[Unamused. Utterly unamused. The timing of whatever the hell interruption this was could not have been any worse. God knows how those idiots were handling themselves without Light's leadership. But a quick glance at his watch is all that Light needs in order to guess that whatever happened, it's already much too late to salvage that retrieval

[ There's a tap on the microphone to check it's working, before a friendly voice speaks up. ]

Ah, hello? It's nice to meet you, Light. I too received that message from the President, but I'm afraid I've never heard of Kernos Co.

Before I got here, I had just finished up a school-wide physical exam as the school doctor.

[ But alas, he can't be forthcoming with the third question's answer. Light is welcome to pick up the nervous quality to his voice as he answers, obviously lying-- but he won't relent. He's just a terrible liar. ]

I'm afraid I'm just a simple school doctor, with general nursing certification. I can protect myself with Aikido, but other than that...

audio; apologies for the late, orz

[Light brightens up considerably. A nursing certification is far from the helminthologist he had been hoping for certainly, but arguably, this is more useful. As for the nervous tone of his voice, Light notes it but attributes it to their present circumstances rather than anything insidious.]

Likewise a pleasure. I'm relieved to know that there is a medical expert amongst us. May I have a name?

audio; and likewise! :'>

[ If only he knew how many people expected totally different things from him in the death note cast, he'd probably go crawl in a hole and die somewhere of shame. :'( ]

I do hope I can help everyone as much as my abilities allow. My name is Hadesu Itsuhito.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, Dr. Hadesu, you are a general practitioner of medicine, rather than a specialist. I suppose this is a bit of a stretch would you be able to carry out any meaningful research on the creatures living here?

[Pause.]

If not, I'd like to know if it's possible to share information on the sorts of wounds these creatures can inflict. Obviously, I don't need to know which patient acquired which injury, but having a general idea of the damage they can cause and sharing that knowledge with the network at large should in theory have a preventative effect.

[ There's a bit of a pause on his end, with a furrow of his brows. OUCH, LIGHT. ]

I'm afraid not, no. But it seems there are others on the island who are skilled in that line of work.

Though upon inspecting the parasites themselves and the wounds, it seems they burrow in between the dermis and the muscle, chewing through but not ingesting anything. They cause no further damage, although they are large and painful. I can't say anything definitive, but it's likely they just went for warmth. They all seemed to travel toward central body mass.
