[The locket opened to Javik’s face, mouth pulled down in a scowl. He was inside somewhere dimly lit, and a horse nickering could be heard not too far off. Without demon dogs slowing him down, he’d made it to Treun in good time, arriving just before sundown. His attempt to check in with a few people, however, had reminded him of House’s silence since he’d last seen him at Samhain. If he’d angered the doctor, he expected to hear about it rather than being met with static. That left few other options.]

I have attempted to contact the human doctor Gregory House several times this past month. He has not responded, and this ridiculous device will not even recognize his presence.

[He worked his jaw for a second, looking as though he were chewing on something bitter. First Daud, then Will, and now the doctor? Who was next, himself or Maglor? He was no stranger to losing allies, but when they just vanished it was infuriating.]

I believe he is gone from this world. When I return to the Station, I will inspect his room to confirm it. If you know anything otherwise, you will inform me.

[ He snapped the locket shut, ending the video.]

Your technology and medicine are still very primitive. I do not know what your full potential is, however.

[Or if they'd ever find it before the Reapers drove them to extinction alongside everyone else.]

[writeswrongs]

Kind of amazing to think our medicine is primitive, though considering the strides we've made in 100 years I can only imagine what the next hundred hold.

[Castle doesn't know what the Reapers are and is probably glad for that.]

Do you go to the Station often?

[notavirtue]

[In another hundred years Javik would still consider it primitive, but he didn't comment on it this time.]

I have been several times, yes. The technology is still archaic, though it is a marvel to many people here.

[The word 'archaic' produces a tiny smile from him.]

Yeah, it's about on par with what I had at home. I can charge and use my phone there, which is nice. Though I can't call anyone, of course.
