✈ day forty two, voice
[Today, Jack sounds almost more resigned than anything else. His breach life hadn't been especially bad, and it feels kind of muddled to him now, like a dream he's trying to convince himself to forget.]
You know, before I got here, I was pretty convinced I'd already seen the weirdest things the world had to offer. And as weird as floods are, I think I'd take my chances with those over whatever that was. [He's got enough things to deal with in his own life without adopting the issues of some other-him, thanks.]
I hope your deals are worth it.

[This is something he's been sort of meaning to do for a while now, especially now that he's spending less time sulking and digging his heels in about being here and more time realizing he's been basically sitting around doing nothing for the better part of two months.
He's been here for forty two days. Might as well try to do something useful.]
I don't know how busy you guys are, but if you need an extra set of hands, I've had a lot of experience putting people back together with pretty limited resources or staff. I got my Bachelor's at Columbia, graduated early from UCLA medical school and was a spinal surgeon at St. Sebastian's in LA, if that helps.
And if it doesn't, Scott can vouch for me. [And there's a bitter part of him that's furious that they might actually take him up on that, considering all the experience he's had, all the good he's done and the pressure he's put himself under to help people.
But he knows he'd be suspicious and reluctant to hand over responsibility or control to a relative stranger, especially one in a position where he really didn't necessarily have any reason to trust them.]

But I can promise that hovering is literally the last thing I want to do. Assisting is in, like, the top five.

Then.]
Then I guess I'm willing to give it a shot.
But I meant what I said.

[Because he absolutely will walk out. He's helped people with minimal supplies and equipment before, he doesn't need an infirmary or other doctors to help. And he still doesn't care enough about most of the other people on board to actively want to help, really.]
Is there anything else we have to do to make it official?
