[Sickbay]: Round Sixteen Scans and Vaccines

[ten_fwd_npcs]

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 — even the more unusual aliens.

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 and open until the next one goes up for latecomers! 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. 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.]

Room 1629: Chief Medical Officer's office

[ethnobotany]

Beverly hasn't had the greatest month, though the party has helped her deal with some lingering emotions, but she is here with a smile this month. Throwing herself into her work always makes her feel better. If anyone needs her, she will gladly take a break from her work to help.

[toomanynitrogens]

The past few days have been so full of information and questions that he feels like his head is going to explode. Maybe they can give him something for his headache while he's being examined? Aidan hopes so. He's also curious about the state of functional finger prosthetics, but he's not going to admit that. By now he's learned what he is and isn't capable of with only two fingers on his right hand.

Never touching a door to open it, while convenient, also reminds him a little of juvie when he's going to or from important places. Sickbay counts as an important place and his stomach twists as the door opens and he steps through. What happens now? He doesn't know so he looks around for some sort of answer.

let me find out about prosthetics if you'd like IC info?

[magnetic_magpie]

Magneto was making a note on his PADD - altered from the standard ones - when he was told there was a patient up. He knocked at the wall next to the bay and waited for the young man to look up before approaching. "Hello. You can call me Erik, I'm a medic, not a doctor, but I'd like to give you a quick look over and answer what questions I can, does that work for you?"

I'd like it OOCly, sure

[toomanynitrogens]

"That's fine with me," he answered easily once he looked up at Erik. "I've been reading pretty much constantly ever since they showed me where and how to do it, but I've always got questions." With Aidan's luck, they wouldn't be easily answered.

"Do I need to undress or anything for this?"

I mentioned it on Plurk, did anyone get ahold of you?

[magnetic_magpie]

"Good. And to be honest, I keep coming up with questions too." Magneto pulled the PADD up, starting a file for him. "No, you don't need to undress. I may - probably will - have to give you some vaccines but they won't hurt and you don't even need to roll up your sleeve for it. Can we start with your name, age, when you are from, and where?"

Paging Merlin If Possible! OTA Otherwise

[radishearring]

Compared to last time around Luna was looking more like a quirky teenager than a young witch in crisis, at least in the physical sense. Emotionally it was a whole other story since the nightmares of the manor were not letting up.

But she had promised to check in given just how badly of she was when she arrived. So Luna waited to be seen by a doctor and compared to last time she also has more than a few questions about muggle medicine.

[themerlin]

Merlin smiled, seeing her, and making a beeline directly for her. "There you are!" He smiled warmly, and nodded to her. "Do you need a checkup, or is this a visit?" He waved toward a small alcove with a bed, chairs, and a curtain, should she need or want privacy.

he had been very concerned with her when she had arrived, and he was glad to see she was looking much better.

[radishearring]

"Hello again!" Luna cracked a smile this time around. "You asked that I touch base every so often given what happened when I was dumped here?" she offered as a reminder. She was regaining the weight slowly but surely and she looked more like an average teenager (abet with her quirks). "I'm also hoping to pick your brain a bit to borrow the expression." she confessed.

[themerlin]

Merlin nodded as she spoke. His smile was warm, and he cocked his head to the side.

"Of course. I am at your service. How have you been doing?"

Beverly please? :3

[ashes_ascended]

Slightly irked at having to endure medical procedures, Phoenix wanders into Sickbay unafraid. Despite the fact he's seldom seen the inside of a hospital unless he's accompanying the dead to their final home.

It all looks a little dated to him, but he does have the sense not to offend the person who's potentially sticking probes in him, by commenting on it. At lest it's not what he'd call medieval...

[ethnobotany]

When sickbay gets busiest, Beverly takes her place as a doctor, approaching the next person who seems to need an exam. "Right this way, please," she calls, indicating the biobed to the side. "You just need a medical exam and a hypospray."

[ashes_ascended]

"Uh, sure." He moves over to the bed, and only now feels uncomfortable. "You want me to lie on this thing?"

He's not happy about that, feeling at a disadvantage already. Because his abilities are spotty, Phoenix has been on his guard somewhat. Unafraid at first, he now seems a little wary.

[ethnobotany]

"You can sit on it or stand by it," Beverly answers easily, her tone calm and soothing. "But I won't need you to lie down."

Mostly she asked him to move over here to get them away from the doorway. As he moves further in, she picks up a hypospray, the vaccines, and a tricorder to prepare. Once he seems situated, she unfolds her tricorder and lets it scan him to see what it may or may not find in him.

Any doctor works!

[redarmorhunter]

The security people had been very insistent. And, in the end, despite reminding them that if they were ever so insistent to him in future he would use their spleens for a game of catch with their nearest garbage disposal, he had decided to play along. Besides which, the Master hadn't ordered him to initiate combat against these humans.

Really, too, he saw no need. They didn't even wear armour when performing their secrity duties. Just...cloth. He'd even left his rifle secure in his quarters, secure in the knowledge that even if his internal weapons weren't working, he could simply punch the entire security detail into oblivion if need be.

Perhaps the security officer had spoken from sheer terror when asking a droid to go for a physical. He did have that effect. But he marched silently up to a doctor, without any regard whatsoever for personal space.

"Statement: The primates in security uniforms insisted I come by to be inspected." The voice turned decidedly sarcastic. "So irradiate me if you must to clear off any germs that would trouble your flesh sacks."

Trever Please!

[premonitioned]

So Phoebe is coming is coming in, expecting hospital gowns, beeping sounds and the smell of disinfectant. This looks more like a spa room. She makes a beeline for the first familiar face in the room. Trever's back is turned and she taps him on the shoulder. "

Hey, so where exactly are you putting this hypospray. I had a needle in the ass once, and I don't want to repeat that again."

Re: Trever Please!

[reincarnshaman]

The tap startles him and he makes for a grab of a knife but all he has in his hand is a tricorder so he instead just spins and looks a bit silly brandishing the device. He does immediately relax when he sees who it is though and gives a smile.

"I've had that once or twice too. It's never fun, especially since it was my aunt giving them to me." Having an aunt for a doctor can be... useful at times. Embarrassing other times. Especially since he also knew she changed his diapers and things.

"But, no. There's no needles in asses..." He tilted his head a bit, trying to see said ass, though. It's a nice one. "They've moved beyond such indignities."

[premonitioned]

Phoebe didn't find his reaction ridiculous, after all, she had almost drop kicked Cole on sight. "Easy," she said softly and continued on with the chat so that she didn't make a big deal of it.

"Okay that sounds like the most awkward family thing imaginable. It tops dinner with the distant cousin who has no sense of personal space." That hasn't personally happened to her, but she knows people who that has happened to. "The next time you need one, I'd vote to get her to send in a cute nurse to do it."

She laughs, she doesn't miss him checking her out, and it's clear she doesn't mind. "So what's the new place to scan or stick a needle in?"

[reincarnshaman]

"Nah. Awkward is my mum and da's family having to spend time with each other in public," Trever said, quite happily ignoring the jumpiness. "Though knowing my luck Aunt Aofie would send in a guy."

He gestured to the biobed. "Well, you can just sit yourself up there if you'd like. I wave this at you and it tells me stuff and then I poke you in the shoulder with a hypospray. It's all very boring now."

OTA

[youwillbe]

Yoda was still working on establishing his connection more firmly with the Force. Everything was harder with how muted it was. This largely manifested as feeling the centuries more than he would ordinarily.

Somehow, he suspected he would have to speak with a physician about the matter. "Too many life days, the trouble is." He's fine. Really.

hope you don't mind late?

[reincarnshaman]

"Oh. A goblin..." Trever said when he saw Yoda.

He and Kale obviously think alike.

"I mean, hello."

Late is fine!

[youwillbe]

"A goblin I am not." It was fascinating, how many different creatures he got compared to here. Goblin's not even new. "But of little matter that is."

He doesn't wait to be invited to sit. He's old. He'll sit when he needs to.

:D

[reincarnshaman]

"Yes. I'm sorry. I was being rude."

He certainly looks his age... however old he is.

"So, I'm going to take a scan of you with this and then give you a vaccination. Is there anything in particular I should know about you, physically? I mean, I don't want to accidentally inject you with something that'll poison you or something."

A black cat appears next to Yoda and starts to sniff him.

OTA

[dark_lady_sariss]

She arrives escorted by a trio of security men, her hands in binders. One of them held her lightsaber. That same one had a bloody nose. She almost smiled at that. There had been a dozen, that much she was...well, proud of.

The Force at her side or not, she could still put a dozen security men to trouble. And they wore no armour. It was so easy to inflict pain on them. Especially that one whelp who had gotten too close.

She presented herself to the nearest doctor, head held high.

"Physician," she said. "I am told you are to examine me. A condition of not being...confined. I trust you will do your task well."

And that voice carries equal measures of imperial hauteur and unspoken threat.

[ethnobotany]

Well, this certainly is an interesting introduction. Beverly herself had had an altercation with security when she arrived, but she hadn't gotten herself stuck in binders or thrown in the brig for it. She makes a mental note to keep an eye on this one.

"Of course," she answers easily, motioning to the side before she moves to grab a tricorder and a hypospray. "I'm Doctor Crusher. If you'll just step aside here, I'll start your exam. Do you have any allergies we should be aware of?"

[dark_lady_sariss]

She moved with an air of authority that had nothing to do whatsoever with her position.

"None," she said, with an air of quiet annoyance.

Though she was entirely unsure what this doctor would find, really. She had, after all, been brought back to life - she was unsure what she would find.
