As I have been assigned a position on the team of xenobiologists here, part of my duties includes taking a sample from each and every being on this ship. I assume it is strictly for record purposes, and such information may aid the medical staff if something unfortunate should happen.

At the earliest convenience, everyone on board will come to the medical bay for a blood sample and a few questions. Each session should be brief; we wouldn't want to keep you from your other preoccupations.

[[Okay, here's how it's going to go down! This is both apparently an actual thing listed under the xenobio job department, and an excuse for Alexander to be a massive creep and cause a little pain to others while getting some blood. Bad habit, that.

Problem is, I don't like needles. Yeah, worst mun for the job, I know. So all of Alexander's work is going to be off-screen, but if you could put an ooc note in this post stating what he might have found out (Name, original species, special abilities, blood type/colour, pain/fear level in regards to needles or creepy old men in general, and anything else of interest), that would be fantastic!

If you're the kind of person who really would rather play that scene out, our Kabuto mun is going to start a log for the same purpose as well. Anyone else with a character going into that department is free to join in there, persuade Alexander to let them help him instead, or whatever!]]

Why not? With equipment such as this, it should be painless.

[Relatively speaking.]

I hate hospitals. I hate doctors. I hate needles and I hate creepy freaks who are way too excited about using needles.

And I hate being told that I "will" do anything.

[This is the part where Alexander stops to consider that he is in a place where A) there are no terrifying monsters to do his bidding and drag people right down to the med bay, and B) he is in a place where he has no authority at all. This ship vexes him more by the day.]

Your insults aside, this is a requirement.

Okay. Send someone who I have any goddamn reason to obey to tell me that and I'll -

[pause while Heather barely refrains from saying "tell them to kiss my ass", because there's bluffing your way out of your fear and then there's inviting trouble]

-think about it. You've got humans all over the place here! Why the hell should you need to poke a hole in me?

[WELL, he'll try and be more diplomatic with her, at least. Just smiling and trying not to put her on edge as much as possible.]

It's just a small prick and a little bit of blood. It's done for your own sake in case something has been done to you here and you're not aware of it or if you have some sort of disease or sickness you didn't know about that can be cured or stopped.

Sincerely, if you let me do it, I'll make sure to make it as painless as possible and so that you don't bleed or are sore afterward.

[Yeah she's switching to video finally, because she needs whoever this other guy is to see that she's doing her very sweetest smile as she avoids the oh-so-tempting "small prick" joke and says:]

Oh! That makes sense. I mean, if it's all for my own good, and you'll do your very best to make sure it doesn't hurt, then sincerely...

eat me.

[and with that Heather will be hiding, ignoring her communicator and trying to replace her stupid blood with booze.]
