For anyone who doesn't know me, my name's Steve Rogers. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet many of you at the feast. Things came up, but I at least wanted to introduce myself.
[For reasons, curiosity. Maybe he's a limited edition but he's definitely not one of a kind.]
I also wanted to talk about something else. Some of you might remember Sam Wilson - in fact, if you ever met him, I'm willing to bet that you do. Sam served two tours in the military, so he could definitely hold his own in a fight. But what he really loved to do was help people. My entire world had turned its back on me, and Sam took me in, made me bacon and eggs. That's the kind of friend I hope to be to anyone who'd call me one.
[Emphasis on 'anyone'.]
Sam's gone now, but he started working on something before he left. It's a clinic, he called it The Nest. There's some medicine and stuff there, but it was more than that. It was a place for people to come if they just needed to talk, or if they needed to rest. I never realized it before, but sometimes in a war people need that as much as they need bandaging up.
[Steve pauses there to take deep breath. Here comes the hard part.]
This is my friend's legacy, and I've tried to keep it afloat. The problem is, I don't know how. And it's hard for me to ask for help sometimes.
[He can barely even maintain eye contact. But the same thing keeps going through his head, fuels him on: for Sam.]
But if you have anything to offer...if you have medical knowledge or if you're just a good listener, even if you want somewhere else to stay. There's a place for you here.
I guess that's it. Again, welcome, and try to watch yourselves out there.

[Her tone is incredulous, like she's not sure how her life brought her to this moment, where she's talking to Captain America on a magic locket.]
I mean, um, hi? I haven't been here long, but...the clinic sounds like a good idea.

[Not in his world, he would've remembered. But the reason he came to the network so soon after the feast was in part for this reason - he wants to make contact with those who know him.]
The credit for that goes to Sam. Are you having any trouble settling in?
Re: video
[A pause while she considers his question.]
Um, I'm doing okay, I guess. The first couple of days were...a lot. But I'm figuring things out.

Anything I can do to help?
