Where on Earth did you acquire such an object...?

I'm just grateful it came with me. If it helps save even one person...
[He's long since given up trying to truly comprehend the most fantastical aspects of the lives of the people he has met here. At times, his own experiences feel so small and mundane in comparison.]
Thank you for telling me. Would you prefer I keep this in confidence until we're certain it is needed?
There's no need. I don't see a reason to keep this secret - not when the knowledge could help others. I simply don't know the best way to let this information be dispersed. And again, I'm only one person. Should disaster strike, everyone's skills are needed to tend to whoever might need our aid.

We have a good track record, I think. To my knowledge, we've never had any fatalities on the team. I'm sure that syringe will go very far in keeping it that way.
