video | first
[ the video feed flickers onto the face of an older gentleman; unflattering low angle, poor lighting, eyebrows hanging heavy over his eyes and lips tightly pursed. he's wearing a nice, heavy coat over a hoodie and a t-shirt featuring a sick ass space shark, though much of the ensemble's coated in a fine yellowish dust. looks like it could use a wash.
not his main concern right now. ]
Really? [ one corner of his mouth quirks up, wry. ] Cast across time and drifting lost and alone amongst storms of raw negative energy, but you've got social networking. How very... human, I bet a human knocked this up. D'you call it Spacebook or something?
[ original dad joke, do not steal. no apology is forthcoming.
the camera swings round, losing sight of him for a second as he sets the device down on something solid. re-adjusts it until it's centered properly on his face, steady now. ]
Hel-lo, Avagi. I'm the Doctor. Yes, just the Doctor. I arrived on your quaint little space station only recently — not the worst I've encountered. Well done. Probably... well, possibly not even in the bottom ten, but I mourn for some of your equipment. Someone made off with two-thirds of your laboratory, you realize, and ohhh, the state of your computers...
[ briefly aims the camera up at one of the aforementioned storms. ] But I must say, the open-plan observation station is a bold design.
[ casually tossing topics out as he rapidly approaches the actual purpose of this broadcast. this time he points at the screen, seriously, ]
Has anyone established themselves as your de facto leader yet? I'd like to know who to ignore.
The rest of you, tell me about the Ingress as it was, and the planets you've visited. Any of them.
[ over and out. ]

[oh, the guy's gone. then he turns up later, when lúcio had just got back to work. he gets up when the doctor comes in, still wearing his skates.]
Hey, dude! An' yeah, we lucked out. People were here before, so there's a lot. It's just about gettin' it to work. I gotta learn like six new languages just to get stuff to turn on... [he nods towards the sink.] Want some water or anythin'?
no subject
[ it's really very difficult to tell, from his tone, whether he's being facetious or not.
the doctor shakes his head at the offer of water, bending down to get another look at some of the equipment on the other side of the room. asking without looking up, ]
Are you able to walk in those?
no subject
[HE'S SO PROUD OF HIS SKATES THEY TOOK SO LONG...]
I keep them on during working hours, means I can get there first if someone can't get themselves to the medibay. [he holds up his amplifier.] Along with this and my training, I could easily keep someone stable until one of the doctors shows up.
no subject
Ooooh, is that sonic?
[ he holds out a hand for it, crooking his fingers. he appreciates a good sonic thing, and that looks a lot like a sonic thing. ]
no subject
It works by soundwaves so... yeah? I guess. Careful with the trigger, if you pull it wrong it'll release a sound blast that'll... uh. Ruin a bun of stuff in here.
[he shrugs helplessly.]
I wasn't gonna weaponise it, but kill the medic is a real thing. I gotta knock people back to get away sometimes!
