"Don't worry about it being dangerous. I am counting on a degree of variability. Stable choices don't lead to the results I want." Joseph's hands were stuffed in his pockets as he lightly swayed forwards and backwards. "What are you planning on doing now?"

"Beats me. I've never been a plan sort of guy." He shrugged and swung his chest up, sitting upwards with one good motion. His fingers tapped his temple, and he slowly opened his eyes. No, his eye...
He blinked dorkishly and just swallowed the sight all around him. Huh, so that's what this world looked like? To be honest, it was kind of nice.
"Phew. It's like putting glasses on for the first time in years. Sure beats being stuck in one perspective." His lips were slightly curled in a calm zen sort of smile. He slowly turned his head to look at Joseph.
"I might go test the hardware a bit. See if it's stable enough. Oh, you added the see-through functionality, right? Not that I plan to peek through our master's skirts or anything."
He might have forgotten to ask that part. Oh well. Also, that part was totally a lie. Probably.

He had already gotten so much done! These elves were certainly helpful beings. Within his lab culture pits had been set up for as far as the eye could see, filled with new and developing material. Flakes of flesh, drops of blood, or other larger parts had already began developing. Half formed human-esque creatures were growing, fit for harvest soon enough! His limited base of material didn't matter too much in the moment. There was enough to explore given his existing tools, and reusing was an excellent strategy! In fact, he was doing it right now!
"I understand how much this hurts," he said almost gently, "but it's just not efficient to partially revive someone." The body before him was splayed open, as if someone had unwrapped the person. The skull was split, the flesh sheared from the torso to expose the organs, bones were cracked open for marrow extraction. With surprising deftness his scalpel cut samples. A chunk of lung, a slice of liver, a piece of the brain, each were delicately and perfectly removed. Then, as the specimen gave out, he gave it a slight touch and it shuddered to life. Blood flowed, severed pieces regrew, and the pinned thing began to shake. It couldn't really thrash with the cuts made to its spine. Once he had categorized, copied, and preserved every inch, he would finish and move on to the next one. Really, Joseph considered himself quite lucky to have gotten at least a few whole specimens from that raid.
"Only a little more now..."

A rodent scurried in the dark, a pitter patter bereft of communications. Joseph knew no living beast would be as such, not as it began a climb to a precarious perch upon his shoulder. It was a small thing, malnourished and decayed but also seemingly... dried out? It was like some of the other lifeless things he had witnessed behind the half-erected walls of the fortress of Xibalba. A malevolent light shone in the rodent's eyes as it took in the sight of Joseph's specimen.

The twisting mass that had once been a human... mage of some sort? He hadn't really identified exactly how its power worked, but he was so curious to know. The subject was capable of interfacing and using magical artifacts on instinct, a useful skill as they dived through the libraries archives. He reached over with a bloody hand to pat the rat's head as it perched on his shoulder.
"You're pretty cute. Did you just want to see me work?"
