Hey. So my name is Dr. Nathaniel Heywood, but most people just call me Nate. I'm a historian, not a medical doctor, so if that's something you need, I probably can't help you much there. But if you ever want some good trivia about different period's in Earth's history, I'm your man.

Anyway. That's not this is about. I have a question. So it seems like our powers from home don't work here, and we have cool new powers instead which you know, is cool and all, but say if some of your abilities back home had neutralized a disease you had struggled with most of your life back home -- would you find yourself suffering from it again here?

Just, you know, asking for a hemophiliac friend of mine.

[that hemophiliac friend is himself.]

Any feedback or theories would be appreciated.

There are people who were granted healing abilities here. Your friend would be wise to get acquainted with them.

[Yeah, she's not buying that 'friend' thing one bit. But she will at least humour him and offer a helpful suggestion.]

I couldn't tell you. We can always see if my healing ability can get rid of it for your friend.

[ hmmm.

this guy will probably end up with a much better way of neutralizing his human health problem than the monkey’s-paw bullshit that Simon ended up with. which is a good thing, even if he’ll be envious if magic works. ]

How did your power work before?

Sorry, your friend’s power.

[ nailed it. i gotchu buddy ]

Okay, Nate, I'm Lorna Dane. Hi.

I've been here several months, and I'm like 99% sure we weren't brought here to die. [ Unless things went terribly south on other worlds or whatever. ] But tell your friend that I'll start a fucking war if I find out the opposite is true. Your friend should be fine, but tell them to go to one of our healers or medical doctors here. I'd offer my assistance, but my powers here don't ... help. If I had my powers from home, I could and would.

What period in Earth's history are we talking about? That you study, I mean.

Just since you seem to have had your other question answered. [And she can't really help him there.]

Hi Nate, I'm Hunk. I can't really answer the question about prior diseases...other than maybe to ask if your friend has been feeling ill or like they might be again...like familiar symptoms or something.

But I am one of the designated healers if your friend needs assistance. I'm in the kitchen most of the time while we're here.

Well, presumably there are healers here of some description. Perhaps your friend ought to seek them out.

[ 'Your friend'. Also, what is a hemophiliac? ]

What is the nature of your condition? My apologies, I haven't heard that term before.

[zaptime]

Dude, I think your friend should go to the doctor.

[No shit, Tweek.]

Uhhh, I think there are a couple around here? Or people that were doctors, at least from what I remember.

[Because odds are she hasn't wandered far unless she absolutely had to, so she's likely sitting nearby, snacking on something and helpfully adding:]

You should room with Steve. He's a good guy and he has a healing power in case you accidentally hurt yourself.
