Posted by Cadet Anders Taurean (Scientist) in Sickbay - Cadet Taurean Gets a Preliminary Physical
Where would Anders Taurean be without doctors? He guessed somewhere back in Buenos Aires, playing caretaker to his parents and most likely without the use of his right arm. The safer life that his mother and Lillian asked him to lead whenever they deemed Anders to be riding a dangerous line. But Lillian was gone, and once she was it felt as good a time as any for Anders to act in spite of his mom.

Starships had effectively wide corridors, but being Anders’ first true day aboard, he was still getting used to it. He felt as though he had to stop and let passing officers by, even though there was more than enough room for more than just the two people. As he thought the thought, he conjured its reality, and paused as two Ensigns strode past. At first Anders pretended to be checking his uniform, but then the pain flared up and numbed in his right forearm. Two years into the consistent pain, Anders had to laugh. Of all the things, playing recreational basketball to be the thing that almost cost him all use of his dominant arm. Even after endless tests and procedures, Cadet Taurean was told that while he was lucky to regain near full-use of the arm, the nerve damage had been just serious enough that they were unable to undo all of it. Of all the unluck.

Anders let out a deep, nervous breath as he stepped into sickbay and, addressing nobody in particular, said:

“Cadet Anders Taurean, reporting for my physical examination.”
