Noah wandered into sickbay at the start of his shift. He headed over to his office, grabbed a coffee from the replicator and sat down to read through all of the department reports from the day before. This had all become something of a routine since he had started on the ship. As usual, nothing seemed too out of the ordinary. He glanced up and looked through the office window out into the main area of sickbay. Several medical officers were gathered around, likely gossiping about something happening around the ship but there didn’t seem to be a lot of action going on. He didn’t dare use either the “q” word or the “s” word because he didn’t want all hell to break loose, but it was definitely those words right now.

Finishing up his reports he stood and walked out into the main area and cleared his throat causing his staff to stop what they were doing and look his way.

“Good morning everyone, let’s gather around for a minute,” he said beckoning everyone over. “It appears that our morning rush has yet to start today, so let’s take the opportunity to make this place shine.”

At that there were some mutterings and perhaps a groan which made Noah have to stifle a chuckle.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to make you clean all day. And I will be joining in the ‘fun’. Plus… somebody can pick some music to put on,” he declared as he picked up some stray hyposprays.

The rest of the staff brightened a little at the idea and got to work. They took turns calling out requests to the computer for various musical numbers and before long the whole place really was shining and nobody noticed that the whole morning had flown by.
