[One day in, after conversations with the guard and various others, Simon finally makes his broadcast. The man on screen is well-dressed, despite his collar being unbuttoned and sleeves rolled up to his elbows; his hair is carefully combed back, even if it looks like he did the job with his fingers. He clears his throat, and when he speaks it sounds like he's careful to modulate his voice, that of a doctor giving bad news to a patient. Diagnosis: grim.]
Ah, hello. I'm Dr. Simon Tam, one of the medical professionals at the clinic. In my previous residence, I was a trauma surgeon. I have years of medical training and am here to help in whatever ways I can with the usual injuries one acquires through violence or accident.
As I'm sure you're all aware, Fear--I'm presuming--has brought in a new kind of creature, one that appears to previously have been human. I'm reluctant to use the word 'zombie,' but that will have to do, I suppose. I want you all to know we are working on studying these zombies and trying to find what created them, whether it's a virus or something less mundane. Anyone who has had experience with beings like this in their previous worlds, please reach out to your clinic staff, any information can be helpful.
For those of you who have been wounded by one of these zombies or have had close physical contact, please report to the clinic. We may be able to help you--and if we can't, maybe we can help keep you from hurting anyone else. I'll do my best to make sure it's the former.

[It's an argument he's prepared to have--and win.]

It seems like it makes you an easy target

[Simon may not be much of a fighter, but damned if he won't go try his best to punch a god the second they try and tell him he can't do his job.]

[ she admires what he's trying to do, she just... has her doubts about the possibility of success in this situation. ]

[He can be incredibly stubborn, once he sets his mind on something. As evidenced here, apparently.]

How do you do that? How can you keep acting like things are going to work out when we know they won't?
Re: text
What else am I supposed to do? I took an oath. To help people. I've done a lot of things in my life, but I've never turned my back on that. I'm not blind, I know things go bad more often than not, but I have to try.

Oh, sure. That's usually the first thing out of their mouths. You know, after "what the gorram hell is wrong with you" or "say that to my face".

I'll take that as a compliment, I suppose.
