001 [video]

[Armand found his clothes and the communicator and his way as far as the base of the ramp exiting the ship. The utter unfamiliarity of the landscape hit him hard, and he didn't make it much further yet. So he fiddles with the device until his fingers find the combination he wants, though he has no idea why he knows it.

The tip of his nose is already red from the cold. He speaks with a noticeable French accent, and his voice is pleasant and cheerful, at least for the moment.]

I'm game if someone wants to tell me the trick. This is hardly England, nor France either. And it wasn't this cold last I knew.

[A pause, as he looks around yet again. He's not wearing a jacket over his shirt and waistcoat. Apparently he didn't have one with him when he was spirited from there to here.]

I'd go back inside, but it doesn't seem hospitable in there. I can see a city, but it looks a fair way off to walk. Is that where I should go?

Has anyone seen or heard of Sir Percy Blakeney or Marguerite St.--I mean Lady Blakeney? If you have, could you tell them I've been found though I don't know how I was lost this time? It's not my fault, anyway. I'm Armand. St. Just, that is. Margot's my sister.

The short of it is that I'm cold, and if I should just go back inside for a bit, I will, but I'm hoping to hear of a better alternative.

Do you live with everyone else? [He knows it isn't most people who live in the Flop, but he doesn't know the division.]

Keep a few possessions there. Generally sleep at hospital.

There's a hospital?

Supplies limited, but facilities [sniff] passable.

Recent plague.

[And since he does have some degree of bedside manner and realizes the newcomer is likely to be concerned]

Already vaccinated in pod.

Are people still suffering? [His anxiety about his own safety was only partially relieved because he didn't know what a vaccination was.] What's 'vaccinated' mean?

Vaccination preventative treatment to avert infection. Very effective. Few patients remain, treatment highly effective.

That's amazing. [Granted, he doesn't know what kind of plague, but either smallpox or the Black Death come to mind for what he's thinking.]

I had no idea science could lead to such wonderful things!

[Funny story about the Black Death...]

Very useful. Significant improvement in life expectancies.

Many here unfamiliar with advancements.

[He's trying to be reassuring. He's already confused most of them]

I'll take your word for it.

Is there anything else I might need to worry about? Like the water or anything like that?

Water potable. More damaged buildings lacking in plumbing but can be rebuilt.

[Anything else...]

Predators in forest.

Good. I'd heard about the wild animals.

Thank you.
