[Network Video]

[For those who might recognize it, the video starts in Tae's personal office. There are a few machines beeping and a pile of paper in front of her that is covered by clipboards to prevent them from being read. And her face...

Her expression is very grave.]

Consider this an official request for individuals to report to the hospital who their preferred contact in case of emergencies is. Those closest to them they wish to have appraised of anything that might befall them. I understand this is a rather mercurial sort of issue to face given the fact that our presence here is sometimes fleeting, but it is a vital step.

[The woman sighs, fingers coming up to tug lightly at her hair.]

Which is, I suppose, my way of announcing we have experienced another attack akin to the one that occurred while I was holed up with Misters Stark and Sims. One Robin Buckley is currently under my care for her injuries, but I expect a full recovery. If you are a friend of hers, I encourage a visit for emotional support.



Additionally, in light of the attack and the young woman's survival but expected slower recovery, I am putting in a request to our general populous. I highly encourage individuals moving about after dark to move in parties of a minimum of three for safety.

Secondly, I would like to encourage those of you experienced with any form of security or combat work consider dedicating some hours at night to hospital security while Miss Buckley is recovering. While most of my companions are more than capable of providing security for the building during the day, they do require sleep. So some additional support in evenings would be appreciated. Preferably in pairs.

My office. I could send directions. I assume your arrival marks you as a friend of Miss Buckley. Would that be correct?

[madginger]

Correct, yes.

Please do. I'll stop by before I visit Robin.

[butterfly_kiss]

Sounds like a good plan. She hasn't had many visitors yet. If there's anything in her room you think she might feel more comfortable having around, maybe bring it by.

[madginger]

Oh... That's a good idea. I'll grab something.

Do you have any restrictions on what we can bring in?

[butterfly_kiss]

There are no restrictions at this time. Except for alcohol. And there is no smoking in the hospital rooms.

[madginger]

I don't like either of those things, so you don't have to worry about that.

[butterfly_kiss]

That's a relief. I've had to deal with too many smokers.

[madginger]

In a hospital?

[ Look, people smoke in all sorts of places in the time she's from, but a hospital? That should be common sense not to, right? ]

[butterfly_kiss]

Yes. It's just maddening.

[madginger]

If I catch anyone smoking, I'll douse them with water.

[butterfly_kiss]

See, I like you.

[madginger]

Good, because I'm liking the fact Robin is in your care.

[butterfly_kiss]

I'm glad someone is willing to have a measure of faith in me. Thank you.

[madginger]

I know we just met, but you're blunt, so someone I can understand and relate to. And you're rational and caring. I can't think of anyone better I want my friends in the hands of.

[butterfly_kiss]

[Well damn, she's definitely liking this kid.]

Not many people accuse me of being caring. But I'll take care of her.

[madginger]

Pretty sure you are.

And thank you.

[butterfly_kiss]

[She is. She's just very good at hiding it. Her own heart is quite the fragile thing, and as a doctor in her field that often meant shielding it.]

You're very welcome.
