[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.]

"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.

Yoda reaches down to pet the cat almost without thinking about it. He enjoys the presence of pets.

"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.

And Veena enjoys his petting. She leans up against him, purring happily. Perhaps she's found another minion...?

"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.

Yoda chuckles at that. "Over eight hundred and eighty am I. Difficult to keep track of, it becomes." He's only going to the nearest decade. It's just easier and changes less often.

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."

"You sound like a friend of mine. Though he usually just gives his age as 'really damn fucking old so stop asking' whenever someone asks."

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?"
youwillbe: (Default)

[personal profile] youwillbe 2015-12-02 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yoda chuckles. "Tempting, such an answer is sometimes." Though usually he used his age as a justification for speaking how he wanted. Or wearing a sailor suit even if no one thought it suited him.

"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.

"Rhys says he's too old to care about things like tact. You're one up on him there. Despite your height."

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."
youwillbe: (I judge you!)

[personal profile] youwillbe 2015-12-03 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yoda pokes at his shin with his cane. "Perfectly normal for my species is this size. A mediator, I often was. Matter in such things, does tact." But not so much that he doesn't sometimes use that cane for other purposes.

"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.

"So my da has been trying to teach me. He's king and very big on diplomacy," Trever said looking down at the scanner. "And I do know what you mean. I didn't realize how much the land ties back home ... I don't know if energized me is the right word but... like I said, off balance."

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?"

"LIke only half there, a sense is." Which is basically exactly what it is. A sense that has always been there, even before he could consciously tap it. Though that itself was centuries gone now.

"Need that, I may. Very long, the corridors on this ship are." And he has, as previously discussed, very little legs.
reincarnshaman: (squint)

[personal profile] reincarnshaman 2015-12-03 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I hate it. I'm always trying to tap into something and it's not there."

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.

And somehow, cat physics continue to apply to laps of travel sized aliens. Such is the power of cat physics when the owner of the lap is quite content to allow the cat to make herself at home. "Even with the Force, a challenge would they be. My hoverchair, I find myself missing." It was very useful, and not just for bringing himself up to eye level. He hadn't had it in a year, but he hadn't had to walk nearly as far regularly.

[personal profile] reincarnshaman 2015-12-04 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Cats are liquids. It's a proven fact. She is quite happy to be in Yoda's lap and purrs happily.

"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."

He smiles at the purring cat. "Appreciate that, I would. Question my taste in food many do, but enjoy shoes even I do not." Some of them might have preferred shoes over his stews. More for him.
reincarnshaman: (Happy grin)

*handwave* There was no wrong journal

[personal profile] reincarnshaman 2015-12-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Veena likes you," Trever said. "My older brother, Nat, says that he could make shoes taste good if he worked at it. But cooking is kind of his thing."
