Video / Console

Look what I found.

[Fletch is postiviely glowing, grinning as he hefts a large device with a screen onto the table in front of the console. Fletch wraps an arm around it as if it was a long lost friend.]

This is a LifePak. A LifePak 15, to be precise. It's a medical monitor, and am I bloody glad to see it. Basically, it does everything; blood pressure, heart monitoring, temperature... You name it. It even acts as an automatic and manual defibrilator. I just found them in one of the curio shops. The kedan shopowner was very accomodating when I stopped him from frying himself on the charged Defib parts.

[He's still grinning. It's tech from home. Tech he can use.]

I'm donating these. One to the Healer's Guild, one to the Hotel, with the caveat that both can be used by anyone trained in them if they need to, and they can be moved between the Hotel and the Guild freely. As for training, I'm happy to give courses in how to use 'em, at a very generous rate that will go straight to the Healer's Guild, of course.

[A pause as he looks the device over.]

I need to have a word with someone who can fashion a charger for them, though. They're fully charged at the moment, but, yeah, they're battery operated. So anyone from the Metalworkers or the College fancy a challenge? Let me know. It'd be much appreciated.

Why, we almost didn't recognize you with such a smile on your face, senwinaw.

[holbydelboy]

I smile all the time, thank you very much.

Re: video;

[denyamenti]

Certainly more than some people here, I'll give you that.

[holbydelboy]

I'm just generally a happy person.

Re: video;

[denyamenti]

If you were back in your world, at your hospital right now, what would make you this happy?

[spoilsfun]

That sounds really useful! Do you think there are other tools like that in the shops around here?

video

[holbydelboy]

Maybe. I dunno. I've heard things just cross through the Dreaming and end up here.

Re: video

[spoilsfun]

Can anything cross through the dreaming?

video

[holbydelboy]

Dunno. There ain't really a brochure for the dimensional cargo service lyin' around.

[Hey almost-name-twin, have a warm smile in response. ]

I'd be very grateful if you could teach me how to use one, Monsieur. I'm already learning a lot at the Healer's Guild, but given how much these can do, I think it would be a good idea to know how to operate them if I need to.

[holbydelboy]

Sure. That's no problem. D'you just want the basics, or the full thing?

Video

[purrns]

The basics to start with, please. If I can handle that, I'll happily learn more.

Video

[holbydelboy]

Sure. I'll start off with the main thing, which'll be CPR and Defibrilation. When are you free? I'll pencil in some time.

[Simon sounds genuinely excited.]

What a find! I'm glad you managed to find more than one, too.

voice

[holbydelboy]

Tell me about it. When I saw them, I couldn't believe my eyes.

[He's definitely smiling, still.]

The asset tag is from Holby Ambulance Service, too, so they're from home.

voice

[pompous_today]

Are they, now? So we're not the only things that can travel here... I wouldn't mind finding some medical equipment from back home. Even the stuff I had on Serenity...

[holbydelboy]

I'm going to assume your space doctor kit makes these look like a pair of glorified batteries, huh?

[no_light]

[ Quietly judging you for the med droid cuddles. ]

You look happy.

[ Why are all his new colleagues so weird? ]

[holbydelboy]

I'm bloody ecstatic, mate.

With this, we don't need to rely on the healers for certain things so much. Means they can concentrate on other stuff.

[no_light]

That is... nice. It looks rather simplistic for a medical droid, but maybe someone can improve on it.

[holbydelboy]

...Droid?

[highprofilerichkid]

A challenge? That makes it sound like it's going to be hard.

[If you wanted modesty to come along with that engineering expertise, you probably should have specified that.]

[holbydelboy]

That depends on how quick you can do it.

[highprofilerichkid]

Just a charger? A day, maybe. Power adapters are in pretty high demand with new Foreigners.

[Nobody wants to be without their personal mobile devices! It's understandable - even though there's no phone networks to connect to here, having some vestige of home can be a comfort.]

If you want a battery upgrade, that could take a little longer.

[holbydelboy]

A charger'd be great to begin with. These things have a pretty hefty battery life on their own.
