Dr. Wilson

Dr. Wilson is the shift doctor whose awakening procedures teach Donald how to revive sleepers; his camera access worries Donald.

Story so far

Dr. Wilson draws Donald’s blood after an awakening. As shift doctor, he locates a late patient in the cryochamber using a monitor and arranges a protocol refresher around a reactor technician beginning his fourth shift. He leads Donald and two assistants through the awakening, explaining that most of it is automated.

Wilson advises returning a patient to suspension if something goes wrong while he is unavailable. He checks vital signs and takes samples at his office, while assistants retrieve the patient’s possessions. His trip to the laboratory gives Donald access to sleeping pills, and he later leaves a forgotten folder on a gurney with a note for Donald. During Donald’s secret confrontation with Paul Thurman, Donald fears Wilson may discover them through a camera feed when he returns to his desk.
