without getting all sciencey on me -- what's it made upof? just chemicals?

[doc_pompous]

No, it's organic. Just artificially grown.

[allbloodyhail]

Which to me, means...?

[doc_pompous]

It's not made of chemicals. It's made of...what blood's made of, it's just made by an artificial process as opposed to a natural one.

[allbloodyhail]

and you're SURE there's nothing else in it?

[ not that he'll believe simon anyway!!!! ]

[doc_pompous]

Yes. Have you tried it? That's not meant to be rude and my apologies if it comes across that way. I'm just genuinely curious about the difference.

[allbloodyhail]

No I haven't.

[ he almost leaves it at that but then remembers he is trying to not be a jerk. ]

one girl said it made her sick, but she's the type that's got to feed live. like an Anne Rice one or something? I was just trying to figure if there was any way to get animal blood to the ship for those of us who can

[doc_pompous]

We have some livestock in the Oxygen Gardens. We could synthesize blood from a sample, see if it works.

[allbloodyhail]

I may have already got the other doctor in on this. McCoy? Wasn't sure if you'd want to help me after I yelled at you.

You guys work together, right?

[doc_pompous]

Doctor McCoy, yes. My colleague. He knows what he's doing.

[allbloodyhail]

Alright so. You two can... synthesize some animal blood then? Just like you did the othe rstuff.

[doc_pompous]

We can. If it proves inedible we can discuss other options.

[allbloodyhail]

[ oh god here comes the hard part... ]

I appreciate this, doc.

[doc_pompous]

[u did good, Spike]

Don't mention it. It's not a problem.

You down in medical right now?

[ because screw talking over the devices tbh. ]

[doc_pompous]

[Works for him.]

I'm always in Medbay, nowadays.

[hypospray]

Just making sure. Stepped out to warm myself up in my room. [ See also, take a nap, maybe, hard to say. ]

I'll be down in ten. Imagine you already know what I wanna talk about.

[doc_pompous]

[Taking naps is good, you take those naps.]

I imagine I do, unfortunately.

[hypospray]

[ No one wants a sleepy doctor, it's a little known fact of life. ]

No one was gonna be able to talk him out of that mess anyway.

[ That's the last thing he says before he actually makes his way down to the medbay and he doesn't even miss a beat when he sees Simon. ]

Best case scenario, none of them get hurt. Worst case scenario, they all manage to get hurt to varying degrees if not get themselves killed.

[doc_pompous]

[Simon can definitely appreciate picking up a conversation exactly where it left off.

He offers a little shrug. There was no way to talk any of them out of it, and he's glad there's some kind of concentrated effort, instead of a pitchforks-and-torches-bearing angry mob.

I gave them first aid kid. Emergency supplies. Space blankets. We weren't going to talk him out of it, but we can at least try to minimize the damage.

Hello Doctor Tam,

It's Nina. One of the nurses from Medical.

[Yes she originally contacted him in regards to joining the team, but in her experience with Doctors, they don't tend to be great with the whole remembering one nurse from the other. Also, there's a lot of people aboard.]

There's something I'd be interested in discussing in the medbay, when you've got a spare minute there. It's isn't terribly urgent.

[doc_pompous]

[Simon's response is prompt--he's usually in Medbay, after all.]

Of course. You can come in anytime you like, I have time.

[little_bullet]

Ah. Right, I'm not far off. I suppose I'll see you shortly. [Well, that was surprisingly easy. Doctors tend to enjoy making a point to others how time poor they are.]

--> Aaaaction?

[doc_pompous]

[He's in the Medbay as promised--not necessarily idle, but with the welcome lull of people being sensible and not trying to kill each other, Simon's found some time to catch up on paperwork.

Which does, of course, mean that he's looking for excuses to not do paperwork.]

Action is good!

[little_bullet]

[When she wanders in, Nina gives Simon a moment. She's not exactly demanding his attention from the paperwork.] Doctor Tam, I appreciate your time. [She does, even if she's hesitant how readily it's actually being offered.]

I wanted to talk to you about this- blood donation thing, at least the donations that relate to the Vampire food sources. [Yes, she's going to dive right in, Nina tends to be that way.] No one- [Well, Mitchell, George or Annie] -really seems to know too much about how to works, how closely it's monitored and by whom.

[She lets out a long breath, condensing matters.] I thought you might be the one to ask.
