If Shon was capable of having eyebrows, he would have raised one. But his grin widened at the thought of a vulcan, or all people, soliciting gossip. “Nice to meet you too. Fancy title you got there, seems like we might be on opposite ends of the medical spectrum. I’m more of a rehabilitation and holistic care kinda guy myself. But Dr. Wynter, she’ll be more up your alley. She’s got an encyclopedic knowledge of medical diagnoses and anatomical abnormalities, although to be honest she can seem a little aloof at times when she’s not in hardcore doctor mode. Nice lady though, friendly as all get-out. Just be prepared for a little bit of eccentric energy, if you know what I mean.” There was a twinkle in Ensign Baht’s eyes, as if he was anticipating what a meeting between Che’lak and Jasmine might look like.

The eyebrows on Che’lak’s flat face shot up but momentum was conserved as her eyes fell to the floor. “That is most agreeable to hear. Her expertise that is, although of course I had no doubt and was aware that she was highly qualified. Eccentricity, even, despite its unnecessary and tedious nature lends itself to strong leadership. So my observations have indicated over the years, at least.”

The woman’s thumb rose to the door chime once more, sitting comfortably below her high shoulders. She gave the ensign a final inspection. “Can I anticipate the honour of working with your in the future ensign?”

“In fact, I was intending on discussing the process of my integration into this department with Doctor Wynter.” The Vulcan’s features remained motionless yet her words somehow communicated a smile. “It would seem that you are as much of an ally and peer as I have yet found here. If you so wish, I would be most gratified if you would accompany me. Your description has reinforced my perception that I may be at somewhat of a loss as to how best to speak with the good doctor.” After a brief pause, her eyes rose and she concluded. “I could do far worse than having a friend by my side.” Che’lak wasn’t awfully one for friends. Nonetheless, the Bolian seemed perfectly agreeable and she was keen to integrate herself efficiently.

Shon blinked in mild surprise at the request. He couldn’t remember the last time he had been called a friend by a vulcan, much less after just meeting. But a huge smile broke out across his face, his white teeth contrasting brightly against his dark blue skin. “I’d be honored,” he said with a hint of pride. “You chose the right guy for the job,” he joked, “I mean I am basically assistant chief medical officer, de facto.” He winked. “We’ll have no problem getting you situated. And don’t worry about Dr. Wynter. She gets along with everyone, I don’t think you’ll be the exception.” Shon moved to stand beside her and held a hand out toward the chime, giving Che’lak an expectant look. “When you’re ready.”

The doctor’s outward reaction to the ensign’s excitement was naught but internally she became concerned that her engraciating language had been rather too effective. Without another word and remaining otherwise totally still she pressed her thumb firmly against the chime control.
