Hi, everyone. My name's Rebecca.
[ The video opens on a small, homey apartment, filled with plants and books. Rebecca sits at a small piano, a mug of coffee steaming by her side. She looks...tired, really. It's been a difficult few weeks.
But that's no reason not to keep trying. ]
I was just wondering...what's the state of medicine like in your world? I had thought we were on the cutting-edge back home, but with everything I've seen here, you realise just how far we have to go. Considering everything that happens to us so regularly here, it can be really easy to lose track of your health.
I'm a field medic and a chemist, so I'd never call myself a doctor, but I still wanted to extend an offer to everybody: if you need someone to patch you up or do a quick check-up, call me. If you need medicine - over-the-counter stuff, obviously, not anything serious - then I'll run it over or get someone to deliver it to you. Just... [ She gives a weak smile. ] I want to help a little more, and I don't think being okay with a handgun really holds up against everything others can do, you know?
...anyway, I'm rambling. [ She looks down, playing an idle few bars of a melody. ] I've been staying in a lot. Watching old Disney movies, mostly, and I ended up working on this...
[ She adjusts the sheet music and sets her fingers in position. What follows is a nice little rendition with very few errors. Being able to just concentrate on something helps, a lot. Once it's done, she flashes a quick, embarrassed smile at the camera, then leans over and shuts it off. ]

[ She hums under her breath, thoughtful. ]
You never really think about how amazing these things are, that we consider so simple. It must be the same with chroma. As long as whatever is happening keeps working, it might be best to just not worry about it.

[ Well, aside from 'greedy', but she doesn't want to start an argument. ]
This place feels like it's centuries in the future because of all their tech, doesn't it? Even knowing all that, it's hard to get used to it.

It's the magic and supernatural that's pretty hard for me to accept. I'm used to science, of being able to explain what I see. That's not happening here. If I told somebody that I've seen a dragon back in New York, I'd be put away.
