Posted by Ensign Buddy Cullum (Security Officer) in Sickbay: Boarding Physical
I felt like it had been ages since he had stepped foot on a proper starship, though it had only been a couple of months. The Frontier Day attack on Starfleet by the Changeling and the Borg, and his resulting assimilation, had done weird things with his perception of time. Ensign Buddy Cullum had no memory of the events or how he became one of only a handful of others to survive the destruction of the USS Galatea. Or maybe he wouldn’t remember. Either way, he was grateful for the new ship and the distraction.

The doors to Sickbay whooshed open, and Ensign Cullum entered the area looking for the nearest medical personnel.

IC: NE Amelia Logan had heard the doors of sickbay swing open and looked up. She stood up from the desk in her office and started to walk out of the office. “Hello, I am Ensign Amelia Logan, temporary CMO until we have a full staff of Medical officers.” NE Logan had said. “How can I help you today?” NE Logan asked Ensign Cullum.

OOC: Don’t worry, until we get a GM, I’ll be taking care of all the NE stuff.

“Ensign Buddy Cullum, reporting in for my boarding physical. Security department,” he added, gesturing briefly toward his badge. “I know you’re short-staffed, so I appreciate you making the time.”

He glanced around Sickbay, visibly trying not to fidget. “Just tell me where you need me.”

NE Logan smiled. “Well, Ensign, you can come and sit here on biobed 1.”

Buddy gave a grateful nod and moved to the indicated biobed, hopping up with the ease of someone who’d done this a dozen times—but never quite gotten used to it.

He folded his hands in his lap, managing a crooked half-smile.

“All yours, Doc.”

NE Logan stood there with a medical tricorder and smiled. “So Ensign this your first assignment?” She asked as she started to scan him.

Buddy shook his head lightly as the tricorder began to hum, the sound familiar enough to almost be comforting.

“Nah, not my first rodeo,” he said, eyes following the scan for a moment before flicking back to Logan.

“I started out on the Saracen—security rotation, mostly routine stuff. Then did a tour on the Dresden… humanitarian detail along the Romulan border.”

His voice was easy, conversational. But then he hesitated—just a breath—before continuing.

“And then… I was on the Galatea.” The words landed heavier than the others.

He didn’t say more right away. Just let the silence hang for a moment before adding, quieter this time, “Didn’t walk away with much. But I did walk away.”

Then, with a half-smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, he shrugged. “Ark Angel’s the fresh start I needed. So… here I am.”
