You know, I was going to try to wait until everything around here slowed down a little, but I'm getting the impression that that's never going to happen. Meteorites or not, I've still got to eat, and everyone at the Welcome Center has been really nice, but I need a job. I've been giving out resumes across the City, but someone told me I should advertise on the network - it's apparently really helpful for finding a job. Given how kind people was when I arrived, I'm not surprised. [ The surly Joan from her intro isn't here. She's cheerful and friendly... a lot more cheerful than she actually feels, but she really wants to give a good impression. ]

So, here it goes. I'm happy to learn if you're happy to train, and I'd be interested in any kind of opportunity, especially one where I can work closely with people.

[ The resume goes on for another sensible half of a page, detailing other previous work experience and skills. Someone might notice holes of time in it -- there's nothing there about her previous career as a surgeon, nor the length of time she spent in medical school. Really, she's just hoping no one will ask. ]

I put my contact information on there, but you could also respond to this post if you'd like. Thanks for reading!

[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.
