Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

The famous Steve. Thanks for getting in touch.

[ everyone's told him about you ok. thanks for making this easy!! ]

Nothing, ideally. I had a kind of infection before I woke up here. The symptoms are gone, but I need to know if it left anything behind.

[ "Steve"

going to ignore that. for the time being. ]

I won't be able to do anything for you scan-wise until you're liberated from the underground but I can take some samples and I'll test bloods.

I'm a neurosurgeon, by the way. What kind of infection?

[ please answer his original question, thanks. ]

[ wow he sure does sound like a surgeon (ie: mean). and he could go for anon, but he hasn't yet and he honestly doesn't care. hiding it is kind of the opposite of the point. ]

As soon as I can get out of here without causing trouble, then.

It's an alien parasite that connects to the brain stem and infects the rest of the body from there. Properties are kind of similar to plasma. I wish I could tell you more, but I'm honestly not a bio guy.

[ oh... good... ]

Great, love an alien parasite. We'll see what we can find as soon as you're free, check your bloods in the meantime.

I can come by the safehouse tomorrow. Who will I be looking for?

They ARE lovable.

6', dirty blonde hair, tasteful stubble, stunning blue eyes.

[ short pause. ]

Or just ask for Johnny Jaqobis. And thanks.
