**Scene:**
*Interior of Bureau’s office. Bureau sits at a desk with his name on it, HM Matthews sits on the other side. The office is cluttered, with stacks of paper everywhere. Everything is dirty and dingy.*
Dr. Bureau: When you told me she had come back from apparent death, I had my suspicions. I’m glad you brought her here, because my suspicions have been confirmed. (in his thoughts: and she may have just bought me a ticket back to my old job!)
HM: Enough chit chat doctor, why didn’t she die? She’s been a pain for me but I can’t seem to kill her. Is there a way to finish her off?
Dr: Well, yes, technically, she can be burned or shredded. Or you could remove her head, that should remove her regeneration abilities….
HM: Regeneration abilities? What are you talking about? You and that old Party nonsense, your little project failed, remember?
Dr:… as I was saying you can kill her. But perhaps you may want to reconsider.
HM: I’d rather see her gone. She’s been nothing but trouble. You said burning? I have an incinerator which should do the trick…
Dr: Yes, but perhaps you’d give me the time to study her first….
HM: Why would I?
Dr: Uhhhh, maybe I can make it worth your while? (shit, I don’t know if this is transferable) let me study her and I’ll give you my results.
HM: Fine, you have a month. At least she’s out of my hair for awhile.
