Ensign Isabelle Royce, (Doctor) (Judy Earp) in Sickbay

After pausing for a brief moment to ensure she was “all there”, Isabelle Royce requested permission to come aboard. Not waiting for a reply, she stepped off the platform, eager to be as far away from the transporter as possible. She gave the Ensign at the controls a brief nod and smile while inquiring of the location of the CMO, Dr. Silva. After instructing the Ensign to transport her belongings directly to her quarters, she proceeded out the doors and into the corridor. Locating the turbo lift , she entered and gave her desired location, Sickkbay 1, to the computer. During the brief ride, Royce mentally went over her cover story. It was purposely drab and vague. Too soon the turbo lift stopped and she stepped out into Sickbay. It looked fairly busy with what appeared to be on boarding physicals. Hoping that the basically dull routine, the CMO would be more or less on autopilot and that any discrepancies in her records would go unnoticed. She hated lying, but in this case it was necessary.

Surveying the area, she spied the officer who was obviously the CMO, exiting an exam room. As she walked toward him, she gave a small wave to catch his attention. Smiling and handing him her PADD with her orders on it, she stated “Ensign Isabelle Royce reporting for duty sir”. She followed him into his office and they took their respective seats. He continued to scrutinize her records for what seemed to her a bit longer than necessary.
After the routine questions and formalities, she confirmed that her specialties were Emergency Medicine and Robotic Orthopedic Prosthesis. Both of these specialties came in very handy on a starship. Ending the initial interview, Royce asked “Your Sickbay looks pretty busy, would you like me to get started immediately or on my next shift?”.
