Day 255 | OPEN

Who: Yukio and anyone!
Open: Open
When: Day 255
Where: All over the Bastion
What: As the resident sorta-doctor-thing, Yukio's taking it upon himself to gather some important medical information from his fellow residents.
Format: Your choice! I'll follow~
Warnings: None.


[The lack of a thorough medical records on the Bastion is a tad frustrating. Yukio has bulging files on certain residents, those who need his care (or at least his consideration) more often, but the majority of the population is at least a partial mystery to him. People who don't need medical care often, or who simply refuse to seek it when they do. Heck, some people arrive without others ever knowing, lurking at the edges of things until necessity forces them to interact, and with the amount if time Yukio spends holed up in the hospital with his "homework"? There are sure to be people living right under his nose that he's not even aware of.

And that's just not acceptable. Especially after the incident with Ippo at the hospital. Even people who don't go out onto the Skyway can be injured at any time, and having some basic medical history could end up being the difference between life and death.

So, without any kind of dependable communication system, Yukio's opted to just hoof it around the Bastion for much of the day. Some people might encounter him in the Distillery, others might find him lingering around the apartments or knocking on doors. A few might even be approached in the lesser traveled fields or out of the way clearings. A very tidy-looking young man with a polite smile on his face, a clipboard in one hand, and a small otter-like Pokemon trailing at his heels, he's the epitome of professionalism (okay, except for Pokemon friend, but whatever).]


"Hello. Would you mind answering a few questions for me?"

Welcome to the land of Xeno-medicine. Did you know that sterility in cross-breeding is not as uncommon as most races originally thought? Why, Elerians ALONE can reproduce with almost any other species. They've got heavily dominant genetics, so...

... I'm rambling.

[Colin shakes his head, and his cybernetic eye turns black as he interfaces with Yukio's pad.]

Needless to say, Medicine is an exciting and complex field ones you've hit the warp age.

Exciting is a lot more polite than saying it's a complex web of interactions that can easily screw one-another up.

[Colin smiles.]

There's a reason that Xeno-Practitioners make the big bucks. Most doctors are heavily specialized.

[Hey, nerds represent up in this workshop.]

I can answer most questions you'll probably have, since I'm sure you'll wonder about the cybernetics and the nanites in me.

[And if you think that he's going to let you get away with not being informed, you are dumber than your sister, Yukio.]

Hey, we start getting paid, I'll be the first one to lobby for a raise for you.

And if you ever have to cut into me, I'll apologize now. My skin weave makes it very difficult to cut into me.

... Perseverance, mostly.

[The pause is unusual, as Colin had to stop and consider, which is something he doesn't do often in routine matters such as this.]

A laser scalpel is typical, but they're difficult to learn to use if you're not used to them, and... they're a little bit difficult to maintain in conditions such as this.

A monomolecular blade would also work, but they are very dangerous in inexperienced hands.

I'm not cut-proof, merely cut-resistant. My nanites, skin weave, and muscle lattice, and bone reinforcements are all designed to strengthen me, and make natural healing easier. But they don't make me invincible. Just... tougher.

Actually...

[Colin seems to consider that.]

I'll have to get back to you on that. My blood-nanites make me a universal receiver, but I'm not sure on the whole donor thing. I'll need to look into the literature. Last thing we want is to trigger an immune response due to foreign presences.

Nano-therapy is amazingly useful, but it's a careful process in order to avoid the body responding poorly.
