[Doc is clearly imprisoned, seated upon the thin cot and looking very much unlike his usual self. He's quiet, which should be concerning enough on its own. Nothing that he can do right now, but hardly a situation he's accepting. He does not do well in captivity.]
In situations such as this one, it certainly becomes clear exactly how much we can come to take for granted. Dare to commit some harmless, curious tinkering... or to possess "suspicious technology"...
[And there's a hard frown.]
It should hardly come as a surprise that those motivated by a deeper curiosity, a need to question rather than accept, a drive to understand the workings of their surroundings, are among those looked upon with suspicion, regardless of any actions they may or may not have taken. There's certainly more than enough precedent established for such an action, over the course of human history.
[And he draws a breath.]
If I may ask of anyone who isn't currently incarcerated, would someone be so kind as to walk Everett? His meals are already taken care of, I have a bit of machinery to take care of that particular task, but it certainly won't do to leave him cooped up inside for however long I may be away.

[Repairing it yet again is hardly appealing, and its destruction would be beyond disastrous. After he trails off on that thought, he brings himself back to the last of the questions.]
The charges, I'm afraid, aren't quite immediately apparent. I was questioned on my experiments and subsequently brought here.

Are you uninjured?

Remarkable, how much more effective things can seem, given the proper frame of reference.

What frame of reference?
