[John gets up to introduce himself. There isn't much point in hiding his identity, since he's already publicly connected with the clinic.]

Hello, I'm Dr. John Watson, and I help run the Refugee's Haven Medical Clinic. The clinic is my primary reason for coming to this meeting.

[John will be reporting the following

Unfortunate but true.

[He hesitates a moment.]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but when you said you had medical training for many species, does that include Earth humans?

Re: SPEAKERS

[neuterskrogan]

Absolutely. Human, salarian, turian, krogan, asari... well. Many species. Currently studying vogon physiology as well.

Re: SPEAKERS

[holmes_blogger]

Good. You're ahead of me there. My medical training was limited to humans, so I've had to do some catching up on alien species.

Re: SPEAKERS

[neuterskrogan]

Enjoy studying new species, personally. Like the challenge. Humans actually most genetically diverse out of familiar species. Tough to research.

Re: SPEAKERS

[holmes_blogger]

That's interesting. I've never thought of it that way.

Re: SPEAKERS

[neuterskrogan]

Specialize in genetics research, can't help but notice such things.

Re: SPEAKERS

[holmes_blogger]

Fair point.

If you like, you can come by the clinic sometime during business hours and I can give you the tour.

Re: SPEAKERS

[neuterskrogan]

Yes, would like that very much. Can work long hours as well.

Re: SPEAKERS

[thinkin_arbys]

What you need is physicians who can fight.

A simple suggestion.

Re: SPEAKERS

[holmes_blogger]

That would certainly be helpful, but I don't know how common that is. I have some experience in combat, and I know of one other doctor who does also.

Re: SPEAKERS

[thinkin_arbys]

Then count a third.

[She steps away from the wall, perhaps so she doesn't feel the need to speak so loudly.]

Re: SPEAKERS

[holmes_blogger]

You're a doctor?

Re: SPEAKERS

[thinkin_arbys]

I am. [She glances around the room, surveying the faces of all the attendees. It's a small enough number...]

A skill that can harm as easily as it can heal. If I'm correct, the Purists will know if we have abilities like this, but won't know the nature of them or be able to stop them.

If you'll recall a conversation with "Maria", doctor.

Re: SPEAKERS

[holmes_blogger]

Oh. Yes, I remember.

[He gives her a closer look, trying to put a face to the name.]

I'd welcome any help, but we'd still need to consider the conditions you gave me before, correct?

Re: SPEAKERS

[thinkin_arbys]

[No face for you, doc. Text + the anonymity of a false face for the moment...]

Not entirely. I apologize; it was deception, in part. The truth is, someone with an ability similar to mine was accosted by the Purists a few months ago. They may already know this exists, and they may or may not care.

[She looks around the room once more, then pulls a metal canister from a pouch concealed under her jacket. She appears to merely be turning it over in her hands as she speaks.]

I would like to conceal my identity to a degree, though in the confidence of this room, it may be better if I explain things fully. I will leave that up to everyone's discretion. Everything else was a half-truth or better.

In short... If they know of my ability, they know who I am. I don't want to endanger the clinic, but if something were to happen, I am confident that you will need my skills.
