Dash strode purposefully down the corridors of the Athena, his baldric across his chest from his left shoulder to his right hip. He carried his bat’leth, but had left his bags in his quarters. He was the new CTO, and was here to serve ship and crew with honour and to the best of his ability. He was happy to leave intelligence behind, there were two many gray areas for him, at least in tactical you knew who the enemy was, and you were less likely to be stabbed in the back.

He reached the doors of sickbay 1 on Deck 12. The doors swished open in front of him, and he surveyed the room. Over 20 biobeds, 4 surgery and isolation booths, and medical staff and fellow crew providing service or being seen to. He waited for someone to be free to see him.

Dash continued to wait for a medical staff member to be free. He longed to be out on duty, but he remembered a lesson taught to him by his adopted father, Morak, about learning to be in the present, about being patient, rather than being endlessly on the run and busy. The scents and sounds of sickbay reached him, and he helped hold supplies for a medic as a storage cabinet was opened, he winked at a young boy who had entered sickbay with a female science lieutenant and couldn’t stop staring at Dash. The female officer looked at the boy, and then at Dash.

“Stop staring, Tal,” she said, then to Dashel, “apologies, Lieutenant.”

“Not a problem,” Dashel said, “I would be doing both of my families a disservice if I didn’t encourage curiousity amongst the young. I am Dashel Jamison, son of Morak, ship’s CTO. I’m pleased to meet you, Tal, and you, Lieutenant.”

Tal looked at Dash and waved, “Hi,” he said, returning to stare at the man, “my mum’s name is Gamina, by the way.”

Dash nodded, and smiled at her, “hi, Gamina.”

Gamina returned the smile, and said, “we’ve taken enough of Lieutenant Jamison’s time, Tal.”

Dash though Tal looked disappointed at that, but the boy looked at him, “bye Dashel, Sir, you’ll have to come to our quarters and have dinner with mum and me, she’s a great cook!”

Dashel washed as a slightly embarassed Gamina shepherded her son away, giving Dash a look of apology mixed with embarassment as she did so.

Dash found himself pondering them as he returned to waiting to be seen to.

“Lieutenant” Elaine looked up from her research and nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden appearance of one of her nurses. The nurse, who had been about to shake Elaine out of her engrossed concentration of the work in front of her, jumped as well. “Sorry to bother you ma’am but one of the new officers is waiting for his on-board evaluation.”

“Please, just Elaine is fine,” Elaine smiled, “Or doctor,” she added when the nurse looked uncomfortable at the suggestion. “What’s this about a new patient, I’m sure I didn’t see him booked in my calendar,” her voice trailed off. While she was often late or forgetful off duty, she had never missed or forgotten a patient’s appointment before.”

“Yes, sorry Doctor,” the nurse stepped back and handed Elaine her PAAD. “This one is a bit of a special case. We thought it was best for you to manage him”

Elaine raised an eyebrow.

“He’s carrying a bat’leth,”

“Lieutenant Jamison,” she’d only been reading his medical notes a few hours before. She remembered Doctor Hawkins notation in the file. It wasn’t one that anybody would forget “Thank you for getting me, I’ll go and greet him now.”

As the nurse disappeared, Elaine grabbed the rest of her equipment that was always ready-to-go right next to her and followed her out. Taking a quick glance around sickbay, she noted her staff seemed to be more occupied that normal, and yet there were no more patients than there were on any other normal day on the Athena. Deciding it was probably from nerves from the stranger and his bat’leth. Elaine left them too and with her white doctor’s coat floating behind her, she went to find her patient (he wasn’t hard to spot).

“Lieutenant Jamison, I presume?” the question was rhetorical, “I’m Doctor Janvier, but please feel free to call me Elaine. I apologise for the wait” she smiled softly.

Dash smiled at Elaine, “Hello doctor … Elaine,” he replied, “and please, call me Dash,” his eyes went over to where Gamina … and Tal were being seen to, “no problem, Elaine, I spoke with a science lieutenant and her young son … it was an … interesting … encounter.” His eyes went to his bat’leth, “I think this may have encouraged the wait. It was a gift from my klingon parents when I joined the Academy, so I wouldn’t forget the upbringing. After an experience in the Academy where it was stolen in a prank by some classmates and used to enhance a statue of Captain Jonathan Archer, I always keep it with me. I never want to endure that Groundkeeper’s lecture again. It was burned into my brain. I’m here for my boarding physical, so I can get to work.”
