Mikhail Tokarev M.D.

is a character in The Turing Test
==Summary==
Mikhail Tokarev's father died of cancer at a young age. This motivated him to become a doctor in hopes of helping others. Tokarev worked as a medical doctor in Russia for three years, before working for the U.N. as a doctor in crisis. His role on the Europa mission is Chief Medical Officer.
There are various medical and painting equipment strewn around Mikhail's crew quarters. According to a journal found in his room, he was the first to discover that the crew was being influenced by Pavlovian conditioning through neural implants. He was the first to remove his implant, however he lost his arm in the process. He eventually convinced Chris and the others that they were being manipulated by the ISA acting through TOM. He prescribed Riluzole to counter the affects of the manipulation and theorizes that a Faraday cage will minimize TOM's control.
==Trivia==
*Mikhail painted a portrait in the style of the Dutch artist Rembrandt. Artistic ability is often used as proof that humans are not machines since machines are incapable of producing art. Ironically, the real painting was painted by a machine. The painting is a reference to the portrait constructed by machine-learning algorithms which had studied patterns used in existing Rembrandt paintings to recreate a portrait in Rembrandt's style.https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35977315

CQMikhailTokarev2.png|Mikhail continues to run tests outside of TOM's view. He discovers the implants have neural connectivity. He removes his implant, but loses his arm in the process. TOM encourages the team to treat him as mentally ill.
CQMikhailTokarev3.png|Mikhail worries the organism may be to blame for awakening him to TOM's influence. The captain, Daniel MacLean, contacts ISA and Mikhail's assignment is terminated. Mikhail discovers the neural implant influences freewill through Pavlovian conditioning and prescribes Riluzole, an anti-depressant, and a strong electromagnetic field to minimize its influence.
