"You're from a very advanced society," First Aid reminds him gently. "But for most of human history, do anything of note as a team was the norm. You've been wonderful in gathering data on the island and helping Dr. Watson get up to speed, and now you're being equally wonderful in collecting this data and bringing it to people who can help your patient.

First Aid sighs through his vents. "Being able to get relevant information from a patient is a useful skill. So is knowing who to take it to, so you can build a team with complementary skills to get the patient the care they need. Can you imagine what would have happened if Touya had walked into Dr. Watson's office, and you hadn't been there? If he was still working off a late 19th century knowledge base? I'm not sure plastic surgery had even been invented yet."
He ventures to pat Bart on the shoulder. "I can't make you believe it, but that doesn't mean it's not true. You're doing good work here, Bart."
