Good evening. I am Dr. Jonathan Reid, of London, England. I arrived here as I imagine many of you did, through those ghastly eggs.

Should you need a field surgeon or a physician's services, I offer both freely. You may find me in the infirmary or reach me through these devices. I regret that I have no resume or other prior reference to offer, only that I served in the War, and I'm accustomed to making do with very little.

Thank you for your time.

[ Is there something in particular that needs his attention? Perhaps that's too forward. These aren't like letters, and no soirees where it might be soothed over, spoken of like gentlemen. ]

I have been informed, thank you.

[ Fascinating devices, wonderful technology, he can look forward to much, in the future. On another world. ]

Is the technology familiar to you?

I wouldn't call it unfamiliar.

A lot of this is theoretical in my time, you see it in books and at the cinema, but science fiction has a way of becoming science fact. Let's say I'm not surprised by most of it.

cw for experimentation on ppl

I can see what you mean.

[ He knows what he found, in the sewers, and what the old journals suggest — he doesn't want to ask what sits in the great archives of St. Paul's Stole, and what is behind the locked door of the cellar to the Ascalon Club. The island of Doctor Moreau comes to mind. ]

I hope this is Verne, and not Wells.

Hell, I'd take Thoreau.

[deathpending]

A-ha! As might I. Or some Chesterton.

[ Anything but Dracula. ]

Unfortunately, looks like we aren't getting much downtime here to brush up on the classics.

（ he hasn't warmed to the man, but sam's never been that guy who'd let pettiness cost someone else more than an inconvenience. so, after a long moment: ）

I have EMT training, myself. Not exactly a surgeon, but I've seen a bullet wound or two in my day. Call if you need me.

[deathpending]

I shall, and I appreciate the offer of assistance.

See you around, Doc.
