Lukes new daily routine saw him make time for walking around the ship and simply talking to people as he passed, providing they weren’t busy or otherwise engaged in conversation. Today’s walk had him hiking up and around the medical decks, he had of course done his initial medical check-up but that’s all it was, he never really asked questions or tried getting to know the medical staff and since his conversation with Cochrane and trying to become part of the ship he was indeed going the extra mile. This meant meeting or at least trying to meet the chief medical officer who for all intense and purposes was a slippery fish, she never seemed to stay in one place for long and Luke spent most of his morning following her path around the ship till now where she seemed to be taking a break in the main sickbay, either that or she was conducting surgery and he’d walk out with a scalpel lodged into his thigh.

“Dr Wynter?” He called out, the sickbay wasn’t entirely empty as there was a couple of nurses and patients floating about.
