Shortly after the shuttle touched down in the bay, the soft hum of the engines wound down to silence, leaving only the faint echo of boots against the deck plating. The faint scent of ionized air and heated metal still lingered from re-entry, drifting through the open ramp as Lieutenant Lovejoy stepped out into the hangar. The lights overhead reflected off the polished floor, and the rhythmic pulse of warning beacons marked the organized chaos of incoming and outgoing traffic. Every sound and movement carried a purpose, as the deck crew moved with precision around her, ensuring every ship was accounted for and secured.

Lovejoy paused at the edge of the shuttle platform, her gaze sweeping across the expansive bay. She took in the sight of mechanics hunched over access panels, security personnel patrolling with focused eyes, and technicians coordinating refueling operations. It was a well-orchestrated scene — the kind of efficiency she admired. Adjusting her uniform jacket, she took a steadying breath and made her way toward the duty station, her boots striking the metal deck with quiet confidence.

As she approached, the deck officer on duty turned to acknowledge her presence. He was already mid-conversation with a logistics clerk, gesturing toward a datapad filled with flight logs and maintenance schedules. Without interrupting, Lovejoy waited patiently, her posture formal yet composed. When the officer’s attention shifted toward her, she gave a curt nod of respect, her voice clear and professional as she introduced herself and confirmed her arrival.

The officer responded with equal professionalism, verifying her transfer orders and checking her name against the roster displayed on his console. Their exchange was brief but efficient, marked by mutual understanding and attention to detail. With the formalities concluded, Lovejoy received her next set of instructions — an assignment to report to Operations Command for debriefing. She accepted with a firm nod, acknowledging the orders before offering a final word of thanks.

Turning away from the duty station, she took one last glance around the bustling hangar. The atmosphere was alive with purpose — the steady heartbeat of a functioning fleet. With each step toward the exit, she felt the weight of her new posting settle in, a mix of anticipation and resolve shaping her expression. This was the beginning of another chapter in her service, and she was ready to meet it head-on.

She went ahead and headed to a turbolift and said to the computer. “Sickbay.” The doors had swooshed shut and the turbolift took off. The lift had then taken a swift hault and she started to head to sickbay. She entered and said “Hello? Anyone home?” She asked.

The sickbay was its usual bustling self with doctors and patients running about in various states of urgency. Specialists taking their time reviewing complex sensor readings and test results, while generalists were moving about managing patient care with short clipped conversations to get the crew back to their business as quickly as possible. A few longer term care friends are occupying one space and being tended to by the reserved botanist turned physician.

When Sara walked in Frank was at the bedside of one of these crewmembers. He finished up his conversation in his short clipped phrases before finally looking up at Sara over the top of his half moon glasses and smiled at her in a polite, paternal, fashion. “Chief, I presume given the uniform, how may we humble doctors be of assistance to you today?”

She stood there and then walked up to the doctor holding her hand out awaiting for a shake. “I am here to get cleared for duty. I’m the new Chief Engineer.” She said with a smile. “Hoping to get on duty soon.” She added.

Lance just got done with physical therapy with one of the patients when he saw the new comer wanted to get on duty as soon as possible he walked over to them. Just by looking at her she just got off a shuttle and he wondered and said “how long was your shuttle ride” he asked because she should rest her body if the trip was long and no one has ever went straight to work.

Lieutenant Lovejoy looked at the nice young ensign and said “Well Ensign I’m glad you asked. It was long enough. About 4 to 5 hours of a trip. I mean I had to take a shuttle to get out here to meet with the Memorial.” She replied to the Ensign.

Lance looked at her as his eyes narrowed on her “ well Lt we don’t know much being all the way down here there are no windows so I didn’t know if you arrived on a shuttle or if we’re meeting another vessel for a resupply so please cut the attitude I was just trying to help” he said turning away and walked back to his office

“Attitude? That wasn’t an attitude. All I said was thank you for asking. That’s not an attitude.” She replied back.

The CMO watched the exchange with his usual amused expression before turning back to Sara with sparkling eyes over his half moon glasses. He could have had surgery long ago, and maybe he did, but the image definitely gave him a more gentlemanly, kind old physician look. “Ensigns,” he lamented to her with a chuckle then motioned to the nearest open bio bed. “Please take a seat. Tell me, when I pull your file am I going to find any surprises, or unusual security clearances required, or are you otherwise unexciting?”

He paused for a moment then, letting the words roll around in his mouth as if they came out wrong and didn’t quite taste right, before he clarified, “Unexciting is good. Exciting is cause for alarm.”

Chief Medical Officer

“Doctor Silva. All I’m here for is my physical. I also didn’t really appreciate how your junior officer said to me. As of course, I am a Lieutenant. But I mean other than that I’m ready to get going.” She said.
