FORM: Crystal & extra.
SENDER: Simon, Bronach, Alex
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Fulfilling their assignment for a medical survey
WHEN: pre-strike
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: If you feel so inclined, please fill in the survey over here; Please note that this survey is totally optional both ICly and OOCly, and is an expanded version of a survey requested by Commander Coupe. All comments are screened, and responses will be used for an ic report issued to the Forces division. ICly the information will be kept centralised and confidential, with the intention of it being accessed only by treating medical personnel. (If you are able to do this by April 25th for the sake of us submitting the report by the end of the month that would be really appreciated.)

G’day, it’s Alex… again. Sorry mates, I promise you’ll be liberated from my dulcet tones as soon as I can manage to feel tired of my own voice.

( So, never being her very cocky and extremely self-deprecating implication. At the same time, yes. )

We got an assignment needs completing, but to get that done we need to get a survey done, so that requires plaguin’ you lot for some information about health and doctorin’.

[And kind of ignoring all those words she doesn't understand at all--] If you're concerned about who can read it, it won't be something nailed to a board where anyone can get hold of it. But so the healers know not to give you a thing you hate or can't have when you were stupid enough to land in their laps.

[Look she has so much faith in you people.]

Your bedside manner is inspirin’.

( Barely audible, muttered, and… not as hypocritical as it seems. Maybe. )

But she’s right, medical shit is confidential, this is just to help make sure the Inquisition treats you right and in accordance with your wishes and all that. We’ll be using it to make a report for Commander Coupe, but beyond that it’ll be for medical personnel only.

All right, that’s--let’s not--get in our own way here, shall we. [That’s certainly helping.] If you’d feel better speaking to an Andrastian about all this, or just...a native, and you don’t mind it being a templar, that’s what I’m here for. [Simon doesn’t really get why all the preoccupation with fancy things like “privacy” and “confidentiality,” but if it gets them answers.]

And if you want we got paper copies you can fill in, or if you’d rather chat it out and none of us are people you’d be comfortable talkin’ with, we’ll grab someone else for you and figure it out. So uh— any questions, let us know.

As Alexandra said: there are things some people don't want to have. I'm forbidden to eat certain things, that's why I would want a healer to know that or it-- it wouldn't be right by me. By how I was raised to be given those things no matter the circumstance. Others it might make them more sick than when they started.

And then the healer has a sicker patient. Or a dead person.

[Look at how good she is at this.]

But I understand that dossiers of private information are of concern to folk, they're of concern to me, it was why I raised who would have them.

Alright. It helps to hear this from multiple people. It's a good idea, overall, but I think people are right to worry about this sort of information falling into the wrong hands.

If this sort of survey is meant to be helping people, I'll support it and fill it out myself.

I appreciate you addressing my concerns, as it were.

[earthbones]

I know. I've seen it happen elsewhere. Rifts and the Veil already went asking questions about us with the anchors so they might do that too for new arrivals.

[Feels fair to warn a man.]

Don't know if they'll do follow-ups but if they do, you know that's coming.

[somethingwild]

Well. I suppose, given that Rifts and the Veil is the project I'm working on, I should look into that matter further.

I appreciate the warning, on both counts. Thank you.

Seems t'me, [ less sharp than alarmed ] Last thing y'all want is folks putting those two together.

Too many people here with too much time sitting about. [Not that she's lumping them together but what do any mages actually do anywhere?] Better to be ready for when history repeats itself, not if.
