caduceusoncall: (Doctor Ziegler)

[It's an exciting day for the wandering doctor. Today, the outpost has given her a tent and an adjacent half-collapsed shack to live in and work from. Two months of hopping in and out of the cities, seeking inns and hotels and motels everywhere she went. Two months since she was thrown head first into the Seven-Fold City. She settles down at her new "desk", a recently bleach-scrubbed plastic table, and props her CALL device up on some books.

The screen flickers to life, and the face of a plain-clothes Angela Ziegler is made public. She clears her throat and begins, in a distinct German accent:]


Hello! Some of you may recognize me already but for those of you who don't, this will be half introductory and half informative. I am fairly new to this world - I've only been here for...two months? Maybe a little less. I have extensive training as a field medic and surgeon, so I have been traveling from city to city and offering my aid. You may call me Doctor Ziegler...or Mercy.

[She hesitates before saying her old call sign. Does it make her Overwatch again to use that name? No, she decides. It's who she is and it's a name she'll remember to respond to automatically. She squares her shoulders and looks straight into the camera.]


This is an announcement to let any of my previous patients, or future patients I suppose, know that I am now officially set up in the Outpost. I am reachable at any time through this device, this network, or by in-person visits to my station. Should I be absent on a call in a different city, contact me digitally. If you are not able to do so, please ask someone near my station to contact me for you.

[A bit redundant perhaps. Her shoulders relax and her smile softens. She says one last thing before she reaches out to turn the camera off. A gentle, motherly voice. A blessing.]


Stay safe, stay healthy. I am with you.

[ She'd looked nervous the last time. This time, she practically looks like she wants to scream, though less due to fear. This is more aggravation. After all, guess who gets to be the face of the company at the moment? GUESS WHO GETS TO LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT as she makes this address? THIS lady. ]

So. It has... come to our attention that a number [ the teleprompter said 'a large number' but she's sure as hell not saying that, no way ] of CALL devices have been removed from McAran properties and distributed throughout the multiverse, possibly to... unsavory characters. Thankfully, we've recently installed new safeguards which will make it much harder for people to access the Seven-Fold City itself through our devices without specific device keys. We've limited the production of these keys to prevent this kind of blatant theft and pirating and we are, of course, on the case to tracking down Yo- [she pauses, clearly having gone off script]

The culprit.

These CALL device users will have access to SOME features, such as this CALL network and the use of the camera, web-browser, and other such apps, but we urge any current CALL device users who are concerned about security to use the designated HERO network for any sensitive communications.

Thank you for your understanding and your patience as we work through this difficult time.

 [John Connor is busy exploring the new call device he had received,looking it over several times and getting used to the device and it's apps. ]

[He turns toward the camera on his phone and begins to speak]

This is John Connor, Leader of the Resistance against Skynet.

Where and what time am I at?

I have a war against Skynet to get back to.
