Martha's 2nd - Private Video to Mina - Day 97

[Martha comes up looking still haggard. She's not been sleeping well, she's worried about the Doctor and now Ned, but neither of them seem to want her help, and she needs to be doing something. So she'll talk to the resident vampire doctor.]

Hi Mina?

Someone gave me your name as the town doctor. I'm Martha.

I was actually calling to offer my services. I have a medical license and did my fellowship Royal Hope Hospital in London during the year 2008. When the scientists brought me here I was serving as a field medic during the war happening on my world, so I'm used to having little equipment to work with.

[She trails off here realizing she probably sounds too desperate. But Martha really wants to find something to do with herself.]

[Mina does not reply until after sunset. Her voice is overly posh. A London accent. But she mostly sounds puzzled.]

Martha Jones?

[She switches to audio when the other woman finally does respond.]

Um... yes, that's me. Martha Jones.

Yes. I thought I recognized your voice.

From the message a few days ago?

[Because that's the only other time she left a message on this thing. But something about the other woman's tone suggests differently.]

Message? What message?

The one I left when I woke up here...

How else would you know me?

Oh, bloody hell. One of these situations again.

We've met before, darling. A few months back. Obviously, you don't remember it.

Unfortunately, that seems to happen all the time.

A few months... [She remembers then the Doctor telling her she was here before.]

Oh.. no. That wasn't me. Or it was but it was a different me. From a different timeline I mean.

Sadly, I can claim to have a great deal of experience with these things.

I would say "Welcome to the Kore" but it seems vulgar.

I understand the sentiment though. Not much I can do at the moment about it.

Nor should you. Hardly your fault these people like to fuck with the timeline.

No. No it really isn't.

Anyway... I was calling to see about the medical situation here. Do you need another doctor? Is there even a clinic?

There is a clinic. No one is running it at the moment. A gentleman named Bruce Banner was in charge, but he seems to have disappeared.

I was told my services would not be required.

No longer required!

[Yes she does sound surprised.]

Do people not get sick or hurt here? No... don't answer that. I already know the answer. Was it another prisoner or a scientist?

No, darling. I was told my services would not be required because I'm a rather unpleasant person.

I chose to be a surgeon for a reason. No bedside manner to speak of. And people here don't take kindly to following instructions.

[A pause.]

And I am a vampire. No sense in hiding that. It's quite public knowledge.

Yes, I was told the vampire bit already. Still not too sure what to make of it to be honest. Haven't met one before. I know aliens though and they aren't all teh movies say they are.

[She has to laugh though at the rest of the woman's statement.]

I'm a surgeon too. More out of necessity than anything.

The clinic. Are you all right with me taking a look around it and making myself known as a doctor then? I don't want to step on your toes.

Truth be told, my dear, I moved most of the supplies to my kitchen. I've been treating patients on a case by case basis. I would like something a little bit more organized. The problem is that the people are a bit...stubborn.

Do remind me to ask you later about the aliens, by the by.

Yes I've noticed the stubborn bit.

[Never mind that she's one of them. Martha's been resolutely refusing to work through any bit of her past, electing instead to pay attention to fortifying her room and sleeping in snippets.]

I'm willing to organize things. Maybe people would be more willing to go to a clinic if they had a choice of medical personnel.

The real problem was getting baseline information. Absolutely everyone refused a physical examination.

Except for Pendragon. And he's a letch.

And claims to be a god, but that's beside the point.

OH goodness, gods on top of everything else?

[There's a small groan.]

Well, as much as I would like to have baseline exams, I can work without them. And who knows; maybe a fresh face will help things.

Especially yours, my dear. You are quite exquisite, as I remember.

[Hear the embarrassment in her voice.]

Oh... um... thank you Mina. I'm... just Martha. Nothing too exquisite. Just a person trying to make the world a better place.

My dear, you have no idea how rare that is.

Well, someone has to do it.

Indeed, someone does.
