[A woman comes on the video with a smile, and she's sitting in one of the lounges, looking relaxed. Well, mostly relaxed, every so often, her thumb brushes across the new mark on her palm. Following the lines of the snake eating it's own tail, she's done it so often now she can do it without looking. Her voice is normal though, despite the fidgeting.]

Hello. For those who didn't meet me yet, I'm Martha Jones, and I'm a doctor. If you've need of one, you can always come to me. [In case you don't want to see the people in the medical center is what Martha means.]

I suppose not.

[A beat.]

Perhaps you ought to call me 'Severus' instead of 'Mr. Snape'.

[For a moment, Martha is quiet, because she didn't expect the invitation to call him Severus to come this soon, if at all. Really, she had been working to resign herself to simply calling him Snape or the like, rather than giving him an honorific.

But she offered a smile and a nod of her head.]

Allright. But only if you call me Martha.
