Transcript

	Hi! Before we start, Ian wanted to share something.
	Hey, intern. Remember that time you treated that Miner on the train? It got me thinking.
	He was in a lot of pain, but there wasn't much we could do before you finished treatment.
	I decided to work on a way we could use rhythm defibrilation as a pain reliever.
	And...it works!
	Now you'll be able to administer the pain reliever to any patients who are experiencing muscle inflammation, nerve damage, etc.
	It can sort of "freeze" the pain receptors, which should soothe them.
	It has a new cue, so listen closely, I'll show you how it's done.
	That's the cue.
	And that's the hit.
	Again, the cue.
	And hit.
	Got that? Now I'll do it faster.
	As you probably noticed, there's a slight delay when the beat freezes.
	It's only frozen for a short moment, so pay attention and hit it right after it thaws!
	Now you try!
	[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
	The delay of the beat can change.
	Listen to the cue rhythm when the patient freezes! It's the exact same length as the beat's delay.
	It'll make more sense when you hear it.
	Good luck!
	[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
	I call them freeze beats. While we're working on Lucky's heart, we can use this to ease the muscle-
[Lucky]	Oh that's perfect! I shoulda thought of that!
[Lucky]	Whenever I have a nasty sprain, I've always just put some ice on it.
[Lucky]	There's nothin' that a little hot-and-cold treatment can't fix.
	Wait. You need to understand. A pain reliever is only a temporary relief-
[Lucky]	Alright, let's hustle! Ice me up, doc. I'm gonna go practice hitting a few.

[Level start]

[Lucky]

Finally, some fresh air!

[after some time]

[Lucky]

Hey, it's really working! My shoulder, my elbow...it doesn't hurt!

[interlude]

[Lucky]	Phew...just gotta catch my breath...
[Lucky]	If I can get back in shape...that'll show Coach that I'm the real deal...
	Hey, where's Lucky?
	He ran outside! The freeze beats numbed his shoulder pain.
	The exhaustion is about to start setting in...
	I hope the intern is good at counting in fives...

[Lucky]	Hey. What's that stuff you blasted me with? I feel WORSE than before, somehow.
	I'm so sorry, sir. You must've over exerted yourself.
	The freeze beats dulled your pain, so your body thought it was safe to be active again.
	And like all pain relievers...they wore off.
	I know it's hard, but we need to take it slow.
[Lucky]	Slow? Slow???
[Lucky]	THIS IS ALREADY TAKING FOREVER!
[Lucky]	I don't have time for this.
[Lucky]	Have you checked your phone lately? MadDogMike, Sports of the Roundtable...I'm getting roasted.
	(um, what is a mad dog mike)
[Lucky]	These people with their talk-shows and podcasts...they're vultures. They'll say anything to paint me as some sorta cocky idiot.
[Lucky]	And my coach is stupid too, he'll actually listen to these armchair experts and the no-life trolls and do what they say.
[Lucky]	Last week, everyone had to admit that I was a pillar of the team, an MVP, but now...
[Lucky}	...as soon as I'm out of the game, I'm some dusty old nobody.
[Lucky}	Tch. Whatever. You wouldn't get it.
[Lucky}	Shiny little med school goody-two-shoes. Bet you're a smart little rich kid and everyone loves you.
[Lucky}	They respect you. They listen to you.
[Lucky}	Can you imagine how it'd feel? You have one bad day on the field and then the world just chews you up and spits you out.
[Lucky}	Useless. Outdated. After everything you did for them.
	I...well...
[Lucky}	Nevermind. Just leave me alone.
[Lucky}	I'll do what you said. Go to another hospital. Maybe they'll see it my way.
	That won't be necessary.
	Oh! Dr Edega?
	Mr Jonronero, I understand your frustration. I completely agree.
	Rotator cuff surgery is a lengthy process. It's not at all appropriate to fit your busy schedule. Dr Paige must have mispoke.
[Edega]	You're welcome to try another hospital, but if speed is your priority, I highly recommend staying at Middlesea.
	This is the only facility with access to truly modern technology.
[Lucky}	What? You've got some kind of secret weapon?
	I understand you were dissatisfied with our intern's use of the pain reliever, but you misunderstood.
	The freeze beats are only a prototype.
	...?
	I'll have Ian get started immediately on developing the new rhythm treatment. One that can mend damaged muscles and nerves permanently.
	I'll leave you to your decision. If you feel that months of physical therapy is more your speed, you're welcome to try that instead.
[Lucky}	...
	(What was that? New rhythm treatment?)
	Um...intern, can you keep watch? I need to go check on something with Ian.

	Watch your step. We've got a soda spill.
	Dr Paige just ran past here chugging cans of this stuff.
	That's the telltale sign that she's stressed out of her mind, y'see.
	I overheard her talking with the computer whiz.
	I don't get what they were talking about, mind you. "First-wave prototype" this and "medical communication disaster" that.
	Sounded like pretty bad stuff.
	Hopefully they'll find a fix for the problem. As for me...well, I'll just focus on the soda spill.
	Hm. Now I'm realizing that you don't have legs, do you?
	Whatever. I guess don't worry about the spill, then.
