(Takes place within an hour or two of Shock’s arrival to the Athena)

It was now time for Shock’s physical exam. He was used to them, undergoing them regularly, especially after potential injuries on away missions. Security officers had a long history of being the ones most easily injured in service – the last century’s harangue of “redshirts” being “cannon fodder” might even have changed Star Fleet’s uniform colours, in a drive to bring more recruits into the “golden” department.

In any case, the gold on Shock’s uniform looked good – a Tellarite colleague once said – it went well with the green-bronzey hue on his skin and his chestnut-coloured eyes.

He waited for the doctor or nurse in charge.

Noah popped out around a corner and noticed the Vulcan standing in the reception area. Tossing a few hyposprays onto a counter to be cleaned he headed over to the other officer.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting, sir, I’m Dr. Astor. What can I help you with today?”

“Good morning, Dr Astor. There is no need to apologise, I am in no rush. My name is Shock, lieutenant, and I am the newly assigned chief of security on this ship. I am here for the physical exam required before going on active duty,” he replied as succinctly as he could. He noticed the younger-than-himself physician. Dr Astor had to Shock a friendly demeanour. The physician was some fifteen centimetres shorter than him, and a little slimmer than Shock (even when proportionals were considered), but otherwise their bodies appeared somewhat proportional to one another. “Will you, or some other doctor, perform it?”

Noah gave a relieved smile to the security chief. This was shaping up to be quite the event in sickbay and the department was hopping.

“I appreciate your understanding, we’ve been a little slammed down here. I can help you with the boarding physical. Let me just grab a few things and I will meet you at Biobed 2,” he gestured to one of the nearby biobeds before heading over to one of the supply stations to grab a medical tricorder.
