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?”.

Frank was a middle aged man with thick black hair that was greying at the temples and blue eyes that peered over the top of of half moon glasses. He had a distinct fatherly quality about him but was not, exactly, one to rush these things right away.

“Oh let’s take a look shall we?” he said as he sat down and reviewed her personnel file. It was a long process, with not a lot of communicating from the CMO. Occasionally a “hmm,” or a “Good, good” as he read it very thoroughly. When he was done he sat it aside and crossed his legs at the knee. “Very interesting file, you have there Ensign. When was your last medical examination? You need one of those and a counselor note to clear you for duty, of course.”

He motioned to the sickbay outside of his office door, “You may also want to visit with the XO, hmm? Make yourself available. Unless we have a critical event I am sure I can handle it for the next 48 hours or so.” He paused and then asked, “You have served on a ship before, yes? 8 on, 16 off, and we rotate watches every three weeks. So you have first watch starting in two days.”

He watched her for a while longer and asked, “Why are you here, Isabelle? Why the Memorial?”

OOC: Great first post! Don’t forget to sign off with a signature. Also it is considered poor form to post the actions my character will take for me. I didn’t retconn you too much this time, but let me decide how Frank will respond.
