[audio] - backdated to yesterday

I need to know if any doctors in this city have experience with extra-terrestrials. I'm not showing up at that hospital until I know I'm not going to be diagnosed with a fever and a heart attack on sight.

And sorry, Doctor, but I know you know about as much of medicine as I do.

[ooc: Turlough got hit with a stray manhole during the sewer fire event and has been hiding in his room hoping a possibly fractured rib will just go away. It's not working for him.]

Ninety-nine percent of the people in this City aren't from the same earth as me. If that's too much of a technicality, I don't know a doctor working here who hasn't had at least some experience of working on different species.

And heart attack and fever aren't standard comorbidities.

My people have a higher body temperature and faster heart rate than humans. One of the many reasons I avoided hospitals on Earth.

On earth, that would make sense. Here, no one's likely to stick you in a specimen jar.

You're sick?

[He has to switch to private before he goes on, and his voice is noticeably lower and without its usual bravado. Admitting to injury is still something he struggles with. Call it a side effect from captivity.]

Not exactly. There was an explosion in the sewers yesterday. I may have been in the line of fire.

I can guess at burns, shrapnel or blunt injury. Might be quicker if you let me examine you, though.

[private] derp I can spell

[Whoa wait a minute what.] What happened?

Nevermind it, Jack.

[Too bad.] Why do you need to see a doctor?

It's nothing. I've had worse.

[Knowing what he does about Turlough's history, that doesn't exactly make Jack feel any better about it.]

It doesn't sound like nothing if you're asking about a hospital.

Extra-terrestrials? Where are you from? I'm sure we're likely not from the same universe, but you never know.

[Maybe he'll even try and do something to help if this guy turns out to be from one of the few planets he managed to get worshipping him. Odin always hogs the really good ones.]

I don't suppose you've heard of the Trion System.

Bother. No, I haven't. It doesn't mean I don't know of it, of course. The Greeks and Romans call one of my stars Sirius, which is alright, but it's not its name to me.

And which planet are you from?

Just Earth. Well, mostly. Originally. Recently.

Are you kidding.

I find people only ask that question after they've decided whether I'm kidding or not.

Extra terrestrial.

What could I possibly gain in this situation from lying about that?

Attention?

You are an alien? You look very human. Most humanoids I have met who were not from Earth looked different.

Or maybe it's Earthers who look like Trions.

Terrans. We are called Terrans.

They never used that one when I lived on Earth.

Earthers was the word used?
