[the camera is pointed down, down, down. There is a very large hole in the ground and the camera seems to be right over it as if the ~~reckless idiot~~ curious observer is right on the edge]

That is a very big hole. Some sort of mine. You ever notice that word? Mine. Usually what's in it doesn't belong to anyone but everyone would like it to belong to them. Wonder what's in it.

Hallo, by the way, I'm the Doctor. [the camera shifts dizzyingly to show the beaming face of the Time Lord]

Not the worst kidnapping I've ever been to but I'd like a word with the Agrii if anyone knows how, short of leaving messages. Not sure what the vanquish is either, not sure I like it, leaves a bad taste in the mouth a name like that. I don't want to be either. [and ironically he's a bit of both]

Most importantly,

No second most importantly,

Anyone know a way to get down?

First most importantly, what is one thing you should never do here? The worst thing to attempt. The big do not. Lay it on me.

[Have an image of a slightly skeptical teenager.]

I'm Ezra, and we're shipmates. I don't think anyone currently assigned to The Vanquish picked the name.

As for your last question...that sorta depends on why you're asking.

Shipmates... Shipmates. What kind of ship?

[he may have gone a roundabout way. At the question he scratches the back of his neck]

Oh, just a casual question. Not looking to cause trouble or anything. [he also enjoys eating hot chips and lying]

Uh, I'd call the ships here couriers, or very small freighters? They don't go anywhere unless Agrii decide they do, though. But some people prefer to live out of them because they have climate control and hot water and laundry machines and things like that.

[Ezra, sometime petty thief and con artist, who has hungout with way too many pirates and smugglers is just going to continue to side eye.]

I hope hurting people is already on your do not do list?

Doctor. Nice. You do house calls?

You wouldn't be the first wanting to have a word with 'em. Unfortunately between language barriers and their one-sided tendency to communicate with us, getting in touch is a bit tricky. You could try leaving a note in the supply box.

[He's not quite kidding in that.]

I think there's a button this thingy that's supposed to patch you through to them but mostly I just get other people answering instead. Of course that's based off of one time so maybe second time's a charm?

Aaaand the hole. We just used a rope, or you could go my preferred route and jump but um. Not much we saw down there except some bugs- I am pretty sure I blocked that tunnel off and we got rid of the stragglers so. Spelunk away?

[That metal face seems to grin somehow then, a shifting of plates here, the slight parting of his jaw.]

As for what not to do here? Um. Kill anyone, I guess. [He laughs.]

Unless the Agrii decide they do. [he makes a face] And who do they think they are. Unless they decide they do.

[it makes him both irritated and oddly homesick and irritated that he's homesick because the ones that used to do this to him no longer exist and there is nothing but void, but that is the past and it's done and he's not going to dwell on it.

He paces along the rim of the mine]

Hurting people? Nah. Not what I go in for.

Oh, you're beautiful, look at you! Congratulations on the face. [he circles his own and then points with a grin]

I guess I'll leave them notes then [as many as they could stomach, and then more]

Rope. Good idea, rope. I usually carry some with me unless I need it and then of course my pockets are empty. [which they are anyway, save for the sonic. He supposes he should be grateful to the Agrii. Fat chance of that]

Know where I can get some? Rope that is. Not bugs.

And I don't mean killing. I mean something that the overheads wouldn't like that doesn't revolve around hurting someone.

Why thank you! So glad you noticed.

[He taps a finger on his chin.]

Rope. Might be some in the welcome center. Er, I mean "Whale Comb Sent Her." If not, depending on how much you want it, you can get some from the replicator in there. Handy machine, that. Problem is it only spits out a few things a month for a person and nothing in the weapons department. [He snorts at that.]

Oh. Hm. I...am actually not too sure. Haven't heard of anyone doing anything and getting dire consequences for it so maybe we just haven't actually hit that level yet. Although one might argue that the Agrii aren't the ones to really worry about in that department.

Hard to miss. You can get far with a face like that.

[he makes a note of the replicator, wondering what he can get out of it, though not wanting to monopolize it, especially if it seems to be a inconsistent resource.]

Weeell who needs weapons anyway. You can do a lot more with a length of rope than you can with a blaster. Rope and a lot of paper. Reams.

[he knows he'll get pushback on this and doesn't care]

Who are the ones to worry about then? [and he wonders if he can at least annoy the Agrii enough to speak to him]

I know, I know. Blessing and a curse.

[He sighs, although there's a mock gasp at 'who needs weapons anyway'.]

Macrame, maybe. Books. I can get behind books I guess. But. Knives and a cache of reliable firearms do come in handy now and then.

Hm. You gonna be by that hole? I'll drop by, we'll chat.

[Ugh, the mines.]

Dude, don't fuck with the mines. There were rage bugs. It ain't worth it.

Also, things you should never do? Be an asshole that shits on everyone's beach day.

Love me a good macrame, a book is even better. Knives yes, firearms, no. The only place firearms belong is at the bottom of a mineshaft. [no he will not be taking arguments at this time]

Sure why not. I'll be hole adjacent anyway.

[and when the other arrives he might not be immediately visible but the Doctor does love an explore and will pop out when he hears someone coming]

You're not the only one thinking those thoughts.

[The teenager shrugs. It's irritating, in an abstract way, to him, but odds are good that soon as he's sent home, he'll be executed. Besides, the overall mission he certainly considers his purview as a Jedi, and he's getting the opportunity to finish his training that he wouldn't have had otherwise. It's just...asking and consent would be nice.]

So uh...what is your thing? Most doctors are a doctor of something, right?

Rage bugs? What do you mean rage bugs? I want to meet a rage bug. [entymology was one of his various hobbies. It used to be entomology until he got into an argument with Treebeard, but the less said about that the better]

I enjoy a good beach day--

Mostly I want to get up the Agrii's noses or similar anatomy.

Glad I'm not alone.

[but he'll hunt down those like minded people later]

Whatever. Anything really. Welll not anything. Most things. Mostly everything, especially if I can get my hands on a book. Not really good at cardiovascular surgery but then I've never really tried. I'm a dab hand at Operation though.

[Hokay, mental note to keep his collection away from Doctor. The Exo shrugs.]

Alrighty. I'll hop on over.

[Which he almost literally does. Not quite hop, but he jumps. His jumps cover a fair distance, and as he's coming from the vicinity of the city square it doesn't take him long at all to get to the all too familiar hole in the ground. His boots crunch on the gravel, his tattered cloak fluttering after him. He's got a gun in his holster but if anyone tries to throw Ace down a flaming hole there will be words.]

[He recently had a lot of Earth culture jammed into his head, but that reference slides right on by him.]

Oh. Oh! Are you...actually any good with general medicine? We have some people who can heal some, as an ability, including myself, a little, but we don't have medical professionals.

[Oh how wonderful. The woman on screen smiles delightedly at the Doctor.]

It is good to have more healers join our number. We shall be glad for your presence.

[a whistle as he watches him land and he peers up over the lip of the mine]

Nice. Good landing that, but can be hard on the knees. Good to meet you. [he sees that gun but if it's not being drawn it won't be chucked down a mineshaft]

Ahhh no. No not really. I mean very general, first aid, lick it and stick it sort of thing but beyond that, not that sort of doctor no.

Not that kind of doctor. There are other kinds of doctors, you know. I could be a doctor of anthropology or astrophysics or really great hair. [he runs his fingers through it]

Not so much a healer. [he tends to do the opposite]

A doctor?

[Billy looks hopeful. As one of the few (sometimes only) people working with the medical data point, he's very eager to see someone who might actually know what they're doing.]

And uh- I would avoid the hole.

[Ezra deflates, with a muttered-] Karabast.

Yeah, that's about what we've got around here. Myself and the other Jedi can, um, stabilize? Direct energy to accelerate healing? But if someone got really, really sick or hurt-

We've been lucky so far.

Heh, boy do I know.

[He's broken his legs before making crazier jumps. Even midair jumps couldn't save you from gravity if you found yourself up too high.]

Nice meeting you too, Doc. Name's Cayde. Were you trying to freehand it?

[There's a slight look of amusement at that, seeing as where he's found the Doctor at.]

Not a good sign. You think they'd to better to kidnap a more diverse group of people.

[but then he wasn't inclined to feel charitable toward them to begin with]

Well you don't have to worry about me at least. Hopefully the luck will hold out.
[or he'll get really angry]

Doctor.

[the full thing, if you don't mind.]

Cayde.

And just doing some exploratory poking about, seeing what I can do. Ledge is a bit narrow here so I'm not sure if I want to continue. [though it was said in a tone as if that wasn't entirely off the table.

He rests his elbow on the ground and his chin in the palm of his hand]

You were saying?
