[u][center]~~~Rea'c, Kayle and Joseph: Sep and Fallen~~~[/center][/u]

Kay was nervous. Her stomach still turned and twisted though the beaming up was long since over, her body never stopped moving. Currently both Rea'c and her now stood in the medical wing, ordered there since their evacuation off planet. They barely had time to disarm when they were ordered here for examination which had been little over half an hour. The Lieutenant's foot lead the way as she paced in a circle, her arms crossed over her front while the her boots echoed throughout her ears. The office they were in had that eerily sterile look and it was just strange to be in such a room. Her eyes scanned the too clean walls once more then jerked when she heard the door click open. 

In came two doctors, an elderly man followed by a younger man. The first held a clip board in his hands, thick rimmed glasses were placed upon his nose and stared down at the words written upon the pages. In a moment he placed the clipboard to the side then turned his glaze upon the two patients. 

"Dr. Shane, you have Ms. Zaken. I'll take Rea'c, I believe." Joseph said in his business like manner.

Shane nodded as he moved over to the bed that the Lt was in. "Can you roll up your sleeves please, also did you come into direct contact with any foreign contaminants? Eat any food, drink any of the water? Any small cuts you think you should tell me about?"

Rea'c moved over and sat onto the bed and removed his vest and ensured that his arms were exposed. "Is this standard procedure for you Tauri? I assure you I am as healthy as I was when heading down to the planet. I do not feel that this is the best use of time when a strike team is being sent to take one of the ships. I would be far more valuable there where my expertise could be put to good use." This frustrated him, all these procedures the Tauri had. It got in the way of doing work, and he didn't like that one bit.

Kay had already stopped pacing, her hands rolled up her uniform sleeves as she moved towards the nearest bed. Her back turned about then hopped onto the bed with a slight creak while Dr. Shane approached her. In natural doctor fashion, he shot off questions easily for her to answer. She tried to play the cooperative patient part as Rea'c's comment draw a frown from Dr. Sterling, a man she met already before being cleared for duty, that he almost seemed to have swallowed a lemon. 

She turned to forces upon her own doctor, partly fought to keep the slight amusement out of her voice. "I used a tree for cover but I don't feel strange or different since. Other then the usual queasiness I feel after beaming that is and it's starting to fade. I ate and drank before I left so no. As far as I know, no scratches, cuts or even bruises. A close call with a Zat though." 

Joseph, on the other hand, didn't find Rea'c's replies funny. His white, wiry brow arched at the Jaffa's comments letting a few seconds pass by. Once Rea'c had seated himself with sleeves rolled up and ready, Joseph approached. 

"Despite your views, protocols are for safety of not just you but the whole ship. Tau'ri differ from your own and while you might willing to risk your fellow allies, I'm not." Joseph answered bluntly. "Currently we'll be taking some blood samples for analysis then check your reflexes and the basics. Once that's done, you'll wait until the results are before the Captain will reassign you."

Rea'c simply shrugged. "My immune system is far better than that off the average human. If I contract any kind of illness down on the planet it will be purged form my system before I return back to the ship. However I will allow you to take your samples. However have you not seen me walking around? My reflexes are fine. They are working the same as they always were."

Shane shrugged off the Zat comment as he finished taking a blood sample before wiping the small puncture wound, he handed the blood sample to a nurse that was walking past. "Well, that is that done." He took out a small flashlight and raised a finger on his other hand and then raised it and waved it back and forward. "Follow my finger please." After he waved it back and forward and she looked back and forth he merely nodded before raising the flashlight. "This might be a little bright." He flicked it on and moved it, flicking it off and checking her reactions. "Well, that seems pretty good. You still feeling pretty good?"

"Physical wellness in the moment isn't a sure sign of health, Mr. Rea'c. I'm one of best in my field because I take no chances, now you either allow me to do my job or end up in quarantine for a day. Either way, you'll be little use to the current mission which matters little to me." Joseph stated bluntly, unfazed by the Jaffa's protest. 

He had already dabbed the spot, tourniquet the arm, and then guided the needle into the man's skin. Once secured, he undid the tie as the tube filled up with blood before he wiped away the red and followed Dr. Shane's suit by handing it off to a nurse. Gently he took the stethoscope to press to Rea'c's chest, where his heart was, then told him to breath in and out slowly. Joseph's hand took out his glasses which he placed on then read his watch to time each inhale. After a moment, he took it off the chest and out of his ears letting it hang off his neck. Another object was in his hand next to measure blood pressure. He strapped the cloth about the Jaffa's upper arm and squeezed the little ball, air tightened about the muscle while he read the gauge. The readout was normal as he made a mental note to write down later, then stripped away the tool.

"If something doesn't feel right then don't hesitate to say so during these tests." He then mentioned while he passed to Dr. Shane.

Kay watched her doctor shrug off her mention of the Zat. Her eyes squinted when a sharp beam of light hit her vision, her jawline tightened in reaction. The flashlight flickered from side to the side as he raised his finger, reappearing the movement with his request. It wasn't hard, her eyes followed the movement easily back and forth at least twice. At his next question Kay nodded her answer before her hands folded into her lap. "You know, Rea'c, giving the doctor a hard time only makes this take longer. Besides... You're likely the first Jaffa he's encountered so far."

Shane finishing with the light took his own stethoscope and waited until she had finished speaking until he pressed it to her chest, counting as Rea'c began talking again. "That may be true, however I do not mean to make this to seem as if I am trying to make the Doctors time hard." He nodded a tthe man and closed his eyes as he did so, trying to put off across the fact that he indeed wasn't trying to make this harder than it had to be. "I am merely stating some facts as I see them and Doctor-" He turned looking even more serious, something that seemed oddly impossible. "This is the first time this has ever been done to me, it all feels odd." He gave a small smile, only for a couple of moments before returning to his blank look.

Shane just brushed off the entire conversation happening behind him, he wasn't much of a conversationalist. He did his job and that was about it. "All right then." Making sure he had finished writing down the details of her heart rate, blood pressure and labelled the blood sample he clapped his hands. "Well, just to check your reflexes now-" His pager went off and he looked at the other Doctor. "Sorry Doc, looks like she's all yours as well. Apparently one of the techs has burned himself." He nodded to them both as he left the room.

"And examining someone that's not a Tau'ri is new to me as well." Joseph said, his tone seemed less harsh and even borderline pleasant if that was possible. That was the only indication he had seemed to notice Rea'c's brief expression change. "It also worries me. With Tau'ri, I'll know quickly enough there's something wrong. With a Jaffa's or Tok'ra, it's harder and I rather not risk missing something critical. So merely tolerate my curious a bit longer and things will be for the better in the end."

He then reached for the percussor, triangular rubber ended hammer, and gently tapped the Jaffa's knee. Joseph ensured he was out of the way when the leg jerked. Though he suspected the bit about extreme strength was slight exaggerated, he didn't want to risk a broken bone or worse. 

Just when he was finishing up, Dr. Shane's pager went off and interrupted the man mid sentence. Joseph seemed to glare when the other doctor apologized and quickly retreated towards the door, his exit made.

"I'll be with you in a moment, Ms. Zaken. Mr. Rea'c, when I hold my finger would you please follow it?" Clearly displeased with the unprofessional display from the younger Doctor, Joseph started to finish up with Rea'c. He shined his flash light into each of the Jaffa's eyes then held out one finger. It was moved across in similar fashion to Kay's experience then he quickly jotted down results on his clipboard. "I think that will be all, now if you will kindly wait there while I finish up Ms. Zaken, you both are free to go as we wait on the blood results."

That smile upon Rea'c face had surprised Kay. Her research had depicted most Jaffa as military and morbidly serious types, a fact disproven by Rea'c's recent display. It was enough to have her shake her head, unsure what to make of it, while she focused upon her breathing for Dr. Shane. Her chest inhaled deeply then exhaled, each breath normal and relaxed accordingly. It seemed her doctor was more like those on earth, jaded by their experience and merely did the job. She knew the type well and any chit chat was pointless. Instead she focused on Dr. Sterling and Rea'c. 

"I guess you learn something every day. I wasn't sure Jaffa could smile until now." Kayle teased, her lips smiling as well as for much longer. 

Her turn came next when Joseph moved over to her, his hand snatched up the clip board left behind then tapped the rubber hammer on her knee. Instinctively her leg jerked and again, when he tapped it once more. Finally finished, Joseph dismissed them both when he concluded Kay's final examination bit. While he labeled Rea'c's sample, he talked to the pair. "You both seem to check out so now you're free to wait for the blood results in the medical wing. I believe you'll find your planet acquaintance there, out of surgery and still recovering."

Joseph, the nurse in tow, made his way out and headed to his office. After the door closed, Kay hopped off the bed then looked at Rea'c with a slight glint in her eye. "Now I'm curious. I thought Goa'uld had fast healing abilities, so why is he still recovering? Think you can behave yourself enough to accompany me for a little 'chat'?"
