mostly so an exchange where someone loses an arm or something and he's just like "eh youll be fine just reattach it or walk it off" can happen

>Why do you even care about being sticked in a tube then ? It's not like you'redoing much, anyything really of your life when you're free. at lleast if they ma&naged to reverse engineer your immortality you'd get some people to talk with for more than a century.
You got like monthes, years maybe before they stuck you into that tube and you did what with it ?
>Seriously tho, not to undersell 'turning jaded apathy into an art form' but while it's expected of an imortal to be all aloof and jaded, you need to get a long term hobby or two, painting masterpieces, write a never ending autobiography, quantum physics, start a cult with you as the god, supervillainy...

>Muster some energy to get out of your tube and get involved.
Yeah, yeah. You're not a completely inert lump yet, it hasn't gotten that bad. You slither out of the tube.
>Tend to the lady's wounds.
Oh good, she looks mostly fine. Probably. You're the last person to ask about any kind of damage to the body, but at least no limbs are missing or anything.
She got knocked out by the explosion, though. And speaking of which...
>Investigate source of explosion. Did it create an exit hole?
Yep, that looks like a big ol' hole to you. Looks like some ropes coming down, too.
You should probably get out of here. If there's one thing you associate with ropes and explosions, it's people who use ropes and cause explosions. You don't really want to be around people like that.
>Why do you even care about being stuck in a tube? It's not like you've been doing much else with your life.
Well...yeah, but it's all about respect, and ethics, and... Hm.
Actually, that's a good point. Thinking back on it, you kinda gave up on doing big things a while ago and now things have been just happening around you.
That's probably not a good way to live. You wouldn't call yourself depressed - though you have every right to be - but healthy people are usually more active than this.
Maybe you haven't really given this immortality thing a fair shake. You have infinite time to do whatever you want and here you are moping about not being the master of your own fate.
>A new era begins.
You know what? Yeah, it does. You swear, hand-on-heart swear, that you're gonna do things with your gift from now on. There's a ton of stuff to do!
Yeah, this is getting you pumped up now. Once you get out of here, you could do so many things! Plant a forest and see it grow around you! Learn every book ever by heart! Freak people out by pretending to die!
Well, you've been doing that last one anyway. Point is, you've been given the chance to do great things and from now on you won't squander it.
==>
Coming back to reality, you should probably focus on more immediate good deeds. For one, helping this science lady not get a bullet in the head.

Ask him to play Xbox on his Chest.
--> Slap the gun out of his hand.
Most people don't do this (they are afraid of being shot) but what do you care. Karate Chop that gun!

Immortality might have made life boring, but at least it gave you cheat codes to survive anything. So twist that guy's arm and take their gun and skedaddle with the scientist

Looks like that caught him off guard. Some secret task force this guy is part of. Well, you suppose he didn't exactly expect you to be so direct about this.
Still, you're not very into direct confrontations, especially when you need to protect someone else during them. Best to get out of here while he's momentarily distracted.
==>
Okay, good, it works. Normally you wouldn't take someone's key...card...thing without permission, but there's no time. She'll thank you when she wakes up.
>Flip him the double bird.
New attitude, same awesome ideas. Go to hell, you weird ninjas. You hope they get written up or yelled at or something for letting you slip away.
==>
Okay, you're liking this new outlook on life stuff. It seems to be working. Even if the only thing you've done so far is lock yourself into a different room you also don't know anything about.
No, no more self-criticism like that. It's unhealthy. Everything you do is the right thing. Think positive.
==>
Still, one thing concerns you. Your lady friend still hasn't come around. Being unconscious for so long is starting to drift into serious brain damage territory.
==>
Hmm. Maybe you missed something? You give her another good glance.
She seems healthy enough, like you said. Is there anything...
==>
Oh, you know! Normal people tend to breathe, don't they? The living ones, at least. Yeah, you kinda forgot about that.
And you're pretty sure she...hasn't been doing that. Like, at all. Since you found her after that explosion.
Yeah, that's gotta be it. Mystery solved.
==>
Ah.

Hey, at least you tried man. Props to you for trying to do a good deed either way. Right now, it's probably better to pay attention to your surroundings and see if you can find a way out of this.

Well, you're in the future aren't you? Maybe try CPR, or check the wall/desk for those MEDKITS that seem to be prevalent in those future-esque sci-fi places. Maybe even if you can't save this lady, they will probably be useful in the general sense.
Consult ye telescreen computer wall device.

With all this bio-science shit around there's probably something that can help. Like a trauma kit or something?

>...you alright, man?
Yeah, no, you're...you're fine, yeah. You're kind of in a funk, though. Not really sure what got you here.
It wasn't the fact that she's dead or anything, people die around you all the time. Just a fact of being immortal.
It just really sucks how you didn't even remember that people need to breathe. It's like, what kind of person does that? Should you even group yourself with humans at this point? You're probably pretty distant from most people brain and body-wise now.
==>
Alright, whatever, enough self-pitying, you don't deserve it. And it's starting to bum you out a little. Best occupy yourself with work.
Back to the adventures of the man who fucks up everything he touches. Time to get out of this dump.
>At least check for a pulse.
Nothing. Either you're bad at checking a pulse or else you were right the first time.
This sucks. You don't know this lady's life plan, but you're pretty sure nobody wants to die at work. That's like only one step above dying on the toilet.
>With all this bio-science shit around there's probably something that can help.
Actually, looking around, you're not too sure this place is a bio lab.
It's got a real "studio apartment" or alternatively "filthy janitor's closet" look to it.
The presence of the bed in particular concerns you. It implies that there's someone out there with low enough standards to sleep here.
>Check the medkit.
You open it and to your surprise, nay, to your shock, it's not really all that useful.
Past, present, or future, nobody ever stocks these things properly.
Mysterious bottles and syringes, bandages, broken glass...
You wish you could read the stocking chart thing so you knew who to punch in the face for refilling this so badly.
==>
Wait, no time for that. Looks like your new best friends are here. And they've brought Mr.Plasma Cutter out to play, too!
You should probably formulate a plan or...something. You don't really have anyone to protect anymore so you don't care about fighting, but getting captured or something would just be boring and inconvenient.

Grab Mystery Syringes. Wait in ambush, when they bust in the door, skewer the poor slob with an overdose of mysterious expired medical gel or drugs.
