After reporting to the Captain, Zef made her way to Sickbay. She was starving, but lunch would have to wait. No officer was granted complete access according to rank, until they’d cleared the proper channels. Until she’d been through the scans and intake in medical, she wouldn’t be able to look at any of the crews’ personnel files.

In the teal and black uniform of science, Zef entered sickbay and took a quick look around. She didn’t immediately see the CMO, but anyone could conduct the exam. “LtCmdr Rollo, ship’s counselor—reporting for a boarding physical.”
