[It's immediately obvious that this video is being shot outside--in the garden, likely. The setting is somewhat incongruous with Chekov's tendency to post about technology he has been working on, but there he is. Judging from the seventeen year-old's expression, he is prepared to explain something. At length.]

I am not sure if this is of interest to the medical staff of the City's hospital, but I believe I have a device that may be of use to you. I will require the aid of City Solutions to replicate this, but...

[He trails off and pulls a small, boxy item into view. It doesn't look that impressive; honestly, it could pass for an early cell phone if it weren't for the screen.]

This was, originally, a medical tricorder, which I assume has been introduced to the City, since Doctor McCoy had one. Usually they are used only in the field, but a full-sized medical diagnostic array is far beyond me. But I was saying... at home, where I am from, we also have instruments called psychotricorders--specifically programed to display brain activity--that are not typically attached to other devices. Unless I have made a mistake, this is capable of performing all activities that a psychotricorder can, in addition to those of a medical tricorder.

[reluctantly] The data chips may, perhaps, need to be reprogrammed by doctors, the psychotricorder chip especially. I am not a specialist in the field of biochemistry, but it is simple enough to alter the program. I can show a medical professional how.

But how it works is like this. The detachable scanner is used [he removes a smaller device from the back of the modified medical tricorder] to gather readings. The information it gathers is sent to the central processing unit [the midsection of the device is indicated], and the information is displayed on the screen, here. Very simple. Not that the information itself is useful without a doctor or someone sufficiently schooled in interpreting medical readouts to analyze it... make a diagnosis.

Ah, and I have perfected--to the best of my abilities--my early modifications that allow this tricorder to serve also as a dermal and osteogenic regenerator. Only good for small breaks and relatively minor injuries, but useful, I hope. So, with this, physical and psychological diagnoses may be made without intrusive procedures, and some wounds may be fixed in minutes.

[Chekov looks rather pleased with himself. Understandably so, perhaps.]

Please, if you are associated with the hospital and would like to make use of this technology, contact me. I would like to be of help.

Saya, if I may--there was a curse the last time you offered to show me how the Impala works. Would you still be willing to teach me about it?

[And with that, he ends the feed. Chekov will be loitering in Xanadu, should anyone wish to come across him.]

[Korra tests it out gently, and is surprised to find it all healed up. Only Master Katara had ever been able to heal injuries that thoroughly, that fast.]

I was doing some spin kicks and landed wrong.

[ADMIRATION. She likes that. She's gotten so used to being hated or feared or manipulated & used for her power, it's nice to be reminded that some people think she's just cool.]

Yeah. I've mastered three forms [a shadow flits across her face -- but she can do the water, earth, and fire forms, even if they have no bending power behind them] and am training in a fourth. Are you a martial artist?
anatural: Korra gives sass (sarcasm 1)

What are you talking about? [WTF are "phasers"?] Being quick and sneaky are very important to fighting. That's how airbenders do it.

[She grins.] I'm not much for being sneaky, myself, but it doesn't matter how strong you are if you're slow.
anatural: Korra looks wry (cheerful)

[She laughs a little.]

No, we use chi to channel air.


We could work on your fighting, if you want.
anatural: Korra looks cheerful (i am happy and cheerful)

I'm not sure I'd be very good at it. You'd probably be better off talking to Toph. But I'd be happy to help you train. Teaching is one of the best ways to learn.
