Eighth Gate [Video]

[forsometimenow]

Who: Jennifer Keller and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A unless you really want it...
When: December 10th

[Confidence. Sureness. That's what the audience wanted, wasn't it? As much as Jennifer hated playing up to them and dancing to Atroma's whistle to any degree, confidence was what was needed here, too.]

for those who haven't met me, my name is Dr. Jennifer Keller, and I'm the medical officer on the Wonderduck. Allen mentioning his blood drive reminded me... since we seem to be back on our ships for the time being and I actually have an infirmary again, I'm going to resume offering first aid lessons for anybody willing to learn. If you do have prior medical experience, all the better, but even if you have none, I can teach you.

Just let me know and we can set something up. Thanks!

[[OOC: Actual lessons will be handwaved.]]

That's the idea, yes- I know we're a little short on trained medics here as it is, so it'll benefit everyone. We don't seem to find ourselves in mortal peril all that often, but you know how unpredictable Atroma can be.

Yeah, I know. I don't want to be stuck without any help if we have to fight those other ships again. We were lucky last time, but...

[If it happens again, and one of his crewmates got hurt... they can't just be stuck without any means to do anything about it.

The next part, however, gets him to look a little sheepish as he swipes at the bridge of his nose a bit.]

I should warn you, though; I'm kind of, uh... squeamish. About some things. I'm trying to work myself out of it, but it's... a slow process.

Mmhmm. Next time, the ones who attack us might not be so merciful... especially if they're not under Atroma's control.

[She smiled at him.]

That's not a problem- we can work inside your comfort level. It'll pretty much just be wound care- bandaging, splinting and all.

[He's a bit unsure, but...]

Hmm... Yeah, I think I can deal with that. I'll be fine!

So, uh, when should the first lesson be?

[forsometimenow]

Good! And if you ever don't feel ready to do something, we can stop. Sound good?

Whatever works best for your schedule. I'm flexible, and trying to get a group together for lessons might prove to be difficult if we all have different schedules.

Sounds good. Thanks, Dr. Keller! I'm Clay Terran, and I guess I'm your new student!

I'm the captain of the SS Vanquish, so I'm kind of busy with paperwork and my own things, but later in the afternoon works for me. I'm usually not doing much by then anyway.

Sounds good, Clay. Your ship doesn't have its own medbay, correct? I'll see what I can do about giving you a list of supplies to keep on hand.

[geonomy]

Nah. Lab support is just about the only augment we don't have right now, so a list would be really helpful. That way we won't have to rely on other ships if a crisis comes up, you know?

[forsometimenow]

Exactly. It worries me that so many ships seem to be without one, but I guess there's nothing that can be done about it until Atroma gets ahold of more doctors.
