Posted by Lieutenant Valeria Doctra (Chief Medical Officer) in Sickbay New crew reporting for medical exam

The door to the CMO’s office to the right swished open and a Trill woman stepped out. She wore a medical uniform and had two full pips at her collar. She was reading a something on a pad when she noticed somebody sitting in the uncomfortable chairs of the waiting area in her peripheral vision.

She stopped and looked up. One green and one amber eye fell on Marcus and her initially slightly confused look cleared into a smile.

“Hello there.” she said. “I’m sorry officer, it’s all still quite unorganised here. Whom are you waiting for if I may ask?” she said in a pleasantly deep timbre voice for a woman.

Dr Doctra, CMO

“Hello Doctor , I’m Lt Marcus Kane the new Chief Intelligence officer, I’m just here for my intial boarding medical”

He had noticed the different colour eyes straight away, there wasn’t much he didn’t notice , being an Intelligence Officer his whole caraeer he was trained to spot the small details that most didn’t see, it wasn’t a big deal with having Heterochromia eyes , It was the first time he had seen it himself though.

Valeria nodded. “Welcome on the Manhattan. I’ve also just arrived really, hence the chaos in here. Please, take a seat on that biobed.” she said, biting on her lower lip and wrinkling her forehead in mild annoyance with her personell. She pointed to the one to their right while grabbing a padd with his medical history and a med scanner.

“Anything I should know in case I have to patch you up?” she asked, running the scanner over his very handsomely shaped body. “And why does a ship need a CIO?” she asked and then immediately smacked her hand over her lips. Her eyes went wide and she blushed furiously.

“Oh I’m sorry that slipped out… I shouldn’t have said that… I just always wondered…” she stammered. Her facial features were an open book to Marcus, every emotion was clearly written over her features.

Dr Doctra, CMO

OOC: Please share your character’s med file with me and anything the scanner would pick up :-)

Marcus offered a polite nod as he moved toward the indicated biobed, settling onto it without fuss.

“Thank you, Doctor.”

He glanced briefly toward the medical scanner before answering her first question.

“Nothing significant that I’m aware of. No chronic conditions, no known allergies, and no medications beyond the occasional standard analgesic if the situation calls for it. My medical history should be fairly unremarkable.”

He paused as she asked why a ship would need a Chief Intelligence Officer. The subsequent apology brought the faintest hint of amusement to his expression.

“No need to apologise, Doctor. It’s a reasonable question.”

Marcus rested his hands loosely at his sides.

“Not every mission involves an obvious threat. Intelligence helps identify the ones that aren’t obvious. We analyse information from sensors, Starfleet Intelligence, diplomatic channels, local governments, historical records and whatever else becomes available. Sometimes my job is determining whether something is actually a threat before Security or Tactical has to deal with it.”

A small smile appeared.

“And occasionally, my job is telling the captain that the suspicious-looking asteroid really is just an asteroid.”

He allowed the comment to settle for a moment before continuing.

“In practical terms, I provide the captain and senior staff with assessments that help them make informed decisions. I’m not here to spy on the crew, if that’s what you’re wondering.”

His attention returned briefly to the scanner.

“As for anything the medical equipment might find, I’m afraid you’re likely to be disappointed. I’m in reasonably good health. I exercise regularly, maintain my required physicals, and try not to give Sickbay too much reason to remember my name.”

He glanced toward the doctor with a faintly amused expression.

“Though I appreciate the thoroughness. I’d rather discover something here than during an away mission.”
