ROT 1.3 PATCH NOTES:
- Videos will return to weekly releases from last cycle's 10 day intervals as the extra time did not greatly affect engagement.
- The YouTube raffle question source was removed as it was labor-intensive to collect and randomly select from YouTube comments. Instead, another top vote from YouTube comments has returned and the raffle will be a discord only feature.

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS for Dr. Keen and Officer Madina to address in the next installment.

[elizabethk]

To Dr. Keen: What exactly did you observe being done to the bodies?

To Officer Madina: Why is Dr. Keen the only medical specialist?

[LoreTheDarkElf]

This is not a question to anyone, but rather a thought that occurred to me while listening to Dr. Keen describe what he found.

A pipeline involving *all* senior staff to catch bodies that didn't die of a disease.

And some time ago, we were called to ROT and met Mr. Elias True. Who was handling end-of-life care for elders, encouraging the family not to draw things out, and shifting the leftover medicine to the population through the black market.

I would very much like to know how much Mr. True's previous tenure factored into the described pipeline; the man in charge of the elderly would be the man to talk to for cadavers that didn't pass of disease. I'd also love to know how in the world that pipeline would exist *without* him knowing about it.

And lucky for us, he's still alive and on the station. I think it would be prudent to speak with him.

[Vapememes]

To officer Madina and Dr. Keen: Why are all bodies to be "spaced"? Is it to prevent potential outbreaks of disease? Is it simply out of respect? Is it due to a lack of resources? I ask because medical research on cadavers (with the consent of the deceased) is not entirely uncommon in other circumstances, so I wonder why this would be such a significant issue in this case.

[MeloniestNeon]

Question for Officer Madina and/or Dr. Keen: Are either you or any other staff aware of the possibility of a dangerous splinter faction or underground organization aboard the Concretta? If so Officer, does Dr. Keen appear to have any ties to this faction? And for Dr. Keen, do you know anything about this possible organization, and were your actions influenced or aided by them?


(Note for the creators, to be excluded if my comment is selected: Glad to see this series back! And I'm excited to see how things ramp up from here)

[SpacemanScott]

Dr. Keen: While I understand your shame and guilt for this wrongdoing, I don't believe that you are not cognizant of the Concretta's limited resources in both experience and *personnel.* The way you speak of the dead show's that you have clear reverence for the wellbeing and existences of others, enough to feel personally compelled to right the unhumanities inflicted upon them. So tell me: how can you decide that you have a moral obligation to blow up a portion of the ship, but not one to then stay aboard and assist with repairs, medical assistance, and ensuring the efficient continuity of the Concretta's society writ large?

The two years it would take to fill your position cannot make up for the numerous years of medical/scientific experience that your termination would take away. You cannot claim reverence for the dead, if you're then willing to forsake the living.

[kfreckman]

Dr. Keene: In you ropinion, how powerful would the person need to be to authorize such experiments? And does that lead you to fear them?

[stag_kaiju]

"To Madina, why are you so hesitant of losing Dr.Keen? Isn't the standards of ROT trial more important to secure than a criminal who have manslaughter charges?"

I'M SO HYPED FOR THIS HOLY MOLY.

[AshtonPyr]

Dr. Keen, your Termination could not only hinder Concretta's medical coverage, but could result in this "infection" to resurge among Administration once you are dead and no longer able to work against it. Why do you believe that risk is less than the justice your execution would uphold?

[pteroid]

What guarantee could we have that he won’t be able to take his own life if spared?

[luxurygnoll]

Dr. Keen, you say that the medical specialist positions could be filled within two years. Are there any kind of medical emergencies that you, personally, have seen on the station that students would not yet be prepared for? What kind of concerns will crop up without the former medical team?

[kingonhisthrone]

Since the question has already been thrown out there,
What did you see in the lab, Dr. Keen?
What kind of inhumane experiments were they doing to the bodies?

[VoidWalkerOblivion]

Officer Madina: Are we permitted to chose to delay but enforce punishment?

[zodianon]

To Dr. Keen: What were the experiments taking place in the lab and how long do you estimate they had been taking place? Are there any specific connections to higher administration that you suspect?

[anton.s]

To Officer Madina, Has the illegal lab been investigated after its destruction? Such as its origins, who authorized it, and the investigation of those involved? If yes, what were the results?

[Chicken_]

To Dr. Keen: how did you learn of the sub-lab and was killing everyone who was there your first thought? Also what experiments where they doing, and which dead bodies where they testing on? To East Patch thank you for the videos that you make, i loved your other series angle hare so i cant wait to see this, thank you so much.

[quantumharmonizer]

To Officer Madina: Given the Medical Wing is now destroyed, is there any evidence of this illegal laboratory beyond Dr. Keen’s Testimony?

[Otamamon]

To Dr. Keen: why do you believe you were excluded from this alleged secret research carried out by your peers?

[Mick-lessthan]

Officer Madina, in light of the value Dr. Keen provides Concretta, could his sentencing be postponed until specialist medical positions are filled?

[mariareynard]

To Officer Madina: If Administration was involved, what else could the Doctor have done legally to shut down the unethical experiments?
