[It's House's voice that comes through the tablet, but his accent and tone are markedly different. Rather than the harsh and sneering Jersey boy, there's something softer and he has a far more generic American accent with some vaguely French and Arabic inflections.]

Captain's Log, Stardate 197005.3. I've escaped Sinai and crash-landed on a mysterious snow planet. There are monsters here according to the locals. And lots of dead bodies. I must have been captured when I crashed. I was in a body bag--it was pretty creepy, but cool! Maybe they thought I was dead. The Vulcan resurrection hypo must be doing its work... I'm really old for some reason, though. Could be a disguise.

Trying to get in contact with Mo... with Lieutenant Blythe, but dialing her communicator isn't working. Suspect sub-spatial interference from the sinister General John and his entourage.

Anyway, I found a graveyard outside the nearby chapel--What gods could these people worship? The Prime Directive forbids me from interfering, whatever it is, of course. They basically look like Christians, though, which is kind of boring. No. Delete that last sentence, computer. Their god's a giant cross. That's burning with light. It's probably symbolic of something. I'll have to find the nearest library and study up on their history.

But first I'm doing some rubbings on the graves. The visible inscriptions have faded away, but I have some paper and crayons. I don't know what happened to my charcoal... but this works, too. I'll add to this log once I have more. Over and out!

Thank you, ma'am. I'm going to meet up with a guy who has a lot of cool piercings so we can get food at the convenience store. He's going to teach me how to be a druid! I'm feeling kind of sick, but I'll manage. I just need to get in out of the cold.

[Maybe. He's not sure about the pills Dr. Strange told him to take.]

[He must be talking about @hexappeal. She doesn't really know the man, but if he's trying to help House, he's probably as good a candidate as anyone to travel with, even if she's not sure he can actually teach House how to be a druid.

She's a little more worried about that mention of feeling sick.] That's a good idea. Before you take your, uh... Druid lessons, though, you should try to eat and drink a little bit. If you keep feeling sick, it'd be best to tell me or one of the other doctors. [Preferably Doctor Strange, but she hasn't seen any messages from him to House, so maybe it's better not to mention his name...]

There are a lot of ways to get sick in weather like this, so just be careful. I'm sure the guy with the cool piercings will look out for you.

I know. I've got a bunch of layers and gloves and stuff so I won't catch frostbite. I've even got a blanket I can tie like a cloak! [It's pretty cool, and makes him feel a little like a superhero with it flapping in the wind. Although, the blanket looks quite ragged.]

Do you have someone looking out for you? I know you said you're a nurse, but it's better not to be alone here in case something goes wrong, right?
