[Sickbay]: Round Thirteen Scans and Vaccines

[ten_fwd_npcs]

For those entering for the first time, no doubt you've been escorted here by the security team. 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 — even the more unusual aliens.

There's nothing to worry about, the doctors just want to make sure you aren't carrying any viruses or are vulnerable to catching new diseases. 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 and open for backtagging! 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. Julian Bashir is acting as head of the medical staff for the time being, so if anyone needs to ask him questions, tag in for him. For everyone else getting standard checkups, tag in specifying which doctor you would prefer in the subject line of your tag, otherwise one will leap on you as they are available. There is a post up in the OOC comm with more details about Sickbay and which doctors are on deck this month, if you have any questions.]

...huh. Not that he had made any real guesses as to what would happen, but this wasn't quite what he had expected. "Your skin will break for a scratch, and yet resist an injection? I see..." Oh well. He'd just make a not of it, and let this all be over and done with.

With a slight shrug he went to put the hypospray away, and to make the necessary entries into the databanks. "Yes. Yes, you may."

The comment almost made her laugh. Almost. Grainne had the grace to keep it in though. "It will break for my fingernail. A diamond can cut diamond, but steel will dull against it. It is something like that." It was the least she can do to offer an explanation, even a rather basic comparison. "Thank you."

Hopping off the biobed, Grainne picked up her box, and with one last look around, scuttled out of the room.
