I do not suppose anyone in our infirmary can provide care and assistance for a dog as well as they might a human? After Sexby's failed attempt to re-introduce me to his warped concepts of justice, my Renate has shown a few signs of still being in pain from the struggle. It is possible she is bruised and nothing more, but it is much better to be safe, and I would be a poor keeper to ignore her needs, but she has been rather adamant to remain at my side despite what injuries she might have.

I took a fall during the incident, and while the pain is not so much worse for myself, I'm sure there are few among you that would pass up the chance to get me on one of your tables again.

...I also understand that Chief Stildyne was among those attacked. Is he still with us, then?

I don't believe we've been formally introduced, Monsieur.

Likely not. My name is Black Jack. I'm the ship's surgeon.

Well met. The Marquis de Sade, at your service.

[There's a slight flicker of recognition there.]

The Marquis de Sade?

[Almost oblivious]

Of course.

[There are apparently people from the future, so it makes sense there'd be people from the past as well.]

It's an honor to meet you.

And so likewise. Don't believe everything you've read about me, though. I only bite when asked.

Not at all. In my experience, the only things rumors tend to prove is that a person was especially skilled at something.
