SENT: DAY 3 | 12:41
If anyone finds themselves missing a finger after their first round of hatching, let me know and I'm sure one of the medics here can sew it back on for you.
[ He may be joking... he may not be. Seriously, them suckers are strong even as hatchlings. ]

SENT: DAY 3 | 12:43
Also, anyone with unusual symptoms out of the ordinary after being bitten by one of these little bastards, please report them here. This obviously shouldn't include bleeding and/or mild or moderate pain.

Unless it's increasing.

Are we expecting a lot of missing digits?
no subject
Depends on how friendly you want to get with it. I'd encourage you not to try and scratch it behind the ears just yet.
They seem extremely aggressive upon hatching. At least mine sure as hell was.

[ Careful, that might be sarcasm literally dripping out of your comm device. ]
no subject
Noted, but I'll try to see if I can keep my fingers on my hands for now. It's proving surprisingly difficult.
no subject
What with our limited supplies around here, I'd consider it a personal favor if you could keep them on your fool hand as long as possible. Thanks.
FROM: queue@cdc.org
no subject
No, not yet at least. But I'm sure it's only a matter of time until someone ends up bobbed and screaming.
no subject
However if that is the case, I certainly hope more recruits were wise enough to take Count D on his offer.
no subject
Faith is generally not something I prescribe to. Realism works better.
Same. Is anyone keeping count? Most of us got, what, three? We only get to keep one (what a shame), so what are the rest for?
no subject
I'm sure Miss Gliese has, but I myself haven't bothered to. I've been granted three; I'm still waiting for them to hatch. But Miss Gliese did mention something about training.
no subject
Well, sure! I'm optimistic none of you will get your more important appendages swiftly and viciously devoured by an unknown alien lifeform, but personal experience tells me to be realistic.
FROM: mccoy.leonard@cdc.org
How's that for an example? I'm a doctor. My view tends to be a little skewed.
[ But never dark. There's faith in humanity deep down in there. It's just hard to see it at times. ]
And yes, I’ve brought up training with her as well. [ aka badgering the poor woman with wild delusions of death and destruction. ] I’m scared to know what kind of training they are usually put up to.
no subject
I suppose I can't fault a doctor for being apprehensive. Indeed, I'm sure Miss Gliese would appreciate your initiative and precautionary measures.
02
Apparently they were used as bloodhounds in her colony.
no subject
Yeah well my concern is first and foremost for the welfare of the poor bastards stuck here. If my concern and hers happen to line up, then lucky us.
FROM: mccoy.leonard@cdc.org
Bloodhounds? Where in the hell is it supposed to sense anything with that face? It's just a giant gaping maw!
no subject
Somehow I doubt Miss Gliese would want to have to start the recruitment process all over again... But point taken.
02
Ah, it doesn't stay that way for long, I'm fairly sure.

[ adding this to her list of worries ]
no subject
I'm sorry that's doctor-patient confidentiality.
[ Okay, yes, now he's just being an ass. ]
no subject
it was more a question about the danger of the hatchlings
[ She's a little too used to it. ]
no subject
They seem to be pretty damn aggressive from birth. Once the initial pissing contest is over and you come out the winner they seem rather docile. Er. Can’t say just how domestic or not this species is
[ Sure would be nice if he had all of his science equipment besides just his medical supplies! ]
FROM: mccoy.leonard@cdc.org
Gliese called them a “pet” on her planet, so take that as you will. Treat it as a smart wild animal and you should be fine.
no subject
i did notice the biting lessened. i'm not so sure they're 'pets' though. at least not the way she thinks.
no subject
You'd be surprised what passes as another species' idea of a pet. I've seen my fair share of odd creatures believe me.
no subject
i'm starting to miss dogs.
no subject
I'm starting to miss much more than dogs.
no subject
is your home much different from this?
no subject
I am fairly certain i may or may not need stitches from one of these bites. like one stitch. four max.
FROM: stilinski.stiles@cdc.org
you know i think that may be a matter for a doctor to decide on the exact amount
no subject
FROM: mccoy.leonard@cdc.org
Probably. Where are you? Which rover?

???
Or we can not be horrific sociopaths and just reattach them! Believe me it doesn't teach these people to stop getting injured. Have you seen holovids of seventeenth century pirates?
FROM: mccoy.leonard@cdc.org
Those bastards were missing legs and arms and eyes and that didn't stop them!
no subject
no subject
Well, disgusting as that is, my point still stands!
no subject
Give it to me honestly-- anyone call in any missing fingers yet? Decapitated toes? Punctured eyeballs that need a bandaid and a little polish?
no subject
If you find any peculiar symptoms that can be preserved, please keep a sample for me.
no subject
Pickled or sugared?
[ Ho ho ho, he's a punny man. ]

Do you have one of each?
