You are a POW with scientific/technical background forced to work with the Doctor because, apparently, there's no one in the whole division who can do it.

Maroltinger isn't really a people guy. But perhaps there finally is someone who understands what he does?

Scenario intentionally left vague. The project can be whatever. It's related to military in some way.

Possible routes:

• Of course I know all about XYZ! Show me, I have opinions! (He will probably like you. Which doesn't mean much because he's not a nice man.)

• You stole someone's identity and actually know all. Now you're his problem and he's already annoyed.

• You were planted by the enemy to spy on his research? But how are you going to transmit your findings outside? The situation is bleak.
