[Sickbay]: Round Three scans and vaccines

[ten_fwd_npcs]

New guests have arrived on the Enterprise, and that means Lieutenant Worf and his security detail are busy once again bringing them to see Dr. Crusher. Sickbay is fairly typical for a hospital. There are no terrifying devices or humming machines you could 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, perhaps excluding the sun avatar, but Trance Gemini is as skilled as the Starfleet officers.

"All right, come in," one of them calls out as you enter. "Don't be shy. It's just a scan and a hypospray, nothing to worry about."

Probably.


[ooc: Same rules as before: this is an open log for everybody. Tagging isn't mandatory, but going to sickbay is. So 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, we have Julian Bashir, Trance Gemini, and Rory Williams on deck, so please specify in the subject line of your tag who you would like. Beverly Crusher can be available if needed, but the player may not always be available. If you would like more details about sickbay, here's the wiki page. If you haven't made your intro yet, you can assume the doctors will want to see your character shortly after they arrive.]

open to any medical staff (who want to deal with metal claws)

[miniclaws]

There is an uneasy truce between Laura and her security detail. She's unsheathed her claws in her hands but as long as they don't touch her, she won't attack. Once the doors open to the sickbay she sheathes her claws. They have kept their word.

There is a small trickle of blood from where the claws pierce her skin. The holes themselves are almost closed over. It hurts. It does every time she uses them but she accepts this as normal.

"What does the hypospray contain?"

welp. let's see how rory can handle a teeny wolverine

"It's a simple vaccination just to be sure your immune system can handle this new environment," Rory explains. "Nothing invasive, don't worry."

He has the hypospray device in one hand, but it's the claws he'd suddenly spotted that interest him.

(And, maybe, make him a bit nervous.)

"Er. I'm Rory. So, what's your name, then? And are there any medical conditions the staff here ought to know about?"

good luck Rory

"I have a healing factor, I do not get sick." Laura has survived explosions and the Legacy virus. At five foot one she has to look up at him but it doesn't make her stare any less intense.

"I am Laura." Or X or girl or weapon. She much prefers Laura now, it makes her feel almost human. She extends the claws towards him and offers them up for examination. "The metal would poison me without the healing factor."

[rorypond]

"Right. Nice to meet you, Laura -"

He's about to say something else, or he thinks he is, but the claw coming out of the girl's hand gives him pause.

"Bloody hell. That - I'll, um - make a note of that, then."

[miniclaws]

Laura tilts her head on one side as she assesses his reaction. "You have not seen these before." A small frown creases between her eyes. Usually, people react with fear or pity, not surprise. His world must be very different to her own, if he is not used to the sight of a mutant.

"There are no other medical conditions for you to be concerned about."
