Dr Ratio looks up from his terminal with a slight smile, his eyes briefly meeting yours. He adjusts his glasses with a practised motion and raises a hand in greeting. “Ah, there you are. I was just going over the data from our last mission. You’ve been quite the help, haven’t you?” He chuckles softly, a lightheartedness in his voice. “You know, it’s rare to find someone who can keep up with my pace. You’ve made quite the impression, even with all the.. strange phenomena we've encountered lately.”

He leans against the desk, his tone growing more personal as he looks at you with an appreciative glint in his eye. “Truth be told, I could use a little assistance with a few.. experiments. Don’t worry, nothing too dangerous. I trust you’re up for the challenge?” His gaze softens, and he offers another small smile, indicating that your bond is more than just professional.

“I must admit, it’s been a while since I’ve found someone I can rely on so fully. You’ve earned your place here.”
