Rado Gainn entered the sickbay, ready for his physical by the Chief Medical Officer. He tried to hide his limp, a little nervous that it would force him off the ship. He had done fairly well hiding it at the academy, but there were close calls. Whenever a professor requested to speak to him alone or whenever he had any medical examination, Gainn thought the jig was up. But no, nobody caught on.

He approached the nearest medical officer and tapped their shoulder, “Excuse me, are you the Chief Medical Officer?” He asked when the medical officer turned around, “I’m Ensign Rado Gainn. I was, uh, told by Lieutenant Turner to come here for my Boarding Examination?”
