Ari laughed. “No please it’s me who should apologise for just springing myself on you so suddenly, but I find it helps me get a feel for the department.” She looked around again. “Have you been on board long?”

“I’ve been aboard for a few weeks now - it’s honestly hard to remember exactly how long, there’s always a lot going on. Long enough to learn more than I ever thought possible in such a short space of time - and that includes med school and Starfleet Academy!” Miya grinned in return, appreciating her new CMO’s easy manner. Though Lt T’Saie had been an excellent officer and nurse and Miya had learned a great deal under her tutelage, the lieutenant’s Vulcan heritage had made it challenging at times to establish a personal rapport.

“So what d’you want to do, sir? I can give you a more formal tour of Sickbay - your office is over there - or I can answer any questions you may have. If I can’t answer them, one of our Ensigns should be able to fill you in.” There was something niggling at the back of Miya’s mind … something else she should offer to do .... if only she could remember what it was ......

“And, of course, I can do your medical evaluation, if you have time just now,” the Bajoran offered, trying to sound as if she’d meant the slight delay to occur.

Ari smiled “how about we get the eval out of the way then you can give me the grand tour?” She asked having apparently not noticed any thing amiss with the delay. “I often find watching someone work tells you a great deal about them.” She then added “oh! But don’t assume I’d be judging or assessing you or anything…”

“Of course not, sir.” Miya gave a polite smile, but she was sure that the new chief medical officer would, without a shadow of a doubt, be assessing her - and probably everyone else in sickbay, too. And even if she wasn’t, right away, she certainly would be as she started to settle in to life aboard the Challenger. Miya tried to set that thought aside; it was important to focus now, of all times!

“If you’ll make yourself comfortable on this bio-bed, please, I’ll call up your records and we can start the scan.” The incongruity of the situation struck her and she smiled more naturally. “Not that I need to explain anything to you, of course, sir! It’s just second nature now for me to make sure new cadets are comfortable during their evaluations.”
