[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.]

[Private to Snape.]

Why'd you request me? I didn't even think you'd liked me very much.

I don't know, it might make things a bit like herding cats, don't you think?

I guess that depends on how willing they all are to be herded.

...I'm thinking that given these are people who have been treated to an impromptu vacation, the answer is 'not very.'

Being borrowed doesn't seem to make anyone very happy, so I think we're all a bit like cats right now. House cats without a choice.

[snicker]

Grumpy, cooped up cats. I wonder how long it takes before the fur starts to fly.

From what I've heard, some has already begun to.

Yeah? That doesn't sound good.

It's not that big of an area when one considers how closed we are.

Yikes. People are stepping on each other's toes, huh?

It seems like it, unfortunately.

I guess that's kind of inevitable, considering.

But still unfortunate. Maybe you'll be busier than you expected, Doctor Martha.

[grin]

Just Martha, please. And I don't expect to be, not yet. I mean, I haven't earned people's trust any more that the facilities here have.

Well, you do have the added benefit of not being on the staff of kidnappers, so...

This is true. I'm going with the term "borrowed" though, until we figure out what's really going on here.

Do you think it's something beyod what we've been told?

I think there almost always is.

That's what I like to see. Some good old fashioned optimism.

[grin]

[Martha just grins back.]

Well, someone has to have some, yeah?

[Oh, Molly likes you.]

So, have you started snooping yet?

Of course I have. I haven't found anything yet, though.

[Molly makes a face.]

I guess we'll have to keep looking then, won't we?

Of course. I can't imagine stopping.
