[A new voice comes from the communicators. It is low and just a bit gravelly, with a gently lilting accent. For a moment it is muffled, as if someone has his hand over the microphone, but then it clears up.]
Ah, hello? Is it true that if I speak into this device, people can hear me from afar?
[There is a short, disbelieving laugh.]
It's marvelous. Whoever invented it should sell it to my people. They would become hideously wealthy in days.

[The man walking down the corridor has the strangest eyes. One is pale and silvery; the other is not so much brown as golden. Each color alone could be considered beautiful, if unusual; but both set in his face they end up making him look jarringly uneven, rather than beautiful. He's also got small gold hoop earrings in each ear and a hoard of rings on his fingers. His simple travelling clothes look old, but they are clean and look as if they may once have been expensive. He's got a long stride, but he is walking unhurriedly. In his hand is the communicator, which his thumb keeps grazing over. If you approach him, he will smile and greet you.]

[His mind immediately senses the man, far away from him. It is a bit overwhelming; there are so many people on this ship, and he can feel the movement of all of them. But now that the doctor is talking to him, he has a faint sense of his mind and can pick him out from the fuzzy, confused stirrings of people all around him. There are no clear thoughts to pick up from this distance, though. He squints in thought.]
You must teach me to use this device, when you have the time. I am utterly lost on how to work it.

He gives a tiny grunt in his throat and holds his head, suddenly anxious. It feels like the days just after his injury weeks ago. But after a moment he is speaking again. Susan may notice that despite Po's reaction, the low-level psychic feeling hasn't changed or disappeared.]
Do you work here as a Warden?
