Who: Zoe Hange
Broadcast: video to the entire fleet;
Action: at a waystation if you wish your character to get poked at by Hange... also open to the Red Fish naturally
When: November 16th, mid-afternoon

[She coughs a little before she gets her speech rolling. Hange looks like she feels like shit, and she kind of does, but her pure verve for science is keeping her talking here! She looks strained, but cheerful.]

Hey there, everyone - I'm sure the majority of you have noticed now that we have a bug going around...! I have a small sample group to work with, but I'd like to collect more, which is where you come in. I'd like to draw blood from everyone willing to give some, from both the sick and the healthy.

If you're worried about confidentiality, I can assure you you'll have no problem with that. I won't breach trust with a patient.

You can find the Red Fish at this waystation: [coordinates here]. I'll take samples anytime, but you can find me there for at least the next day or so. I'm in the Red Fish.

[And yeah that's where the ship will be, if anyone bites. Hange herself is in the lab, poking at the samples she has already. Buzz to be let in.]

no

[aberrant_type]

I'll be gentle with you!

[theboogieman]

did you not already in my sleep or something

[aberrant_type]

I could have tried that, but I think you'd have punched me in the face.

[theboogieman]

[aw she can't see him smirk a little bit.]

i'll get coils

[aberrant_type]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[This lab is gonna be crowded with three people in it. But, aw! It'll be fun!]

[amarant]

[ stands outside and makes bee noises Buzzing to be let in is one (1) immortal, healthy and reporting for duty. ]

[aberrant_type]

[Emblica she'll never hear you oh good idea. Once Hange actually registers that's the doorbell, she'll go get the door open. Then smile.]

Are you here to give me some blood? [Hange steps aside.]

Come on in.

[amarant]

[ Heading aboard a decent ship is always so surprising. ]

I had offered to help if you needed it.

[ And she's aware it's pretty much all she can do. ]

...it would be nice if this works, it's a shame to see you unwell.

[aberrant_type]

Yes... well, I trust if we work hard at it, we'll see good results! [She reaches out and smooths her hand over Emblica's hair.]

Let's go to the lab. [She knows Emblica knows where it is, but she'll lead the way anyhow.]

[amarant]

Ideally, yes.

[ Hange she is not worthy of your being nice :(

Falling into step behind her, though. ]

Do you need more food yet?

[aberrant_type]

We're doing all right so far, I think... have you been growing still? [Hop skip and a jump, and they're there.] Have you had blood drawn before?

[amarant]

Not as much as before, but it isn't easy to work with anything else aboard the ship.

...no, I haven't.

[aberrant_type]

We can specialize, if you want. We can talk to other labs, but for now, I'll take the medical issues if you cultivate things.

Anyway, let me know if any of it is upsetting. I'll talk you through the process anyhow.

[amarant]

It would be best, if others wouldn't mind handling medical issues for my ship.

[ She doesn't exactly like to refer to it as hers, but that's kind of a secondary issue to the whole being useless deal.

And it's definitely something that bothers her. ]

I've seen blood before, it shouldn't be a problem. But I appreciate it.

Filtered; voice

[wilder]

[He sounds like he has a cold. Also, he sounds rather apprehensive]

What exactly are you going to do with these samples?

same

[aberrant_type]

Analyze them for contaminants and see what I turn up.

[WHAT DID YOU THINK KANEIS]

[wilder]

[LOOK THE LAST TIME SOMEONE TOOK SAMPLES OF HIM, IT ENDED IN CLONES. KILLER CLONES. OK]

And...then they'll be thrown out when you're done?

[aberrant_type]

I suppose, if the donor insists...

[wilder]

[There's a pause]

Fine. I guess as long as you're not planning to do anything weird with it...

[aberrant_type]

What kind of weird thing would I do with your blood?

[wilder]

I don't know! Just last time someone took samples, it ended badly- that's all!

[aberrant_type]

Ohh, a bad experience! Well, I promise I'll be very gentle with you. My bedside manner is great!

[wilder]

[...]

Sure. Whatever. I'll take your word for it.

I can dock the Wonderduck at the station within an hour.

[aberrant_type]

I'll be here! Just buzz when you're outside the ship and I'll let you in!

[As... enthusiastic as usual...]

[wilder]

[So enthusiastic....it's still so very weird]

Right.

[And he shuts off the communicator. Like he said, it's a good hour before they're able to dock at the station she specified and make sure everything's good to go. But sure enough eventually, he's at the Red Fish's port- unenthusiastically ringing that buzzer. He's still crazy reluctant about this, but he knows well enough that the more samples they have- the better chance they have of figuring out a solution. And he's damn tired of this cold.]

[aberrant_type]

[She comes to the door to let him in after only a couple moments, after she tunes back in to the world from her work-concentration. Once there she smiles and steps aside to let him pass. This is the first time they've seen each other in person, isn't it?

She has a sharp-featured face that shows every strain, really. And because of this it's evident that she feels kind of like shit. Still, her smile is friendly.]

Welcome to the Red Fish, Kaneis.
