Posted by Cadet Ethan Koerner (Doctor) in Sickbay - Cadet reporting in
Ethan stepped out of the turbolift, narrowly avoiding an engineering cadet rushing to get to the shuttle bay. Smiling cheerily at them, and waving off their apologies, he continued down the hall to sickbay.

Entering the room he glanced around, taking in the biobeds scattered about, and the soothing hum of the various pieces of equipment. Spotting a blue uniformed lieutenant he strode up wincing slightly and gently rolling his shoulder as his old injury flared slightly.

“Good morning Sir, Cadet Koerner reporting as ordered”.

His melodic Welsh accent cut through the air, as he brushed his slight red coloured fringe out of his brown eyes.

Vincent eagerly welcomed the Cadet into his team, which primarily consisted of nurses enlisted to assist in the ongoing training of the Academy contingent alongside the occasional ensign honing their medical skills. Additionally, there were the Cadet Medical Officers, who shared similar duties t9o the other cadets but possessed a higher level of medical responsibility.

“Ah, Cadet Koerner, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I trust your journey here wasn’t too arduous,” he remarked, keenly observing the Cadet’s subtle signs of discomfort. “Shall we begin with both your orientation to sickbay and address that discomfort you’re experiencing? What should I be doing?” he inquired, ready to begin their training and the Cadets onboarding.

“The pleasures all mine sir. I have to say i did enjoy reading your paper on Understanding and Mitigating Risks in Alien Pathogen Transmission. It really gave some unique insights i hadn’t considered before.” Ethan raised his hand to scratch awkwardly at his head. “Is that weird? My partners constantly saying i talk too much when i get a bit excited.”

Realizing the offer Ethan shrugged slightly, waving off the help. “Thanks but its an old injury from when i was bouldering on a cliff when i was younger, broke my arm i did, its mainly a phantom pain it’ll pass. My parents thought that if they let it heal naturally it would stop me from pulling the same stunt again. Of course 6 once the cast was off i was clambering back up to try again. Went better the second time.”

Realizing he was blabbering slightly Ethan blushed. “Sorry i mean i’m ready to begin orientation whenever your ready Sir.”
