WARNINGS: None

I. A New Workplace | Temba Hospital

The map had led her here, across the snowy city, out in the cold in only a short dress, a leather coat, and high heeled platform shoes. Really, Tae was not often the sort to regret her fashion choices, but as she entered the hospital, shivering, she was already mentally aching for any of her pairs of leggings to help. And socks. Oh her kingdom for socks.

For now, though, she walked slowly through the hospital the map on the communicator had led her to. Even now she had it in hand, taking notes.

"Could use a couch for the waiting room. Chairs are too uncomfortable."

Then she moved down the hall and through a door, inspecting an actual exam room. This earned some nods and more notes. And, with time, she entered something that made her pause, lowering her communicator, to stare.

"Well well, somehow I wasn't expecting a proper lab in a place like this," she said, and yes, she was almost cooing as she looked at some of the machines in here. "It's almost like someone was preparing for me."

II. Temporary Residence | Temba Hotel

"These stairs are ridiculous," Tae grumbled as she made her way carefully up the stairs from the lobby of the hotel. "Who lived in this place, seven foot tall people? Ridiculous."

Even with her heels these stairs were definitely going to work out her legs some. That was, in its own way, a good thing. Tae had always been proud of her legs, but even this was ridiculous.

"And there's not even a subway to get around. How can people even consider this as a reasonable city for a supposedly advanced species?"

III. What's This Do? | Whale Comb Sent Her

Research was important in a situation like this, and Tae had done her research. She'd gone back through the social network here, something like a forum system she thought. Which didn't matter so much as learning the important thing which was that there was supposedly a device that could be used to synthesize other devices. It was that knowledge that brought Tae here today.

And of course she hadn't tried to interact with the machine yet, paused as she was in looking at the way it appeared.

"Seems like someone is stuck in victorian era sci-fi styles. I wasn't expecting a steam-punk horror here."

Perhaps he should find someone good at patching things. But for now she is just focusing on what she's got to do.

"What else am I supposed to be? Panicking? Fainting? I'm no damsel. What I am is a doctor, and if I'm going to be stuck here, I have to be doing something. I'm qualified to do this, and according to that man Felwinter, I'm the only one who can do this."

So why not be a doctor?

It's a fair point, and Eddie nods, brow furrowing as he mentally runs through his own skills and can't exactly see a need he can fill in this place. Not a huuuuge call for a trailer trash, drug dealing, third-go-round highschool senior freak back home either.

"...it's pretty bad ass," he offers with an approving smile.

"I don't disagree," she says as she goes through the process of cleaning, binding, seeking the vein out. He's been annoying enough that she doesn't give him a count down, she just gets the needle in to start drawing blood.

"I'm going to take three vials. After this you are to sit around for a few minutes to rest. Then I'll see you out. Go to the diner and have a full meal. If there is citrus available, go for it. Otherwise, meats will help. If you feel unwell at any point after this, contact me."
