[Sickbay]: Round Sixteen Scans and Vaccines

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.]
:D
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.
no subject
"A problem for me, human remedies are not. Centuries have I lived among them." His species was not terribly common on the planets he spent most of his time at. It was fortunate that human medicine suited him.
no subject
"That's good to know," he said before adding with a smile, "I'll also let you know that you don't look a day over three hundred."
He scans Yoda with the tricorder, checking its readings and trying to see if there's anything out of the ordinary.
no subject
The scan won't reveal anything particularly noteworthy beyond some arthritis and other standard vagaries of age. "Weak, the Force is here. A problem, it may be."
no subject
Rhys is funny sometimes, but he really is really damn fucking old. Even older than Yoda. And he looks much better for his age than Yoda.
Trever makes a note of the arthritis and vagaries of age. "The Force? What's that?"
no subject
"The energy of life. A powerful ally it is. Especially when 'really damn old'." He misses being able to Force the stiffness from his joints, really.
no subject
Bad joke, Trever. Bad. Bad. joke. Yoda is free to kick him if he'd like.
Though he does nod, "I know that... well... there's something similar-ish on my world. I don't know about the rest of the galaxy because we haven't been able to get off world in a very long time. But I know I've been feeling off balance since I've been here, cut off from it."
no subject
"Older, I feel, without it." And he was already feeling pretty old, all things considered. This happened once or twice in the previous places, but never for long.
no subject
He then added, "Though, there's probably something here that would work on your arthritis if your connection to the Force doesn't get stronger?"
no subject
"Need that, I may. Very long, the corridors on this ship are." And he has, as previously discussed, very little legs.
no subject
They could always get him a hover chair... then he could go zooming about and chasing people. He could paint it with racing stripes and everything.
Trever makes a note in the record. "They are. And very much the same. I'll let the doctors know."
Veena, meanwhile, has tried to ooze into Yoda's little lap. She is working on the cat logic of 'if I think I can fit on there, I can fit on there'. It works for boxes, bags, shoes and other objects that she thinks she could fit in.
no subject
no subject
"Hoverchair? I bet there's something we can do here. I've seen hovering trolleys here. If there's not one available or could be made I'll eat my shoes."
