[Hi ! it's your favorite cranky doctor in this brief public service announcement:]

Don't forget to get your damn flu-vaccinations.

[At least he's attached a file detailing out the location of clinics and their 'business' hours.

He doesn't look forward to volunteering, but it's better than spending all winter wiping your noses because you all neglected preparing for flu-season.]

[Hi port. McCoy's going to yell again. He has that sort of pissed off, scrunched up look that leaves the vein in his forehead visible.

Or he has already been yelling and this is just the cool down, it's hard to tell.]

You know what I'd like? I'd like one goddamn day where something doesn't try to devour, maul, dismember, or vomit some sort of virulent substance on me. I don't know how folks around here keep just shrugging their shoulders, and if I hear one more "Oh well isn't that strange?" Like they're looking at a goddamn two headed goat instead of a man eating toaster I'm going to lose my shit.

[He rubs his forehead and drops his chin in his palm.]

You all might as well come in for your tetanus shots while it's Maxim Overdrive month here in crazy town.

[Hi, McCoy's at home in his PJ's for once. Some lucky bastard got a day off! And, yes, that's a well earned bottle of bourbon sitting on his desk.

He's using his 'doctor' voice though, very professional, this guy.]

Just in case anyone's interested, we've isolated several toxins produced by many of the common breeds of darkness monsters and cooked up an anti-venom. It's still a work in progress, even with private funding, and not quite thoroughly tested, but still available at Skye and one of our local clinics.

I'm also opening my research to the network before certain parties get their hands on it, i'm sure it's a profitable market, but it won't do any of us a lick of good if it's stuck on the back burner in a lab somewhere. That being said, I could use an extra hand if anyone's got the time or scientific background.

[He starts reaching to switch off his NV before hesitating, frowning... which isn't much different than his usual scowl.]

I don't suppose anyone's heard from Helen Magnus lately? [He doesn't think he struck out badly enough that she won't return his calls, but who knows? He's not exactly smooth with the ladies.]

What are you all, high? What's with sudden munchy epidemic? You know we don't have a cure for Diabetes yet, so eat some damn vegetables. Good God. [This is the sound of him judging all of you.]

Also, James Kirk's NV has been kicking messages back for awhile, Spock's too, so I imagine those lucky bastards finally got to go home. I'm keeping up rent on their property, incase they end up back here...so til then, if anyone's looking for a residence until they can get on their feet, it's open.

Just keep it clean or I'm taking it out on your sorry ass, it's not a damn frat house.

[He's in a bad mood, go figure.]

doctor_mccoy

[McCoy is sitting in the break room again, it's late and the lights are dimmed, probably to conserve power, but the soda machine is glowing somewhere behind him and his NV is casting it's own faint blue light from the screen he has open. He looks tired, but that's far from unusual. It's been a busy few weeks. He pulls a pen from between his teeth before he speaks, the poor thing looks half mauled already.]

I'm starting to realized the lot of you still go out monster hunting despite any sort of common sense. So before I ask anything, i'm going to state right now that it's still not something I approve of, but you're all big kids and can make your own decisions.

That being said, I need a few favors.

Aside from the alarming amount of injuries and deaths that have been occurring due to 'natural' disasters, there's been a great deal of damage done to the proofing around here. Which means the critters have been getting in... which means we get to deal with more surprise injuries at night. And, disappointingly enough, we have little working knowledge on how to deal with certain poisons and venom these little bastards are chalked full of. If either SERO or AGI have coined the market on treatments, they're not sharing. Go figure.

To even begin to work on a proper treatment we need the actual poison to work with. I'm sure you see where I'm going with this...

[He frowns, scowls even, as a thought comes to him.] And before you go holding out your hand, the only reward that comes with this is gratitude and me not chewing your ass out if...when a reckless night ends you up on my table. Take it or leave it.

[McCoy's sitting in the break room at the hospital, or at least anyone's best guess since everything's a steril sort of white and he has a stack of paper coffee cups with gaudy coloring and a picture of an actual cup of coffee on it. He's in clean scrubs but there's still spots of drying blood on the collar of his undershirt.]

Alright folks, this is gettin' ridiculous.

I understand that most of you like to play 'hero', and it's just a fun ol' time going out after dark with your shot guns and pitch forks and stir up trouble. [He makes a sweeping gesture with the hand that's not propping up his chin] No matter that they have god damn sirens warning us when the world is about to turn to shit. Honestly it's like going out side to frolic about in a tornado rather than hitting the basement like any man with a two brain cells to rub together.

If ya can take care of yourselves,well bully for you, but we're losing count on the numbers of people that end up in the ER at night because they think they can be mister Barney Badass and try to take on monsters like it's going to earn them a damn merit badge. Monsters. Do ya really think you're going to kill them all and win a prize? This bullshit's been going on for years, we're in their house if ya haven't noticed.

This isn't even counting the lot of you who like to maul each other just for shits and grins. Or worse, lunatics screwing with the darkness proofing because it's just so damn funny. Those balls of yours gettin' heavy enough for ya? It's like Lord of the godamn Flies out here, we really shouldn't have to be worrying this much about each other. I mean for christ sake there are kids here, most with out their parents, do ya even wonder who they're gonna follow by example? If ya even--

[He's probably not finished ranting, but he's being paged, probably for some other idiot that's been dragged in minus a limb or two and he turns the feed off. His responses, if any, will probably come some time later.]

doctor_mccoy

[ Audio kicks in before the feed does, only for a few seconds and with it comes the dull buzz of distant voices and lazy not-quite-bustle of a restaurant, a diner perhaps, which becomes clearer with the slanted view of a waitresses elbow as she passes, and the florescent lights above. The NV is propped up (properly). The man is disheveled, exhausted, but god knows he's probably been awake since he arrived late last night, but then who could sleep after that? ]

"You're kiddin' me right now...."

[At least the coffee he has clutched between his hands is probably helping, or just fueling his already exasperated bewilderment of the entire situation. Thankfully no one knows him enough to recognize that the sardonic expression on his face is just the little sputtering fuse on it's way to the dynamite.]

"Sorry I ducked out of the welcoming parade, aloha's and floral leis aren't exactly my thing." [That's dripping sarcasm boys and girls, because by aloha's he means "monsters" and by parade he means what the hell just happened? ]

"I'm guessing my road to enlightenment is paved with questions, so if anyone can spare a minute to fill me in on what exactly is going on here that wasn't covered in the vacation brochure, I'd be obliged."

[Don't expect him to show much appreciation, but he'd really like to fill in the blanks. Oh and feel free to join him in the diner, but expect to pay, seems he left his wallet in the 23rd century.]
