Video | Nerd Clip 1

[ César is a nerd and has set up the video so the camera is pointing to him from several feet away. He's got a blue science uniform on. ... and he's wearing his tan vest over it, although he has it unzipped a third of the way so the uniform is just visible. You can't see his riding boots, but he's wearing those, too. They are comfortable and don't have laces, fuck laces. He gives the camera a cheery wave ]

Good news, everyone!

I discovered we have an Emergency Medical Hologram while poking about the Infirmary. You won't have to rely on me for your medical needs. I'm a scientist, not that kind of doctor.

[ A pause, then a bit of an embarrassed wince. ]

Ah. Right. My name is César Salazar. It's a pleasure to speak to all of you. ... Is there anyone else in the sciences division?

[ Congratulations, you've found an adult. He pauses for a moment. It's hard to tell on these padds, but she looks... young? Maybe? About his brother's age? ... oof, best not to think about that. ]

I'll do my best to make sure you don't hate it because of me, then.

[She smiles brightly and tips her head to the side, lifting a shoulder in a laugh.]

Oh, well, there's nothing to really lead yet, we're kinda all working together for the most part. Kinda have to when there are so few of us.

[She hums a moment]

If we did have to rely on your skills, like if the Hologram breaks, would we survive?

Small, naturally self-organizing groups have always fascinating. I've been on them a handful of times. They've generally worked well, so long as the members are good.

[ César winces to hint at how he feels about that.. ]

I would prefer to stick to First Aid only. Depending on the injury, I might be able to wing it, but that'd require me to reverse engineer how to triage and perform the necessary surgeries on the fly. The chances of failure increase exponentially with how complicated the patient's needs end up being, forget plural. Standard illnesses, I might be able to deal with. Inoculations, I can handle... ah. I'd have to write up a whole set of scenarios, to be honest.

[flashedglass]

So...big words aside, the gist is that we would, but it wouldn't be fun for anyone?

[She plays chess and strategy games, science is not her thing at all.]

I'm glad you found the hologram because, no offense to any of the others, but uh...we need someone more experienced with the medical capabilities of this station and none of us are fluent in the language yet.

[If that makes sense...]

[pineapplesalmon]

It absolutely would not be fun, especially if someone ended up dead.

[ Science is César's thing, which is why he knows he's not qualified for that. ]

Agreed. I can use some of the equipment, but it's going to take time no matter what. And I'm never going to get on the same level as someone properly trained on this equipment.

[flashedglass]

[Oh, from the look on his face, he didn't really...think it was funny. She didn't either, but her light take on it clearly wasn't the right move this time.]

I can kinda get the computer to do what I want, it's like Siri but more advanced. A lot more advanced.

The emergency medical thing is cool though, how does it work?
