Talk with a Dr. about a Dr. (Part 6)

Jp with Jaxx, Redsword, mdman, and Cindy

Dr. Jackal nodded at Mr. Sung as he rubbed his chin. Then he replied, "Coral reefs are often referred to as the medicine chests of the sea. A number of creatures found on reefs produce chemical compounds that have been isolated to treat human diseases and researchers believe that many more are yet to be discovered. However unless it was magically made or altered it, I can't see it used more than a simple ingredient. Do keep in mind ingredients are altered when making food and medicine, but in the end it will not produce a super soldier or a monster like my other half. The reason my formula worked the way it did was due to the correct number of chemical reactions between all the ingredients. The incorrect ingredients would result in failure in any experiment. Considering many researchers have examined this artifact and found little to go by I am still in the belief that the message left on the artifact probably holds more value than the artifact itself."

Cronk was having trouble understanding when Jackal spoke of his second half. As far as Cronk could surmise, all of Dr. Jackal was seated in front of him. He knew nothing about a human turning into a devil. He would need to see it to believe it.

“Mor tell Cronk stories,” Cronk explained. “When Cronk child. Mor tell Cronk stories of Thor. Said Thor make Cronk strong.”

Mor? Elizabeth did not know any Norwegian therefore did not know that was the word for mother. Still, she ventured a randomn guess that was who Cronk might have been talking about.

"I could believe that was who made you strong." Elizabeth wondered if other Orcs still followed the old ways. "Was she a follower of Thor, then, as well?"

Elizabeth let Cronk decide his answer while she responded to the doctor. "Mr. Aster said that the owner of the Visage was Baron Reginald Thorbrum, he is a friend of my father's and I have spoken to the man on more than one occasion. I believe I can get him to tell me more about the inscription." Elizabeth turned to Sung. "I seem to recall you have also met him. Maybe, later today we can venture his way.

Dr. Jackal nodded at Lady Elizabeth who was splitting her attention to Cronk and himself. Seeing as Cronk had something to discuss Dr. Jackal kept his response short as he replied. "I will check it out when you have the time Lady Elizabeth."

Sung smiled "Lady Elizabeth would you like me to send him a calling card?" ask Sung.

Elizabeth nodded. "If you please, Mr. Sung."
