An Introduction

Dr. Goggins,

Why, of course a wrench is an instrument for improvement of mechanisms. There are a great number of things one encounters in Travance that can be improved by hitting them (though not as many as some might think).

If you have not seen conflict yet, count yourself lucky.

I do look forward to meeting you in person, Doctor. I would love to hear of any new medical techniques from Londwyn; while Travance forces one to improvise often, and many new ideas can come of that, proper study is essential to improvement.

Best,
Dr. Lois Maxwell

To Mr. Strong,

Ah yes, I remember you. I hope for many conversations. As for your self-proclaimed position of "village idiot", you don't seem that way to me, and I guess I will learn as I live here.

To Dr. Maxwell,

I have seen conflict, more than anyone would ever care for. I remember those damned days, the fire, the screams, the cries of "Why us?" "Makes this stop" and "This is all a dream, this is all a dream". I remember the waves of bloody demons, some as tall as buildings. Conflict is something we will all see in our lives, whether we want to or not. It's the battlefield that made me realize who I am as a doctor. I am trained to help save lives, no matter who they are or what they did. I will save the commoner as well as the noble, the criminal as well as the hero because that's what being a doctor means. It means facing death square on and saying "This life is one you will not take. As long as I stand here, scalpel in hand this man will stay alive. You have no claim upon him." Ideally I can endeavor to save everyone, but I know that it is impossible, but I damn will try.

As for discussing the latest in medical techniques, I will be very interested in doing so.

Thank you,

Dr. Isaac Percy Goggins

Greetings, Dr. Goggins!

Goodness! Here I sat thinking that one Goggins was a handful. Know that, if the three of us are within earshot, I call your step-cousin "Mr. Goggins." Therefore I am grateful that you are a doctor, aside from being part of that wondrous profession. We do need to enjoy a cup of tea sometime soon. You must have interesting stories to share, especially being related to a man of Mr. Goggin's... well... caliber, I guess you could say. Anyway, Travance is an interesting place, and I do not use that word lightly. I've even written a song about life in Travance and it would be my pleasure to sing it for you.

Welcome to Travance!

Dr. Goggins,

I should very much like to hear the news from home over a cup of proper strong tea. You will find this town favors a lot of nonsensical flavored tea, but a proper cuppa in the Londwyn style can still be had. If there have been any advances in the areas of phlebotomy and hematology, I should very much like to take notes. Of course, this is all supposing I do not get distracted by work and forget again.

In science and progress,

To Mr. Underhill,

I agree with you, Arthur is a handful. When you are talking with both I and Arthur, I think you can tell the difference. As for stories and songs, I would love to hear a few stories and a ditty or two.

To Mr. Whitworth,

This town favors flavored teas? That's a shame. I was hoping for more of the brew from back home. I think I have some in my luggage because you can never leave home unless you have some tea with you. As for discussions of phlebotomy and hematology, I regret that I have limited knowledge of those subjects, but I can see where I have it in my notes. I am looking forward to the day we get to drink some tea together and talk.

To a great new future,
Dr. Isaac Percy Goggins

Dr. Isaac Goggins,

Your step cousin is among the most brilliant mortals i have ever met, as well as one of the people i trust most. I'm looking forward to seeing if this is hereditary. Feel free to come and find me and have a chat.
