Eleventh Gate [Video]

Who: Jennifer Keller and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: June 22nd

[Jennifer gives a friendly smile to the camera, but then she's all business.]

Okay. For those of you who have never met me, I'm Dr. Keller, the medical officer on the Wonderduck. Firstly, to build off Allen's broadcast not so long ago about assembling first aid kits, I'd like to note that I'm free to teach lessons, too.

Secondly, the attack on the Iskaulit has made me realize- I know next to nothing about medical treatment for nonhumans. I think several of our medics are lacking in such knowledge, too. If anybody would be willing to trade notes, as it were, I'd keep paper copies to be available on request to other medics. Or if someone has any better ideas on how to gather procedures and knowledge and share and store that information, I'm willing to listen.

Thank you!

Of course. I plan on keeping it strictly paper copies if I can- I don't trust anything that's left on the computers where Atroma or God knows who else can access it. Especially since I know next to nothing about encryption. I'll make sure your name isn't attached.

It's not even that. Remember calibrations? Our comms got wiped without a second thought.

[That still disturbs him more than he wants to admit. Thank God for his handwritten journals.]

Thanks. I hope it helps, even if it's a little bit.

Yeah... there's that, too. They can peek in on anything and try to stop us from sharing what we know. Even if they have no real reason to be worried about this.

[She smiled back.]

It couldn't hurt. This whole thing with the attack on the Iskaulit kinda lit a fire under my butt.

Yeah, I can't imagine why they would, but better safe than sorry.

Jen... it's not like you could've predicted that. None of us could've. [Says the guy who's never met Winter.]

It's all part of their control thing. Making sure we know that nothing we do is safe.

[She bit her lip, her eyes gazing off to the side.]

I know. But I'm usually more on the ball than this. I don't know what's been slowing me down.

How considerate of them.

[He leans forward, trying to catch her eye even though there's screens separating them.]

Well, before Winter lost control, there was peace. We've both been here for a year, and I sure can't name any other incident that got people hurt. Not like that.

[Jennifer caught the motion and caught his eye, nodding.]

You're right. Usually the most I have to deal with are bumps and scrapes, maybe a broken bone or a cold here or there. But this was brutal.

Unfortunately. Which means this was the wake-up call we all needed.

[He hesitates,] I know I can't offer much more, but next lesson, why don't you take a look at me? Get a feel for how I'm... [not human] me?

Mmhmm. Let's just hope that this isn't a sign that Atroma's getting bored.

[She also visibly hesitated.]

... Only if you're 100% comfortable with it.

I trust you. I figure you wouldn't leak this to would-be hunters, so..... [he gives a nervous shrug] Let's give it a shot.

Never. And I have a drawer to keep confidential paper records in- I'm very careful about patient privacy. Sometimes it makes the difference between life or death for someone.

Right. I imagine HIPAA would've still been a thing for you.

In that case, I'll see you soon? We can figure out where to go from there.

Mmhmm- and we had the importance of it drilled into us in med school and in the real world.

Sounds good. You know how to get ahold of me.
