[Aside from having a new--or maybe not new, but different--hat that may have suffered a little bedazzling, Connor looks pretty much the same as last time he spoke on the network. He has something somewhat less abstract to talk about this time, but it's even more serious.]
Although the Clinic is well-suited to the needs of many here, and that's a great accomplishment in this situation, it's unable to provide assistance to a portion of the population that needs non-standard medical treatment.
[Mostly, as far as he knows, that's a problem for individuals who might be mechanically-based, although he isn't ruling out that there might be other types of beings he doesn't know about who also can't be helped with standard medical treatment. So he's being general right now, trying to account for everyone, which also helps in keeping things vague as far as individual people and what they might need.]
Because worlds vary, finding those with the skills they need to help these people might be difficult, but at the very least we can make sure those who can't go to the Clinic have the basic supplies necessary to take care of themselves. But again, because worlds vary, we won't know what all those supplies are unless we compile a list. I know there's an option on these phones to hold private conversations, if anyone may be concerned about giving specifics information about themselves, so supplies on the list can be added mostly anonymously.
[With any luck that means he can add some things to the list himself and no one will know who they're for. He'd like to avoid ending up in a situation in which he bleeds to death from an otherwise treatable injury just because there's no thirium available here.]
Additionally, since necessary items are likely to require making arrangements with the gods, if anyone is willing to help with that please let me know.

Thirium would be the most important; it's analogous to blood, for humans. Other parts would only be needed if mine were badly damaged.
[And it's impractical--if not impossible, which he's worrying it might be due to his conversation with Nick--to try to get those in advance. Critical damage to an essential bio component would be fatal so quickly that even if he did have a replacement it's unlikely it would do him any good, so he might as well just focus on thirium.]

I would recommend making inquiries at the laboratory before discussing the matter with Mr. Hope. I could ask them for you.
[Mr. Connor doesn't want just anyone knowing what he is; that is what Oscar has interpreted.]
[audio -- private]
[It's a somewhat complicated chemical formula, and he doesn't think they have what they need here let alone the equipment to process it. But it's worth making sure, and he appreciates that Oscar is trying to help, although Connor feels he's allowed the topic to be on himself for long enough and so--]
Is there anything that you need?
[audio -- private]
I only require oil. When my supply is running low, I replenish it with part of what is left of the Fire Brigade's reserve.
[audio -- private]
[He can promise that much; he'll speak with her about it, even if he isn't particularly optimistic.
Oscar's answer is more reassuring, though, because that's... Actually something doable, and better than that it sounds like something that's already under control. He does want to ask, just in case--]
Your metal components don't require any other maintenance?

This body was subject to a prolonged period of exposure to the elements before I was connected to it. The only way its secondary issues can be resolved is if every one of its parts are treated or replaced.
[audio -- private]
That's good to hear.
[About the major repairs, anyway, not the secondary issues. Still, the fact that it's only the secondary problems is much better than it could be.]
The oil is all you need for now? Is there enough of a supply of it remaining?
[audio -- private]
[Which happened well before Mr. Connor arrived.]
