He is the host of the cbc science show, "The Nature Of Things"
(he is also a social justice activist and a cool old dude)
(I have no money and am making none off this story)
This is a normal blackroom interview with three cameras,
The Manitoulin Interview
by drkraven01
In studio, A quick backlit overview shot of two figures sitting on opposit sides of a low table. Right figure is a large person with a protruding muzzle. Left figure is a smaller person. Both are shown in siluette.
Camera switches to left figure, now lit. It's Dr Dave. He is wearing ratty jeans, A red plaid flanel workshirt, and a grey cardigan, He is holding a large coffee mug
"Hello, I'm in studio nine with Dr Henry Mcoy, Welcome to the nature of things Henry"
Camera switches to right figure, now lit. It's Dr Henry Mcoy. He is wearing a light grey turtleneck sweater, a leather jacket with an X insignia on either shoulder, and black trousers,
He is also holding a large coffee mug, He is visibly a mutant, with blue fur and a leonine face, He is absently picking something off his sweater.
"Thankyou David, I'm quite happy to be here,... Although I seem to be shedding."
Henry smiles, showing large canines, and takes a sip of coffee
"I must say that Following your show from New York has been difficult. I've been having a freind from Alpha flight tape it, and send it to me in quarterly instalments. Unfortunately it's broadcast coincides with baywatch, and I'm terribly outnumbered at home"
Camera switches to Dr Dave
"God bless Pamela Andersen,"
Camera switches to show both men lean forward and tap their coffee mugs together in salute, Both are smiling
"On a more serious note Henry, You were involved in the legacy cure, I understand that the legacy virus was not a natural virus"
Camera switches to Henry, A flicker of pain shows in his eyes and he seems to sag slightly.
"No that is correct. The legacy virus was deliberately engineered. While most scientists hold strong ethical principals, There are a few who unfortunately do not. There are criminals in our midst, and they care nothing for the accepted rules of the scientific comunity."
Henry glares into the camera.
"I'm sorry David, But as a Canadian of Japanese ancestry, you do understand what it means to be an excluded minority. Fear and missunderstanding can only lead to tragedy. The fact that scientists, Indeed geneticists, were involved in what amounts to an attepted mutant holocaust..."
Henry looks down in frustration.
"Of course your own articles, and your chapter on Dr Joseph Mengele. You discuss the danger of science being perverted to serve political agendas."
Henry straightens.
"No, The legacy virus had a unique genome, augmented by self replicating nano technology. Although the virus was originaly designed to target hosts with the X gene factor. It could, like any other virus, mutate. It could, and indeed did begin to infect and kill baseline humans. The designers of the virus risked the whole of life on earth, just to kill one minority."
Henry finishes his coffee, pours another cup, and tops up for Dr Dave.
"I've currently set most of my research on the back burner as it were. I'm needed as a teacher. We have more students at the academy than ever before. I think the education of our children takes priority."
Switch to Dr Dave.
"I agree absolutely."
