Dean found himself on the way to Sickbay on Deck 3 for his boarding physical.

He entered through the doors and entered the room, waiting to be seen to. Since his last physical, he had been struggling with sleep, but he suspected that was psychological than physical. He had previously caught an infection on an away team mission with another ship, but the quarantine and the recovery from that had been complete and he was given a clean bill of health In fact everything was pretty good, although he did have an unfortunate habbit of stumbling every now and then, which he ably displayed at that point in proceedings.

“I’m ok,” he said, righting himself, “I’m Nicolas Dean, the new COS and am here for my physical.”
