[This man has an accent too, German, but it's nowhere nearly as thick as Niko's Serbian one is. He could speak German and let the translator take care of it, but so far he's met enough "standard" speakers that he can handle himself.]

Hallo, I'm Dr. Visscher [pronounced "Fisher"] and I'm new. I am the sort of new where I have no idea where anything is yet and I keep getting turned around. So if anyone could help me to the clinic when they have a chance I would greatly appreciate it.

Speaking of which, I'm a general practitioner. I'll be working for the resort and town. I am a human, but I've never been to Earth. Any Earth, of any sort. I know there are a few of them out there.

The Schwarzwald is another place that I've always wanted to see. My father was East German, my mother West. She had stories about it.

It was a messy situation for them, I know that. I hoped that it would get better, at least. Whatever version of it I saw was the Germany they always hoped that it would be.

1967, you said? A very difficult time. My own year—1977—is perhaps only easier insofar as we have had that many more years to grow accustomed to the division of the country. [Dryly ironic, there.]

That's unfortunate. They said all the war had ruined what was a beautiful country. Years of it, both with violence and government. They were glad to leave, but I always wanted to see it anyway.

The war was indeed terrible, and the divided country—well. It was a sad and sorry thing. The wall down the middle of Berlin—terrible.

Perhaps you may yet see a happier Germany, if our hosts are amenable.
