Cadet Polis felt the tingle run through his body as the transporter beam took hold. He watched the shuttlebay disappear and be replaced by the more welcoming lighting and colour of the sickbay walls. As soon as he materialised, the pain from his burnt hand shot up through his arm, a not so gentle reminder of why he was here.
He glanced down, the fingers on his left hand scorched black and his palm starting to blister. Not a plesent sight so he looks away and around the room. “A little help”, he asks politely…

Buckingham dashed into Sickbay with a look of urgency and concern on his face. He had a call that there was a Casualty so he had gotten there as quickly as he could. “Nurse, get this man onto a Biobed” He ordered, as he walked across Sickbay, removing his Medical Tricorder from his Lab Coat Pocket. He arrived at the Biobed that Polis had been placed on, the NE Nurse stood by his side. “Hello Cadet” Tom said as calmly as possible. He opened his Tricorder and began to move it up and down the Cadet’s body. He then focused more specifically on Polis’ arm. Tom looked away from the Tricorder and looked down at the Cadet’s scorched arm. He grimaced slightly, this was not a pretty sight. He then looked Polis in the face. “I’m Doctor Buckingham” He said as he smiled slightly. “But you can call me Tom. I need you to tell me, on a scale of one to ten - one being hardly any pain at all, and ten being the worst pain you’ve ever felt - How would you rate your pain? The answer to Tom’s question would determine how he would go about his treatment.

Cadet Polis put on a brave face and looked at Tom. “I’d say a 4”. He winced in pain and looked up to the ceiling, ” multiple by 2”. Polis never tried to miss an opportunity to show his sense of humour. “How long left have I got Doc? If I don’t make it, please tell my mom..... I ate those cookies she hand made for her work party, and I blamed the dog”. Looking back down at Tom with a smile, but the pain clearly showing through.

Buckingham smiled as Cadet Polis joked. He appreciated his humour, it seemed to take some of the pressure out of the situation. “Well Cadet,” He said as he folded his Medical Tricorder up and put it back in his pocket. “I’m sure you’ll be pleased to hear that you don’t have to suffer that wrath of you Mother quite yet.” Tom joked. “But I’m sure it goes without saying that your Arm is burnt rather badly. It should be a relatively easy fix, it’s just going to take a little time to do.” Tom turned to the NE Nurse beside him. “Nurse, I’m going to need 2ml of Terakine, 200ml Inaprovaline and a Dermal Regenerator please” As the Nurse set off to retrieve those items, Tom turned back to Polis. “Do you have any allergies to have any types of medicine at all Cadet… um… I don’t believe I did catch your name?” Tom said, hoping to engage his patient in conversation until the Nurse returned. Hopefully it would make him feel more at easy and take Polis’ mind off it until a some pain relief was administered

“I’m sorry Doc, where are my manners? Polis, Ezio Polis.” He reached out his good right hand to shake the docs. “Only just got assigned to the Endeavour quite recently. I’m only out of the academy and this is my first posting.” Polis hadn’t realised but that simple question from the Doc got him talking and before he knew it the conversation completely distracted him from his hand. “I was only meeting the new Security Chief when all hell broke lose and we got caught up with that incident in the shuttlebay.” Polis rambled on. “Any ideas what happened? I ain’t never seen those aliens before”.
