PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Etraya, a few of the newest arrivals are originally from wherever we told you we're from, but before coming here we were in Etraya's sister city, Solmara. Solmara has overthrown their AI and is ruled by a woman named Alrys. She sent us here on a recon mission to steal supplies, and while some of us were considering it, upon arrival we decided not to.

I can't speak for the others, but I know for a fact if Alrys got wind of what this place is like, she'd start a war. I'm not interested, not because I'm kind and noble (I'm not) but because making two whole cities miserable would be stupid.

Aurora has been informed of everything, but in the interest of transparency I'm letting the rest of you know too.

We will be answering questions but only if they're not stupid and you're super nice about it. Keep in mind we're probably gonna get tortured then killed then tortured again for snitching. 😃❤️🥳👍🚀🦈

PS: Any magical healers out there?

(The PS is not included on the things we will be answering questions about)

[She spreads her hands in a gesture of assent.]

Run your tests, then. You have nothing if not a willing patient on your hands. Though I would like to know how your medicine differs from the ones I'm familiar with.

[She may be a willing patient – very willing, given how long and how desperately she's been trying to get the tadpole out of her head – but still one who believes in a healthy amount of skepticism, and that means learning what, exactly, he plans on using on her.]

Deal. I love hearing myself talk, I can run you through what I know.

[ She just signed up for very very dull lectures on early 2000's Earth medicine. Robert knows a lot, with a strong focus on surgery. And since at the moment he has nothing better to do, he'll get more CT scans and run basic blood panels including typing, which he figures won't work. Why would half elves have blood types?

Assuming she doesn't stop his lecturing ten minutes in, she'll come out of it knowing every step of the surgery he's planning to, it involves endoscopy through the eye socket. Robert's plan is to kill the worm and remove it in pieces, but given he doesn't understand the stupid worm, he can't really assess the risk, nor even know if stabbing it with a sharp tool would kill it. ]

Anyway, if you're fine with it I'll ask around, see if we got any other doctors who can bring more to the table.
