What about you, then?

private audio

[oh_negative]

Sure. I don't see why not. [He's not sure exactly what he's signing up for given the nature of this place, but he's Wilson. Of course he's not going to turn down an offer to help out.]

private audio

[devoutish]

Yeah? I'll keep you in mind, then. I've recovered from a nasty bout of dehydration, and my ills are small these days. A touch of MN poisoning, a touch of sciatica.

private audio

[oh_negative]

Hm. Well glad to hear you've recovered. MN poisoning... That, I'm not familiar with. I assume it's another one of the countless benefits of our being here?

private audio

[devoutish]

Symptoms - weariness, coughing, bit of a fever. That's so far.

private audio (forever late I'M SORRY wilson is a slow reader i guess)

[oh_negative]

I see... I've just found it in the survival guide. So it's caused by those nanomachines, "NIMA" or whatever it's called, and that's all we know, correct? [He sighs.] That's not spectacularly helpful.

private audio (no worries!)

[devoutish]

No, it's not, isn't it. And it's all just fucking conjecture.

private audio

[oh_negative]

Great. Great.

[On the bright side, Wilson doesn't feel sick himself. At least, not yet. The symptoms must be caused by prolonged exposure, then. Is House sick too?]

Not that I doubt your judgment, but how do we know those symptoms are caused by MN poisoning? Fatigue, coughing, fever... Those could be caused by a number of diseases.

private audio

[devoutish]

I'm not the only one who's experienced them. You may want to talk to Dr. Watson about this; he's the one who told me about it.

private audio

[oh_negative]

Oh, excellent. Thanks for the tip. I will. [It'd be good to talk to another doctor about this sort of thing... A doctor that isn't House.]

private audio

[devoutish]

Fucking crawling with doctors, this place. Not a bad thing, eh?

private audio

[oh_negative]

There does seem to be a surprising number of us, but yes, I suppose there are worse things to have in abundance. Do you know much about the other doctors?

private audio

[devoutish]

Some of 'em, yeah. Who are you curious about?

private audio

[oh_negative]

How about this Watson fellow?

private audio

[devoutish]

He's a nosy git from your time. Army captain. Not a bad doctor, but he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.

private audio

[oh_negative]

Oh, was he a military doctor? I suppose that must come with some useful skills.

private audio

[devoutish]

I think he worked at a hospital before he came here.

private audio

[oh_negative]

I see. [He pauses.] How about that Luna? She's the only other doctor I've spoken to aside from House.

private audio

[devoutish]

[He switches to text for a moment, just to drop a link.]

link

You tell me, mate.

private audio

[oh_negative]

[...

Well, that was certainly enlightening.]

She's a robot? And... Are they talking about Quark? [Wilson doesn't exactly have a dog in this fight, at least not yet, but boy, he sure feels like he does.]

private audio

[devoutish]

They are, yeah. And she is.

private audio

[oh_negative]

Well, House isn't wrong. She's a damned good liar. Do you think she's actually a mole?

private audio

[devoutish]

No fucking idea. I wouldn't put much stock in Robert Miller's words, either.

private audio

[oh_negative]

And who's that one, again?

private audio

[devoutish]

The man who ran that set-up you saw us all talking about there. Trapping us underground in groups, setting us up for competition. Here.

[He links Wilson to the broadcast described here.]
