Oh yup, Chaos is broken. Who knows how fix him?

Oh it's an actual line? XD My friend mentioned it for some reason that I don't remember... But it's a very true line.

Doctors/nurses would at least attempt to calm the child down.
Some (most?) doctors would. Some just don't care. Which doesn't make them less efficient at treating the medical problem.

Very very few people are a Dr House, they can be asshole AND not be good at their jobs. It's not a character trade.

You keep calling it a medical problem, but the truth is that he's doing this for himself, Vivio isn't sick.

Hmmm, I think I can hear the blast-doors closing...

He's doing it for the whole mankind! To cure it from the sickness that is TSAB!

I think you hear it right.

I know, I was scared at well, but did you notice that the doctor that helped you did not tie you up, did not laugh like an insane scientist, did care about your feelings and did everything to calm you and make everything as quick as possible.

Less painfull then sleep or illusions?

Change the 'some' to very few. And yes, it does make them less efficient. Why? Because they don't care. You are always less cautious when doing things you don't care about, which means doctors that don't care about patients are less efficient.

If the operation required that you hold still, then tying you up is a logical move.

True, but Vivio's so scared already I bet it made no difference. When you are talking about the culmination of a great plan, I'd forgive him for indulging himself for a minute.

Not doing any comforting is a way of speeding up the process.

Proof that the operation/experiment/whatever can be done just as well after anaesthesia?

So why does she spend most of her time crying, even when she's with Nanoha?

Bad jokes aside, I agree with you on that point. He's doing it because it's his passion. He's about to achieve his masterpiece; it's not that surprising to see him oblivious to anything else.

But my point was: he isn't a sadist, he doesn't enjoy inflicting pain; he just doesn't care. Or maybe he doesn't even notice.

AFAIK, a bind is not especially painful.

But she smiled a good number of time when she's with her

And going by your theory, the problem should be in nanoha, seeing how many girls cry around her as well

First she cried, and after that she smiled.
Give a chance, and a bit more time, to Jail...

Yup, she ain't called the White Devil for nothing.
It seems contagious, BTW: in this episode, lots of girls are crying when with Fate-chan.

Sedating even more so.

That's not the point, the point is that you try to portray him as humane. Laughing while a little kid is absolutely terrified of you and not caring one bit is not humane.

But again, it's not humane.

Not caring about inflicting pain or fear to achieve your goals is sadistic on its own, you know...

Neither is sedation, a sleep spell or an illusion. All of which would have had the added bonus of a not-terrified Vivio.

But Jail clearly wants immediate reaction and results. Since it's half-proven (( by Zest/Relic Weapon connection )) that no physical changes occur, so it's not like the changes are visible with sedation.

I mean, he's been pretty patient considering how badly he wants Vivio. Now that he's gotten her hands on her, I'm surprised he waited A WHOLE DAY before inserting it into her.

Shows that for all his craziness, he cares too, about Cinque, Nove and Ginga...a little.

*Tilts head* Must've missed that, could you expand on that a little?

I fail to see how making a little girl shiver in fear for a whole day shows he cares.

And he still needs the numbers, getting rid of them now would prove counter-active.

Implications :

Zest and Lutecia are said to be Relic Weapons = involved with Relics.

Zest said he was a dead man who's living on borrowed time before returning to where he should belong. Jail said Relic Core XI can revive Rider-lookalike = Relic possibly restores life, memories, conscience, whatever.

Regius recognizes Zest = No physical changes to Zest.

So, it can be assumed implanting Relics DOES NOT induce physical changes, and thus any legit changes (( in the heart, conscious, action, personality, magic, etc )) can only be seen when conscious.

So, Jail needs her awake. It's not like calming her down will really work (( Quattro's NOT helping though )), so why bother?

A simple illusion would do, making Vivio see something different, like still being at RF6. Even if the change is not physical, you would notice a change in behaviour.

Merriam-Webster defines sadism as "excessive cruelty".

So during nearly a whole minute, we see that the easily-scared Vivio is really scared. And that might even carry on for a few minutes.
OK, it's not really humane not to comfort her. It's debatable whether doing what has to be done as fast as possible, so that it's over as soon as possible, is a good idea or not.
But anyway, it's hardly "excessive cruelty".

Yeah...

But from Vivio's reaction from being bond (and how she was found by the Forwards) She must have gone through what Jail was about to do to her, since she immediatelty recognized the Relic's case when Jail and Uno entered the room.

Before that, she was just terrified, probably because Vivio knew she was going to be experimented on...

What makes you think she wouldn't see through the illusion? Remember, Vivio is a powerful (if latent) mage.
