[Alright, while Alex has used the video function several times already, this will be her first attempt at publicly addressing the network.

No pressure.]

U-Um... hello. My name is Alex Benedetto, and I arrived here at the beginning of the month.

[Hard to believe it's already going to be September. Time flies when you're forced into a war effort.] I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me out so far. It's been... really helpful in getting a grasp on what's really going on.

[Bit of a lie. She's still somewhat lost and in disbelief, but at least she's not showing it as much.]

I did have a question, though.

My doctor hasn't been brought here, and I was wondering if there were any among the Transports. The Initiative has been pretty helpful to me so far, but... It couldn't hurt to know of others I could visit.

Thanks.

[action for roommates]

[Alex turns off her device and heads towards the exit of her room. Though she didn't mind the cots, it was nice to be able to have a bed of her own, even if she had been used to living in the cramped apartment with Worick and Nicolas. Her new roommates seemed nice enough, and she hoped that they would all get along with each other.

Thinking that now would be a good time to do a bit of bonding, Alex finally left her bedroom proper to take a look around.]

Hello...?

Padme? Kara?

[Were either of them even in the apartment right now?]

What kind of doctor do you need? The Initiative has some very nice doctors, but we have a clinic with all transports too!

[allucinator]

I ain't exactly a doctor, but I had an . . . education, sorta, over the past few months. If there's somethin' wrong, I can probably help you.

Welcome to the crew, Alex. We have plenty of doctors and healers around here, so I think you should be covered.

[boundbyheart]

Oh, you're that girl.

[Said flatly.]

How are you holding up?

[collectedloot]

[Frankly, "that girl" is a lot better than some of her nicknames back home.]

I think I'm doing alright... I'm not really sure if I should be something else right now. What about you?

Have you been okay?

[collectedloot]

[The kind that helps people out with their memory problems and hallucinations. That's the kind she's looking for.]

An all-transport clinic? Really?

video

[collectedloot]

O-Oh, hello... Thanks for the welcome.

What exactly do you mean with "healers"?

[collectedloot]

[Seems legit.]

There's nothing wrong right now. The Initiative has already given me the medicine I need. I was just wondering if there were any alternatives out there...

[video]

[mentore]

There are plenty of us here who are skilled with medicine and healing. Some more than others, and in other ways, but there is no shortage.

[allucinator]

I dunno. I think you gotta be more specific, you know? I mean, I get wantin' your own personal doctor, somebody you trust, but. I dunno that you got too many choices.

Some people just have this gift about them, whether it was given to them by the Initiative or if they had the power from their own world. One man actually got me out of a bind a couple months ago because it was so instant. It's crazy, I know.

[Healing via waterbending technically is a form of healing, but in a way that can be explained. How some others heal is beyond her.]

I know a pretty good one, but he's not quite kosher. Big quiet intimidating type but actually a total softie, has syringes for fingers.

[collectedloot]

It's, um...

[Does she want this out in the open? Maybe not so much.]

Actually, give me a second.

2/2 private

[collectedloot]

[Is it turned to private now? She sure does hope so.]

Before I say anything else... Could I have your name?

video

[collectedloot]

That sounds really incredible. [Alex sure as heck hadn't heard of anything like it, up until now.] You really do learn a lot just by being here...

Do you have any special abilities of your own?

video;

[collectedloot]

[She's dealt with the quiet intimidating types before. Kind of lived with one, actually. Was pretty awkward.]

His fingers are...?

[How does that even]

[video]

[collectedloot]

That's a relief. A place like this would have a pretty big need for so many doctors and, uh, healers. [That's how you should call then, right?]

video

[fintastic]

Yes, I work there sometimes, and the other transports who work there are all very good at what they do!

[allucinator]

Jack Kelly. Semi-nurse, and a guy who-- you know-- kinda understands about wantin' your own doctor.

[video]

[mentore]

You are not familiar with healers, I take it.

[sweetling]

Only sometimes. It's his Weapon.

[beardedflannel]

[ Huh. He doesn't remember her looking sick at all when they had first met. Must be something she's good at keeping on the low down. ]

What happens if you don't find a doctor?

video

[itsnotaliens]

[It takes Scully a minute or so to figure out how to reply since lol what are touch screens. Once she does she gives the girl a small smile and a nod]

I'm a medical doctor, though I don't practice regularly.

[boundbyheart]

If you're surviving, that's all that matters.

[Straight to the point.]

As I can be.

video

[chittybang]

Oh yeah. The surprises never stop, either. But do I? No... evvverything I do is done the painstaking, normal way.

[She winks playfully.] How about you?
