Alright, guests. If you've ever come by the infirmary, you know who I am, but for the lucky people who haven't, I'm Sycora Novitas. If you need a doctor, that's where I'll be ninety percent of the time.

So, business.

[There's the sound of papers shuffling, there.]

I'm sure you all remember the plague we had last month. I can assuredly tell you that it will not happen again. Kloe Bishop has been treated and her contagion is suppressed.

But she is not to be harmed in any way. If you attack her, you will be punished, so leave her be.

That's all.

[The following, however, is sealed to Isabella:]

I've worked up a treatment plan. If you don't care about anyone hearing, go ahead and talk to me here -- otherwise, come see me. I'm in the infirmary.

Having problems with the locals, doc?

[A small laugh.]

A few. People get rowdy when they think they're in danger.

Can't really blame them, given what happened.

... You're absolutely sure it's contained?

Absolutely sure. Kloe has been medicated and, so long as she continues to use said medication, will continue to be safe for the masses.

How about you? You been holding up alright?

[Not out of crackers yet?]

[Wellp. Considering she has medication to combat the effects of DNA, he's sort of inclined to believe that.]

If you say so.

Yeah, more or less. Talking pumpkins notwithstanding.

Yeah, those are sort of a bitch. You tried covering one with a blanket yet?

You've seen these things before?

I've been shooting a few of them. Maybe my rounds won't break skin anymore, but vegetables? They're not so tough.

Pumpkin lanterns, yeah. Talking ones, that's a little new. I find ignoring them usually works, but shooting sounds a little more entertaining.

I guess we do our ignoring a little different in my sector of the galaxy...

So this hasn't ever happened before?

No, it hasn't. But as I'm sure you know, it's par for the course. Besides, it could be worse. They're just words.

[At least the pumpkins aren't, like, running around and biting people or something. Pumpkin zombies would be terrible.]

So I'm starting to notice.

... Something must have happened to make them get so chatty out of nowhere.

Deior wanted to have some fun with the decor this year, I'm betting.

Don't I feel honored.

Oh, we all should.

[Mmm, gotta love that sarcasm.]

I do have to say, I'm not a fan of it.

[That is some serious sarcasm.]

Too many people wind up in your medbay?

Well, no one's come in with pumpkin-related injuries yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. They'd make a hell of a weapon, if they hit someone.
