[VIDEO] Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.
Dr. McCoy here, and this is a general announcement about something I think everybody on this ship could stand to hear about. So if you don't mind, I won't take more'n a minute of your time.
I know you're all gonna say you're adults and don't need any lectures 'bout the birds and the bees. But I also know that most of you are inherently reckless and tend to think you can beat anything that tries to pull you down through sheer stubbornness. I got no illusions that recent events will have hammered any common sense into places it never resided in the first place. And it's a fool's errand to think for one minute any of you are gonna abstain from sex just because there are risks. So let's address how you can avoid those risks, and we here in Medical can avoid wasting our time doling out STD treatments.
First things first: birth control, condoms, basic supplies for intercourse. Yes, we have 'em, and yes you can get 'em from us. All you gotta do is ask. See? Easy.
Second: sexually transmitted diseases. I can guarantee not a single person on this ship can name every STD lyin' in wait out there. We're from different places, different times, different species. A minor rash for one person could be deadly for another, so takin' a few minutes to get informed and take the right precautions just might be the difference between a decent sexual experience and a ship-wide outbreak of Andorian shingles. So I'm uploading some pamphlets, and I expect you to all take the time to read 'em.
Third: testing for sexually transmitted diseases. If you've been havin' sex since you came aboard and you haven't been tested, get down here and get tested.
[ This portion of the transmission ends with an uplink to a number of STD pamphlets, courtesy of Starfleet Medical. Imagine something like this CDC site, but with a lot of alien diseases added.
The second portion of the transmission is flagged to the Medical Staff AND those characters who volunteered in Medbay during the stasis sickness outbreak. ]
Okay, with that out of the way -- at the moment we have exactly zero patients checked into Medbay. Which in my mind makes this as good a time as any for a good old-fashioned We Ain't Dead Yet celebration. If you're on staff or you volunteered during this last crisis, you're invited. Feel free to bring a guest if you want, but keep in mind it's BYOB and I'll sedate anybody who gets out of hand.
[OOC: Yes, it has been confirmed that Medbay has birth control, condoms, lube, feminine hygiene products, etc. As far as the Medbay party, if your character is officially on the Medical Staff or you ICly OR OOCly arranged for them to be volunteering during the recent modplot, consider yourself invited. Plus-ones are also welcome.There will be a log shortly, which I will link here. Log posted here.]

[Alex may get it, but he's not in the best of moods, so he'd rather just spread his 'cheer' over the network.]
/THREADJACK
[ amuuuused ]
no subject
No.
[Not amused. Sexually frustrated grumpy-pants Alex is not amused.]
no subject
Not what I meant.
It's not... idiotic to get a little riled after almost dying, you know. I think that's normal. It's just pent up energy. You'd know all about that. [ she thinks she's SOOOO CLEVER get it alex because of your mutation, energy building up and ohwaitohmygod ] Not! Like that. I didn't mean it like that.
Just that-
And.
Right.
no subject
[Alex watches her, carefully, ignoring that she gets flustered. His past is very touchy for him, and he's had more than a few instances where he was in a great deal of trouble, and he did release energy.
And it killed people. So he isn't really appreciative of her analogy.]
I'd rather learn from my mistakes that nearly got me killed and become better, faster, stronger.
Not fuck someone just to make myself feel better.
[Not that he would know anything about that.]

[ hup that sobers her up quick ]
Alex, I don't-
I'm sorry, my mind doesn't go there when I think of your mutation, it doesn't go towards the negative. You have to know that by now. I haven't ever thought of you as some kind of-- threat? To anyone. Please don't mistake the way I talk about your abilities as a bad thing, I would never do that.
encrypted 100%
[Alex keeps looking at her, evenly.]
I am a threat. I've been in near death experiences--and while I have control over it now, you'd be amazed at what the body will do out of instinct to protect itself, regardless what that body's brain wants.
[His sister and her kidnapper, the two men in the showers.]
Since the beach? I've been in more than a few near death experiences. What I'm trying to say is that you don't know.
The way I have to deal with my powers, my 'pent up' feelings is a lot different from you--from Erik.
I contain and control myself because I know that if I don't, I become that threat. I become the monster people fear.
[This is more than he's probably ever said in one go to her. But it's a long winded way of trying to tell her that he knows what she's saying, but it's his own issue.]
encrypted 100%
[ because what else can she say? her mutation hasn't exactly brought on anything but negative results, not really. before she got here all it did was make her feel isolated, a threat to society simply because she was different. she was only ever self destructive though, while Alex's mutation had landed him in prison. she knows these things. she just hates the idea of that constantly weighing on him. ]
We should go swimming.
[ this is her answer to stress release. well, besides sex, but Alex obviously isn't-- not that she'd-- and. ah.
RIGHT SWIMMING. ]
Meet me at the pool?
encrypted 100%
But as self conscious as he can be about them, Alex knows he needs to get over it. It isn't as if people haven't seen him bare ass naked here, due to the stupid jumps.]
I'll meet you there if you give me directions.
I didn't even know there was a pool.

[He snorts.]
It's not the sex--it's a symptom of the bigger issue.
