[7] MEDBAY video;

[dogbane]

[ NO FILTER: MEDBAY RECRUITMENT ]

[For those who have seen William Tsang's typing at all in the past month or two, it comes as no surprise that he's opted for video. He's in his white coat, meticulously groomed and just as meticulously-- not hungover, the quiet sterility of Medical Bay all chrome and blue light behind him.] Oi oi.

If you've got experience or want experience in medicine or the healing arts, please apply today. You don't have to be a fucking brain surgeon, although we could use a couple more of those. [A beat. He blinks hard.] We've got need for: field medics and EMTs, psychiatrists, nurses, medical scientists, pathologists, pharmacists, robotics experts, magical healers, potion-makers, and people who just straight-up like to clean. We're making use of the volunteer program as well. Please give us a bell if you're interested and capable of learning. The nanites and other technology does a lot of the heavy-lifting, but we still really need personnel.

The past few clusterfucks, Medical Bay has become something of a stronghold. That stronghold is weaker when we're understaffed.

We have a few medical practitioners in these past few Jumps, although we've lost a few too. Our current staff is as follows. Contact them when you need help, and they'll do their best to provide an assist. Some are combat-ready, others prepped for room visits, and some operate strictly out of the Medical Bay.

[William attaches a spreadsheet, that is also carefully groomed of typographical errors.]

[ FILTERED TO MEDICAL BAY: ...WELL, SOMETHING! ]

So, [William's masque of sobriety and lucidity is probably less convincing to those of you who actually see him at work day-to-day. But he does look decidedly less run-down today, for the purposes of his video, than usual. And very gamely, he continues:] A slew of you lot are new. Some of you are really small, and might have even gone completely unnoticed since joining due to a general failure to be observed over the counter-tops. If I fucked up any of your task and ability descriptions, please let me know, and I'll-- [he gestures vaguely.] In any case, I should've made introductions earlier.

So here goes. Any of you guys ever played doctor?

[He hoists a morbid-looking dummy into view of the camera, its plastic chest-plate missing. Dozens of sockets for missing organs, all of its alarm lights off for the moment. Someone's competing for creepiest manifestation.]

Let me know if you want to do a meet-and-greet, and I'll set up the shift rotation. Whoever ain't on-call can maybe join in a toast to Dr. Simon Tam, Lúthien, Lily Potter, and Dr. Jennifer Keller, may they be remembered as those who held any number of passengers' herniated intestines in during disasters past. Updates and advisories on the ship's latest methods of confusing and killing us, also welcome.

Even if not, say hi to each other here, too. Some of you probably need friends or some shit. [William's understanding of psychiatric health ends here!] Cheers.

[hacker]

BONES? He actually told you to call him BONES?
That's either the funniest thing I've ever heard or the most morbid. What is he, part of a biker gang?

[dogbane]

He did some fnuny eyebrows when we first started using it round the lab btu

To be honesti don't know exactly where we got it from.

He could be part of abiker gang. I have yet to see him make any kind of vehicular atempt though never mind w fraternization

[hacker]

OMG this is great.
Bless you this just made my day.

[goodgodman]

[ This reply was prefaced by about five minutes of cussing, scowling and glaring at the screen. ]

God help me. I'm not in damn a biker gang!

Don't hang a man for a nickname he had zero control over! Hell, I can't even escape it in a new universe, much less the old one.

[hacker]

Well if it isn't BONES himself.
I'm imagining one of those halloween costumes. You know, the black jumpsuits with the glow-in-the-dark skeletons printed on them?

[dogbane]

If anyoen tries to hang you please le tme know.

Trying ot promote a safe work enviroment at least as mucha s the tq allows

(HOw did you get your nickname?)

[kutte]

[ DID SOMEONE SAY BIKER GANG ]

You sure you're not in a biker gang? I knew a guy named Bones who rode in one back home.

[goodgodman]

Oh my god. Why in hell is "Bones" listed with my name?

[dogbane]

Its oen of your names

Right??

AND I tihk it will make people trust oyu with orthopeds.

People break bones i nhere almost as often as they bleed

[goodgodman]

[ The last bit has Leonard face palming a lot. ]

It's just a nickname I picked up back at the Academy.
Frankly, only one person ever called me that and I have no idea how people here found out about it because I haven't told anyone.

[dogbane]

(I can change it

i think it was on alot of your old files alread ythough)

text. private.

[xerampelinae]

I'm glad to see administrative standards haven't slipped

private text;

[dogbane]

[William checks and double-checks that the line is private, a telling pause, even if he's been slow for awhile.]

just a few inches. so

well
How's the spa day?

[strayed]

Why are you keeping her on the list?

[dogbane]

Guess i can take her off thoughI mean i dont fully understadn what SECs plans are at the mometn

ahve you heard anything

[Video]

[tadashiwashere]

[Tadashi debates for several moments how he wants to handle the "Bones" fiasco. On one hand, he knows comedic gold when he sees it, but on the other he doesn't know the man in question well enough to subject him to his questionable sense of humor. Finally he decides to go for a more neutral approach.

Tadashi's video cuts in and he smiles. So far, he doesn't look anything close to exhausted. It'll be a few weeks before it's even noticeable that he's endeavoring to stretch himself too thin.]

Tadashi Hamada here. Just wanted to check in and say how much I appreciate the opportunity to work with the medical staff here. I'm hoping I can pull my weight and learn a lot from all of you.

[dogbane]

[Oh, video. Ninety percent lower possibility of graphic typos this way. Well done, team. William wobbles back into the lens in a moment, smiling. He's in a different part of Medical Bay now, sitting down with a bar of some type.]

Hey, Tadashi. Settling in all right? [he asks.] Have you had a chance to give that surgery robot arm suite thingy, [technical term,] a whirl?

[milagros]

Do I see before me a genuine MD? Are my eyes deceived?

( but on a more serious note that's still not copping to having seen (a lot of) natasi lately, )

If you need assistance training anyone in the basics, I mind that less than being sent patients.

( which she'd already established herself as willing to accept if and when necessary, so, you know. william is familiar with mila's ........... mila-ness. )

[dogbane]

yeah we finaly got one! hes got all kinds of surgery backgroudn and past exprience with working on a huge space vessel. leadership capacitye ven. military, so trauma wokr too. its fucking brilliant

[William could probably do to sound a little less excited about having someone aboard a thousand percent qualified to do his job, but there's no denying McCoy is an asset.]

Thanks. Il lkeep that in mind. Xg treating you well?

locked.

[kutte]

Absent, huh? You thinking that's gonna change anytime soon?

private too;

[dogbane]

No idea. I do know she ain't in the brig right now, but apart from that I ain't heard shit.

Did you know her?

[wiped]

I can't sign up officially. But I can help, sometimes.

[dogbane]

Appreciate it tommy. when shit hits we can use all the help we can get.

[dreamcrutcher]

[dogbane]
