( 'Trapped' was a word that Joan was not particularly pleased to hear. Never, in all the cases that she has worked, did being trapped have a good outcome. Victims were trapped. If she were a victim - if all these people were victims - who were they a victim of? What was the motivation behind it all? )

Look, I just got here and thought I'd ask a few things on here.

( She hadn't wanted to ask the others that brought her to where she'd be staying. Usually trusting her instincts, she had been patient about getting more helpful answers. )

Could anyone point me in the direction of the law enforcement around here? Or any type of hospital for that matter?

( Best to start with what she knew best. Getting to see how people were treated when they broke the law or if they were injured might prove to be useful. )

I'm Joan, by the way. Joan Watson.

Hi, Joan. My name's Shepard.

What others have said is true - if it's work you're looking for, one of the foreigner-run clinics is your best bet. The local police force doesn't hire us, for the most part.

And, frankly, we need as many medical professionals as we can get.

( she was concerned at that last statement, wondering if there was anything that merited needing more than usual. )

I don't really practice medicine, at least not anymore. I'll try and help out in any way I can.

Has anything happened recently? Seems like more doctors are in demand here.

Nothing major recently - but I don't expect it to be quiet for long. The official story is that we've been brought here to fight some kind of war, and the longer we're here, the more obvious it becomes that that's... probably accurate.

A war? ( the prospect seemed a bit ridiculous, given they were on top of a giant turtle. ) Is that even possible, given what we're all on top of? And who would the war be with?

Seems so. Didn't get the welcoming committee's packet? It's kind of a long story. But we've already dealt with zombie attacks, and some kind of... electrical possession.

Guess I missed the memo. ( the longer she was here, the more it was harder to believe some of the things that had happened. ) How does everyone even cope with things like this happening?

[That gets a thoughtful look from Shepard.] In my experience? People are resilient. Adaptable. They constantly surprise you, what they can deal with.

I guess that's true. ( she could say the same about where she's from. living in new york was all about adaptability. she had seen amazing recoveries from addiction ) How have you held up through all of it?

I've seen a hell of a lot worse. If anything, I'm just trying not to go stir-crazy stuck here all the time.

Worse than this? If you don't mind my asking, where?

Ah, Earth. The milky way. All over, really. It'd probably be more helpful to say when, which is the 22nd century.
