Revision as of 20:56, 14 June 2023 by Kairi(talk | contribs)(→Transcript: Added text indicating when Edega leaves the screen, to stay in style with how there's text indicating when Edega enters. Also added text indicating when Ian's text gets cut off in the level.)
In a cutscene after Intimate, Paige and Ian explain the Rhythm Doctor Program to the player, but are first interrupted by a cocksure Dr Edega, and then
by an emergency patient: the Insomniac. The player treats the Insomniac despite glitches and disruptions caused by the Connectifia Abortus virus. After a successful
treatment, the player moves on to the next ward.

So. We haven't explained the whole "musical doctoring" process yet.
We kinda pulled you straight into the deep end. Sorry about that.
Thankfully, you’re a quick learner.
Ian, do you think you could explain the program? It's more...your thing.
R-right! The Rhythm Doctor program is a new, experimental healthcare initiative.
It's a music-based cardiological treatment.
By listening to the patient's heartbeat and synchronising with it, we can calm the irregularities.
It's quick, and can save a lot of lives.
Plus: interns can perform the treatment remotely, there's shorter waiting times, and less work piled on the staff.
It's a win-win situation.
That's the idea, at least. As long as all goes well, we can-

...
Ian, did you finish setting up that remote connection?
Y-yes, sir, as you can see, our new intern is here and-
Very good.
But let's not be overconfident. There's still a lot that both of you should be getting to.
The shift has only just started. Ensure that every patient is personally seen to.
[Edega starts walking away]
I imagine I'm not interrupting some sort of "break."
Not at all, we were just-
Submit a report about the program by the end of the day.
...
Don't mind him, that’s our...well, don't worry about it.
We should show you around so you can meet the rest of the patients.
You should be able to shift your video display around the hospital, to...
H-hold on. Something's happening.
One of our patients needs help, immediately. That can't be good.
[1-X unlocks]
You're up, intern.
Remember, just stay calm and keep counting to seven.
No matter what happens!
[Interlude 1]
It looks like something's messing with your connection.
Could it be...
...
[Interlude 2]
Yup. It was the infection.
Classic case of the wifi-signal-jamming virus.
Connectifia abortus.
It's about to come back now, and stronger.
The most important thing

Phew. Great work!
His heartbeat got really erratic, but it looks like you had it under control.
Ian, what was all that? Is that supposed to happen?
N-no. That strange virus was disrupting the intern's signal.
I-it was even messing with the cardiogram. It should be fixed now, but I'll look into it.
Just a s-small hiccup in the process. Hopefully it doesn't persist.
Let's move on, for now.
Got it.
Looks like we're done with this set of patients!
Let's move on to the next ward.
Either I'm going crazy, or there are TWO sword-swinging dudes walking around.
I don't get paid enough for this...

Trivia
If the low health beeps are activated before the first intermission with Ian, morse code will play during said intermission. The morse code spells out "MELON."
If the virus health bar is not depleted before the song ends, it will loop for a few more bars, fading into static, and a short segment from Samurai Techno can be heard as well.
