As the beds start to fill up, not that the hut had THAT many of them, Jacob, the head medic for New Dawn, a Clydesdale that tended to go around in the nude except for his smock, made a request for additional personal to help handle the mounting cases. So far, no one had presented with more than some light vomiting, fever, sneezing and coughing, but this was growing concerning for him. "This is too strange, far too strange." He mumbles to a nurse administering an an IV of all things to a pink Female Husky, who doesn't seem to be capable of doing more than groaning, whimpering, and gently rocking from side to side on occasion. Looking at the screen of the Medical Nanomagic Server in the hut, the lead medic shakes his head a moment before looking over the room which was meant to house 8 patients, but had cots set up and now had 11...
Martakan nods and waits
Euoia slowly makes hir way inside. "Anyone call for a repair tech?" Sie gets out of the way and is waiting for someone to step forward and explain what they know and how sie could help. "Is there a place you need me to go?" Sie looks around, wondering where sie could help out.
What is this bullshit being tossed around this time? Sickness? Seriously? Magnus was no doctor, but for the life of him he had never seen anyone with any kind of illness before. The nanomachines were like a ravenous beast when it came to healthcare, they destroyed any foreign bug in an instant, and now there was something more potent than that running around? He didn't like this, he didn't like this one bit. The feline dragon makes his way to New Dawn with heavy footfalls, clad in a dense jacket kept unbuttoned, his crimson shirt visible beneath, and a pair of slacks protecting both his modesty as well as his legs.
Once inside, his eyes scan over his surroundings, making sure to give the sick a wide berth, what's more he immediately checks to see if masks are needed. Thankfully the doctors appear to have decided none such are required. Spotting a familiar and quite dazzling girl nearby, Magnus breathes a soft sigh of relief, specifically that there were others taking this quite seriously. He reaches to tap the Clydesdale on the shoulder, then hooks a thumb towards the entrance. "So anyone can just walk in here? Ain't you worried this thing is gonna spread?" Magnus shakes his head. "Any idea what we're dealing with here?"
It had been a bit of a strange request that had come through Poppy's comlink. The Medical team at New Dawn encountering something strange and unexpected, requesting additional people to assist! The collie herself might not have had much medical training, but she did know one thing. The New Dawn Medical team had given her a few innoculations, so best to try to help if she could!
It was that rather simple and clean mindset that led her to wandering into the Medical hut. Her usual yellow jumpsuit wrapped around her, the collie herself seemign to be in a pretty solid mood. A slight smile played across her maw as she looked about, gazing back over the gathered... well... Ill. A smattering of beds, a various menagerie of mutants, quietly groaning and shaking... A nurse tending to those aroundAnd a fellow who seemed to be in some control of their wits! Probably the head person here! Before she could open her mouth though, a pair of others would enter, the collie swiftly moving to the side of them. Still, she shook her head before coughing, asking over. "Heya Mister," she'd murmer back to the Clydesdale. "I heard that you were in need of, well, people! What can I help you with? What do we have? And... What's going on? Sorry, just don't know!"
Fenris arrives, carrying a crate full of medical supplies. Mostly just generic fever reducers and saline solution along with sanitary wipes and some antibacterial masks. The burly tanuki does not generally spend much time in New Dawn, but he is technically a member of the community, and likes to help out where he can. "Got your meds, doc," he says, waving to Jacob. Turns out we have a pretty good supply." The big guy wanders over to where the doctor is working, casting a curious eye on the medical nano-server.
Fenris is wearing his simple, saffron robes today, heavy wooden prayer beads around his neck and wrists. "Hey Magnus," he says cheerfully, before looking to the doctor for further instructions.
Martakan flies in tired after a long flight, he moves his body through the entrance, smelling the various mutations and the state of the infection. While he's not versed in the art of medicine, his body and warm soothing flame help mend many wounds as well as psychological wounds. Many were cured after riding on him. He proceeds to enter deeper into the room as he notices a group of otehr people seemingly more aware of the local situation than others and asks them "Hey guys" he adresses the Vixen nurse "do you have an idea why did this happen, the spread appears to have changed mutiating nanites and caused some of my friends to turn wild and I had to fly here to get help. Is there anything I can be of help here?
For the moment Jacob doesn't take his eyes of the screen, looking over it trying to see if anything has changed since the last time he looked over it. He shakes his head, and, without looking specifically at anyone continues, "Thank you all for coming, and honestly? I have no clue what is going on here. At least not yet. We have had nano malfunction cause minor issues in people before. Cold and flu like symptoms, bouts were people's stomaches wouldn't be functioning in a way compatable with their nanites and that would have to be adjusted, even very few, very rare people who's natural immune system would conflict with the nanites and they have to be given treatments to bring their biology and, what is to them, their new technology. Nothing like this though, nothing this wide spread or dangerous." He stops a moment and looks specifically at Euoia, "If you wouldn't mind, look over the server. I know how to use it, and how to read the diagnostics it gives me, but like hell if I know how to fix it if it's broken in some way." He says before looking next to Magnus, then around to Poppy, Fenris, Martakan. "I'm hoping that the machine is just acting buggy, but the best I can tell is that they are suffering from gastrointeritus and some form rhinovirus causing upper respritory broncidus." After he's done he adjusts his smock, but the Vixen Nurse nurse, smiles after getting the needle in the husky's arm, "What the doctor means is stomach flu, as well as the common cold." Shi says before checking on a Bird of Paradise who seems to be in better shape, sitting up, but sneezing up a storm! "That's what I said Jessica, anyway, our largest concern is dehydration. The nanites tend to take care of that on their own, but, something about this is causing that to malfunction as well. As you can see, for some patients, we have had to revert to some old timey methods." Jacob jestures to the husky with an IV. "I haven't seen anything like this in, Kitsune help me, it feels like decades." He gives a nod to Fenris though, "Thank you for the stock, please set it in the back with the rest of the boxes."
