[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.]

Yeah, I kind of figured and I can guarantee my magic's not going to make it work better.

Let me know when you've got free time... course I can't pay you yet..

Wow, that's pretty nice of you. You sure there's no catch? [There's always a catch in his experience.]

I just... don't know a lot of people who work for free. Who don't know me and like me already.

[That earns a dry but amused chuckle.] I suppose you're right. Nice to meet you Pavel, I'm Harry Dresden.
harrydresden: (oops)

[personal profile] harrydresden 2012-08-26 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, we were talking about that. [Fumbles around in his pockets before he pulls it out and nearly drops it. It sparks in indignation.]

Er... here.
harrydresden: (good book)

[personal profile] harrydresden 2012-08-26 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Good riddance to it. I can't figure it out at all. A young lady named Asami has offered to help me learn how to use it but I think it's probably an uphill battle and both the device and I will kick and scream the whole way.

I have a feeling I'll be fighting with it regardless, but the less fighting the better.

Seriously, thanks man.
