133. Backdated to yesterday.

[thegooddrjones]

Alright, new people, once again welcome. I'm Martha Jones, the head of the infirmary and I'd like to ask that you set up appointments with me in the infirmary so we could establish a medical baseline for emergencies. The physical is completely hands off and only takes a minute. Thank you

Warn the Time Lords that they need to be inoculated against the flu, just to be certain.

I've forgotten to.

[thegooddrjones]

Thank you, Doctor. I will.

[Private]

[doctor_of_time]

Of course you can, Martha.

Any particular reason? Not that you need a reason, but-- [And because he isn't always completely oblivious, he actually sounds a bit concerned:] You're all right, aren't you?

[Private]

[thegooddrjones]

[And now comes the dilemma: should she lie and say when she's alright when everything has been because of Severus lying to her? No, no she really shouldn't.]

No, I'm really all right at the moment.

[And she doesn't even know about the master.]

[Private]

[doctor_of_time]

[...He's not sure if he believes that. Then again, he can be a notoriously bad judge of companions' moods.]

Doesn't mean we can't still talk, though. Just say the word-or quite a few words, if you like; there's no limit on the number-and we'll have a right old chat.

[Private]

[thegooddrjones]

Can I ask you what you told Severus, Doctor? About magic in our world?

[whattheytellyou]

I guess I should come in for an exam. I'm pretty healthy, but it can't hurt.

Tomorrow?

[thegooddrjones]

Tomorrow works for me. And it's just to establish a baseline should something happen.

[whattheytellyou]

Great.

What's with the movie club?

[thegooddrjones]

Oh, I just don't sleep very well and am normally up at two am [kinda, not so much lately, but that's beside the point.] so there's a group of us that tend to get together and watch a movie at that time.

Everyone's welcome.

Before I submit myself to any such thing, I demand to know what this physical exam entails and what this hypospray consists of.

[thegooddrjones]

The hypospray consists of the inoculation so you don't come down with the Gallifreyan flu that put several timelords in coma a bit back. And the exam just consists of me running a scanner over your body.

[Private]

You don't need to worry about it giving me a weakness on your or anything, Rassilon. I'm quite familiar with Gallifreyan physiology, and I know about the aspirin allergy. I've been a doctor here for 18 months, plus I've traveled with two Doctors--you've nothing to fear from me or anyone else in the infirmary.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

I do not fear you, Doctor Jones, don't delude yourself. But I am aware of both yours and the Doctor's hatred for me. [His voice gets just a little cooler.] If anything happens because of your hypospray, do not believe I will be merciful.

[Private audio.]

[thegooddrjones]

[Martha's voice is very calm and professional sounding.]

Rassilon, I saved the Master's life repeatedly; I'm not going to allow anyone to die because of my hatred for them, and I'm certainly not going to attack anyone using my position in the infirmary.

What time would you like to come in?

[Private]

[thegooddrjones]

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that, Brax, and the vaccine definitely wouldn't.

[Private]

[thegooddrjones]

I've time now if you're not busy.
