Morning, Tranquility. This is William Tsang. I'll be taking over as Chief Medical Officer down here in Medbay for the timebeing, in absence of 1) Peter Petrelli, may his time back in his homeworld be characterized by frequent adventure and beautiful companions irresistably drawn to his ample brown-eyed lust for both, and 2) a specified succession procedure. Hopefully with this change we will see an end to the last of our technological cockups for a bit.

I'm familiar with our equipment and our staff and our weird plagues. I will be referring out appropriately.

Hey. Hello, recon. [William's face flickers into view, medbay in the background. The camera wobbles because he's putting the comm device down after thumb-typing fastidiously in what he felt would be the least time-consuming format for the PSA's audience. He looks normal/slightly hungover.] I'll keep it short.

I been hearing about symptoms experienced by some of us who we's went into the corridors under Commander Shepard. Unlike the syndrome we experienced this past cycle, no two set of symptoms seem alike. Some is emotional, others physical, or behavioral. The degree of impairment is likewise variable. For some of us, they seem to come in and out, possibly coinciding with stress or situational factors. I've yet to confirm everybody's suffering some shit, obviously-- but if you are, know you ain't alone.

If anybody's got a fix, I'm sure we'd all appreciate to know about it. If you'd like to discuss, I'll be in the medbay. I'd also like to run some tests, if you're amenable. No bonesaws, promise. Cheers. [His hand thumps the lens once before the disconnect.]

Better you than me. We're not missing anyone else?

private, cheerfully filtered to other medstaff

[dogbane]

cheers, dr. G.

Far as I can tell we managed to keep everybody else last jump yeah. we've actually got loads of people compared to when I first came in. it's excellent.

also private etc.

[dogbane]

if i can get my nanites to blush maybe also none of us will be missing our fucking fingers from uncooperative hydraulic doors also.

[fullmoon]

I hope you make people call you Chief.

[dogbane]

that would def be an excellent display of my qualifications. I'll pretend not to hear the little bastards until they do

[lightmagic]

Remus.

[ is she loling a little, maybe. ]

aggressively unfiltered nothing to see here ok

[makedo]

congratufuckinglations

[ he already agreed to tests, didn't he? no need to talk about his symptoms again. ]

[dogbane]

Thanks dad

[axeyou]

Wow, congratulations.

[100% genuine and heartfelt can you read the sincerity here]

IS THIS TOO SOON CEE

[dogbane]

im here to glue your arm back on anytime you need. but just so we're clear there's easier nanite extraction than all that, these days.


If not actually a better idea.

[majestyofthethrone]

Are you happy about it?

[dogbane]

[it takes him bizarrely long to answer. I mean he could be doing any number of responsible medically-related things that would keep him off the comms, but he knows he's being weird, squinting at the message, even if nobody else does.]

you know how it goes. but if you know someone who would be were this them will you let me know

[lightmagic]

Shall we be calling you chief like Remus suggested?

It feels strange to congratulate someone in light of succession through disappearance, but all the same: congratulations, I think it's a good fit.

private.

[fullmoon]

Do it for me.

[dogbane]

Excellent. we'll be in touch.

My fingers webbed together during the ship-wide plague, but that doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary compared to what other people went through. You mean people who actually went into the halls are doing worse?

voice; recon filtered also

[dogbane]

Well--

[William isn't really sure 'worse' is the correct term, considering some of the symptoms may have adaptive utility. Sleeping less without experiencing fatigue has had a profoundly positive impact on his work.] Ain't sure about worse, especially considering some of those people in Stage 3 were experiencing major organ failure. But this is definitely additional syndromes.

Speaking from my own experience, I'd take this over Stage 3 091S-nanite infection anyday. Still creepy, though.

Ample brown-eyed lust?

[dogbane]

They looked brown when we was talking, im pretty sure

[recon filter]

[circumitus]

What sort of tests?

recon filter

[dogbane]

Brain scans, see if unusual activity lights up when symptoms is triggered, same for changes in blood chemistry. Basic neurological screenings. There isn't a lot we can do without a premorbid workup but I feel better trying bloody something.

[High praise. But she's not calling him chief.]

Cheers, Ms. W

[oratoris]

Then I should introduce myself formally.

Jean Grey, new to the medical staff.

[dogbane]

Very nice to make your acquaintance Dr. Grey. You're a medical doctor, aren't you?

[stimulations]

Medical does seem to be experiencing a lot of turnover recently, doesn't it? Either way, congratulations on your new position. I imagine with everything that was happening last month, Peter didn't have much chance to mention my proposal about therapy to anyone.

[dogbane]

He didnt get around to it no. Do enlighten us!

RECON.

[wiped]

You can run tests if you want. You've already--you know. It's fine.

[dogbane]

All right, thanks bruv. I hope we'll be able to learn something fucking useful.

[dogbane]

Sure. Any of the doctors are up to it too and we've got quite a few. What was you having filled?
