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!]

The Doctor here is used to plenty of odd stuff, so she figures it makes sense to give the details. Besides, not like anyone else can find the Fountain now.

"My parents found the Fountain of Youth, my mom was pregnant with me at the time. Far as I know, I can't get sick. Leastaways never have, and that's with being just about everywhere there was to go on Earth."

Eating is more complicated. "I /prefer/ to. When there's plenty, I do better when I can. But I don't need to. Actually, I can go a couple weeks on almost nothing, and so far, most of a week in the desert without water. Just means I'm extra starved and need to load back up when I can eat. Doesn't come up often, since I can manage on stuff that most folks can't digest, or that's mild poison to most. If any of the local critters can live on it, I probably can."

"Well that does make things easier doesn't it. Will giving you a vaccine or antibiotics interfere in any way?" Sam sounded like a mix of Heavy Worlder and Nietzschean, if she could digest pretty much anything. It was an interesting thought.

"And remember, just because you couldn't get sick in your universe doesn't mean you can't get sick here. If you feel odd at all or want anything checked out please come see us. I'd rather we have a little too much data on nothing than have you fall ill unexpectedly and not realize it. "

"Yeah, no problem. Don't think it will interfere, and my dad was a Doctor, so I'm used to the idea, leastaways, even if I've never been sick. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll let you know if anything ends up feelin' off."
