[ Soooo… Peter might not be lookin too hot right now but he’s trying his damndest to suck it up for the camera. Granted he could look far worse, the fact of the matter is that he’s supposed to look like he runs the medby, not like he’s about to become one of its patients. But whether or not he doesn’t look 100%, Peter exhales in preparation before he actually addresses the camera he’s just turned on. ]
We know that the majority, if not everyone on board right now is sick. I also know that lots of people have already offered up advice and ways to help others- most importantly, we’re urging everyone to try to do something to help themselves. If you don’t trust the medbay enough to stop by, then at least take it easy. Do what you can to take care of yourselves. Stop trying to buck the system and pretend nothing’s wrong. It won’t help anyone.
That being said, if you do stop by the medbay, we do have ways to help. [ He pauses for a second, just so he can sigh, a frustrated note to what he’s about to say. ] We don’t have a cure but we can treat your symptoms well enough to offer some relief. There’s a variety of methods and resources we have to offer and even if you aren’t interested or just outright dislike the scientific side of things, then maybe you’d be more willing to take a different approach. All i’m saying is you have options, it doesn’t hurt to consider them.
We’re even starting to consider handing out chicken noodle soup to anyone who walks through the doors. And hey, if that sounds good to anyone, let us know, we’ll see if we can manage it. But, apart from that, i’m handing over this over for some more specifics on what we actually know about the disease we're all up against--
[Swivel camera to William Tsang.
Like his companion, he looks like shit. Everybody looks like shit lately. Still, he looks to be trying to maintain reasonable spirits, maybe for the audience's sake, or his patient populace, for all that he does not (can not) refute the bleak picture set forth by his companion.] Aye aye, this is William Tsang, medical officer. Right now we don’t fully understand the disease, but we’re working on it. We’ve determined that it is associated with a mineral deficiency in the body, and that knowledge is guiding some interventions.
Speaking of interventions-- lately we've had in more staff, and we've still got the resources-- both magical and technological-- that we've had for the last few months. That includes spells, potions, pharmeceuticals and now, apparently, mineral supplements. Symptom relief appears to last up to three hours at a time. Limits must be taken into consideration depending on what you take-- blood plasma concentration for drugs and herbs, cost to the caster for magic, potential complications in all interactions with the ship's... idiosyncrasies.
As such, these interventions are recommended largely if your symptoms is quite severe: loss of consciousness, repeated falling, high fever, intolerable pain, continuous vomiting and dehydration, that sort of shit. In general, we currently advise rest, fluids, and food.
Please keep in contact with each other-- make sure there's somebody you can talk to for help, that someone knows where you are in case of crisis. If you haven't got anybody, that somebody's going to be me. Or wee Petrelli there. [He jerks his head in the direction that Peter just went off-screen.] Do your best to discourage each other from giving in to really fucked up cravings. Don't think the nanites can sort out ingested needles or that sort of bollocks.
Thus far, known symptoms include these. [William holds up a tablet display.] If you experience any symptoms ain't on the list, please alert medical immediately. [A beat, and he remembers to press his face into a smile.] We also appreciate any information about when yous first started exhibiting symptoms, as research is ongoing. Cheers. And back to Pete--
[ Aaaand the camera’s back on Peter. ]
Think that actually covers all of it. For anyone that’s got any questions, feel free to ask. But more important than that, take care of yourselves.
