[After a couple of weeks of trying to deal with the repercussions of babby's first tier 2 Echo on his own, here we have a call for help.]

We have shrinks, right? Therapists? I could stand to talk to someone.

[a pause.]

Dr. Solus, or anyone else with the clinic - questions. Send me a private response, I don't wanna voice this in the open.

[yeah so he doesn't want people knowing specific shit that's going wrong with him. or even that there's necessarily something wrong. what of it.]

Before I forget, welcome aboard to our new arrivals. Enjoy the conspiracy fun, children.

Raul, man - I'm no therapist, but I always got an ear open if you need it.

Appreciate it, Wally.

[and a quick deflect]

Right now, I'm a little more worried about your situation. Have you talked to any of the other club members in the police? I know there's at least one.

No problem, bro.

[It's super-effective!]

Just Naomi so far - and I guess if Tim counts with his interning. Kinda worried more about him than myself, but I'm watching my back.

[YES, VICTORY.]

Don't know them. Still, it's something. Kaburagi's on the network too, try reaching out to him.

Anyway, good to hear it. If you need a hand, just contact me. Still have my cell?

Tim just, uh. 'Woke up', for lack of a better term.

Heck, I may just put out an open thing for those of us involved with the force. Little meet'n'greet of sorts so we know who's on the level.

Yeah, I still got you handy. Will-do.

I feel like we're getting more of those by the day.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Gives us an idea of our resources, too.

Thank you?

Welcome. Alien invasions and past lives, the gifts that just keep on giving.

Still, conspiracies? Isn't that going a little too far?

Why? It's what's happening. Welcome to the desert of the now, population: alien snakedog conspiracy.

I don't know, when I think conspiracy theories, I think of people in tin foil hats spelling out the apocalypse. Unless there are some of those within the numbers, which--well, there probably are, aren't there--doesn't seem like most of the people I've talked to, at least. What I'm saying is that it's a bit strong language, don't you think?

You've got a point there. Still, calling it that helps keep things... light, I guess. It's serious, there's no doubt of that, but...

I'm not about to suggest it as a serious term for what we're dealing with here, but it gets the point across.

I don't know, I've never been a fan of calling something what it isn't, but I have a more scientific look at life than most, I guess.

I believe I'm currently the network's only mental health specialist. I'm a psychiatrist.

[He'll add a bit of text here. It's contact information: his network number, a couple of phone numbers, and his office location.]

We can discuss things however you'd be most comfortable.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[and he copies that somewhere...]

I'd prefer to meet face-to-face, if it's the same to you - when are you available?

I was actually working a bit late tonight...if you need to, you can come in now.

[he looks at the clock...yeah, he's not going back to work at the Lounge until tomorrow night, and it's still pretty early in the evening. why not.]

I'll be there as soon as I can. Thank you for this.

You're quite welcome. It's the best way I've found to help in all of this.

[And he'll be waiting at his office whenever Raul gets there.]

Am listening.

Can the clinic run x-rays or scans or something? I don't think the problem is anything serious anymore, but it's Echo-related and I want to know what's going on.

Certainly. Would appreciate any details you can provide beforehand, though.

For about a week after the Echo, it was a lot harder to move. Still a little bit more difficult than it was before, but I adjusted. Weighed myself at the end of the week--always do--and apparently I'd gained a little more than 100 pounds. My BMI hasn't changed, so...

I'm thinking a look at the inside might help explain it?

Certainly. Will mark you down for appointment.

I appreciate it. Really.

My schedule's usually pretty flexible before the evenings, if that helps. [thank fuck he's adjusted enough to go back to work.]

[DATE, TIME] acceptable?
