[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.]

[ooc: Edited on 8/19 to correct factual errors and inexact terms that Chekov would not have made or used.]

[That gets a big smile out of her.]

Should we have a tea date now or make it a in the future thing?

As much as it pains me to delay this, I should return to work before Delacroix remembers to miss me. Are you busy most afternoons?

Not usually. I take the morning shift at the store.

The next warm afternoon, then? And in the winter, I will show you how Russians serve tea.

I'd like that. Both the warm afternoon and the Russian tea. Is it with vodka?

Not usually, no. Jam, honey, sugar, lemon... but not vodka. You may overestimate my desire to indulge in that Russian custom.

I admit, it's a stereotype, but I think I live with the not indulging. Jam? Really? Like strawberry?

[She watches him as they walk, mostly relying on him not to run them into a light post.]

Stereotypes often do exist because they are true, and yes, if you like strawberry jam. I prefer sugar or honey.

[Lucy is in excellent hands. Chekov is, after all, a navigator.]

Ooooh honey could be good. [She'll pour half a bottle in so it's more honey than tea.

Chekov, you are entirely too adorable for your own good.]

It is very good, but what do you put in your iced tea?

[And you, Miss Lucy, are one of the most lovely and agreeable people he has met in the City.]

Lots of sugar and sometimes mint. Especially in the summer. The mint. The sugar is an always sort of thing.

Mint, to me, seems a strange thing to add to tea. Sugar, though, I understand.

I'll make a thermos with mint and one without when we have our iced tea date. It's really good with it.

I promise to be bold and try it, as it comes so highly recommended.

I promise not to take personal offense if you don't like it.
