The doors to Sickbay parted with their usual soft hiss as 2nd Lieutenant Stefan Burcham stepped inside. His boots struck the deck with measured confidence, uniform neatly pressed despite the clear signs of another long shift. A glint of dry amusement played behind his otherwise composed expression.

“Hello—” he called out, voice carrying through the quiet hum of the medical bay,
“—is there a doctor in the house? I’m here for my medical check-in eval,” he added, with just enough theatrics to earn a glance from the attending nurse.

He stood casually just inside the entrance, arms loosely folded behind his back, waiting for someone to acknowledge him—or possibly roll their eyes. Either worked.
