[006] VIDEO

[doc_pompous]

[It's the familiar backdrop of Medbay, hurrah! Simon looks--you guessed it--tired, and he sounds--you guessed it again--exasperated. Cleanup after something like what just happened in Engineering is never very good for the sleep schedule.]

Before anyone asks--Charlotte is in the care of Medbay. She's stable, but isn't in any shape to receive visitors or answer questions. Please don't come to any medical staff requesting to see her.

We'll get what information we can when she's ready to give it. That might not be for some time. Right now, passenger health is the priority.

[And she is, in fact, a passenger.]

If you were...forcibly ejected from Engineering and require any further medical attention, please don't hesitate to see a doctor or nurse. We'll do what we can to alleviate any lingering symptoms.

[Should you go to Medbay with the express purpose of seeing what's up with this Charlotte lady, you'll find she is, as Simon warned, in no shape to receive visitors, drifting in and out of consciousness and in an obviously unhinged state. As she's clearly a danger to herself and others, there's an SEC guard near or around her bedside 24/7.]

I'd like to drop in anyway, if that's alright. To see her, only see her, and get a read on what you think happened.

[ His brother had come back ill, people were injured, and while Simon was tired, everything had been too damn quiet. He needs more information. ]

[doc_pompous]

That's fine. I'll be able to give you a more thorough briefing in person.

permavid.

[klutziness]

She said anything at all?

[doc_pompous]

She's disoriented. Anything she manages to say now can't really be taken into account.

[andblockbuster]

That was a trip.

[He is not even remotely okay, but he's totally gonna pretend like he is.]

just stop me from doing this

[chuffle]

Hey, cute identical twin, you okay?

[doc_pompous]

You went in.

[chuffle]

So wait-

Do we know how we got from point a to point b?

[doc_pompous]

Do you mean into and out of Engineering? I don't, no.

[askedtobe]

Any theories as to what's causing our- the symptoms? I'm just curious.

[doc_pompous]

Nothing beyond the usual. Obviously the displacement caused...something. Most of the symptoms we're seeing are exaggerated aftereffects of the jump.

( audio )

[pushfall]

It's probably a redundant question at this point but... is she okay? I know you said she's stable. What does that actually mean?

[doc_pompous]

Physically she was dehydrated and malnourished but thankfully that's easy enough to treat. Mentally, however, she's...well, confused. Disoriented.

[forgodssake]

Thank you for the update, I'm glad-- relieved-- to know she's all right. I'm afraid I don't know your name.

[ The man on the other end is polite. English, apparently. Innately curious. ]

Mine is Professor Charles Xavier, and I had a proposition to make. I understand you'll be quite busy, so I shan't take up much of your time.

[doc_pompous]

Sorry, I'm--Doctor Simon Tam. It's nice to meet you. What's the proposition?

[ video. ]

[mindtricks]

[ she's exhausted and still nauseous, but no longer to the point that it's debilitating. so maybe she looks a little pale, but she's functioning — and curious. ]

Will you let us know when she has recovered enough?

[doc_pompous]

I plan to, yes. Assuming she does recover.

[parallels]

[Clara is still sick and miserable, unable to keep most things down after her stint in engineering but... everyone's sick so it's no excuse to lie about.]

Do you think she'll be able to recover?

[doc_pompous]

I hope so. There's no telling how long that might be, however.

[dislimb]

...I'm sure glad I don't have your job. You've got an iron will. [ and he means that in the most positive way. ]

[doc_pompous]

[Let him tell you about his continued adventures in missing limbs]

It isn't a problem. Someone has to do it.

[throwsdown]

[Takeshi was one of the ones who was tossed from the engineering room — and sorta kinda knocked over an IV drip and unsuccessfully hit at the walls until his fingers hurt. But he's a little better, if not woozy and gross like half of the other people who left Engineering.]

M'okay... Just take care of my mom.

[Or else he'll throw you; this kindness is a bit thin this week.

Don't let her hurt more.]

Re: voice.

[doc_pompous]

I'll do my best, I promise.

[skjalf]

What does 'stable' actually mean, Doctor? That she simply will not die, or that she will recover?

I was hoping that no harm would befall her.

[ she feels like crap, herself. she can barely move without wanting to puke. ]

Do you have any ginger I might chew? I am unfamiliar with what else more modern medicine would use to cure a disagreeable stomach.

[doc_pompous]

It means, physically, she isn't in any danger. Her condition isn't declining, at least not at the moment. Mentally, however, I'm not sure what's happened to her. Hopefully we can help her recover.

I have medicines for nausea, yes. Would you like to come to Medbay, or should I send it to you?
