Father Heinrich

Heinrich waited for Gregory to exit the room; he obviously had something important to discuss with Dr. Steinburg. Heinrich wondered if it was mission-related or not. After a brief moment, Heinrich could overhear Gregory mention to the doctor to bring his ammunition as he exited the doorway. Heinrich stopped him.

"If I may confide something in you," Heinrich stated, "I wish to tell you something but not here. Could you walk with me?." Father Heinrich led the way as he slowly walked in no particular direction; he only wanted to get away from Dr. Steinburg.

"I have some concerns, Gregory," Heinrich admitted, "you seem like a sensible man and I'm sure you can understand this, but even though I haven't been here long enough to have leverage within the ranks, we should keep an eye on this Dr. Steinburg. Subject 13 is a human being like you and I... I don't not believe the doctor shares that same view. I myself have no problems dealing with the forces of evil, but I do not know if I will be able to harm this girl. She's innocent." Heinrich disliked fighting those who did not deserve it. "I do not believe in robbing away someone's freedom in order to run experiments to find a possible cure for any illness, even vampirism. There has to be a better way." Heinrich wondered if Gregory was going to jump to the conclusion that Heinrich hated modern medicine due to his faith.

"I am a logical man, Gregory; I know that faith in God alone cannot save someone and our breakthroughs in medicine can save countless lives, but how far is Dr. Steinburg willing to go to get his cure? I do not feel that losing everything that makes us human is worth it."
