[Someone has found their way into Medical and has been quite busy making himself at home. There's a lot to catch up on here, but there aren't any dark circles under these eyes. Not sleeping is the best benefit to being plastic]

Right, so I think we need a list of species on board since not everyone is human. I know the genetic guys are probably doing something about that, but in the even of an emergency they won't be taking care of you. From what I've figured out this equipment is all based on human physiology; we need to know what to adapt.

Um, the engineers will probably need to help. Oh, and programmers. I can learn, but I'm not an expert. Doctor, if you have time to look things over that would be good.

Also, if you have medical needs you can and should let me know so that I can update the database. Everything is strictly confidential.

Oh, yeah, and I'm Rory. Williams.

Needs of what kind? [ She feels weird, although being human is just 'weird' all around. (She's only hungry - she's not used to that feeling yet, or having to remember to eat) ]

[last_centurion]

Oh, well, medical like if you have an illness. I know some people were turned human when they came aboard so, I don't know, maybe people need information on how their new body works.

[unwaveringloyalty]

That would be somewhere to start. [ She should probably get on that. The guide on the network? Not entirely helpful ]

[last_centurion]

Do, um, do you have any questions?

audio;

[unwaveringloyalty]

[ LOTS ] Where is the medical area?

[last_centurion]

[Detailed map]

I'm here and I'll probably be here for a few days, so no rush unless you think it's an emergency or you just want to chat.

[unwaveringloyalty]

I will be there shortly. [ She's efficient. And hhas nothing to do ]

[In Medical Rory sat behind a desk going through the many manuals and pads of data over the various equipment and medications available in Medical. The moment he hears someone enter he turns and is ready with a grin]

[unwaveringloyalty]

[ Kristeva had arrived there quickly - walking had been the one thing familiar to her even if her legs were a little less stable than what she was used to. She didn't know who she was looking for, she'd heard that there were few in the medical bay but not having an image to go with the voice would be difficult, but as she stepped inside she simply watched. Noting the man that turned Kristeva walked over to him, hoping ]

You are Rory Williams?

[last_centurion]

Yep.

[He stood and held out his hand]

What can I help you with?

[unwaveringloyalty]

[ That hand is getting ignored, sorry Rory (it's a social nicety she doesn't know) ]

Information. You mentioned knowing the body.

[last_centurion]

Right. [He sticks his hand in a pocket and nods to the desk he's commandeered]

Have a seat and we can discuss anything you need.

[unwaveringloyalty]

[ And she does, possibly a little awkwardly - she's getting used to it, and she never had to sit before becoming human ]

How much do you know?

[last_centurion]

I'm a registered nurse and have extensive studies in my background, but if you would be more comfortable with a doctor...

[unwaveringloyalty]

Comfort is not an issue. [ She doesn't know what feeling comfort is - or feeling comfortable ]

I am unfamiliar with how humans work. [ Other than what she'd observed ]

[last_centurion]

Oh, okay.

[He's stunned for a moment as this wasn't something he was really expecting to be asked about even if he'd already learned of those who had been changed into humans]

Well, um, can I get an idea of what you do know? Feeding, cleaning, general maintenance?

[unwaveringloyalty]

I have been informed as to basic functioning.

[last_centurion]

And now you need specific, right? Okay, I can do that. First, um, do you know about procreating? There are a number of issues involved with that that specifically involve the female body, which, uh, you know, you have.

[In all his years as a nurse he has NEVER had to think about giving The Talk to a patient]

[unwaveringloyalty]

Information regarding procreating is not necessary. [ Romdeau citizens are ... different. Not that she knows if she is or not but it's not a vital function of her being ]

[last_centurion]

[He let out a small sigh even though he had mentally already prepared a very medical speech on the birds and the bees.]

Oh, okay, well, why don't you just ask me questions and I'll answer them?

[unwaveringloyalty]

Sleep. It is destructive to the day.

[last_centurion]

But necessary for the body. It give you a chance to mentally and physically rest.

Are you dreaming normally?

[unwaveringloyalty]

I am unfamiliar with dreams. It is not something I experienced before.

[last_centurion]

Well, uh, I can just tell you that dreams are involuntary and happen during sleep. Sometimes they're just nonsense, but sometimes they can mean things. There are people who get really into discovering the meaning of dreams and such.

[His voice holds a hint of what he thinks of such people wasting their time at playing amateur psychologists]

Really I think it's just a way of your mind filtering things. Dreaming is good for you even if the dreams might not be pleasant.

[unwaveringloyalty]

Then there is no purpose to it.
