[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!]

In a nutshell, that's the whole point of this visit. Afterwards, if all goes well, people here won't be visiting the sickbay too often.
"So we'll do a quick scan and a vaccination and then you'll be ready to go. You'll also get a little more freedom on the ship, which is always nice."

"Alright! Hows it work?" She smiled at him.
no subject
Maybe not?
Rory hasn't had any particular experiences with magic doing odd things to the equipment, or making a fuss at all, so it's likely the sensors won't bother with it - or can't recognize it at all.
He smiles too, glad for her cooperation.
"Well, it's quite simple, really. The scan-bed over here will take a reading of you to detect any possible harmful, foreign illnesses.
"So have you got magic, then?"
no subject
"Um, yes. It was a big part of my world." Though it seems to be dying with each generation.
no subject
As he sets up the scanner, which honestly doesn't take long after all of the practice he's gotten over the course of his stay here, he makes a quick note in Yuna's file for 'magic ability'.
"Just lie still for a couple of minutes, it'll be over before you know it."
no subject
Yuna wasn't used to these things and she was trying not to be jumpy.
no subject
(Honestly, after all this, Rory's not quite sure how he's going to get back to doing his old job with the old equipment. He's getting awfully spoiled by the nifty gadgets here on the Enterprise.)
It takes a couple of minutes, when a light comes on as the only real sign that the machine is powered on. And then Rory approaches the bed moments later, offering Yuna a smile.
"Right. We're done with the scan. See? Nothing to it."
no subject
"Really? That's it?"
Yuna rose from the bed and then shivered.
"So am I clean?"
She was curious to see if magic showed up in scanners like this.
