[Mina's voice is calm and collected. She enjoys her particular air of authority and it's quite clear.]
I think, at this point, it's safe to say that we're going to be here for a while. As tragic as that is, we must be practical. No sense in beating our breasts over it and crying about the fates. That won't accomplish anything.
Dramatics aside, it seems only practical that everyone here submit to a physical examination. Since Doctor Banner and I are going to be your primary care physicians, we do need a good baseline for all of your healthy, little bodies.
I shall be in the clinic every night this week. No need to call ahead. I'll take people on a first come, first serve basis. And if you're uncomfortable with me, I won't be offended if you turn to Doctor Banner instead. However, if you try to skip out on this little examination, we will know about it, as we will be sharing notes.
[She pauses.]
I realize that not all of you are comfortable with the chain of command, but please understand, this is not a request. This is a requirement. We cannot function efficiently as a medical unit without the proper data. And I don't care if you've never been sick a day in your life, if you're an immortal homunculus, or if you have "a thing" about doctors. This needs to be done. Let's be practical here.

[ Clint's brow quirked up at that. ]
I see that goin' over well. It'd get you a lot of friends here. You don't scare me, doctor. [ A pause. ] You don't have a right callin' me a coward so let's just leave it like that.

But that doesn't give you, or anyone else here, the right to be disrespectful of someone trying to do good.
[She cuts the line.]
