[When the video feed comes on, it's held fairly close to the Doc. The device is actually secured in a dock on the dashboard of the DeLorean - a nice little rig he's set up, and is now taking advantage of. He's still poking at the device, but withdraws his hand when he notices it's now recording. When he pulls the hand back, you may get a glimpse of Amory int he passenger seat - who is observing, as Doc's replacement Marty intern.]
Ah-- There we are. [And with a smile,] Good evening, City. For those whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting to date, my name is Doctor Emmett Brown. Presently, I am sitting within an experimental vehicle of my design which managed to cross over from my own reality into the City along with me. Tonight I am conducting a preliminary experiment which may - possibly - eventually lead to a better understanding of the functioning of the City and its relation to our various timelines of origin. For the moment, I shall simply be determining if the vehicle's intended functions have been restored.
[There is a bit of a pause, of the dramatic variety...]
Officially commencing City temporal experiment number one.
[And with a final nod at the camera, he turns on the engine and begins to accelerate. As the car goes faster, lights inside the car activate - the flux capacitor, located in the back and visible between the two seats - comes to life, light flowing through its tubes. Through the windows, you can see the energy cackle around the car as it comes to speed until suddenly, a blinding flash and a loud boom - not of an explosion, but the sound of a drastic energy discharge - consume the feed. After that, static - a few glimpses of the inside of the car, through heavy visual distortion with no audio - and the feed goes dead.]
[ooc: OKAY SO Doc and his intern, one Amory Felix (
fatespoken), are in the Shadow City, shockingly. He was trying to test the time circuits, which are now repaired, by going one minute into the future. But that... does not... so much work, here.
He will absolutely try to reply to Network communication, but it won't go well. This post is ALSO open to action from those who would be there to witness the experiment, on the extremely low-traffic City street he's selected for the test. ALSO ANYONE CAN FEEL FREE TO HAVE SEEN THE FLASH AND THE TWO TWIN TRAILS OF FIRE LEFT BEHIND THE CAR.]

action!
[It's an affirmation with a slight nod and a small smile he can never quite repress. When he brings the vehicle to a stop, he climbs out his door to examine where they've arrived, looking behind them to ensure they made it back without damaging anyone or anything. That settled, he's on his way to get Amory out of the passenger side.]
action!
[Ken tries to express what he means in words as he gets out, but that's not quite working. Once he's out and standing on ground again:]
Incredible. You're a genius, Doctor Brown.
Re: action!
Oh, it's just love for science and an intense determination, really. Though I certainly appreciate the vote of confidence.
[And he does. He's used to getting called insane rather than brilliant.]
action!
[Ken doesn't think him insane at all. Perhaps a little eccentric....]
Do you need any help? [He isn't sure how he can help carry the other passenger, but he can try if needed.]
action!
Perhaps support his legs? I'd like to keep his head elevated and I'm only taking him to get looked at --
[A nod toward the hospital, which is just across the street]
-- but it would be preferable not to drag him.
[And with a small smile.]
And I'd be happy to explain how the vehicle works sometime, when there are less pressing matters to tend to.
action!
[Takes Amory's legs, and helps make the trek to the hospital.]
I really do hope your friend is okay.
