"No... not venom...should've listened to Doct...Doctor Volkert," he replied as he took a seat, with the bin in his hand. "He told me not to eat irradiated food...now it's time to pay the piper." 

Arthur froze at the name, and gave the man a scrutinizing glare. A look of recognition crossed his face as he realized he'd seen the man before. Although he couldn't place the name, the face was certainly familiar to him. It would have been easier to recognize him if he'd been wearing a labcoat... 

[i] "Doctor do I know you from somewhere?"

"Uhh...well," Arthur stuttered, "I've..made my rounds around The Commonwealth. Perhaps you've seen me in another settlement?"

The man then leaned in closer and uttered a single word, "Mankind"

His breath was horrid, and Arthur visible winced, but he also couldn't help but give a look of surprise. He tried to hide his reaction but didn't exactly do a good job of it. Instead he stood up, cleared his throat and tried to sound as professional as he could,

"Yes well...obviously he's suffering from some severe food poisoning," He announced, "Probably brought on by some unwholesome meat or spoiled vegetables. Nothing to worry about I can treat him in my office."

Arthur then helped him up and began escorting him gently towards the staircase, making sure to keep the bin close at hand in case the man had the urge to vomit again, "Uh...oh yes.." he said, remembering something and turning back to Frieda, "Thank you for the lunch Ms. Richter it was very much appreciated. If you don't mind holding down the fort here a bit longer while I treat this man, I'd be grateful. I'll..uh...just be a moment."

Once the pair were up the stairs and Arthur had helped him to sit down, he then disappeared to the mezzanine for a few seconds before returning with a small box, which he was carefully cradling. He sat down in the chair opposite of the newcomer and revealed the emblem on the side, before opening the box and handing one of the precisely packed pills to the man.

"Here," He said, "Its a light one. Supplement 23. Easy on the stomach and should help some of the upset. You absolutely should have listened to Dr. Volkert by the way," a slight smile crept on his face, "He's an excellent physician. Undoubtedly the best in The Commonwealth and possibly the world at this point. He was a good mentor. Our immune and digestive systems just aren't able to handle the surface food...and may I say..I don't think we're missing much..." He gave a light chuckle at his own joke.

"Oh...I forgot," He said, clasping his hands together, "The rest of the phrase. Sorry...I don't get to interact with well...anyone...from back home much anymore. Not in person anyway."

He sat up and spoke the next words very carefully, perhaps even reverently,

"Redefined....Mankind Redefined," He offered his hand, "Dr. Arthur West, Bioscience Division."
