[Sickbay]: Round Four Scans and Vaccines

[ten_fwd_npcs]

There has been quite a lot of activity in Sickbay over the last couple of days. In addition to new guests arriving on the Enterprise, all of whom need to be cleared and vaccinated when necessary, there are the wounded who have come back from Alemar III and those looking in on them. Dr. Crusher has never been more glad that she isn't short-staffed.

While Lieutenant Worf and his security detail bring in the new passengers, Beverly ensures those recuperating have enough space and privacy. Beds may be limited, but nobody will be on the floor in her sickbay. For those who haven't been here before, Sickbay is fairly ordinary for a ship's 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. 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."


[ooc: Open log! For new characters (August and September apps), tagging isn't mandatory but ICly 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 Simon Tam on deck, with Beverly Crusher by request only. So please specify in the subject line of your tag who you would like. For those returned from the Alemar III plot, if you are not requesting a thread with a doctor but would like your character open for visitors, put "Visiting Post" in your subject line, or specify if it's locked to specific visitors. 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, and backtagging is love!]

"A roommate?" And not from this reality? Colour Dax curious. Would that mean she'll be getting one? Not that she would mind, although depending on the personality of who she gets to bunk with... It could lead to some interesting times.

She follows him to the turbolift. "A good thing the Enterprise can handle additional people... Otherwise, who knows where we'd be. Dropped on a planet until the mess was cleaned up- which, with Q..."

Could be quite some time. Although, her mind shifts, starts to work back to the year, trying to think of events that happened. And yes... "Although, depending on the stardate."

But she leaves it at that, zipping her mouth.

"Yes. I suppose they don't know how much space they'll be needing." Julian hasn't shared a room since the Academy, so doing so now has taken...a bit of readjustment. He doesn't mind Jack at all though.

"Deck seven, section four," he says as they step into the turbolift--the doors obligingly swish shut, and then they're in motion.

"Exactly. It's...not exactly an ideal situation he's put us in."

[ex_old_man857]

"I take it Q hasn't slowed down then- although, does he return people?" And how, could be the question. No doubt asking would be off the table, although perhaps enough grovelling... Which might not even work either.

"Ah." Amazing how much could be conveyed with one noise. Leaning back against the wall, she decides it was like that. "All we're missing is Benjamin."

Musing to the last time the three of them got put in to the past. That hadn't gone at all as planned. But she gives him a dry smile. "We'll jump those hurdles when they come then."

[asklepian]

"Well, there are well over 90 individuals accounted for that have been brought here from...any number of times and places, really. The majority have no knowledge of Starfleet whatsoever, and are even from the 21st century or earlier."

It's...well, the Prime Directive doesn't really have an established precedence for this, he thinks.

"This is infinitely preferable to that time," Julian says--because is it ever. The past had been uncomfortable for any number of reasons, and it had only gotten worse when Gabriel Bell had been killed trying to defend them.

"I'm honestly glad you're here, Jadzia." There's familiar faces, but it's a massive relief to have one that he can actually talk to.

[ex_old_man857]

"It sounds like he has been busy then." Especially if he is going as far back as he is. Why though? Not that Q would likely care about mortal humanoid things like giving away secrets from the future. "No doubt that's a bit of a shock, especially if you've never been on a space ship."

No need to hide what they were, just keep what they knew inside their heads.

She moves to give a little nudge on his shoulder, smiling at him. Julian has grown to be a very good friend over the years, one she knows she can count on in life and death situations. "Good to hear, or else I might just have to go find a new doctor, and I do hate breaking them in..."

[asklepian]

"Just slightly. Luckily, everyone seems to have taken it more or less in stride. There's been a couple of...violent reactions, but nothing too outrageous."

Someone did threaten to kill him, but nothing came of it.

"'Breaking them in' indeed, honestly. I'd ask how many you chased off over the years, but I'd probably regret it."

With the arrival of the turbolift on deck seven, he sweeps his arm like the dandy he rather is. "Our temporary accommodations."

[ex_old_man857]

"Hey," Jadzia responded, shooting Julian a little look. That was hardly fair, if even a bit accurate. Or quite accurate. She didn't have to admit to anything though, and wasn't going to.

Still, she gave him another level look, which was broken by the way her lips started to curl upward, as she stepped off the lift an on to the deck. "Be glad I don't keep you around for your jokes. Or you'd be long gone."
