[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.]

"You've done your time, I think. The penal colony isn't a terrible place, from what I've heard, though." At least, his father hasn't complained overly much--which Julian was sure he would have. Perhaps. He didn't seem to know his father as well as he thought he did.
"I'm certainly glad that you all made it. We...had to stop looking. When the war kicked up in earnest." He hopes Tom isn't angry about that.

Tom gave a shrug as Julian finished up his exam. "Not terrible. The security anklet chafes a little. And at least my reputation and dishonorable discharge bought me a little street cred. Killing people goes a long way, even in a minimum security facility." Tom went on, trying to blow it off with a nonchalant attitude and a bit of bravado. What could he say? He was a good hider. Growing up with Admiral Paris made him a master.
"And I was never bored." Thats right. Always look on the bright side.
no subject
Though he does look somewhat alarmed at the attitude. "I do hope you're exaggerating." His father was not at all the sort that would have 'street cred'. Or a reputation.
