ROLE — SURGEON 💉

[dropoffs]

SURGEON

welcome, crewmate ARTHUR STARLING.

On MONDAY afternoon, after the Eudora has arrived at its new destination, Arthur will hear the familiar ping of his I.R.I.S. Without even having to lift his hand to respond to it, a window immediately materializes from particles in a spread of dark gold, and a message sent only to his employee ID loads in the window.

There is no compulsion to obey the request, but the offer extended to you has a distinct tinge of stubborn hope... and it does sound interesting.

Arthur Starling,

Desperate times call for desperate measures. There's something that I need your help with, but I'll be honest, it's a ghost promotion without too many perks. That is, unless you consider the chance to perhaps change things for the better something of a perk.

Meet me in the medical bay as soon as you receive this message. We don't have time to waste. Clock's ticking.

IO

The medical bay is by no means difficult to find, however Arthur will see a sign that very politely says OUT TO LUNCH, BACK IN 1 HOUR. While the biometric lock on the door indicates that it is locked at first, upon Arthur nearing it, it will flash a soft green and allow him inside.

Io is there already, peering through a microscope and writing in a small, leather journal. They will lift their head towards Arthur, the display on their helmet blank. They gesture with a gloved hand towards a set of stools placed at their desk, where there are a pair of data tablets as well. At the center of the desk, there are some neatly made dumplings and a fresh pot of tea with a pair of mis-matched cups.

They smooth a palm over their long jacket and reach into their pocket to withdraw a leatherbound notebook. "Come, have a seat and I'll try and explain this as best I can."

RULES

As the crewmate responsible for the surgeon role, Arthur is expected to follow a few rules:

1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. This can be revisited at a later date. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences, and termination of the designation are possible.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the true source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. Once a week, the Surgeon will be called upon to do the following:

🩺 Select one of your fellow junior crewmates' files. If the chosen crewmate is targeted for murder on Thursday evening, they may be protected from their demise.
🫀Select one of your fellow junior crewmates' files. If the chosen crewmate is voted for execution on Sunday afternoon, they may be saved from their demise.

4. Selection must be made during Arthur's meeting with Io when summoned (OOCly selections are due by TUESDAY 3 PM PST/6 PM EST). Once one or both parties leave the meeting, the job is considered over for the week and no selections or further work can be done. This does not mean that the role can't be discussed in audiences, however.

WEEK 1

[dropoffs]

TALK TO IO.

[dropoffs]

[ io is looking at a deep bronze projection of the current crew at the moment, the slow heart monitor blip gently moving along their helm at the moment. there's a deep yawn that leaves them as they take some notes in a leatherbound notebook. ]

[expiries]

[here he is!! warily, but still here. after a moment of glancing around at the space:]

...What am I here for, precisely?

DECISION.

WEEK 2

[dropoffs]

TALK TO IO.

[dropoffs]

[ today, io (?) is seated on a stool, with a small tool kit on their desk, using a screwdriver to gently tend to their prosthetic leg. perhaps the only indicator that it's them is the heavy helm cast to the side. there's a soft whispering sound, like dry, shifting grasses coming from their direction...? when arthur arrives, they lift their head heavily and give a brief nod toward him. ] Shall we get started?

[expiries]

...Hello.

[a little surprised by the lack of helmet, but he doesn't comment on it. a few little question marks pop up on his hands for a moment over the scars.]

Yes. Have you learned anything new in the last week...?

DECISION.

WEEK 3

[dropoffs]

TALK TO IO.

[dropoffs]

[ hi, io is here by the medbay pods, with what looks to be a large, inactive one beside the rest. it's currently just lying on its side without any glow to it but it is... here. and it's happening. it doesn't look exactly like the others, but it doesn't look decrepit or anything! either way, they just lift their head. ] Morning, Arthur. How goes it?

[expiries]

[looking at this pod...]

Is there something wrong with it?

[anyways]

Mm, morning. Anything new...?

DECISION.

WEEK 4

[dropoffs]

TALK TO IO.

[dropoffs]

[ it's been a week (that was last week) IT'S BEEN A WEEK! in any case, io is here as always to speak with (though mod will be slow due to recovery!). they are currently just working away at a less-than-scientific mortar and pestle while in the background, there are some scans being run on the medical pods. ] Round again we go... how's the hand?

[expiries]

[glancing down at it, splaying his fingers for a moment before returning them to normal]

Adequate. What are you working on?

DECISION.

WEEK 5

[dropoffs]

[dropoffs]

[ it's the worst week ever wahoo, io is just kind of moving around stiffly, and in general is being a little extra slow today but it's fine, we're cruising. there are some greasy rusty spots just broadly splotched all over their usual jacket in the chest area. ] Morning. I've got some good news for you. [ a very weary smile. ]

[expiries]

[he is similarly greasy, but he tilts his head.]

Yes?

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ hold off on making your decision until you've learned... some good news :) ]

thursday - bradley
sunday - yuri
