[Sickbay]: Round One scans and vaccines

[ten_fwd_npcs]

[ Captain's Log: a Meeting with the Senior Staff. Wherein Picard discusses what to do with their new, er. "Guests." ]







As you enter sickbay tonight, escorted there by Lieutenant Worf and his security detail, you may notice it isn't all that unusual. There are no terrifying devices or humming machines you could 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 Chief Medical Officer Crusher herself, she's well-groomed and kindly, wearing her teal uniform and a blue coat. No masks, no rubber gloves. The most dangerous thing about her is that maternal look in her eyes; the one that scolds you for not doing your homework, or leaving your dirty dishes in your room.

The crew makes no promises for Dr. McCoy, on the other hand. He isn't one of ours. You should probably watch your neck.

"All right, don't be shy," Dr. Crusher calls out as you enter. "Come in and sit down. It's just a scan and maybe a hypospray, nothing to worry about."

Probably.


[ooc: This is an open log for everybody. Tagging isn't mandatory, but going to sickbay 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 Bones McCoy and Beverly Crusher (NPC) on deck, so if you'd prefer one over the other just specify it in your tag. If you would like more details about sickbay, here's the wiki page. If you haven't made your OP yet, you can assume the doctors will want to see your character shortly after they arrive.]

"Honestly, sweetheart, you've told me enough in our previous conversation. I'm sure I can fill in the blanks." Oh, the swear words that wanted to seep out of that sentence. But child. No swearing in front of the children.

Then he gave her a smile. "No more scanners on your face. The bed'll take care of the rest and all you have to do is lay down."

"What's it doing?" she asks, though obediently she does shift to lie down. She wants to know what it could glean from her, so she knows what they know about her.

"Fully biological read out. Tells me what race you are, the position of your organs, blood type, that sort of thing. Your powers will read, but not enough to get a good measurement of them. That's what the last device was for."

He gave her a gentle smile before looking at the readings screen, making annotations as quickly as he could. He didn't want to make Sinthia lay down there longer than she had to.

"I should be healthy," she says quickly, eyes round. "I promise."

[shut_up_dammit]

He finished faster than he'd finished any patient. There were probably some typos but he'd deal with that later.

"Alright, you can sit up. We're done. Healthy, just like you said."

[abyssum_invocat]

"You're not angry with me because I don't want to be here, are you?"

[shut_up_dammit]

He looks surprised.

"No, sweetheart, why would I be angry about that?"
