[Sickbay]: Round Four Scans and Vaccines
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!]
no subject
But he shook his head at the question. "'m fine." Which was only partly true. His breaks had been healed and he was physically fine. But mentally, he was still confused and a little scared, hence being around sickbay so much.
"What's wrong with you?"
no subject
Dylan gives him a half-smile.
"You were down there on the planet, weren't you?" he asks. "I was, too." He pulls a face. "Unfortunately, my body burns food faster than normal, so being down there with nothing to eat for three days knocked me around."
He's still not pleased about that; it shows a little on his face.
It just seems ridiculous to him to be stuck here when there were people seriously hurt down there and everyone else was fine after three days without food. Most of the time, he's grateful for his Heavy Worlder heritage.
Sometimes, it sucks.
no subject
"Not eating for three days isn't exactly good for anyone. At least no one died, right?" He was pretty sure that was the case. He hoped it was. "And the technology here is much better than back home. I like it."
no subject
He's less certain that nobody died than Henry is. Dylan and Irian -- Commander t'Aumne -- had spoken about that, down in the cavern when the earthquake had first struck. Neither of them had thought it particularly likely that nobody had died, but it seemed that nobody from the ship had, at least.
"No, it's not. It was just a little worse for me. But we all got back, and everyone's on the mend, I think."
Dylan nods at what Henry says about the technology, though it's not the case where Dylan is concerned. The technology, much of it, is primitive in comparison to his own, though there are some things that are beyond even the best minds in the Commonwealth.
"You should see the technology where I'm from. But some of this technology is stuff even we don't have."
no subject
He liked Rhade too but Nietzscheans couldn't be perfect. He'd have to figure that part out by himself though unless there were more people from Rhade's world here on the Enterprise.
"Are you from even more in the future than this then?"
no subject
There's a name he knows, although he's still getting used to the idea that this is not the same Rhade who had betrayed his Commonwealth and his captain. Telemachus had betrayed him, yes, but it was for a principle that Dylan at least feels he could understand, even if he doesn't agree with it. Even if he still resents that Rhade's choice had taken Tarazed from the nascent Commonwealth.
"He's one of my crew," Dylan says, his voice soft and even. "Or will be."
He won't say anything else about that, though, not unless Henry asks. It wouldn't be just to bring his own personal disagreement with Telemachus Rhade into this time and place with him. Not after the conversation they'd had down on the planet. Not when Rhade's perspective is one he can almost understand.
Henry's question makes him smile.
"Yeah, I am. Over two thousand years in the future. I came here from the year 5168."
no subject
He sounded a little happier to have found something in common with the man. And almost smiled. Then heard the date and his eyes widened.
"Whoa..." He breathed. "So this must all be really primitive for you, huh?"
