[The feed clicks on to show Simon back in his quarters, which are sparsely decorated and pretty small, all things considered, although most of what you're seeing is just the wall behind him.

He's well dressed, polite, and speaks formally, and has spent a fair amount of time thinking over exactly what he wants to say about himself, because he can't just announce to everyone that he's been on the run, but he needs to assert that he
is a medical professional, and they're not handing their infirmary over to someone who has no idea what he's doing. Anyone who's been in the infirmary lately might have seen Merlin showing him around.]

My name is Simon Tam. I was a trauma surgeon, but I've been working as a medic on a transport ship for the last few months because I [And here's where the real lie is kicking in, because while he doesn't want it to sound like he was fired for malpractice or something like that, he also doesn't want to come out and explain the whole thing to a bunch of strangers. Who knows who else is on the ship?] needed a change in scenery. I'll be working here as a warden for the foreseeable future, and I'll be lending a hand in the infirmary.

Merlin's already informed me of usual proceedings here, and - I'm sorry to be the one telling everyone this - but Doctor McCoy's vanished? [It almost sounds like he's asking if that's the correct term to use, here.] As in he's left the Barge unexpectedly. Merlin said that happens often, here.

[Which Simon doesn't like the sound of AT ALL, but any discomfort is brief and quickly leaves his expression.]

I - we don't know if he'll be back, but in the mean time, if anyone has any medical issues or questions, come find one of us. Or ask me, here.

Jane. She's, um... [But it was one thing to talk about this stuff with McCoy: even if the guy was a dick sometimes, even if they fought a lot, he knew him, trusted him. This dude looks barely older than Jesse, and it's weird. He trails off, shifting.] Well, anyways.

Buprenorphine-naloxone. [He fumbles a little on the pronunciation, but he says it with certainty anyway, because he knows that's the right name. This is the sort of thing he remembers. And now he squints back at the screen curiously, waiting to see if Simon has a reaction to that.]

[It's a test, and you passed, Simon. Something small relaxes in Jesse's posture.] I mean, I don't think she exactly loves it, but she can manage. She's tough.

It's not like she's got a lot of choice out here, yo.
