Paging Arthur C. Clarke... [Video]

[Gordon fidgets when he first sits down in front of the camera, fiddling with his glasses.]

So... for those of you who don't know me, my name is Doctor Gordon Freeman. I'm a scientist and a Transport just like all of you, and there's something that I've observed for the longest time that intrigues me.

Magic. Some of us use it here, or at least have powers that are worthy of the term... Now, I'm not looking to start any sort of science-versus-magic debate here. On the contrary; I'd like to ask those of you who use such powers a few questions about them so that we can gain a better idea of what kinds of powers we've got around here.

Where do you draw your power from? How is it focused? Do you use spells, words, gestures, symbols? Or something else? Are there any dangers to you when you use it? Things like this. I realize some of this might be personal, but anything you can volunteer would be useful; hell, it's still better than nothing.

It's useful, I'll give you that. But something always goes wrong.

[That might have more to do with Pete's life than magic.]

Look, I'm not going to throw around fireballs anytime soon. I'm just curious how the other side works.

[It's not like Pete is a scientist, either.]

I just--

[Oh, fuck it.]

I'll see if the magician on my team wants to talk about it.

...Thanks a lot, Pete.
