While Irahl does note with some bitterness how novel some of these 'rights' are, as they're more than he has been offered in the past, he doesn't put too much stock in it. Like the matter of him being able to refuse portions of the test--which has has been offered before--he views those rights more as a trap than anything, and knows that whatever he refuses or rescinds would speak perhaps even more loudly than if he'd chosen to answer them in the first place.

Hearing that they're going to skip a physical exam is intensely relieving, however. He can't entirely hide the quiet, slow breath he lets out as he drops a little of the anxiety he hadn't realized he'd been carrying. It's the only part of the onboarding experience that he'd truly and deeply been dreading. This, incidentally, makes him even more amenable to answering personal questions.

"Sluggish heart rate. Might not seem to be breathing. Don't bleed as much, and might look like old blood instead of fresh. Lethal-looking wounds might not actually be lethal."
