Hello. John Watson here.

I've met some of you already but for the rest I'd like to introduce myself as a doctor. I'm from Earth, 2012, I'm a fully qualified surgeon as of that year and familiar with medicine from that time period. If you'd rather not go to Lysa, please get in contact if you ever need medical attention. For the time being I'll be treating anyone for serious problems at the Station, but in the event of an emergency or something minor I can come to you.

Those of you I treated the other night, if you could check in that would be great.

Thanks. Hope we're all doing alright after that nightmare.




I'd also be interested to talk to anyone with medical experience about their thoughts on Lysa's methods from what they've seen so far. Cheers.

I will remember it. Thank you, doctor. I don't come from your world, but I put more stock in methods such as Claire's than the magical arts.

That's as barbaric as I'm sure they claim anything other than magic must apparently be.

( His intuition proves correct, and how. )

I have. I've mostly known it to take life and play tricks with the mind.

I'm sorry to hear that. [ he wants to ask - but etiquette stops him. he shouldn't, really, ask for details about something like that from a stranger. ] Here's hoping it's not as bad as that here.

[jelmazmo]

I appreciate your sympathy, thank you. ( It's a relief that he doesn't. She's known these people for far too short a time to speak of her son. ) We must ensure that it is not.

[ and some time later, ]

A colleague and I are looking into analysing Lysa's medicine and practices. If you'd like to be kept informed, I can arrange that.

I would appreciate that very much, thank you. We should learn more of this world on the whole.

Not a problem. And we should, yes. With any luck we'll manage to pull together and get on with that, but who knows. We're a mixed bunch.

It will be a challenge. My own people cannot seem to coexist in harmony. Uniting so many who will likely have vast differences between them will take time.

But I remain undaunted. And you?

I remain slightly daunted, but it's good to know that at least some of us have a bit of faith. And if worst comes to worst there's always a spaceship to retreat to.
