[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!]

"Yup. My professional medical option. We're all crazy here. This is the turbolift for crazy people." Ezri stopped talking. She was trying to hard. Just be yourself, Ezri. But which self am I being?

"I think those drinks are sounding better and better. Just as long as you talk to me too. And you let me know if you need to back out. Deal?" Ezri held out her hand as the lift stopped and opened.

"Wonderful." We're all mad here, apparently.

He looks at her hand, a small, lopsided smile on his face. She may not be the Dax he's used to, but she is Dax. And different, too. Captain Sisko had gotten used to it with the change from Curzon to Jadzia, he could too.

"You know it's harder to get me to stop talking," he quips, reaching out to take her hand. "Deal."

"Yes, I do know!" Ezri grinned, remembering all those times Julian would talk and just wouldn't shut up. It was adorable.

"I know this is weird for you. It's weird for me too. From my perspective, we've already done this song and dance. But, you havent had a chance to get used to me, or the entire situation already. So let me know if I'm forgetting and charging full speed ahead. Okay?"

She couldn't expect him to react like Benjamin. Benjamin had known Dax through 3 lifetimes now. Julian was just starting to get to know Jadzia.

Excuse you, he is not 'adorable'. Handsome, he'll accept.

"Temporal Investigations is going to have a field day with all this," Julian mutters as he steps out of the turbolift, letting his hand drop back to his side. He's adapted to some fairly shocking things before--this is no different. At least, that's what he's telling himself.

"Temporal Investigations doesn't have to find out." There are more than a little Jadzia and Curzon in Ezri, and she had a bit of a pension for breaking the rules. Or, just forgetting the rules exist and doing whatever she wanted.

"What they don't know, wont hurt them."
