Who: Mordin Solus
Broadcast: Fleet-wide!
Action: Marsiva!
When: Right meow

[Hello, Flooters. There's someone very decidedly alien blinking into the feed, mumbling to himself.]

Curious, recording? Ah, hello. Mordin Solus. New arrival.

[Those words were deliberate, these next ones are a bit more rapid-fire. He seems a little...distracted, kind of manic.]

Curious about implants. Is there a clinic? Doctor, professor, comfortable behind lab bench. Would also like samples from other captives. Where are you from? What races are present? So much data, too many variables to account for via video transmission. Need to study, research. Too many variables, need hard data.

[ Wow. That's a type of race he's never seen before. Huh. Though after all his time in weird spots, he barely notices it. Especially when this guy is...talking really strangely. Lord, he hopes it's not a sign of a mad scientist. ]

There's clinics on the smaller ships, if you have a lab assistant aboard.

[xenoscientist]

Curious. No central hub? Every ship have clinic?

[He tilts his head a bit, blinking his large eyes.]

Video

[save_the_souls]

Not every ship. Not every one had a lab assistant.

But no, no real central hub. No one really has the resources to build one.

Video

[xenoscientist]

I see. Curious, problem. Needs solution. Unless...

[He brings a hand to his chin.]

If illness is prevented. Implants made on arrivals on large ships, could inoculate against illness. Still does not account for injuries. Incorrect hypothesis. Disregard.

Video!

[innercactus]

[ Oh! He can help with a few of these! ]

I am a lab support here! Here is my ship, though. But I was learning to be a Mender, home. [ Before he made bad life decisions. Maybe he should try getting back into it, home.

... Let's ignore the samples thing, it wasn't a question. ]

I am from... ... Tyria! and I am a Sylvari. So far, I am the only Sylvari here, so I will not be surprised if you are confused. [ By what a Sylvari is, other than "clearly made of plants". ]

Video

[xenoscientist]

Sylvari, not familiar. New race, first contact. Would like to examine, study.

Video

[innercactus]

We are new. [ Asteffiel agrees happily enough with that.

But then he is worried. He wasn't around when Sylvari first met the Asura, but he knows from snippets of memories in the Dream. Their 'study' had been the killing of saplings. ]

What .. would that be? Your examine.

As Allen said, there's currently no central clinic. I've discussed making one on the Iskaulit- that's the big ship following along with the Fleet- but we lack sufficient income, supplies, and staff to handle the load.

[xenoscientist]

If there are plans, will follow lead. Can offer assistance- have established clinic with limited resources before. Particularly enjoyed challenge. Additionally, salarian metabolism requires less rest. Can work additional hours if coverage is concern. Will defer to experienced doctors, but can offer experience and time.

[forsometimenow]

It's more like there were plans, but I had to table them due to the aforementioned issues. If you have experience, though, I'd be happy to discuss the issue further. I want to make sure any patients have the best possible care, and if we're working with woefully inadequate staff or supplies, it almost makes more sense to stick to the on-ship clinics we do have for now.

[stefanged]

Looks like Dr. Keller and Allen've told you about the lack of a clinic. If you're up for the challenge, I wouldn't mind helping out.

There's space on the Iskaulit, so I'd check that out and see if you like the space they've thought about. As for me, I'm from Earth, and I'm human.

[xenoscientist]

Will coordinate. Willingness to help is most important part. Resources, money, those secondary.

Name?

[stefanged]

If you're sure. I wasn't privy to most of the planning, but I'm more than willing to help.

Right, sorry. I'm Stefan Salvatore. I wasn't a doctor back home, but I'm the medic on the SS Paisley, and I've got a few years of clinical experience.

[dancingmd]

Dr. Beverly Crusher, SS Blue Fish. Allen and I run the clinic on that ship, but I see others have already told you we do not have one central clinic for the whole fleet. However, I am willing to coordinate with others to set up and operate one. In fact, I have already started growing medicinal plants to help supplement our limited supplies.

[A warm smile.]

As to your other question, I am human, from... well, technically Earth is my home planet, though I only lived there for a few years. Most of my life has been spent on a Starship. You'll find humans are the majority here - why, I don't know - but there are several other species in the fleet. Moreover, most of us are not from the same universe, so even among the humans, there are a great deal of cultural and even physiological differences.

[xenoscientist]

Ah, space traveler! Colonist?

[And then he thinks.]

Other universes, particle physics. Not forte, but can understand theory. Chaos, small differences.

[dancingmd]

[She shakes her head.]

The Enterprise - my ship at home - is a vessel of exploration and diplomacy. A combination of Starfleet officers like myself, civilian scientists, and their families.

I can't say physics is my forte either, but yes, something like that. Though the differences here... they're much larger than I've experienced before. For example, many here are familiar with Earth and the other planets in the Sol system, but no one else has heard of say, Vulcan or Betazed or Qo'noS, important planets and peoples in my universe.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well, you seem rather... excited.

[Okay, maybe excited isn't the RIGHT word. But seeing as among this guy's first questions after waking up in a strange place is asking for samples? Vash has already decided to maybe try avoiding this guy in person for a bit.

At least Mordin asked. Thus, not completely avoided.]

[Voice]

[xenoscientist]

Think quickly, new situations offer opportunity for growth, for knowledge! Salarian mind very quick.

[He smiles a little bit.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well, at least you're taking this whole thing in stride I suppose. The name's Vash by the way. [Manners, he sometimes has them.] So, you're a doctor then? You know, the kind that make people feel better when they're feeling sick?

[zekken]

Wow. [ She knows about sci-fi and been through different VRMMOs, but it's a different feeling when you see an alien for real! Granted, she has already seen other races on the fleet, but they were way more humanoid. ]

Nice to meet you Mr. Mordin. So you're a doctor? What kind of samples do you need?

video

[xenoscientist]

Yes, xenoscientist, specialist. Tissue, blood, cells. Looking for anomalies.

Need lab first. Will reach out.

video

[zekken]

Uh... okay!

[ Flexing her fingers some. Maybe a little hesitant about offering a sample, though she's still not sure how her body's even real here. ]

Mm, sure, let me know when you get one. You just doing this to learn about everyone?

[notkittenaround]

[ She doesn't react with shock to his race, for she has seen far stranger than him. It is his words that worry at her, because she has seen too much suffering at the hands of brash and cruel research. ]

Of clinics, I am a lab specialist of the SS Huntress, and a Scholar of some repute. Of research, if you only study the willing, I will tell you of my kind... I hope that it is so?

[xenoscientist]

Ethical research only. Willing subjects donate tissue. I grow cultures, samples for further study. Would not dream of forcing tests on a subject, unethical.

[notkittenaround]

Then we are in agreement. I am a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te, formerly of Eorzea. I answer to Marhi Ohsi or Metallic Gold Magpie, so choose whichever pleases best.
