without affecting surrounding healthy tissues.

  This is a major advantage over older ablation techniques that rely on temperatures to ablate. With PFA, there is no thermal energy transfer so the risk of collateral damage is minimized. Researchers have demonstrated in animal studies that PFA can accurately target and treat arrhythmias with precise ablation lesions and no perforation of cardiac chambers.

Potential For Treating Complex Arrhythmias

Pulsed field ablation shows great potential for treating complex arrhythmias that have been difficult to manage using existing techniques. Its ability to create tailored, millimeter-sized lesions could help treat conditions like atrial fibrillation originating from multiple focal points in the heart muscle. Precisely targeting these areas is challenging with temperature-based radiofrequency ablation. 

PFA may also help defeat arrhythmias located near arteries, veins or conducting tissues where thermal energy risks unintended coagulation or vessel damage. The elimination of thermal effects makes it safer for treating arrhythmias very close to the esophagus as well. Its non-thermal mechanism could expand treatment eligibility for elderly patients or those with comorbidities precluding the heat effects of older ablation technologies.

Clinical Trial Results Are Promising 

Several medical technology companies are developing PFA systems and have initiated early human trials. Results so far have been very encouraging. In a 30-patient study of PFA for atrial fibrillation, symptoms were successfully eliminated in over 90% of participants with no serious adverse events. Follow-up showed the majority remained arrhythmia-free over a year later.

Another trial on 25 patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation after heart attack also demonstrated strong efficacy and safety. Over 80% of participants saw complete resolution of their arrhythmia episodes post-ablation. Key investigators noted the consistent, homogenous lesions achieved with PFA were larger than anticipated and resulted in fewer treatment touches compared to standard radiofrequency ablation.

Regulatory Approval And Commercialization Plans

Given these positive results, manufacturers are working to seek regulatory clearances from the FDA and CE Mark approval in Europe over the next 1-2 years to commercially launch PFA systems. With approval, PFA could start replacing radiofrequency as the primary approach for most catheter ablations by 2025 according to analysts. Billing codes are also being established to ensure insurance coverage.

This innovation could be highly transformative for the multi-billion dollar cardiac ablation device  if large clinical trials confirm its advantages over legacy technologies. Hospitals stand to benefit from shorter procedure times, reduced complication risks and ability to treat more complex cases. For patients, PFA promises less invasive and more effective treatment of cardiac arrhythmias without the side effects of temperature-based ablation. Its arrival could help address the growing epidemic of atrial fibrillation worldwide.

Pulsed field ablation is an exciting new method for cardiac ablation that overcomes many limitations of existing temperature-based techniques. Early human data validates its superior safety profile and ability to precisely target arrhythmias. Regulatory clearances in the next two years should enable the commercial launch of PFA systems. This technology could revolutionize the field of electrophysiology and meet a major unmet need in arrhythmia care. Pending larger clinical outcomes, PFA appears well poised to become the new gold standard for catheter ablation procedures.

I finally got the big upgrades so so happy with this next will be a 3060 ti or a 4060 ti gpu woop woop!!

[miiboo]

fair warning: i have a rat brain and dc stands for disregard canon <3

as far as the public knows, there are four robins: family robin, crime alley robin, the female robin, and the assassin robin. only steph, bruce, and dick know about the forgotten robin, tim drake.

tim drake was the robin before steph, the one who pulled bruce out of his depressive pit and saving criminals a trip to the icu, but to steph, he is her best friend and the one she confided in. he found her as spoiler and convinced babs to take her under her wing. he helped her get the title of batgirl. her best friend.

until the joker kidnapped tim and he went missing. everyone scrambled to find him, but during those weeks, steph and bruce argued for hours on end.

one night, via thermal imaging, babs found the jokers dead body in the arkham ruins that they find tim, or what's left of him anyways. steph and bruce go together to check it out and are immediately horrified to see what they find: shock therapy equipment and plenty of serums. hair dye, bleach, and surgical tools are haphazardly discarded on a table near by. a gun was discarded several feet away from the jokers dead body, a bullet wound between his eyebrows.

steph tries to hold herself together as bruce rummages around the ruins to find tim, but eventually breaks when she sees remnants of the robin costume neatly folded on a table with restraints and the robin symbol on top. a post-it note was next to it.

to batgirl, i'm sorry. i am alive. joker junior --tim

she holds the costume close when she cries.

eventually, she takes up the robin mantel and using the journals tim left in drake manor, creates her own costume with alfred. she carefully stitched tim's robin symbol on the left side of her chest, over her heart.

the relationship between her and bruce is strained, but he falls into that depression pit once more, and using tim's methods, she dragged him out of it. they don't talk about tim, dick and babs keep quiet about it too.

five years later, she took up the spoiler mask again, and in charge of a series of murders involving electricity. after the fifth body is found in the arkham ruins and the signature "jj'", realization dawns on the four. everyone else is confused, and soon, steph and bruce are harshly exchanging words.

one night, tim makes contact, and the family begins to argue about what needs to happen. steph told damian she was borrowing robin and changed into the old uniform.

"we can't just send you out there steph," dick argued.

"you can and you will. i was robin when we first encountered junior," a half-lie. "i know him better than any of you, and bruce will just set him off."

"steph," bruce warned.

"you're not changing my mind bruce. i'm going to see hi m whether you like it or not."

"steph."

"no. you let him slip through the cracks last time, so it's my turn now. this isn't about you. this is about me. about jason. about babs. about robin." bruce's eyebrow twitched, his way of flinching. no other words are said when she uses the robin bike to zoom into the streets of gotham and to the meet up spot.

she sees tim on the rooftop with his hair grown out and slightly dyed blue. there were scars on his mouth line and he wore a tshirt with jeans. the reunion was bittersweet, a ton of crying and steph slapping him. she was just happy that he was safe ((after their crying sess, tim realizes she was wearing his design, and began crying again)).

Everybody has heard...

...the old question about where the 'mech ends and the pilot begins, or the other way around, depending on just how angsty one of the outfit is feeling in the barracks. Sometimes, though- and if you ask me, that sometimes is getting more often -there are cases where you really can't tell.

Radars and thermals talk to rangefinders and profile scanners. Those talk to firing assist and combat systems. Those talk to automatic loaders, compensation drivers, physics calibrators. Everything does its job, everything works in concert.

And yet, there is a pilot. It's not automated, it's not disorderly. Somewhere in there- in the gestalt of systems commanding systems, automatic loaders readying automatic guns sighted by automatic aiming routines -an intelligence is present. Something that drives the thing, even while the tactical map systems and the satellite scan systems tell it where to march or jet and how.

What goes on inside that cockpit- uncertain. The pilots, when separated from their, perhaps, "greater selves", can't actually describe it to you. Some people jacked their neuro rigs in to try and understand it; spent a year in therapy to get over the experience. It's not quite a unified thing, like a soldier on the march; it's not quite separate, like a tank and a crew; and yet, it's still not exactly two entities bound together like 'mech and pilot. It's a unison, maybe, a network. Some kind of elegant entanglement.

Something and nothing. A vanishing point. When that machine comes online, every distinction turns bleary and faint. If you had to find exactly where their "mind" is...you couldn't.

As a fun way of competition for the spooky season, SOLDIER and the Turks are both ghost hunting in an attempt to see who can actually capture a real ghost or cryptid on camera as proof of which of the departments is the most bravest. Plot twist that it's mostly the two teams tricking the other with fake props and illusions in an attempt to scare the others into quitting.

*Sephiroth and Zack approach Angeal and Genesis with a camera*

Zack: Check out what we got for the "who can actually capture a real ghost on camera" competition with the Turks!

Angeal: Notice how you people never have a "who can actually finish they're work on time" competition.

Zack:

Angeal: This is why Tseng is in nature therapy.

Zack: Anyway! We got this thermal camera that's a fool-proof way of capturing an entity on camera and proving that ghosts are real.

Sephiroth: A thermal camera detects the heat emitted by objects and converts it into a visual representation, making it an efficient tool for paranormal investigation.

Genesis: Really? You? I thought you were too pragmatic to believe in ghosts.

Sephiroth: Actually, I'm a firm believer in the paranormal. Ever since I jumped through that portal as a young teenager to retrieve Glenn and ended up at a pumpkin festival in the town of Nibelheim, where we had to fight pumpkin monsters and I was deprived of pumpkin soup, creating a void within me which has never properly healed.

Genesis, ignoring him: Anyway, when are we going to—

Zack: You're not going to address what he just said??

Genesis: Thank you, but I choose innner peace.

Sephiroth:

Angeal: Ok, boot the camera up and let's get this over with.

*Zack turns the lights off, flicks the camera on and pans it around the room*

Zack: OH MY GOD. I SEE THREE GHOSTS AND ONE OF THEM HAS ANGEAL'S FACE.

Angeal: YOU'RE POINTING IT AT US.

Zack: Oh.

*Zack points the camera somewhere else*

Zack: OH MY GOD. THERE'S A GHOST WIELDING AN AXE.

Genesis: Preposterous! Let me see!

*They all look into the camera and sure enough, there's an outline of a figure holding an axe at the end of the hallway*

Angeal: WHAT THE FUCK

Genesis: I'm unperturbed and know exactly what to do.

Zack: REALLY?

Genesis: Yes.

*Genesis grabs Sephiroth and shields himself with his body*

Genesis: TAKE HIM INSTEAD. YOU CAN ADOPT HIM BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE PARENTS.

Sephiroth: Should I be concerned when that outcome sounds appealing to me?

Angeal: GUYS! THIS IS BAD! THERE'S AN AXE MURDERING ENTITY RIGHT THERE!

Zack: WHAT DO WE DO?

Sephiroth: THIS IS WORSE THAN THE TIME I JUMPED THROUGH THAT PORTAL AS A YOUNG TEENAGER TO RETRIEVE GLENN AND ENDED UP AT A PUMPKIN FESTIVAL IN THE TOWN OF NIBELHEIM, WHERE WE HAD TO FIGHT PUMPKIN MONSTERS AND I WAS DEPRIVED OF—

Genesis: WHEN WILL YOU LET IT GO?

Sephiroth: NEVER.

*The shadow figure raises it's axe, Zack, Genesis and Angeal all scream and run away*

Sephiroth: …

*Sephiroth turns on the light. Cloud is standing there, wielding a fake axe*

Sephiroth: …

Cloud: Reno paid me to stand here.

(MEANWHILE)

Reno: Sir! We got video evidence of a paranormal entity just like you asked, but we're warning you, it's intense.

Cissnei: Seriously, it's very disturbing.

Rude: We advise you not to watch it.

Rufus: Just show it to me.

*They show him a video of Zack with a sheet draped over his head*

Rufus: That is quite literally Zack fair with a sheet over his head. There's nothing scary nor paranormal about this, and I can't believe you wasted my time.

*Sephiroth walks by on screen with Jenova's shadow following him*

Rufus: SHIT

Art Therapist!Reader x Task Force 141

Summary: Today we’ll get to look at the first client, John Price.

Notes: I should comment that I’m not sure if I want this to go in a platonic route or a romantic way so we’ll see from here. Might make the readers decide. <3

I hope i capture all of the boys good, because I’m still fairly new writing for the cod men.. sorry if they’re very ooc </3

Oh boy.. writing this took a minute and I’m so not impressed with this one but trust.. this will get better :)

Do reblog, like, and comment to lmk what you think about this!

Thank you, sweets! 🎀

Part One. Client One: John Price.

The clack of your heels were heard through the halls as you smiled brightly, excited to get to know one of your new clients.

You had two sheets on a clipboard in your arms, a notepad in the other and a tote bag in your left arm.

You had some things you’d like to discuss with him, comforts, favorite snacks and tea. These are important you know! You always got the jitters when you had a new client.

Walking into your small office you sat your bag down on the side of your chair, and placed the clipboard and notepad neatly on your desk.

A sigh left your mouth and you rolled your neck around, trying to crack it and find relief.

“Mm.. ok, where to start..?” You mumbled to yourself as you looked at your bag and nodded.

Starting to unload everything you put your thermal cup filled with peppermint tea on your desk, a sketchbook, coloring book, and coloring pencils neatly into a pile.

Next you pressed the button on your work phone to hear all of your new voice mails and put lights on, in the dimly lit room.

You had two lamps that brightened the room with a nice yellow hue and a flower lamp on your desk that shined a pink light.

“Ms. Kate left a voice message, it says, ‘Good morning, you said 9:30 but we’ll be there a bit earlier than that. He’s adamant about being early to things. John is a very— He’s a man that likes to stay on the move you know? Keep that in mind. He likes his hands full. Anyways, see you around 9:20– 25. Thank you, Again.’ —”

You laughed at her comment, knowing well you like to have your hands full too and can’t stay doing nothing for too long.

The time on your clock stated 9:15, so they’d be here soon. There wasn’t much else you needed to set up in your cozy office but you decided to fluff out the pillows on the couch across from your desk and prep your notes.

Finally, after you killed some time drawing in your sketchbook you heard a knock on your door. There was quiet chatter.

“Come in please!” You called out, closing your sketchbook and looking up towards the door.

In walked in who you assumed was Kate Laswell and behind her was a handsome gruff looking man. He was very well built, a nice beard and mustache and he looked around the same age as the woman. He also had a nice ass but you shook your head away from those thoughts.

Standing up your walked around your desk and grinned widely, you stated your name and then, “It’s a pleasure to meet the both of you. I’m very excited for todays session if you couldn’t tell..”

“Nothing wrong with that. I’m hoping this goes smoothly.” The man, who you’re sure is John, smiles at you and nods approvingly.

“Yes, you won’t give her a hard time right?” Kate jokes and he shakes his head and raises his eyebrows.

“She should be worried about Soap. That man is a twat sometimes.” You chuckled along with him and waved your hand dismissing that.

You pointed to the couch and asked them to have a seat so you could talk to them about basics first and grabbed your notepad and a pen, sitting in your chair.

“Before we start, I want to re-introduce myself. My name is y/n, and I’ve been doing art therapy for three years. I have a degree in arts and a degree in counseling/therapy.” You waved your hands around as you talked.

Kate and John nodded at your words as you spoke and they seemed pretty impressed with what you said.

“Kate Laswell, John Price. It’s nice to meet someone enthusiastic like you.”

You smiled at the comment and then let the two settle in on the couch. Tapping your fingers in your desk you spoke again.

“Ok so, I’m sure you may have questions that you wanted to ask personally! Some worries and concerns?” You tilted your head to the side and smiled, “Or would you like me to give you a brief explanation on what I strive to achieve with art therapy?”

“It’s be nice if you explained it better.. I feel like this is too childish for a man like me.” John commented.

“Mhm, I understand what you mean. A lot of people believe that but it’s all about what works for YOU. Art is a form of expression that anyone can use. Why not incorporate that into helping others and finding yourself too, Hm?” You aided.

It was a bit silent in the room after what you said. John nodded his head, his arms crossed over his chest and pursed his lips, turning to face Kate.

“I like you. Hopefully the boys will too. God knows we need this type of energy with the line of work we’re involved in.” Kate sighs, “I’ll take my leave, and be back around.. 10:30?”

“Yes! 10:30 or you can come around 10:25. Either works for me, If it works for you,” You got up and extended your hand, “Thank you, by the way. I live my life as optimistic as possible and like to bring that into the workplace.”

Kate nods and shakes your hand. Her hold is firm and strong, she’s a kind woman.

“John, play nice.” She said, facing the older man, before leaving and giving you a smile.

After she left you looked at Price and clapped your hands together.

“Well, now I have some personal questions for you. These are about boundaries but I hope you do know we might have to cross them once in a while ok?” You sat on top of your desk this time moving your notepad and pen onto your lap.

John folded his hands on his lap and looked at you in your eyes. It was silent for a moment yet again, though you didn’t mind. If he needed time to formulate his words you’d give him all the time in the world.

He opened his mouth then closed it, with a huff he said, “There’s not many boundaries I have, I’m sure you’re supposed to start slow when doing these sessions, yea?” you nodded, “So I believe you won’t be asking too much about me yet, so when the time comes.. I’ll be somewhat of an open book.”

He smiled at you slightly, tight lipped and tapped his fingers against his knuckles.

You took a breath in, then let it out. Humming at his words you write down on your note pad:

‘Price. Little to no boundaries at all. Open book maybe by the third sesh.’

His eyes watch your fingers as you’re writing, he’s a bit tense, not really knowing what to do. He can already imagine Simon being worse than he is right now.

“Ok so! I do have a question that Ms.Kate didn’t really specify, and I forgot to ask. Is there a problem that’s bugging any of you? Or is this just to maintain a good mind set— or close to an ok mind set?” You put your hands out, trying to elaborate in a more understanding way, “For example, keeping your anger in check, having an outlet to let out heavy emotional burdens.. those types of things?”

John ran his fingers through his beard and tapped his foot on the ground, thinking on what you said. He didn’t exactly have any thing bugging him, he’s been working in the military for well around 18+ years and that’ll get you used to the atrocities you see.

“I’m pretty sure Kate had the latter in mind when doing these sessions. I know I don’t have much bugging me, I’m about ready to retire sometimes,” he joked with a laugh, “It’d be nice to have an outlet from what we do every now and then.”

You laughed with him and nodded your head. His words resonated well with you. Anyone knew that working in the military/army would drain you. Could leave you mentally unwell after years.

So you strived to understand and learn each and every one of these men. To hopefully be able to aid them in different, helpful ways.

“Well, im glad you think so! Now, I actually have something I want you to do today. It’s very simple.”

Pulling out a coloring book and some color pencils, you held them out in front of you, “So, we won’t be doing anything too big— yet! I have a coloring book here that goes based off of mood. It’s also a journal. I want you to write in this everyday, starting today, ok?”

John raised his brows at you and you raised yours back. He scratched his beard and looked down at the coloring book with different mood faces on it. He took a copy of one book and a pack of coloring pencils you offered after.

You opened up the book to the first page and pointed to the happy face. Underneath the face were lines and a quote that asks you why you were feeling the emotion you were feeling.

“Currently I’m feeling happy, I’ll take a yellow pencil and color that face in.” You explained simply, “I’m feeling this way because I’ve had my favorite tea, my cat cuddled with me this morning, and I’m looking forward to my new clients.”

Once you finished you turned the book around and showed John. “That’s all you have to do. Nothing too long, but if you prefer to do that I don’t mind. Just don’t give me a word or two. I want one to three sentences.”

You watched as he began to do what you did. He colored in the neutral face with a brown colored pencil and underneath he wrote two sentences explaining why he felt that way.

For the rest of your session you introduced yourself more and had him give you tid bits about his life and line of work. In your mind you wanted to have this space be as personal but comfortable as possible.

You talked a bit about your life as well, giving him insight into your day to day life and how your other sessions go sometimes without disclosing private information about your other clients.

Soon enough the time came to when he had to leave and your session ended.

As Kate waited by the door, you put your hand out towards John, “I hope to see that book filled out. If anything is bothering you after today, write it down and we can go over it, yea?” He nodded his head shaking your hand, and let out a gruff ‘yes’.

He left with that and you were alone in your office thinking over this mornings events. It was slow paced and simple. You didn’t like unpacking a lot of information on the first day. Over time they’d get more comfortable and the art part of this would help them express how they felt without speaking. Actions are always far bigger than words.

You cracked your knuckles and went back to your chair, looking through your schedule planner, tomorrow you’d have a man by the name of Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley.

Huh, what a name.

Android!Killer notes and lore

Post will probably be updated over time as I think of more things 💙

Official name: Killer 2.0. Bounty posters call him Metal Man Killer. Marines considered him a new pirate, so he had to start his bounty from scratch, and as such is no longer considered a Supernova

Built by Kid to deal with his grief after Killer dies. Android contains his brain, retrieved from his original body after it took too much damage to support life

If you see posts with him interacting with original Killer its cos its just a fun lighthearted alternate timeline where Kid just built him as a replacement just in case. Don't ask me how he gave it Killer's personality, those posts are just for the giggles

Uses his original mask (repaired and restored) as headpiece. Lights have been installed in the holes to fill the gaps and hide the underlying electronics and brain

Helmet contains lenses for vision. Equiped with higher level vision such as nightvision, thermal imagining and xray

Aerial on side of helmet allows for better hearing as well as allowing others to communicate with him directly via den-den

Just as strong and agile as he was in his human body, though it did take a lot of physical rehab to get used to the mechanical body

Metal sections made from high quality metals making him essentially bullet proof

Basically, he's a purpose built super soldier

Water resistant, but not submerge safe. Kid is a skilled engineer, but hes no Vegapunk. Killer 2.0 can not submerge his chest section, or his systems will fail to work, and much like a devil fruit user he would sink like a stone. He can be pulled out and repaired, his brain is well protected, but he can't save himself

Chest, abdomen and buttocks are squishy, imagine the texture/firmness of those silicone chicken fillets you use to make your tits look bigger

Has a cock that's essentially a dildo that can emerge from a slit in the rubber between his legs, and yes it can vibrate

He can feel touch on most of his body, though mostly it just feels like pressure, he's basically a touch lamp, but Kid had Franky help him wire some parts to feel more, such as his hands and dick, allowing for pleasure, though he doesn't really have the ability to 'finish'. He can recieve an artificial boost of hormones to simulate pleasure and satisfaction but thats as close as it gets

Why did Kid give him a dick? Because he's a good friend, that's why totally no other reason

No mouth or asshole though, bit of an oversight on Kid's part tbh

Doesn't actually plug his hair in to sleep, those cables are entirely just scrap for show, hastily spraypainted to replicate Killer's hair. He does get plugged in to charge, but his cable comes out of the panel on of of his hands (both hands have charging cables for convenience so he can use whichever side is easier)

Lights flash when he's on charge because Kid stole the wiring and coding from some random electronic. He regrets it every fucking night.

Spends a lot of time oiling and polishing his hair cables and touching up the paint, it's sort of a force of habit but mostly it makes him feel more normal. Ties his hair up with zipties sometimes.

Serious mental health issues. I mean come on, the dude went through all the Wano bullshit, literally fucking died, and now he's not even human. Please someone get him some therapy. Sometimes uses his old lipstick to draw a big smile on his mask when he's having a mental breakdown.

Still loves to cook, but now he has to have a taste tester with him because he has no capacity to eat or taste

Kid obsessively does maintenance on him every single day because he can't bear to lose him again

Kid also needs therapy. This whole android situation is a cry for help tbh

Kid did his best to replicate Killer's voice, but there's something electronic and uncanny about it

[heretyc]

i’ll take any Night Hunter head canons ya got in stock, sfw or otherwise. please and thank you.

*offers credit card*

Payment accepted 💳✅

I definitely feel like Night Hunter would enjoy being called Drac or Vlad, especially Vlad. He'd love Vlad the Impaler due to the gory tales of him. So I guess we can call him Vlad for short lol

Vlad's senses are heightened so have fun playing hide and seek with him unless you're in a tightly muffled space or you know how to hide properly [like slow your breathing and such]. He gets extremely cocky.

If it weren't for the blue electric sparks of his car battery, you wouldn't even see him. You can, however, hear him, because he doesn't shut up.

The light is his enemy. Literally. Sunlight, lights, anywhere that has light, he'll need help. He'll hiss. Give him a cape and he's basically a vampire.

He SWEARS he sees Nosferatu and will keep you away from light switches. Due to the experiments done on him, he sees Nosferatu as an internal fear of the bastard turning on the light. Nosferatuuuuu!

If you're not that sneaky of a person, he'll teach you how to sneak around and stay quiet. In this place, you either be quiet or you die. He's not exactly lying...some grunts have the ears of bats or some shit.

He usually calls reagents "glow worms" to be a dick, but with you it's moreso a wholesome pet name.

He brings you things that you likely don't see in the dark, like medical supplies or even film reels; sometimes you don't even need to use your night vision equipment when he's right there. He'll drag you through the dark if nobody's around. However sometimes there are some places he can't access, so he'll bring you batteries and wish you luck.

He, surprisingly, knows his way around the lockpicks. Just ask and he'll break them open. EXTREMELY useful when you're desperate or need to access a locked room.

If you have an X-Ray rig, he'll ask to borrow it...no, he's not using it to look through your clothes, haha! [Yes he is.]

He's under the impression that he can't take off his goggles, as he thinks they're somehow welded to his flesh. After careful examination, they're actually...really shitty goggles, and you help him take them off. He screamed. And put them back on. [shrug]

He gets...VERY offended when trials end and you're called back to the shuttle. He WILL block the entrance and demand affection before you leave. [He swears to break in, but...have fun with that, Vlad.]

The Pleasure the Prosecutor trial is the best with him because he'll help you with the sadistic mannequins. The process fucks up because of a switch? He'll flip the switch for you. Seeing as every area is PITCH BLACK, he is a lifesaver.

He hates Coyle. So badly. Coyle makes his equipment fuck up, and his baton is EXTREMELY bright with night vision goggles. He avoids Coyle like the PLAGUE.

He's 100% best buds with Pusher. I can see it now.

His night goggles actually have thermal vision, so he can sense if you've got a fever before you even know it. Murkoff sends you into therapies even if you're sick, are you shocked?

He compliments your goggles every time you change them. He wonders why you have so many of them, though.

NSFW: He's the type to buy goggles for his penis. Not kidding.

NSFW: His accent makes it EXTREMELY easy for him to arouse you with his words alone.
