Well....it has been a while since all of this happened, 2 weeks to be approximate and you are still getting used to your body, bumping your head on objects because you still get used to your new size. One thing was sure, you needed Therapy in the near future from all that happened, ...well you planned on it for a while since your raise but never went through with it, might as well go through with that now after this all. 

You felt like actually taking a few vacation days after everything is said and done, take time off to get used to this all but for now you werent even allowed to leave the tower that much since you are monitored on how you are doing with the entire "imprinting" thing. At least you relearned how to walk, so now you just need to actually talk to the one who got you into this mess into the first place.

You walked through the dimmed corridor. "Crackpot!" You exclaimed agitated and annoyed. You had questions and wanted them answered. "Show yourself you slimy bastard!" you added, ignoring the screaming of the zeds. 
"Well hello there, Y/N." he let himself hang upside down from the ceiling right infront of you
"AH GODDAMNIT!" you exclaimed in sudden panic after he basecly jumpscared you...you swear hes doing that on purpose
"What brings you into my humble sector?" he remained in his position as he twisted his head to look at you
"Okay you creepy bitch, first of all, dont do that! second of all...you owe me answers." You said, crossing your arms.
"Well well, looks like i do, dont i?" he jumped down, motioning you to follow him "why dont we go into my laboratory for some privacy mmmm?" he added. You didnt fight him on that, as long as you got your answers, you didnt care.
as you walked into his green lit laboratory you didnt really show any interest in anything anymore "I want answers and I want them now." you said
"Well i cant answer anything if you dont ask me anything, honey" you could tell he was grinning. 
"Alright, then lets cut formalities. You obviously know more about this entire dissonance shit than me. so im going to ask you a few questions. Did you REALLY want to save me or was this just part of an elaborate plan."
"...maybe it was, maybe it wasnt, I dont know im just a scientist" the deranged scientist just shrugged
"Its was YOUR PLAN. YOU know what YOU are doing!" you roared in anger, tired of his games.
"I dont know what to tell you" he said smugly. "All thats going on right now is that you are free from your dissonance ridden body and thus arent really of interest to me anylonger. Well besides this little rivalry game going on that is." he added, leaning back in his office chair
"Rivalry?...really?" you said unamused
"Y/N. You are not stupid. I told you what I do. You...are interfering with it. I TRIED to get rid of you but obviously that hasnt worked so now i just need to live with it and find my way around it. so yes. Rivalry." the masked doctor explained
"You know, I want to strangle you sometimes." you said deadpanned.
"Oh come on now Y/N. We are both here for the same thing are we not? Economical survival...oooooor is there another reason you are staying here?" he was teasing you, he was playing with you.
"No there is not!- ....You know what...come into Christoffs office if you need me. I am done playing your games. I dont know what your mindset or plan is and frankly I refuse to put up with it anylonger. Just one final question before I go, and I want the whole truth on it, capiche?" your blood was boiling and honestly...now you had the strenght to snap him like a twig if you wanted to. "WHY did you kill me. If there was a way to save me, then why."
Crackpot shrugged at this "Mercy kill. Its not like you would have stayed sane anylonger. We dont need another one to end up like Hofnarr if you get what I mean." he waved dismissly.
"Mercy kill....you know what just so that i dont have to argue with you here anylonger I will just believe that. Good day Dr Crackpot." You decided enough was enough.
"This wont be the last time we talk. I just know it.~" He chimed.
"Whatever you cracked out bastard." You snapped at him before leaving his laboratory.

What a slimy bastard. Well at least thats dealt with for now, you didnt exactly get any answers but thats fine, youll just ignore him for now. 
Adjusting in your new body is a bit difficult. You cant remember how many times you bumped your head on things but its....alot. But you had get back to your tasks...and your task that the stranger gave you. You still wonder what they even were, not human thats for sure.

As you entered Christoffs office you actually saw him smile for the first time. "Pleasantly suprised to have you back so soon, Dr Y/N. I assume your recovery went well?" even though with the emotional barriers he usually has up, he seemed to have missed you, or at least a part of him has.
"Yeah its been alright, i still got time off but theres so little to do around here, figured ill just come and help out anyway you know?" you shrugged, you werent a workaholic by any means but...scrolling on social media with the nexian firewall up has gotten boring after the 3rd day. 

He was suprised that you were willing to help but accepted it anyway, telling you to sort some papers and science equipment for him while he filled out his monthly report which you were thankfully excused from doing this month at least. His report was ALOT longer than yours and you started to understand why lead scientists are always on edge, alot of work on their backs and then having to document it all.

"How was it all if it isnt to insensitive to ask." Dr Christoff spoke up while he was writing
"hm?" you questioned for clarification.
"How was it. Experiencing the effects of dissonance." he clarified shortly after.
"Oh, somewhat hard to describe how it was. It all went so quickly but its just a thing you.....feel you know? i prefer not to go deeper into it." You tried to somewhat explain it
"Understandable. You are not required to talk about it." He said going back to silence to focus on his report.
"yeah, i know, thanks Christoff." You said, semi muttering.

Today you will just be helping Christoff but soon, soon you will talk to Phobos about this all. If for a report or because you emotionally needed it, you are not sure, you just wanted to talk to him at this moment, thats all.
