Medbay
The bubblegum pink tail swished back and forth, attached to a form that seemed stuffed into a cabinet below some counters on the far wall of the medbay. Whoever was in said cabinet hummed a soft tune to herself, hints of hair that matched the color of her tail showing. On the bed in the middle of the medbay itself rested what looked like a small red dragon, curled up in a ball, and by the desk a wall of volumetric screens ticked information past about various members of the ship. All in all it seemed like a fairly relaxed yet ready medbay on the ship, waiting for whatever need should arise.
The door hissed open, revealing a green-haired Minkan in a teal uniform -- another medic.
"Hello? Santō Hei Arai Yuu reporting for duty!", they chirped cheerfully. "I'm the new recruit. I was told this is where the medbay was?"
They looked around. Of course it's a medbay. They were definitely in the right place. It just took them a moment to spot the swinging tail, "Uhhh, hello?". Yuu stepped over and knocked gently on the cabinet, peeking down curiously.
At the sudden voice behind her, the pink tail stuck up straight and there was a heavy thud, followed by a sudden crash as the figure fell down into the cabinet. She groaned a little, half way into the opening as a few snacks spilled out. The tiny dragon's head snapped up as he growled and chirped at the new comer, and as they walked closer it would stand and spread his wings. A deep red color with what looked like a large organish red gemstone placed in the center of it's chest, it walked closer and opened it's mouth before a voice called out.
":Thorndack! No! Down! They are a friend!" The girl pulled herself out of the cabinet, a bit of chocolate on her uniform as she rubbed her head delicately. Pale cream skin, river blue eyes with flecks of brown in them, she winced and looked over to the new comer. "Sorry about him, he's just defensive. You must be one of the new crew members, I'm Fujiwara Saya, medic for the Kaiyo II. You are?" Despite the rather embarassing first impression, Saya blushed a bit and held a hand out for the new comer.
"Err. Arai Yuu, I'm the new medic. Nice to meet you, Fujiwara..." they pause, obviously looking at Saya's arms for the telltale insignias, "-hei?" After a moment, they smiled at the dragon, wiggling their fingers at it in greeting. "And what's this cutie's name?
"Fujiwara-Hei is correct, by please just call me Saya? We're going to be working together, so I would prefer it informal if you don't mind Yuu?" She smiled a little, the patches indeed denoting her rank of Itto Hei for the moment, She looked to the small dragon and giggled just as he opened his mouth and spat out a small gout of flame. "Thorndack! I will take your fire from you if you do that again!" The medic quickly reprimanded her pet and give him a little flick, to which he dropped his head a little. "And I won't let you play with Valkyr either!" That got more of a reaction as he took flight with a few flaps of the wings up to the top of a cabinet.
"Sorry about him... He's a bit standoffish with new people, but he is Thorndack, my little dragon. Not a real one mind you, but he likes to think he's a big bad dragon like in my games."
"Nice to meet you, then, Saya! Please take good care of me.", they give a short, casual bow. "And Yuu is totally fine!", the Minkan chirped. "Is there anything you'd like me to do to get onboarded? Anything I can help with? And what's this about games?", they smiled wide, a small dimple forming on their cheek.
Yuu winked at the little dragon before stretching their arms up over their head and looking around the medbay. "This is my first deployment. It took like 5 months to get here, too! Can you believe it?"
"Hm... I suppose you'll need a physical, besides that I guess just get yourself settled in. There are still a few spots you can put your things. The standing closet over there is where I store spare uniforms" She pointed to a large standing cabinet. "And well, just familiarize yourself with the room. You can find some drawers and cabinets to go ahead and store your things, and if you need to hide." She pointed to the cabinet that she had been ducked into earlier. "I have books, snacks and drinks in there."
When asked about the games though, the knife ears covered in pink fur twitched and her eyes lit up. "O-Oh! The game? I play Aether & Nekos! I have a small game that I run for some of the crew members during our down time at night, it's a ton of fun! I've never run a campaign before but it's been so much fun, even though some of the people have transfered from the ship since we started."
"Oh, like one of those games where you tell a story with your friends? That sounds fun! Count me in! I've never really played anything like that, but I can try!", Yuu beamed wide. They looked around the medbay. "This place is... huge. It looks even bigger in person than when I was reading about it." they looked over at the hemosynthetic reconstruction tubes, at the beds. "And I guess there's no one to take care of right now? That's good."
They let out a happy sigh, "I'm actually really excited. I didn't expect to have much of a good time up here. I was just going to, you know, keep my head down, do my job, and do what I can for my family back in Kyoto. But I'll be here a while, and making friends sounds nice. The crew here seems nice." Yuu finally walks to a nearby bed and sits down, crossing their ankles and swinging their feet to and fro.
Saya giggled a little and nodded to the idea of keeping her head low and smiled. "We are a family here, and as big as everything looks, I promise you the ship is smaller than you think. Everyone is wonderful, though fair warning. Do not give Kiki and Gravity coffee... It does things to them that need a sealed room and tranquilizers for." She laughed a little as she walked closer to Yuu, tapping a few buttons on on a volumetric screen before her.
"You don't mind if I get your physical taken care of do you?" She already had the bed ready to start the scan, but waited for her permission as she continued. "I had that same mindset, keeping my head down, doing my job, staying out of trouble. I spent a number of years after my first few deployments in the Kyoto Military Hospital as a doctor there. I helped returning soldiers who were to hurt to fight and treat in the field. I spent almost ten years there, helping who I could, but after the Battle of Yamatai, I knew I had to get back out on the front lines."
Saya had a number of years under her belt, despite her low rank. She was a veteran of the second Mishhu war after all.
The enby started undoing their Type 35 Star Army jacket, their expression changing to something more serious, "Yeah... a couple of my former classmates and a few regulars at our restaurant were... you know..." Yuu trailed off, looking off to the side. "That's one of the reasons I used to justify enlisting to myself, honestly."
As they peeled the jacket off their arms, they revealed a fairly tight, black top, a nonstandard compression shirt. They peeked at Saya, seeming actually self-conscious for the first time since they'd stepped in the medbay. "Anyway, uhhh... do your thing." Yuu looked away, hands folded on their lap.
She seemed unfazed by the worry and nodded with a small smile. "Wonderful! I'm sorry to hear about your friends, but unfortunately..." She gave a small shrug, trying to not seem so detached as she began the scans. "If you ever need to talk about anything, please don't hesitate to seek me out. I double as a psychiatrist for the ship as well, so I'm here to listen. I've actually been helping a few older Nekovalkyrja work through some things from the old wars, so I'm used to it."
"Heh, you know. It is what it is. I'm just happy my family was alright, after all that. It was pretty scary." Yuu straightened up, letting their new... friend? mentor? do her thing.
They made conversation to keep their mind off their self-consciousness. "I actually thought of looking into the psychiatry course during training, but I just wanted to get to work as soon as possible, and a year was already a long time to be spending learning to keep people alive, you know?" Yuu's lips curled into a small smile, their shoulders still a little tense.
"I understand, trust me I was just as eager coming out of Fort Ready. But it's for the best, to make sure that when you do get on the job, you can do it right and keep you friends and family alive. And if you'd like, I can train you while you're here?" She offered with a smile as quickly enough, the bed returned the results. "You can get dressed again, everything in your scans looks great. Oh! No I need to get something...."
She turned back to one of the drawers, pulling out two needles, some gauze a bandage and some wipes. "I just need a small sample if that's ok?" She placed everything out before Yuu to show them just what she intended.
Yuu nodded, looking down at their arm. "I'd love to learn. You've been at this for a long time, huh? Especially for a Neko." Their shoulders visibly relaxed now, "How long have you been on the Kaiyō?"
"The Kaiyo? Almost two years now. It was tough at first, I wasn't really used to combat operations, I was used to staying back on the ship as the others went out. But here, I joined them, so there was a bit of a learning curve for me." She laughed a little bit but shrugged as she quickly went about collecting the sample. "But, even though it was tough to get used to, I wouldn't trade it. I met Wyatt here after all..." She seemed to get a bit distant in her gaze, her smile looking off into the ship now before she returned back to the task at hand.
"Now that should be everything. Feel free to get dressed again!"
The enby wasted no time pulling their jacket back on, "So you've got a sweetheart on the ship? Tell me more! What are they like? Can I meet them?!". The change in demeanor was immediate, their smile back to its glowing, dimpled state.
"Also, like, I'm kinda scared of the combat thing. I wasn't expecting to get deployed this close to the line. I'm worried I won't get to keep my head on my shoulders and I'll just forget my training altogether when there's real shooting going on and a bunch of people in power armor running around me, you know?" they shrugged.
"I'm not much of a fan of combat either. I've not a lot of experience and personally..." She paused for a moment and looked a little embarassed. "Well I've never actually shot a weapon outside of training." It was strange for a Neko, who was bred for war, at least in her mind it was. But she pushed the thoughts aside and instead focused on Wyatt.
"Wyatt? Of course you can meet him! He's a officer on the ship. He's a Mikan like you, you'll see him around. Copper hair, big mustache, very hadsome." She giggled a little as she thought on him and sighed somewhat. "He is very nice, he may seem a little cold at first, but I promise you he is anything but!"
Yuu's eyes widened, "Mustache guy!! I saw him!", they smirked, "he's cuuuuute. Nice catch, Fuji-- err, Saya." They laughed colorfully.
Sliding their feet back to the floor, they turned to Saya, "So. I haven't eaten since I got off the transport. You wanna go grab a bite or something? I like having friends for company when I eat." Yuu winked at the pink-haired neko. Their first day on the ship was off to a good start.
Saya giggled and smiled, a blush creeping across her cheeks as she nodded. "Sure, some food sounds great Yuu, lets go." With a small whistle and the flap of wings, the Drake landed on her shoulder and wrapped around her neck like a scarf as she led the new crew member down to the wardroom for some food.
Medbay
