Having finally gotten setlled in his new quarters, Flynn ran down the itinerary of things to do when boarding a new ship. Lucky for him, the procedure hadn’t changed in the past 5 years. everything he was used to was still SOP.

Next on the list: 1430 hours-physical check-in. Plus, this gave him a chance to meet the ship’s CMO and see him work in a non-stressful situation. The new XO liked to meet the people under him in person, before going over their personnel files. This way he had no pre-conceived notions about the crew in DH positions.

The doors of Sickbay opened before him and then silently closed after he entered. Spotting the CMO, Flynn made his way over to introduce himself.

“Dr. Buckingham? Howdy, I’m Cmdr. MacLeod, the ship’s new Number 1.” The XO extended his right hand in greeting.
