[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.

[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.

[last_centurion]

Not a logical purpose, no, but people who go without dreaming for long lengths of time can go a bit round the bend. It's meant to reset the brain I suppose; get it ready for more information the next day.

I'm not an expert at all, but I'm sure there's a councilor on board that would be willing to explain the whole theory of dreaming.
