ten_fwd | [Sickbay]: Round Five Scans and Vaccines

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.

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, 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: Sickbay is as always OTA! For new characters, tagging isn't mandatory but going to sickbay ICly 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 Trance Gemini, Beverly Crusher, and Rory Williams, with Julian Bashir by request only (and possible appearances by Simon Tam). If you have a preference, please specify in the subject line of your tag who you would like. 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!]

Oh, she's going to be a handful, isn't she?

"Tau Ceti III, I see," she hums, trying to place it. The rest of what Marika says gets a sympathetic look, but if Dr. Crusher was going to say anything more, she stops when her patient pushes the conversation forward.

Everything sounds pretty standard, up until she mentions radiation. That does make Beverly startle and sweep her tricorder over Marika with a bit more focus, but what she's saying seems accurate. "I concur with your ship's doctor. I would appreciate it if you would stay safely inside while you're with us."

Her mouth twitches. "Everything else seems to confirm the readings I'm getting. You appear to be in good health, which is very good."

Just a little bit of one. You'd hardly even notice until she takes charge of a situation. Or she presents you with a fait accompli. Reporting on things in the middle just leads to complications and getting bogged down after all.

"I'll do my very best," promises a sheepish Marika, "And thank you? I like to keep active."

And she took the anti-radiation drugs, before and after, as she had been instructed. Lying to your doctor is bad though - they need to know how you broke so they can put you back together. It's just that simple. And the Enterprise seems to be awfully good at the back together parts of healthcare, almost no one has visible cybernetics here like they do at home.

Beverly chuckles.

"There are plenty of ways to keep active on the Enterprise," she promises, picking up her hypospray. "Without having to venture outside."

She smirks. One last playful jab before a literal one, though as she promised, it's without the mess or the invasiveness of a needle. She presses the hypospray to Marika's shoulder, and with a hiss and a slight pinch the vaccine is administered. "This is just to ensure that anything our corner of the universe may expose you to doesn't affect you adversely. It's a simple vaccine, the worst you should experience is a small fever, if that."

She sets the hypo aside and keys a few more things into the computer. "Do you have any questions for me?"

Aww, but EVA has the best views, no matter how big the windows are in Ten Forward.

They are some pretty nice windows though.

"I don't think so?" offers Marika, "I have all sorts of questions, but they aren't really medical ones."

"I can understand that," Beverly nods, smiling wryly. "I think we all do, even those of us who have been on the Enterprise for years. This is all very new to us, but I can promise you that we'll make you as comfortable as possible while you're here."

She is reassuring, both in a motherly way and in a way of authority. Chief medical officer is nothing to sniff at, especially when you have some pull with the captain.

"My office door is always open, so if you think of anything don't hesitate to ask," she adds. "I think we're done for now. Your information is all on file, and I am officially clearing you from quarantine."
