[text] Doctor says, are you in?

[personalityquarks]

Hello, everyone! My apologies for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Strange, and I serve as the station's medical officer.

[This, presumably, would explain why they were RATHER BUSY in the aftermath of the Fissure expedition. Cough, cough.]

And on that note, I'd like it if everyone could stop by the medical lab for a moment or two, when you have the chance. I just want to do a check to ensure that no one's suffering any ill effects from the Fissure. There will be nothing invasive or nasty, I promise.

I'd also like to speak to Noctis, if you have time available.

[Feel free to respond to this post, or just drop in on the medical bay with an action tag!]

Go ahead. I haven't noticed anything amiss, but I'm not at all certain I would. It's not the sort of thing I've had any reason to train for back home.

Remind me to try and find you something on magical diagnostics. It will probably help to have out in the field, anyway.

[Glowy hand scan is a go!]

[dubiouslychthonic]

I'd appreciate that.

[She watches the glowy hand scan with interest, although she can't really tell what's going on.]

[Glowy hand scan glows.]

Nothing to be worried about, it looks like. Lower core body temperature than I'm used to dealing with, but I assume that's normal for you, since you're perfectly capable of taking care of the more mundane aspects of your health.

[dubiouslychthonic]

I should probably get you a basic reference of what my healthy readings are anyway, in case I'm ever incapacitated.

[And now that she thinks of it... it's not something she normally discusses at any great length, but if it becomes an issue, Strange is the one who'd have to deal with the immediate fallout.] If I ever do go into severe shock, there's a nontrivial chance of some... pretty dramatic long-term complications. Beyond what could be expected for most healthy trolls, I mean.

Well, this gives me a pretty good baseline to start with - heart rate, blood pressure, that sort of thing.

[On the other hand, someone programmed the androids with the ability to raise one eyebrow.]

What sort of complications?

[dubiouslychthonic]

Bioluminescence in the skin and eyes would be the immediately obvious one. The more... practical concern is that I'd develop a nutritional requirement for certain compounds normally only found in troll blood.

I'm currently completely asymptomatic and noninfectious, and I'll stay that way unless I get hit with severely depressed blood pressure and hypothermia at the same time. But it's a possibility.

...Hmm. We might be able to use the biological printing equipment if it comes down to that - right now Bottom's been mostly using it to make seeds and poultry eggs. I heard something about quail...
