[Beckett has sent him here. Hi, House.] So, out of curiosity, what's Beckett's Joker plan? If you know about it it can't be that dumb, right? ...Unless Beckett meant "ask House 'cause he's been telling me how stupid I am for suggesting it", I guess.
[There's a delay in replying for House to try to figure out what the hell America is talking about.]
probably wants to lobotomize the guy
he was gonna do it to me
but i think we're past that now or something

got an update for your map
nothing interesting but you know those three unexplored squares next to the police station down south
i went through the top one the other day
nothing there but more snow
thought you might want to know

[How exciting.]
i'll update it

[Become his minion for experiments, Davesprite.]

Our blood doesn't look any different under the microscope. I was hoping we'd get there before we had a NIMA injection, but the static had other ideas.
I figured you'd still want the pictures.
[ The slides are not properly labelled, but the file names for the pictures indicate which person the blood was taken from and what the magnification is. The results are pretty much identical to the pictures House shared with Mohinder. ]

[Interesting.]
you wouldn't be alive if you hadn't been injected with nima immediately on arrival here, kid
good to confirm the data, though
are you or the doctor small enough to fit through the opening on the first floor that watson and his cadre found?

So... something a little strange happened, and I thought I should probably report it a little more explicitly than just the videos we've been trading back and forth.
To start with, we came across a kind of... shrine, for lack of a better word. I sent you images of it previously, but I did leave out a small detail. I thought it might provoke a reaction if I imitated whoever made that place and sort of... offered it blood of my own. It seemed like a logical step at the time- that's obviously what the place was used for. And, well, it did provoke a reaction.
[Hange shows the camera the back of their hand, with its brand-new black eye symbol. If they're worried about this, they're doing a decent job of hiding it.]
I thought it might fade or rub off after a couple of days, but it's still here.

Interesting. [Well, you'll at least get him on audio, if not video, Hange. It's more courtesy than most get.] You're not the first one to get that mark. Freamon got one, too, when she called for the prophet in one of the houses. [Secrets mean nothing in the face of science and he already told Kesara he's not honest and she can't trust him.]
When we had the static, did you draw eyes or erase them?

it's creepy as hell
and looks like yours
huh
nothing inside
we found it under the eye symbol that was down in the courtyard
cleared away the debris they'd been using for the symbol
where'd you find yours?
which house?

[It's a strange thing, but of all the doctors here, Al probably trusts House the most. Not on an emotionally level, but on a technical level. He also knows Al's secret, so that's a big plus in his book when it comes to asking for help.
He's left it so long, but it's finally too much and he needs help.]
Dr. House, I need your help as a doctor, please.

[You're in luck, Al. He's in a relatively good mood, even after dealing with Lutha and Frisk--they'd provided food. Two ragdolls down, one to go, at least in this area, and Brian's on the way with another. The medication he's taking helps, too, but we're not thinking about that. Nope.]
tell me what the issue is
if it's interesting, i'll help
[Better mood doesn't mean he's much less of an ass, though.]

[House is off his anti-depressants, and only recently after his break with Ecks. He's not in a great mood, but at least he's awake, unable to really sleep.]
that would depend on how many you took
if you've got hold of my vicodin
which i'm guessing you have since you're contacting me
also assuming you're not an addict with a tolerance
6 to 8 hours for the falling down on the floor part
might be whoozy for a while after that
looking to trade what you picked up?

We were finally heading up to building 15 and this happens.
Hope you're hanging in there, House. I'm not sure if you'd be interested in this or not, but I have videos of a few affected people that I took last night. I thought it might give us insight on what happened. I noticed that every time someone attacked me, the video glitched and distorted.

ain't that always the way it goes?
i'll take the vids
i'm guessing you got the standard "you're all horrible sinners trying to destroy everything" line from the ones you met with

[Initially, the only message sent is silence, just... stretching and elongating. He keeps trying to say something, but nothing he can think of is even close to the right words to say. If there is such a thing as the right words in a situation like this.
It's nearly two full minutes before he does speak, voice low and level.]
I'm so sorry.

[Congrats, Al. You get House on audio. His voice is flat, though.]
Don't bother, Elric. It never happened. Just stay the hell away from me. Trade's off.

[At least, with House, it's easy. She switches to text when she goes to his inbox, and keeps it as simple and quick as can be. She's not entirely sure why, but she just wants to be certain. That he's alive, that he's okay, that this was all some kind of mass, gruesome hallucination.]
are you okay?

don't ask me stupid questions

that's what you wanted to know
go talk to wilson if you're looking for comfort

[The video is brief and silent apart from the little sounds of Ecks operating the tablet. The dim light shows torn fur and clumps of stuffing strewn on the floor of one of the apartments in the ruins, some still recognizable as the faces or limbs of toys. Then it cuts out. Text is easier.]
my eyes are still wrong
I am south of where I left you
I am still looking for dolls but you should not tell me where you are

[He seriously considers just not answering. Ecks tried to kill him. Although, to be fair, it probably came off that he was trying to kill her. Also, all those toys strewn about and destroyed are interesting.]
why did you rip them apart?

[House isn't in a great mood, but what else is new? They know their plan will probably work, it's just going to take more time than he would have liked. Still, whatever. There are other experiments to run while they wait this out.]
no
closest bet is the vet
i can reach 161 tomorrow night
we can do these experiments sooner rather than later if you come with me
it's only a couple of days

So, I... well, I did that experiment with the doll. Actually, it wasn't intended to be an experiment with the doll, exactly, I was trying to provoke another reaction from the prophet's altar. But the results I got were more related to the doll.
First and foremost: if you have any more of those dolls that look like other people, I would advise you to be very careful with them.

[He'll indulge you with audio only because he's on the move, Hange.]
Explain.
Explain.
So, Dr. House, about those experiments.
1. injecting myself with glowing orange blood that's supposedly human now
with admin adjustments
i'm ab+ so i should be able to take anything human
if i start experiencing blood poisoning symptoms we'll know it's not what it appears to be
just a trick of the eyes/perception
we'll be recording and documenting any effects
2. the kid i'm with is some sort of videogame hybrid crow/human/navi from zelda
he's got a hole in his chest that's part of his aesthetic
he'll be attempting to stick some rubble through it
planning to record all that, as well
if he can't get it through
we'll know the majority of what we see of ourselves is also illusion
if it does go through
it means some part of our appearance is probably based on physical reality
how much is still up in the air
3. there's a creature in the morgue
like i mentioned
i'll be rigging up a system to try to physically hit it when it emerges from the wall
we've been told it's an hallucination
i'll be coating the impact item in rubble dust to increase the chance of a hit

[Amber told House that Wilson would be giving him his results to this experiment, but, well...Wilson isn't here anymore. She managed to get this done the other day, but she's been avoiding talking to him, and the results aren't likely to impact anything particularly pressing.]
House,
Played your recording at the Retirement Home. No result. However, I had the idea to play the clip in the public data of what sounded like her children discussing her future, and did get something. I heard: "My daughter lives in the eastern side of Norfinbury. I hope she's okay."
Nothing else happened.
[Amber doesn't hold her breath. She's not exactly sure how House is going to respond to the information--maybe he'll be somewhat better behaved just knowing that something happened, but...Amber knows she's still Amber. He's not going to want to talk to her. If there's any sort of dialogue, she's counting on it being short-lived.]

if not, repeat the experience and record it

and by "clerical error" you mean

stop calling me greg
i'll write you another script
and no
it's not enough to just have another floating script for vicodin
i've got enough to last me past the end of this session
your negotiating position fell as of yesterday when i picked up two new bottles
