Hello to the residents and crew of Transmigration 9!

I am probably already known to some of you, but I believe it's time for a formal introduction. I am Dr. Samuel Henderson, Head of the Medical division. While I may appear at a glance to be far too young for the role, I would like to assure you all that appearances are deceiving.

My purpose today is to remind and inform you all that we are currently conducting mandatory physicals for all crew members. This is so that we may have a database of information from which to pull should it ever become necessary. What we'll be doing is a routine physical exam, bloodwork, have a conversation about your personal medical history, and, if applicable, about anything distinctive of your species that most people don't know about.

I want to assure you all that while I know a lot of people dislike being examined unnecessarily, this information is vitally important in a crisis, so that we do not do something that will harm your further. I assure you that we'll do our best to make sure the process is as quick and painless as possible.

I would also like to take this time to get our personnel a bit more organized, as obviously, conducting all of these physicals will not be a one-man job. If anyone with medical or healing skills of any kind could please either respond to this message or stop by the med bay at your earliest convenience, I would like to know what sort of specialties we have present. Of particular interest are those with ER and triage experience, since this is a war, after all. But don't let that keep you from stepping forward. Anyone with any kind of skill that may be useful in Medbay is encouraged to come forward.

Thank you very much for your time! And remember, there's always someone in Medbay if you ever have any concerns or if there is ever an accident.

--Dr. Samuel Henderson

((OOC: These physicals are being considered to be conducted in the background, so no need to thread them! But this is shipwide policy.))

Oh! Hello, yes.

I am Dr. Faiza Hussain, from the United Kingdom. On Earth. One where magic exists and there was a Skrull attack. It would take a while to explain.

I actually do have a fair amount of experience in emergency medicine and triage, as well as surgery. And I have some specialized skills that allow me to...well, deal with the worst sorts of wounds, so long as they are fresh when I get to them.

I would be more than willing to speak in person on these matters as well.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

No explanations necessary, Dr. Hussain. Where did you go to school, if you don't mind my asking? My mentor through college and Med school was from the UK, he attended Cambridge.

My office door is always open, anytime.

[couldputitback]

It's always difficult to tell what needs to be explained on the ship. But thank you, I'm glad you know.

St. George's in London. I'm an Essex girl myself, but I liked the atmosphere there. I didn't want to go too far from home.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

I just don't think we need to justify our various worlds. It's kind of not fair, you know?

Alright. I'm born and bred in Chicago, and I went to Loyola, so I can understand the sentiment. I love the city.

Zetta: still avoiding his physical

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Minion of the Overlord, transcribing:

No one has ever freaking explained how the hell you're going to do a physical on ME!

Re: Zetta: still avoiding his physical

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

We're willing to adapt the process to suit everyone's specific situation. Please stop in, and we'll see what we can do for you.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

That's not an answer! That's a cop-out!

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I haven't met you, so I can't say anything more specific than that. And generally speaking, I don't like discussing people's situations in a public space like this. So please, do come in.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Yes. I will get right on that.

[Minion's note: Zetta is looking about shiftily, in the manner of one being deceitful. This is probably necessary to understand the actual meaning behind his statement.]

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

Thank you for that. I'll have to catch up to him later on.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

...What the--?!

ZETTA BEA

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

What? Don't do that! What-- Where are you?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

Are you sure, or is Zetta just telling you to say that?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

We had a slight weapons malfunction, but, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine, we're all fine here, thank you.

How are you?

THIS IS THE CLOSEST THING I HAVE TO A TROLL FACE OTZ

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

We're sending a squad up.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Uh, negative, negative. We have a, a reactor leak here, ah, now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

Who is this? What's your operating number?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

ZETTA BEAM!



Boring conversation anyway. Minions, we're gonna have company!

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

You two shouldn't joke about things like that. It might worry someone about the integrity of the ship.

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

Well, I knew you weren't going to make the joke! I couldn't just let that one hang out there.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

It'll be a bit of a change from knowing my doctor personally...how accustomed are you to the variety of physiologies we have here?

((Incidentally, Signum is probably going to do a triple-take when she sees Dr. Henderson in person, just because. She'll get over it quickly, though.))

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

I will admit that this will be a unique challenge, but the benefits of collecting this information are worth it. We do ask for patience from those that are a bit more unique than your average human.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

That shouldn't be a problem. I have plenty of free time, and I don't believe I'm all that different from a natural human at this point, anyway. I was mostly just curious.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

Not a problem, Miss. I appreciate your cooperation.

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

I don't see what age has got to do with it as long as you know WHAT you're doing.

Anyway hi! I'm Allenby. I know first aid but I've never had to use it outside of training. But if that's ever helpful let me know!

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you Ms. Allenby. I appreciate your support. I look a lot younger than I actually am. Where I come from, I had to justify my position a lot because of it.

[8wings.livejournal.com]

Doctor -

I'm glad to hear the examinations are under way. Please let me know if you need any database help.

I've taken some emergency medical training, but it was geared to a much less humanoid-centric crew than this one. I would appreciate the chance to learn more.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

Actually, a bit of knowledge of non-humanoids would be invaluable. Things being the way they are, there's no telling what we might run across.

[8wings.livejournal.com]

I would be more than happy to share what I know.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

You're a huge help, as always, Anwei.

[notlewis]

A good post, amigo. Let me know if you need any help with the examinations beyond what we already discussed.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Dr. Sera. I will keep you informed.

[maguspuparum.livejournal.com]

What a waste of time. Listen, I'm either alive or dead, there's not any kind of middle ground for a doctor to worry about.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

I understand, Ms. Evangeline, but with the way things are, I wouldn't be surprised if there was something that even your physiology couldn't cope with. Or an influence you could inadvertently have on someone else.

[maguspuparum.livejournal.com]

In that case I'd probably do better with a priest than a doctor.

Well, whatever. How about this: I get a question for each you ask me.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

I suppose that sounds fair. I don't have any trouble with that.

[silverytongue.livejournal.com]

What does all of this entail, exactly?

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

It'll be your standard full physical. You'll be given a complete exam, and we'll go over your personal medical history. If anything comes up in your tests, we'll let you know afterward.

[veryshinyknight.livejournal.com]

As long as I don't have to deal with tentacles, I suppose I can endure.

[needs-release.livejournal.com]

No, I assure you this will be tentacle free. Not needle free, but tentacle free.
