0004: NEW ARRIVAL BRIEFING

Who: New Arrivals, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon, Februaro 30th
Warnings: None

When awakening, you'll find the area you're in to be very busy. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. The same goes for the robots in the hangars. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room.

The Briefing room is large. Not enough to accommodate a Cybertronian, but spacious enough for several dozen people. The chairs are high-backed and well-cushioned, more like comforting eggs floating a foot or so off the ground than anything else. A half completed, but still functional, holographic display is settled into the floor, showing a slowly rotating pyramid.

A few Security personnel, dressed in their red and black uniforms, stand at ease in the rooms in strategic areas. They seem fairly relaxed. One man stands at the head. Graham Baker, a middle-aged man, showing the first signs of balding and wearing a rumpled business suit perhaps a size too large, nervously clasps his hands together and smiles.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with. The mods will not be doing hangar/medical awakenings unless it's specifically asked for.]

"What, no scars? Christ. Well that's handy." The farther in they go, the more hustling staff they pass. It's a sure sign they're getting closer to their end goal, even if-- she suspects-- neither of them have yet forgotten how to backpedal their way to the beginning of this mess.

The lie, though, that comes easy. Tends to for anyone in her line of work.

"Stupid mistake. Too focused on taking in the sights, tripped and split my bloody chin open. No cure for carelessness, yeah?"

The hustle and bustle of the medical ward, the sterile smell, the hum of the machines, it all puts McCoy at ease. He's in his element now, in a hospital facility, even if it's not exactly like what he's used to back with Starfleet.

His fascination with the facility will have to wait, however. This woman needs to get herself checked in with either a doctor or a nurse, and McCoy is going to stick with her until she does.

The explanation that she offers him causes him to look back at her with a raised brow.

"Took a real nasty fall, if it's bleeding that bad." Oh, he's skeptical alright, but it's probably not his place to push. He doesn't even know the woman's name, first of all, so who is he to go asking for information he has no right to know about.

If he were her doctor, however, then that'd be a different story.

"My name's Leonard McCoy, by the way. Dr. McCoy."

"Ah." Feels a bit like fibbing to a teacher, tossing out a story like that to someone that's likely a touch too sharp for it. That said, Chloe doesn't falter: fixes her attention elsewhere (the shuffling flow of a facility designed to handle emergencies is a lively enough excuse, the stockpiled medical equipment even more so) before she angles a pleasant smile his way, offers up her free hand. "Chloe. Chloe Frazer."

It stays there as she waits for some sort of reciprocation. Over the curve of his shoulder there's a clearly labeled storage room meant for immediate cases; something of a beacon for someone fond of managing their own disasters.

"No fancy titles included."

McCoy takes her hand in his, offering her a firm but gentle handshake before pulling away. He doesn't smile, or offer any other sort of friendly gesture, that's just simply not in his nature. Outwardly, anyway. But the fact that he's willing to escort her here and make sure she's alright spoke volumes for his character. He simply cares to much about others to do anything less.

"Well, it's always good to know a doctor, figured I'd get that out of the way so you didn't have to guess." He responds, then leads the way toward the little emergency room.

"Mm, and a thoughtful one at that. Seems like my luck's taking a sudden turn for the better."

Telling, and respectable-- even for someone that exists outside the usual code of morals society tends to favor-- which is, she thinks, an absolute shame factoring in the circumstances. In the security pad on the door and how unwilling she is to be fussed over by any amount of lurking, attentive staff rather than performing the medical equivalent of 'rubbing some dirt in it'.

The fact that he's taken the lead with his back to her.

Because much as she'd like to get them off on the right foot, discreetly jamming hers in around the edge of his ankles to trip him up is-- well, you know how it goes when you need a proper distraction.

One second McCoy is standing upright, striding down the length of the hallway as he follows the signs to the ER. Next thing he knows, he's staring down at the tiled floor, hovering over it for no longer than a second while gravity does his thing. While his face becomes well acquainted with the ground, he groans and tries pushing himself up on his feet. The hospital staff are gathering around him now, and McCoy has to wave them off with a furrowed brow and a sharp comment.

As expected, Chloe is gone by the time up from his spill. Goddammit. If he ever sees her again. Well. He'll have a few choice words, let's put it that way.

He turns away with a huff.
