one: text -> video

[clammedup]

[this starts off as text because there is a keyboard and Harry knows how to type.]

Right, I've read the pamphlets near that blasted machine, but can someone please explain to me why I was chosen? I'm hardly a hero, you'll want someone more along the Doctor's lines th

[the text switches off, as Harry accidentally manages to nudge it to video. you get a close-up of Harry, looking down at they keyboard and typing in a decidedly hunt-and-peck manner before he notices that the camera is on.]

Oh! Why hello there...I didn't know they made cameras this small. [a pause while he stares at the camera-then smiles slightly.] Anyway chaps, my name's Harry Sullivan, formerly of the Royal Navy now working with UNIT. I don't suppose any of you have seen a man called Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart around here, have you?

Nothing that I couldn't have done better back home.

So what the fuck are you planning on doing? Not like you can join back up with the fucking navy.

[clammedup]

Well, I was a doctor back home. Perhaps I can see if there are any places where I could at least volunteer? I doubt many people would accept that my medical license was back in another dimension.

[bloodshadow]

Shit, that's why this place sucks so fucking much. I had a club back home, at least until my dumbass sister wrecked it. If I wanna open one here, I gotta start all over.

[clammedup]

Is your sister...ah, like you? [aka an alien.]

[bloodshadow]

"Like me?" The fuck's that supposed to mean?

I mean, I guess so, except for the huge stick up her ass.

[clammedup]

Well, you're an alien, aren't you?

[bloodshadow]

Yeah, I'm a Thulian. Not used to aliens or something?

[clammedup]

Oh, no, I've met more aliens than your average Briton. Though, I don't think I've ever met a Thulian before.

[bloodshadow]

Yeah, well, Thule's a whole other dimension. It's not like we can just hop in a fucking spaceship and get here.

[clammedup]

If you don't mind my asking, what's it like?

[bloodshadow]

For one thing, it's so advanced it makes humans look like cavepeople.

[clammedup]

Care to tell me more?

[bloodshadow]

My parents have been waging this bullshit war since forever over who gets to control Thule. Thulians are conquerors by nature, but it's gotten pretty fucking stupid.

[clammedup]

[Harry sighed, frowning slightly.] I'm terribly sorry. Most wars that last over a certain amount of time tend to devolve into ridiculousness.
