[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.]

"Hi. I'm Henry." He manages a smile out of politeness and realises, since this is all official and medical, he should probably give out his last name too. "Henry Gold."

He's half tempted to point out he's not related to the other Gold on board but that would be rude. So he doesn't.

"So what happens now?"

"Pleased to meet you, Henry." Julian picks up a tricorder, partly in answer to the boy's next question.

"Now, I'm going to scan you with this. You won't feel anything--it's not going to hurt, not going to tingle. It's just going to tell me what we need to know about your health, in case you need to come visit us again.

And then I'm going to give you a vaccination, which won't hurt a bit either. Are you allergic to anything that you know of?"

Nevermind that the tricorder would tell him as much, it's a way to make Henry feel more involved with the process.

Henry eyes the tricorder warily, moving about on the bed as Julian moves the scanner. He's being liberally awkward.

"What if I don't want a vaccination? They usually hurt." He shrugs at the question. He doesn't know he's allergic to anything but he hasn't been in contact with everything in the world.

He leans over to try and see what the tricorder is telling the doctor but almost falls off and doesn't even understand it anyway. "Can you tell me what that's saying?" Because that's a good way to change the topic. And he's curious.
