[Sickbay]: Round Eight Scans and Vaccines
O-kay, so things have been a little ... odd on the ship. Some people have been acting rather out of character, ducking their duties for romantic escapades or complaining that their good friends aren't quite themselves. Romance may be in the air, but the CMO has other ideas. Like maybe an alien pest who likes to play tricks on people. Her sickbay hasn't gone unaffected, but luckily the strange effects are beginning to wear off and people are returning to work. Still, she's prepared to treat anything.
If this is your first trip to Sickbay, you may be surprised to see that it's a fairly ordinary-looking hospital. There are no terrifying devices or humming machines you might see in a sci-fi thriller. The biobeds along the walls are equipped with biofunction monitors, but look fairly standard. Instead of silver trays filled with metal tools and sawblades, there are an array of small devices that look as harmless as cell phones. As for the staff, they're all well-groomed and friendly. As a matter of fact, all personnel look harmless. Well, relatively harmless.
If you're new to the ship, no doubt you've been escorted here by the security team. Nothing to worry about, the doctors just want to make sure you aren't carrying any viruses or are vulnerable to terrible space disease. Once you've been checked over — a quick scan from a tricorder and any necessary vaccines — you'll be free to go. Lollipops are optional.
"All right, step on in," one of them calls out as you enter. "Don't be afraid. It's just a scan and a hypospray, nothing to worry about."
[ooc: Sickbay is, as always, OTA! For new characters: tagging isn't mandatory but IC going to sickbay is. If you'd prefer to skip threading with one of our doctors, you can handwave that your character got a clean bill of health and a shot and were sent on their merry way. For those who are tagging: if you have a preference which doctor sees your character, please specify in the subject line of your tag who you would like (Beverly Crusher, Julian Bashir, Sam Wilson, Mack Gerhardt, and Merlin are definitely on deck, with possible appearances by others). There is a post up in the OOC comm with more details if you have any questions.]

"Well, our 'universe-hopping friend' doesn't usually bring people aboard to apply for staff positions. Typically, they're more concerned with getting back home," she says, pausing momentarily. "But it's not unheard of. We do have botany labs, as well as an arboretum, but same as guest quarantines any herbs will need to be examined before we'll let them propagate the ship."
She moves off to retrieve a tricorder from a small table behind her desk. "I'm afraid I'm not familiar with your species, doctor. Would you mind telling me where you're from?"

"That's fine, though. I expected no less." And then she went on to explain, "I'm an Indogene. I'm a race that's a member of the Votanis Collective; only a certain number of us could board arks to leave our star system which was about to die. The plants I use are from those worlds- ours was Daribo."
"I have several biometric implants, our people frequently use them." Though, before coming in, she had to have a healing wound on the back of her neck fixed in sick bay as she'd had to pull out an implant with a can-opener by herself. There was also evidence that one of her fingers had been cut off and reattached. Her recent history hadn't been a pleasant one.
"I could probably be of help to others with various implants as I have them, and plenty of experience with them." She didn't lack confidence, but then she seemed to be thrown by her own words. "Sorry." Meh rambled after a moment. "It's been a very long time since I've had to sell myself."
