Posted by Cadet Kalos Onovren (Engineer) in Side Sim - Kalos Onovren Physical evaluation
In the turbo lift to sickbay Kalos breathed a sigh of relief. The chief engineer seemed less scary now that he had had the chance to start working with him. Some of Kalos’s original trepidation towards serving as an officer had gone and as the doors opened to let him into sickbay he wondered if that was being influenced by Lt. Stadi. Either way Kalos was feeling better. Approaching the doctor Kalos said, “I am here for my physical evaluation, doctor…” Trailing off he let the doctor finish his sentence.

(OOC: It’s perfect - a bit of background for your character, a hook to let my character join in - great start! :D Welcome to sickbay … I’m Claire and I’m looking forward to RPing with you!)

Miya glanced around as the cadet approached, retrieving her PADD in preparation for the check-up and offering the cadet a welcoming smile. “I’m Lieutenant Ven Miya, chief medical officer of the Challenger.” It didn’t feel quite as strange to say that any more. She indicated the nearest biobed. “Why don’t you take a seat there and tell me your name, Cadet? Then I can call up your records and we’ll get started.”

Sitting on the biobed he started, flustered by the strange request, “Oh sorry, I’m Cadet Kalos Onovren. Sorry, I’m not used to having to introduce myself to people, I didn’t need to very often on Betazed.” Kalos cringed at his cultural mistake, He hoped he didn’t appear insensitive.

(OOC: hope that that wasn’t too short, I didn’t really know what to do, but I didn’t just want to say that he got on the Biobed)

-Cadet Kalos Onovren

(OOC: it wasn’t too short at all - you’re doing great! You’re giving me more information about your character - he’s from Betazed, he’s worried about appearing insensitive - and all that helps me with my response. Of course, Miya doesn’t know about his thoughts because she’s not telepathic, so I’ll make sure I don’t have her react to something she doesn’t know. Kalos, however, IS telepathic, so please feel free to have him pick up on Miya’s emotions/thoughts, if you think he’d react to them.)

“There’s no need to apologise, Kalos. So you’re from Betazed? It’s supposed to be a beautiful planet.” As Miya spoke, she realised that the cadet had the black irises of his race; she should probably have noticed that sooner. Then she remembered that, as a telepath, he had the ability to read her thoughts - whether he utilised it or not was another issue. She gave him a friendly smile and tried to focus on his medical information, which had just flashed up on her PADD: age 24, engineering cadet, height, weight, vaccinations .... she pushed his last scan results to the biobed and set it up for a repeat.

“Just lie back, please, and let the biobed do its work. What do you think of the Challenger so far? What are you looking forward to most about your time with Engineering?” She folded her arms across her PADD, smiling warmly.

(OOC again: I’ve given you a few questions there to reply to - if Kalos wants to respond to them all, of course! Leaving little ‘hooks’ like this means your character can pick up on them when you reply. Now I have a question for you - is there anything in Kalos’ medical records that you’d like the biobed to highlight? Childhood injuries, missed vaccinations, old illnesses, an ongoing condition that might be affecting him at the moment - just pop them in an OOC when you reply and Miya can ask him about them in character, giving you the chance to respond. Also, anything you tell me here might give you some ideas to include in Kalos’ bio on the main Challenger page … it all helps to build up a bigger picture of your character!)
