I dunno. I could see him doing some good...
(Note that I have not seen this one)
Whole bunches of problems, here.
- The girls are in the process of breaking down
-- "I'm alive" can only fix flesh, but there's bound to be a song or two that can pull deep repairs on mechanical parts, too.
- The girls are chock-full of gear that breaks down
-- Doug's an engineer, and a good one. He has access to much better technology, a fair number of specs, and a secondary talent that subliminally enchants things to make them better when he's working on them. He's got to have at least some skill in basic first aid/anatomy, and he's got healing songs to use in patching peoiple up when he's done with them. He could make them better.
- The girls are under the thumb of a powerful, ruthless organization
-- No comment.
- The girls have serious emotional issues that have pretty much been broken into them, some of them focusing on some awful people.
-- Well, it's bad, but it's not like he couldn't try to help. I actually see this as potentially the most difficult aspect. When the tortured Innocent tries to kill you, that's bad.
- The girls are trained and mindwarped assassins
-- Again, nontrivial, but could conceivably be dealt with.
- The girls are probably suicidal
-- give them something to live for
Essentailly, I can't see this being easy, but it's not hopeless either. It's just dark.
As for having him catch on to the situation, well, pick one of the girls and:
a) have him run into her and see that *something* is wrong.
b) have him there when she attacks someone, and see that something is very wrong
c) have him see her interacting with her handler and decide that the way he's treating her is just not acceptable.
