Ensign Shau looked at his PADD again, familiarizing himself with the layout and specifications of the Chimera. He’d never served on a Mjolnir class ship before, and the ‘saucer only’ design was new to him.

MJ was sitting in the crew mess hall on deck 21, looking through the device as he ate the last of his meal. He was still wiped out from the medical treatment he’d received on the Tribute, and the doc had told him to eat and replenish his energy. Truth be told, the session with the Counselor this morning has taken a bit out of me as well.

Ensign Shau had another appointment to keep, so he cleaned up the remains of his meal and set off for Alpha Sickbay on deck 3. That’s where he’d was told to find the Chief Medical Officer.

The Risian Ensign was more confident in this meeting than in the last. He’d been knocked unconscious while evacuating the Pickett, and his crewmates had dragged him the last few meters to the shuttle and saved his life. The doctor on the Tribute said he’d had a concussion, a few broken bones, and multiple lacerations. All of those injuries had been treated, but MJ could swear the left side of his face was still tender. Phantom pains, maybe?

While a boarding mission or heavy workouts in the gym might be a bad idea for a few days, MJ was confident he would be cleared for normal shipboard duty.

He checked in with the nurse when he arrived at Alpha Sickbay. “Excuse me Sir. I’m Ensign Shau. I’m here to check in with Lt Burcham.”

After a few moments a young medical officer wandered by and stopped short seeing the ensign waiting there. They looked around, slightly wide-eyed for a moment. Seeing that there were no other officers free they sighed briefly and then tentatively approached.

“Um, hello… I’m NE Goode… I mean I’m a doctor… Dr. Goode. Can I help you with something?”

Ensign Shau turned to the somewhat harried-looking doctor. He’d had days like that himself and could sympathize with the officer’s current predicament. Some days on a starship are far more hectic than others. MJ decided to do what he could to make this easy on his fellow Ensign.

“I’m Ensign Shau, a new check-in from the Pickett, by way of the Tribute.” He tried to keep his thoughts from his former ship and quickly handed his PADD to the Doctor. “The files you have access to are probably slightly out of date, but my recent treatments by the doctors on the Tribute are on here.”

MJ waited quietly to give the young doctor the chance to review his file.

Doctor Goode glanced through the contents of the PaDD quickly before looking back up at Ensign Shau.

“Well…these all seem to be in order. Should I run a few scans? I probably should run a few scans,” they said, nodding more to themselves than to the Ensign. “If you wouldn’t mind taking a seat on this biobed I’ll grab a tricorder. Shouldn’t take too much time but since you came all the way down here we might as well.”

The doctor gestured to one of the biobeds and then grabbed a medical tricorder from a nearby stations. Returning to the bed they brought up Ensign Shau’s record on the biobed and prepared to complete the brief physical.

MJ managed a ghost of a smile as the doctor did his best to handle everything. “Sounds good, Doctor. I think I can survive sitting in a Biobed for a few minutes” And Ensign Shau wouldn’t mind the chance to rest a bit. He was fit for duty… in his lay opinion… but he was by no means 100%.

“You do seem a little understaffed at the moment. I’m told the Chimera got a sample of that… stuff… earlier. Has Medical been studying it with the Science department?”

Dr. Goode tapped a few settings and opened the tricorder, pulling out the wand, nodding briefly. “Oh yes they are. Not me, of course, which is… fine. Its not like I wrote several research papers on exobiology at the Academy or anything.”

He began moving the wand methodically over the Ensign, glancing at the readings as they came up. “Any concerns that you’ve noticed since your last physical on the Tribute?”
