jvlzkcrfsfa I have been an absolute dork for the last twenty minutes, rolling about and flailing because 'you read this fic!' and 'you gave me concrit!' - which then started the cycle all over again. XD;;;
Haha, that part was intentional - M-21 knew the DA-5 team from, uh, either rumours or research, enough to recognise their members and place their names to each one before he'd met them in person.
"Also, M-21 doesn't come across as particularly paranoid." Ah, point. 'Very wary'?
"to be extra paranoid in that situation, possibly to the extent of ignoring what their heart/emotions are trying to say, since he'd be aware that drugs can affect emotions, and who knows what kind of stuff they were doing to him before he woke up" Aaaand I'm going to ramble this one out. XD M-21's aware of mind control (M-24 had a vague ability with it) and if you heard the person's voice, your body moves on its own. It's fightable though, with enough practice and awareness (M-24's was, at least). On the other hand, he finds out later that the stronger version can be used to wipe memories/mess with memories, but this M-21 doesn't know that yet. There's also the fact that M-21 doesn't have his memories of his life prior to waking up in the Union lab... So he knows that his memories can be manipulated. But so far as I can recall, his emotions haven't deliberately been, but yeah, drugs wouldn't have been fun on the other hand... *muses some more*
"I half-expected him to pull a runner, to test the apparent freedom he has" This M-21/M-21 in the past pretty much tried to appear as much as a doormat to scientists as possible, so not to draw attention to himself/himself and M-24. If they did, it usually meant more tests and checks and if that happened, it might be found out that their bodies were in slightly better condition that the scientists thought and then they would have been locked up in a lab again, being examined all over again. XD; So, yeah, not trying to cause any trouble straight away, especially since he needs to recover from finding out about M-24. D: But he'll be testing things a little bit once he gets his bearings. And on the other hand, I should poke the fic a bit to make that clearer. :3
