[He smiles a little; sits up a little straighter. He seems vaguely proud of what his capabilities once were.]
That is, I could. Before arriving here. I possessed the ability to test biological samples in real-time, while on the scene.

Connor's hands flex a little in his lap.]
Maybe not. But they don't mind it. Shouldn't mind it, really. Fairness never registers as a prerogative.
