“Deck Six: Sickbay,” Rhese said as he entered the turbolift. The doors hissed closed and the lift began to move. Slowly but surely, Bowman was beginning to get the hang of navigating himself around the Challenger, though he still had a lot left to see. He’d had his personal belongings beamed directly to his quarters, and upon arriving onboard had opted to proceed with his required check-ins. “There will be plenty of time to settle in,” he thought to himself, as the lift slowed to a halt. The doors hissed open and Bowman began to make his way to the ship’s main Sickbay; mentally making note of the distance from the lift as he walked. A moment later and he found himself arriving to a set of doors labeled “Main Sickbay,” which hissed open upon his approach. Bowman entered, eyes wide with excitement as he scanned the room. “How impressive!” he thought to himself, as he noted the advanced nature of this state-of-the-art facility. He paused for a moment to take it all in, and then noticed a few empty chairs along the wall near the entrance; so he went over to one and sat down to wait for the next available doctor. His face beamed as he smiled to himself, still in awe at the vast array of tools and equipment available to the medical staff. He found himself thinking: “If this is the Sickbay, I can’t wait to see the science lab!“

Max was in sickbay near a vacant biobed. Though in the fleet things like the refilling of hyposprays would fall to a nurse or medic, Max was tending to the task himself. It was an essential part of training since a doctor could not always be assured that there would always be a nurse or medic nearby to assist. He didn’t mind it. It provided an almost meditative break from his heavily interpersonal work in sickbay. Wearing a blue shirt like Bowman as well as the insignia of a Cadet First Class, Max was easily identifiable as a peer. Though it was his labcoat that indicated he was not a fellow visitor to the clinic.

Max did not stop what he was doing but did glance quickly to Bowman. “How can we help you today, shipmate?” he asked in a friendly though clinically professional tone.
