With no immediate operational duties requiring his attention, Alex took the opportunity to visit Sickbay. The assignment of a new Chief Medical Officer to the ship was a notable change in the senior staff, and he felt it appropriate to make a personal introduction. It was also an ideal chance to assess how she was adapting to her new environment and the crew she would now be serving alongside.

The name “Devin” lingered in his thoughts as he made his way through the corridors. There was an undeniable familiarity to it—one that he couldn’t immediately place. Alex had long since learned that such instincts were rarely without cause, and his curiosity was piqued.

Before visiting, he had briefly accessed her Starfleet service record. The information confirmed what his memory had been quietly suggesting: she had served aboard the USS Chimera. That vessel, while not one he had personally been assigned to, was one he had crossed paths with during joint operations in past years. The connection explained why her name resonated so strongly in his mind.

As he stepped into the turbolift, Alex considered what he knew of the Chimera’s reputation. The ship had a history of undertaking high-risk exploratory missions along the edges of charted space, often requiring quick thinking and medical expertise under extreme conditions. If Lieutenant Commander Devin had served there for any length of time, it meant she was no stranger to the challenges that deep-space assignments presented. That alone spoke volumes about her capabilities.

The turbolift doors parted, and he continued toward Sickbay, passing several crew members along the way. He returned their greetings with a nod, but his thoughts remained focused on the upcoming meeting. It was one thing to read about an officer’s record; it was another entirely to see how they conducted themselves in person. The atmosphere a department head cultivated could set the tone for the entire crew’s morale, especially in a place as vital as Sickbay.

Arriving at Sickbay, Alex’s thoughts shifted from curiosity to professionalism. This was not merely a courtesy call—it was an opportunity to establish rapport and ensure that one of the ship’s most critical departments was in capable, confident hands. With that in mind, he stepped through the doors, ready to formally welcome the Chief Medical Officer aboard.

As the doors parted, he was greeted by a gentle lilting voice drifting from the open doorway of the inner office. “Be with ye in a jiffy!”

Barely a minute later the petite brunette walked out of the office and smiled as she looked up to meet his gaze. “How can I be o’ help to ye today?”
