[British accent. Sounds youngish and a little bit high and mighty.]

I don't want to be a superhero. What is more: I'm not going to be a superhero. I am perfectly content to work to help reestablish safety in the City, but I won't fight. That is hardly going to help anyone, not in the long term. He cannot expect me to discard everything that I've believed in all my life after he kidnaps me from—

I am not a soldier, and I am not fighting in any man's war, even if it is against crime.

I would like to help. I hope that I can get some sort of work. Do you know if there is a hospital in the City? I suppose there would have to be one, though, if there's a good deal of crime in the city.

Oh, yeah. In a city this big? We've got a couple. There's been a lot of talk about trying to get one started up specifically for heroes, but I don't think that's gone anywhere yet.

Here, I'll send you the addresses of all the hospitals I know. Like you said, with all the crime around here, I'm sure they could you a hand.

Working in a hospital for heroes would be just like home.

[audible shudder]

It would be nice to feel useful again, though. I shouldn't like to sit about here.

I'm afraid that I'm not very good with this gadget yet. How do I open that?

It's definitely hard to just sit Some of the stuff you'll probably see over this thing-- [He cuts off, pauses as he reorganizes his thoughts.]

There are some sick people in this city, and I mean sick like psychotic. If you've got experience working in a hospital, they're going to snap you up in a second.

For the file, uh, sorry. I guess should have asked if you were used to these kind of things first. You see that little arrow thing on your screen? Move it over the text and click twice. It should open up.

[Grimly:] No different from what I've seen, I'm sure.

Well, I was just an orderly. I can't imagine that I would be much help medically, but someone's got to do the cleaning, and I'm used to it.

[Sound of fumbling and quiet murmured swearing.] Ah! There we go. Thank you.
