[It's unsurprising to him that she hasn't heard of it. Generally, he'd say that's a good thing, that ignorance is bliss and it's for the best that she never knows of them or any of their dealings. But unfortunately for them, things just got a lot more complicated, and Ajax doesn't know how he's going to get either of them out of this mess. He has no idea where his phone is either, something he'll have to check once he's cleared and out of the hospital.]
It is. It's a pharmaceutical company that produces a lot of generic medicines and has started to gain some ground in the area of specialized medicine for more rare genetic diseases. They like to keep themselves hidden in the shadows for the most part however, and there's a good reason for it, and why they've been able to make such breakthroughs.
[Pausing, he thinks on how he's going to break this to her. There's no point in hiding it, since both their skins are in danger.]
You see, you're not the only person who has exhibited a strange, miraculous power. Nizhnii has used people just like you as their test subjects, and as far as I can tell, they're used as lab rats to see if they can duplicate or extract a person's special abilities. From the sounds of it, they've been relatively successful. I don't know many of the details past that, all I know is that we're probably next on their list.
[Even though he's not told her everything, this is the truth of the matter at its heart. She at least deserves to know this, and his eyes are cast downward towards his food. What happens next is unknown to him, but at least if he can get his phone, he can talk to his boss...if his boss even has much to say to him anymore.]
