[ 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.

[ Sounds a little bit like Märta cranked up to eleven, to be honest. He didn't want her flirting with him either. ]

Dangerous woman. I know someone who would've liked to meet you.

[emasculates]

[-- that actually gets a laugh, what have you wrought?]

That is not something I hear often. I will take it as a compliment.

[kvarterskommissarie]

As it was intended. [ Yeah, he's smiling. Kind of proud of himself right now. ] It's... rare to find a woman such as yourself in my time.

[emasculates]

I am a rare woman in any time, so do not let my attitude colour your perceptions of the future.

[But she's pleased, and it shows.]

[kvarterskommissarie]

That much I've gathered. I can't even imagine a society where you are the norm for the women. [ Actually meant as a compliment, no matter how it sounds. ]

[emasculates]

[She snorts, amused.]

I will contact you when I have something to teach. About medicine or [her tone becomes downright flirtatious] - other areas you might find yourself lacking.

[ Whoa there. Did she just..? Well then. He's not one to turn down an advance like that, especially not since he kind of likes her. It's not like Magdalena is around and even if she was, she's still married. Not something he's going to think about though so... okay. Let's see where this goes. ]

Then I shall look forward to our next conversation.

[emasculates]

Mm.

[And she disconnects.]
