Posted by Lieutenant Commander Zef Rollo (Counselor) in Sickbay - Physical for Rollo
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.”

—Rollo, CNS

“And,” Lavonne Washington cocked an eye at her, “you have an appointment.” This woman had to be new to the crew. No one came in during Days of our Family
without a medical emergency.

“Oh no she did not,” Shavonne Washington belted out a bubble of laughter watching the elderly grandma rev up the chainsaw.

The ruh nah nah nah sound filled the small nurse’s check-in station as the archaic sound of the chainsaw filled the room as the show blared from the console. “You can get it one of two ways. You can get it from his checking account voluntarily, or his insurance policy. Involuntary manslaughter. Which one is it gon’ be?” the sassy grandma in the show stated to her granddaughter who shook her head. Only when the husband walked in to the room did the grandma turn her head from the granddaughter to him. “Half of everything in this house belongs to her, which half you want? You want this half or you want this half?” the dialogue in the show sent Shavonne and Lavonne into a fit of laughter. This was a remark of the ancient movie “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” but the new cast made it so much funnier.

“You remember when Day’Quon done tried to leave Yvonne and Meemaw came over and pulled that,” Shavonne laughed so hard she was shaking in her seat. Lucky for them there was video content for it due to their other cousin Tyvonne visiting at the time. When the Washington cousins wanted a good laugh they would meme parts and send it to each other in appropriate clips.

“I remember him standin’ there goin’ wah wah wah wah,” Lavonne grabbed her sister’s arm laughing just as hard until a tear started to form in her right eye.

“Who be cryin’ now Day’Quon,” they said in unison remembering the family event. It was slightly different than the soap opera comedy they were watching. In the Washington household their Meemaw wasn’t slicing up the community property with a chainsaw but packing up one dish and then flinging the other at Day’Quon like it was a frisbee saying, “one for her one for you,” as his half of the community property shattered around him.

“Dat boy cried like a baby once Meemaw got done with him,” Shavonne said leaning back in her seat. “You know he ain’t gonna be hoeing ‘round on the next girl he be hookin’ up with.”

“Mmmhmm dat’s right,” Lavonne nodded to her sister taking a long sip of her coffee.

“Hello,” Jasmine said coming around the corner tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She heard the commotion from her office and knew nothing was going to get accomplished for the next thirty minutes unless she did it. The Washington sisters were the best nurses she had ever had and it that meant she ran the duty desk for an hour Monday through Friday then so be it. “You must be new. Days of our Family is on and they don’t do walk-ins,” she gestured to the nurses behind her. “So that leaves me. What can I do for you,” she picked up a PaDD.
