[here, have a video. It's a smiling, pleasant-looking man in his mid thirties. He has the calm air of someone who has practiced saying this into the camera a few times.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Jarod DiCaprio, and I've recently taken post on board this ship along with a few new wardens. I'll begin serving on board staring just about---[he looks at his watch]---now. That's a good time to start, I think.

I look forward to meeting everyone, and I hope to hear from you soon.

I can be.

[toldastory]

You can be?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I have an extensive surgical and emergency medical background, if you'd like me to write up a resume.

I studied at Oxford for a few years, but thought the medical field in Great Britain would be too difficult to utilize in an American field and transferred to John's Hopkins during my final round as an intern.

[toldastory]

Are you British? I did my training at Royal Hope.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I was born in Pennsicola. My father was stationed just outside of London for most of my life.

Private.

[toldastory]

So I hear you haven't had any formal medical training..?

[the smile fades. He's not sure how she worked it out, but he's got some guesses]

I am a doctor. I've been a heart surgeon, I've been an EMT, I've been a neurologist. Formal, no. Training, yes.

How does that work? [Martha is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt more than other people, because of the things she's seen.]

[considers carefully] You know how when you read a book, your brain automatically cuts out insignificant words? 'It', 'And', 'The'. Most of the time, your brain even cuts out the middle of words, filling it in with what you automatically recognize.

Me, I see everything. Remember everything.

[toldastory]

And then you put that into practice?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

You need a doctor from Pennsicola who studied at Oxford? I can be that. An EMT worker from New York? I can be that, too.

I want to help here, Dr. Jones. My---abilities aren't public knowledge. But I can be the person you need.

[private]

[toldastory]

You can just be anyone you want to be?

Very useful around an infirmary.

[toldastory]

Denise is a doctor in the infirmary too, you should know that.

Martha, this dude's mentioned in my inmate's file. Some organization fucked with his head as a kid and now he can imitate people really well, or something. Long story short, he's not a doctor.

private

[toldastory]

Does he have medical training?

private

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Far as I know? Nah. He just fakes it really well. Every word he's said to you so far is a flat-out lie.

Re: private

[toldastory]

Bloody hell. I hate liars.

private

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. Plus he's gonna try getting around me to Parker whenever he feels like it. I'm gonna beat his face in if he doesn't learn fast.

private

[toldastory]

Bloody hell, it's someone from her world. Oi. Well, if you need my help, lemme know, Denise.

Re: private

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. I might need you to stitch up his face later, so be ready for that.

Re: private

[toldastory]

Denise, violence doesn't solve anything.

Re: private

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

It's worked out pretty great for me so far.

Re: private

[toldastory]

Denise, it really doesn't.

Re: private

If he hurts her, I'll hurt him back. Period.
