Hi. I'm Clarke. You've probably seen me around. I've been helping a few of you with the injuries you got from the crash.

I'd like to take a few tests. The problem is that we don't have the means to pull it off right now, but if we can get some blood and urine, hopefully we can store it until the time comes that we can do the tests.

This might seem invasive, but this might be the best way to find out who did this to us. We were all on a pretty powerful drug. I'd like to identify that drug.

As an aside, does anyone have any guesses on how a society like this does art? My civilization wasn't this advanced, and I usually sketch in my downtime. And ... there's been a lot of that lately. There just isn't any paper around here. Or notes. Or anything like that, so it seems like a natural conclusion to try to figure out where and how that takes place. I'm assuming digital, but do our implants come into play?

Sorry, I got off into hypothesizing there.

Let me know if you're willing to pass along a sample.

They're afraid.

[ if not of them, then of what might follow them here. ]

Getting some answers will help with that too.

[strove]

You're right.

If there's anything in our bloodstreams that's changed us, that should come up, too. Honestly, I didn't think about that as much.

Do you think you could get access and equipment to run blood tests?

The bigger question is whether I'll be able to tell. I never came close to finishing my apprenticeship with my mom.

If you can't, maybe there will be someone here who can.

[ unspoken: assuming they can trust the people here to help them ]

Once I get these results back, I'll see if the technician knows anything. Assuming I can be put in touch with them.

[deployed]

Let me know if there's anything else you need us to do.

I will. You know I will.
