[The face of one exhausted and stressed dispatcher looks out from the screen, a lovely set of bruises marking her cheeks and forehead, culminating in quite the shiner. Setting her glasses straight with hands shaking slightly in the way of someone running on more caffeine than sleep, Sheska leans forward earnestly.]

As I'm sure you're all keenly aware, something odd is happening again. Mysterious wounds and injuries have been turning up on people. These are not the results of someone sneaking into your home and attacking you in the night. On this wide a scale and with such a variety of injuries, this is most certainly the island's doing again.

Please, if you are injured, the place to call is the hospital, not the police station. Though I would be more than willing to call the ambulance for you, it will be faster if you call them yourself.

As a reminder, if someone has fallen or hit their head, it's best not to move them, but to let professionals check them beforehand. For cuts, don't cut off blood flow with a tourniquet, but put pressure on the wound and elevate it if you can. It's best to keep an injured person warm, so don't be afraid to drape a blanket over them. It may get your blanket bloodstained, but you can buy a blanket. You can't buy a life, okay?

Please be careful, everyone! Tempers are high and people are on edge right now.

[You know, it feels like whenever she makes a video, this girl is either all laughter and smiles or thunderous frowns. This time it's the latter. She is actually standing on the ground this time, little piles of... something - maybe dried plants? - arranged neatly at her feet, and she is positively glaring into the camera.]

You're just stupid, aren't you? You don't even know which things to use for healing! Well I'm going to show you. Otherwise you're just going to keep hurting.

If you need any, come to the forest. I have some stored, just in case. I won't even make you trade for it this time. Everybody's hurting too much.

What's the point of only allowing family members hospital visitation rights if none of us have families anyway

I know that this is probably the absolute perfect time to be saying this... but for the next few days, possibly even longer depending on circumstances, Baker Street Surgery will be closed unless there's another doctor or healer who would like to take patients.

[ There's the sound of John straining a little. ]

I'm afraid that due to a.. rather debilitating injury in my shoulder.. I won't be able to perform any emergency medical procedures. If you need a signature for a prescription or advice on first aid, I'll be happy to provide, but I'm afraid my own medication will be keeping me home for the time being.

Please, everyone, be safe.

[ The voice isn't exactly clear at first, but it sounds like wheezing. Jack's voice comes in over the mic, weak, and entirely uncharacteristic of him. ]

Help. I... I'm.. I'm dying. I can't.. I can't stop.

[ He coughs, and what sounds like dirt hitting concrete is heard near the phone. ]

Make it stop. Please god make it stop.

[ He coughs again and begins to choke. The sounds continue on for a few minutes while he struggles, slapping the ground and kicking while he struggles for life.

And silence.

At least for a few minutes before he gasps back to life and hits the phone in his waking, turning the feed off. ]

Heads up, class is canceled 'til I don't look like I got my face chewed off by a rabid dog. Or I guess I'll find a sub or whatever? Yo, I dunno how it's supposed to work
