Take a dna sample from the dead bird and see if I can figure anything out.
Might as well use the one Pendle has already cut open. Sample taken and now figuring it out. Hmm... It has lungs! And endoskeleton! And beak, feathers, wings, legs and various organs, some familiar, some not. You may wanna take a look on bird itself if you want to learn more.
But first you must get yourself out of infirmary.
"Damn it, Pendle! A little more warning next time, will you?"
Jackson rubbed his arm and got himself disinfected, and got back into his normal clothes.
Head down to science. I want to see them examine these birds.
Comms to science/medical.
"No toxins? At all? What's it got then?"
You head to the labs where Pendle is staring the cut up bird. No one else is examining its insides except Dave, who is examining insides of its insides.
(I am unconscious?)
Dream of bugs and buggy stuff.
Your dreams are rather psychedelic, but filled with glowing bugs. Glowing bugs eating glowing plants. Psychic plants. Plants with glowing green eyes. In glowing space. The plant swats the bugs flat and speaks with green voice.
"Damn mosquitos."Do I still have my suit on? Turn on the comm and switch to our team's channel. Hey doc am I still quarantined? There's not much to do on this tub and I'd like to get back out there and help, y'know?
Yep, still suit on.
Go leave the tranq pistol in my room along with the darts, leave the bloody syringe in a drawer in Flameboy88's quarters and go back to the cafeteria.
You do all that and return to cafeteria just in time to finish your lunch before floating bed comes and takes you.
Cromwell stopped for a second and flipped his comms switch over to a different channel.
"Guni, did you see what part the bird stung you with? Was the beak, talons, what?"
He looked over at Pendle.
"Did you just check around the head and beak, or did you do a full exam of the entire body? That thing had to have done something to her. If it's not a toxin..."
He switched back to the comm.
"That's a negative on being released, Guni. We need to find out what happened to you first."
He looked back at Pendle, Mark, and the others around him.
"Find anyone in base that's been in contact with Guni since she was stung, anyone acting sick, or just anybody that looks at you funny, and bring them to quarintine. I just got a very bad feeling about all this.
I'm heading down there myself, if anyone needs me."
Head to Quarintine, and station myself there for now.
Stationed in isolation rooms in infirmary. What will you do there?
"Very well."
Begin doing so.
Flip over to medical and security channels.
"This is Doctor Pendle. Head of Security has given orders for full quarantine of the individual Guni, and any who's come into contact with her between beginning of her fever-like symptoms and now, effective immediately. Nonviolent methods preferable, but you are permitted to use nonlethal force while engaging or enforcing quarantine. Lethal force is forbidden unless you are in immediate risk of death or severe injury."
((I would assume I'm not the only doctor on the ship, or at the very least we have bots capable of understanding verbal commands.))
Ensure robots are working as expected, and then willingly be quarantined.
Infirmary sends out its floating beds (which do have restraining arms) on your command, one floating next to you. You sit on it and it carries you into isolation rooms. The infirmary is protesting this, saying you should just put your helmet on and start working on situation. No point to prevent doctor from doing his work.
Comply with whoever and whatever.
Nice comfy bed floats next to you and then carries you into isolation room in infirmary.
Deliver a suit to Guni so she can still get work done while isolated from the rest of the crew
((Is anyone going to notice the blood on Alex?))
Bolded your action for you. Almost missed it.
Guni is already wearing her suit. Now you are stuck with two suits. And locked in infirmary.
Follow orders from head os security, do not take off suit.Dont want to get infected.
You do what you are told to do. Together with infirmary beds you round up everyone matching the criteria. Lets see who those people are...
Mark, who put her helmet back on right after she was found and did some lifting.
Jonathan Pendle, who treated her.
Dave, who was near her in labs in mornign. You bring him in just in case.
György, who was as well near her in the labs. You find him laying on floor unconscious. He probably overworked himself. Well, better drag him in as well.
You also find Alex in briefing room. He's dazing, drooling and bleeding from his neck. He's really in need of medical assistance so you hurry him into informary right away.
And now we have EVERYONE IN INFIRMARY! Some are locked in, some need doctor, some are just hanging here. This is terrific. Or terrifying.
