The day after her arrival Cara made her way to sickbay. PaDD in hand, with a map of the ship, she was not going to use the LCARs. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? The turbolift they took the day before to deck 11 they turned left and followed the outside edge of the saucer to the counseling suite. It was right above the port section of sickbay on the deck below. So take the same turbolift to deck 12, turn left and follow the bend. It sounded so logical in her head. But unfortunately poor Cara took the wrong turbolift. Got off on the right deck, but wandered the deck for 30 minutes before she happened on the starboard side section of sickbay. Well at least she had left really early for her appointment.

She stopped a passing nurse, “Lt. O’Farrell, I’m here for my check-in.”

“Of course!” Nurse Faraday responded cheerfully. “The doctor is right through there, you can head to biobed 2.” Evrilla likely already knew there was a patient, but Faraday called back regardless. “Patient for you!” They yelled, returning to their work as soon as Cara moved on.

Cara nodded and walked on through making her way to the biobed and gently hopped up.

Evrilla sighed yet again, was it truly that hard for them to actually show people to beds? What if they were concussed and fell on their way? That unsettling image in mind, she headed to meet her newest patient, only to be surprised by brilliantly red hair. Unlike the XO’s color, this didn’t seem to be artificial, and Evrilla found herself slightly entranced by the unusual color. “Erm, I’m Evrilla, pleasure to meet you.” She cringed internally right after, realizing how awkward that had sounded.

Cara smiled warmly her voice bubbly and friendly and with a noticeable Irish accent “I’m Cara. It’s a pleasure, Evrilla. I arrived yesterday, new counselor. We’ll probably be workin’ together a fair bit.”

“Yes, I imagine so. You’ll likely be seeing my daughter as well, I’ve read large moves can be traumatic.” Evrilla turned on the biobed and started the scan in a single practiced movement. She straightened up to speak directly to the other woman, smiling slightly. “Do you have any concerns or is today simply routine?”

Cara nodded, “I look forward to meeting her. Hopefully we can help smooth the transition.” Then she sighed, “Routine mostly. Except I get REALLY really space sick. I got a hypo yesterday from the on duty doctor yesterday afternoon. Said it would last 24 hours. I only get it at warp speeds and I never seem to adjust. I just stay sick until a few hours after we drop out of warp.”

Evrilla, unlike the average doctor, seemed to perk up at that. “We can fix that! Have you ever used Vertazine for extended periods?” Vertazine wasn’t the same medicine she’d had the day before, it was a variation with no long-term side effects. “Ah, apologies. I’m a pathologist, long term space sickness is right up my alley.”
