What else could it be used for besides stripping people of their dignity?

Hair can be used to get your DNA. It could be some sort of mass catalog of the City's residents. There are any number of reasons, very few of which are good.

What is DNA if I may ask?

Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It's...it's basically the floorplan for our bodies. It's part of what makes us us.

... They want a piece of our souls?

Not our souls; our bodies.

Well, that much is evident... but what advantage would... the acid give them?

Genetic testing, maybe. Or maybe cloning. The science isn't advanced enough in my world, but presuming that this place is more advanced, they could use it to clone us.

What is cloning?

It's the process through which a doctor makes an exact genetic replica of you.

A copy? I don't want that.

I don't either. I wouldn't give them anything -- hair, nails, skin, whatever -- until you know exactly what they're going to use it for.

I do not think they will be so forthcoming about that?

So I'm noticing. Are they always this cagey?

Cagey?

Pardon my manners, I am Caspian.

Avoiding giving answers.

Dana Scully. It's nice to meet you, Caspian.

The pleasure is mine. You seem very knowledgeable on the subject, Dana Scully.

I'm a medical doctor. I specialize in forensic pathology, but I've found it helpful to keep up with advancements in all different fields of science.

I am not surprised by that. A friend of mine has considered the same study.

I am not sure what exactly, but he has books on anatomy and medicine.

I'd love to speak with him sometime.

He is a bit surly on occasion but I think he would like to make your acquaintance too.
