Background: Milton was well on his way to being a tragic case, on life support for nearly two years before his parents pulled the plug, which they did mere seconds before the D-52 represented presented an alternative. Milton was clinically dead for 15.2 seconds, and his brain had begun degenerating when he was resuscitated, and restabilized in D-52 facilities. D-52's official stance is that the experience was not sufficiently damaging to impede his function in any way, but he has since shown to be a little slow, always seeming to be paying attention to something else. Nonetheless, he took to his training, once he understood it, with tenacity and seriousness, and became something of a disturbing prodigy (the watchword is "savant") with medical application, not showing any squeamishness with blood and organs when there's a job to be done.

"You haven't told me what I'm looking for."
"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."
