Medical Scanner

The medical scanner is a tool used by Doc in order to diagnose the illnesses and injuries of the various soldiers he encounters, often the main cast. Its model is that of a Covenant plasma pistol. The device apparently requires a trained proffesional to used, though this is only because of it's poor design rather than requiring any real skill as it always glows greens to indicate a wide assortment of problems. When Doc explains to an incredulous Church that Tucker is pregnant, he claims he knows this because the scanner glowed green. Church rebukes him, claiming the device glows green for flesh wounds and other problems, to which Doc admits it glows green for "pretty much everything," but also states that it depends on the kind of green. The device also seems capable of diagnosing psychological problems as Doc states that one shade of green indicates rage "stemming from surpressed feelings of inadiquacy," when pointing it at Church. It also seems rather unsafe as Doc also claims that another shade of green causes impotency, and apoligizes to Church, as he was pointing it at him at the time. Church seems okay with this, stating in a rather depressed manner that he "wasn't using it anyway.
