[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!]

Trance smiled at that thought, remembering. "I used to get all sorts of offerings. People remembered me. But a long time has passed and things are very different."

Trance had no doubt her temples were still on Tarn Vedra. The only problem was the planet wasn't exactly where it should be. Then again, neither was her sun; both hiding, waiting.

"That's kinda sad." Percy's seen the Greek Gods reduced to mere myths to the majority of the world. They get a far away misty-eyed look when they talk about past glories. "Does anything good happen to you when someone remembers to make you an offering?"

Trance paused, thinking about his question, before answering, "No, not really. It's nice to be remembered, and a bit inconvenient at the same time." That was why she went to such legnths to change her name and appearance. Still, she missed the old days. But wasn't that what she was trying to get back? Maybe something better?

Then it couldn't hurt to include her in his offerings before dinner. Even though, he's pretty sure the gods reach doesn't expand as far as space, he's not taking any chances. "I won't forget you," He promises, "And uh, I promise not to go blabbing your secret all around the place."
