[ The video clicks on to Freddie, frowning at the camera, still dressed for winter, black beanie hat perched on her head. Frown on her face, she gives the camera a small nod, trying not to show just how freaked out she is.

Because spoilers: Freddie's pretty freaked out. ]

I've just got two questions. [ for now, at least. ] One, what's this nonsense about super powers? And two... [ now her expression changes to something that's purely 'I can't believe this shit.' ] who knows anything about dogs?

[ Yeah, Freddie sees that comm tag. But she's not in full panic mode yet--mostly because she's not even sure if Hannibal's pulling her leg or not. ]

Apparently so. It's news to me as well.

[Those moments when he thinks society can't get any worse and it does? This is one of those. A periodical devoted to dogs.]

You have my sympathies. Are you a writer by trade or is this another mis-assignment?

I'm a crime journalist. Basically, our overlords got it in the ballpark but failed to hit home.

A crime journalist. That must be ... something.

[While he's never met one himself, Hannibal can put the pieces together well enough to get what she means. This might be another he'll have to watch should she be smart and not the sort to merely parrot back details. If he's faking not recognizing her, he's playing it to the limit.]

I find myself sharing in your predicament. I am surgeon who is now somehow a chef.

We didn't have 'crime journalists' in my time. There are those who report on crimes, but most of them tend to be of the yellow journalism stripe.

[ A surgeon and a chef. Goddamn, this is the actual Hannibal Lecter, isn't it. Just twenty-five or so years younger than the one she knew.

Just her luck. ]

And when exactly is your time, Doctor?

[Freddie calls all the crazy to the yard.]

1951 to be precise. Here I had thought it would be a normal day at work.

Is your era one of the more advanced ones?

[Given how he holds the broadcast device, he's not comfortable or exactly trusting of it.]

[ That...makes no sense. ]

Yes. It was 2014 for me.

1951...that's certainly not what I was expecting.
