Time, Dr. Freeman?

Is it really that time again?

It seems as if you only just arrived.
You've done a great deal in a small time span.
You've done so well, in fact, that I've received some interesting offers for your services.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them...
But these 'are' extraordinary times.

Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice,
I will take the liberty of choosing for you...
If and when your time comes round again.

I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of...

Well...
I'm really not at liberty to say.

In the meantime...
This is where I get off.
