AMZN-T108m302<br/>Tagging Ruya Aras (<a class="username" data-user-id="18515" data-username="@BennyQ" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18515/">@BennyQ</a>)<br/>Location: Crew Quarters.<br/><br/>“Androids need sustenance like that?  Surprising. I guess you’ll be a lucky one if you can disable your taste buds when dinner does come around.”<br/><br/>"It's not a requirement," AMZN-T108m302 replied with an amused half-smile.  "My microfusion reactor is actually most efficient when fueled with duterium, but I can utilize the hydrocarbons in most foods if necessary."  A shrug.  "It helps to maintain the illusion of my humanity, Ms. Aras."<br/><br/>Ruya rolled her eyes amusingly. “And it’s<i>Corporal</i>, please. Not because I’m pulling rank, but I’m far from<i>Mrs.</i>if you catching my meaning. Just keep it simple.”<br/><br/>AMZN-T108m302 bowed slightly as Ruya pulled herself up onto the top bunk.  "Of course, Corporal Aras.  Until dinner, then."<br/><br/>“Buh-bye,” the Corporal answered, waggling her fingers.  The android mimiced the gesture and turned, zeroing in on the next closest member of the crew.  She still had an assignment to complete, after all.<br/><br/>-*-<br/><br/><b>Ares8 Medical Bay</b><br/>K-Doc<br/><br/>"Look, seriously.  You should have taken care of this<i>before</i>reporting for duty."  He eyed the shamefaced young man before him severely, then handed over a small silvery tube.  "The station has much better medical resources, including antibiotics that would knock that infection right out.  But..."<br/><br/>"I know, K-Doc," the private mumbled.  "I just..."<br/><br/>"Didn't want to look like a fool for getting the clap from a cheap whore?" Kahaan interrupted with a sigh.  "It's the single most common medical complaint they get, there.  And they could have cleared it right up.  Instead, since you've got broad spectrum antibiotic resistant gonorrhea and you're on a warship with limited resources in this regard, you get a phage cream."  He handed over a second tube.  "Rub it on your genitals twice a day, and the burning and itching is a normal sensation."  He watched the private sweat.  "If you see any pus forming, though, come back and see me immediately."<br/><br/>The man swallowed and nodded, then clutched the tubes and left.  Kahaan shook his head, then winked a specific pattern.  An instant later, an AR image of his virtual assistant appeared.  "Message Mrs. Herd and let her know I'll be available until 17:30.  Then message Corporal Aras, and let her know to arrive for her check-in in 20 minutes."
