[There's another pause as Kirk considers his words. This project hasn't even started yet and it already feels high stakes, if only on the emotional front for Jayce at least.
Though not normally upfront, Kirk's beginning to feel that now would be a good time to disclose some details about himself before they decide if they should move further with this project]
When I graduated with my PhD, one of my professors told me and my classmates to not waste our talents. "Be brazen, be bold. The world needs change." We were considered the best and brightest of our year and because of that, he said we were capable of making that change.
At the time, I also had Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. My prognosis was grim. Just like Professor Luthor said, I took bold steps to correct that. I was already specializing in biochemistry and hematology. And Chiropterology was something I was diving deeper into. So with a... former friend, he and I used our combined knowledge to cure me.
It didn't work exactly the way I had intended. Adverse effects came with that serum. That was over 10 years ago and I'm still looking for a way to permanently cure those adverse effects. But if I hadn't taken that serum, I wouldn't still be alive today.
