[ Okay. He has practiced answering other people's transmissions. The machines, however foreign, are no longer a complete mystery to him and this really can't wait any longer. He's been too lax as is, really.

Still, there is an awkward stiffness to the way he addresses the network. All too aware that he's being watched and maybe he should've gone for voice, but that lacks a connection between people instead. You people and your technowonders. ]

It's come to my attention that I, uh... have some catching up to do.

I'm looking for anyone with experience in the medical profession past the year 1790 that would be willing to bring me up to speed, in a way. As this would be a great favor to ask, I am of course willing to compensate through the exchange of knowledge or... something else, should that not be sufficient.

( soranik can't help the eyebrow that raises. )

I would be more than happy to demonstrate some of the advances since your time. ( as she screams internally at how behind he might be. ) I run a clinic in Earth - you are more than welcome to stop by whenever you please.

[kvarterskommissarie]

[ Trust me, he's doing a fair bit of screaming himself. ] Really? I live in that sector. Perhaps I'll stop by sooner rather than later.

EA-3B - if I am not available, simply ask for me and Lanterns Rayner or Gardner will be able to get in touch.

[kvarterskommissarie]

Thank you, I will make sure to do so. Mamsell Natu, you have my gratitude.

( ooc| would you like to handwave or log? i'm fine with both! )

It is nothing, as it is always a pleasure to meet another medical professional.

[kvarterskommissarie]

(( ooc: We can log, if you don't mind! ))

Are there many of us here? I've been informed of one other and a Monsieur Wayne told me about a... pharmaceutical company?

[onefouroneseven]

( ooc| I do not! i've got a catch all log here if you want to throw up a threadstarter or i can write one )

One or two, although we all have our own different skills and levels of experience. And that is correct - his own company - that produces some basic necessities for the foreigner population.

( soranik isn't on the best terms with one bruce wayne - polite indifference might be a more apt term for it. )

[kvarterskommissarie]

(( ooc: I will hop right to it! ))

A generous endeavour, one would think..? [ Gently prying. First impressions can be deceiving. ]

I have no doubt his intentions are pure, I simply wish for medicine to be conducted by those who do not have to risk bankruptcy or making a profit.

( There's also an underlying tension between her and Wayne that Soranik can sense, but not identify ( spoilers: it's because batman doesn't like green lanterns, least of all ones from the same planet as a notorious big bad ). It's curious, but she doesn't care much since she got what she needed from him. )

That would be the ideal, would it not... [ Soft sigh. ] Unfortunately, monetary means seem to be at the core of almost everything we do, with or without pure intentions.

[onefouroneseven]

That or out of a desire for power. I am lucky that money is not, by and large, a concern for me.

( she just wants to help people, and is glad that her occupation as a green lantern allows her to do that. )

[kvarterskommissarie]

I've been lucky in that aspect to, at least back home. I do fear that may not be the case here... although I would like to avoid charging for my services, if possible.

[ May possibly be angling for advice regarding that. ]

[onefouroneseven]

( and she's more than willing to help, and there's a hint of a smile for a second at his statement. )

Something that I can only agree with. There are those that will offer donations in exchange - not many, but it is enough.

[kvarterskommissarie]

That is a relief to hear. I have no ambition of becoming a wealthy man, as long as I get by I'm happy to be left to my work.
