[Sickbay]: Round Five Scans and Vaccines

[ten_fwd_npcs]

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!]

"So I only have to lay down." It did sound easy and Yuna moved to do so, stopping only a moment to continue to stare at the machines.

"Um, yes. It was a big part of my world." Though it seems to be dying with each generation.

"That's right," Rory replies, as he ponders this 'magic' thing for a moment.

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."

[whereishe]

"Alright." She gave him a quick nod and moved to lay down on the scanner bed. She fidgets slightly as she waits curious to see what will happen.

Yuna wasn't used to these things and she was trying not to be jumpy.

[rorypond]

The scanner is quiet, a hell of a lot more quiet than the scanners Rory is used to back home, which still have a lot to catch up to in terms of technological advancement.

(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."

[whereishe]

She blinked a few times looking up at Rory in surprise.

"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.
