Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Nathan Hawthorne (Operations/Helm Officer) in Sickbay- New crew reporting for medical
Nathan came onboard when the Chimera docked with the Starbase as part of the new crew transfer, He wasted no time getting his stuff sent to his quarters and then off he went to sickbay, his medical, along with his pysch eval were two things he needed to square away before reporting to the XO to report for duty.

He arrived at sickbay shortly after heading there, he stopped a few steps inside the door

“Lt Hawthorne reporting for my medical”

He said hoping someone was there, as he didn’t even look around before announcing to the room what he was after.

Areiana held up a finger without looking away from the patient in front of her. “One moment.”

The young ensign sitting on the biobed wore an embarrassed expression as she carefully guided the osteoregenerator over his swollen hand. The device emitted a soft hum while tiny blue lights danced across the fractured bones beneath the skin.

“There,” she said after a moment, switching the device off and flexing his fingers gently to make sure everything had healed properly. “Good as new.”

The ensign experimentally opened and closed his hand before giving her a relieved smile.

“Thank you, Doctor.”

She gave him a look that was equal parts amused and disappointed. “Next time, Ensign, don’t accept drinking bets that you already know you can’t win.”

The young man rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “Yes, ma’am.”

“I’ve been a doctor long enough to recognize the difference between an accident and someone trying to prove they could outdrink an engineer.” A small smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. “Spoiler alert—you can’t.”

A couple of nurses nearby chuckled quietly while the ensign’s face turned a deeper shade of red.

“You’re free to go. Just try not to make me see you again today.”

“Yes, Doctor.”

As the ensign hurried out of Sickbay, Areiana peeled off her medical gloves and tossed them into the recycler. She picked up the next data pad from the counter, quickly reviewing the name attached to the appointment before making her way toward the newcomer waiting nearby.

She offered a warm, professional smile, brushing a loose strand of crimson hair behind her ear.

“Ah, you must be the new helm officer.”

She extended a hand in greeting.

“I’m Areiana Blackford, Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Chimera. It’s nice to meet you, Lieutenant Hawthorne.”

“You too Doctor” he said shaking the hand offered to him.

After shaking his hand, she picked up the medical data pad and began scrolling through the information with practiced efficiency. Her eyes moved rapidly across the screen, reviewing Starfleet Medical records, vaccination history, previous physicals, and psychological evaluations.

“Let’s see…” she murmured, tapping through another page. “Here we go.”

She nodded to herself.

“Overall, you look remarkably healthy. Your transfer physical came back excellent, your immunizations are current, and I don’t see any chronic medical conditions that would concern me.”

Looking up from the pad, she smiled again, her expression becoming more conversational than clinical.

“Still, records only tell part of the story.” She set the data pad down on the examination table and folded her arms comfortably. “Have you had any falls, injuries, illnesses, or accidents between leaving your last assignment and reporting aboard the Chimera? Even if it seems minor, I’d rather hear about it now than discover it during an emergency.”

She tilted her head slightly, giving him her full attention.

“And while we’re at it, how’s the transfer been treating you? Long journeys have a habit of leaving people more exhausted than they realize.”

“No falls, injuries , illnesses or accidents to report.....unless you count being stuck in a shuttle with a very talkative Bolian”

He said with a slight chuckle , he was of course joking, he respected all members of Star fleet and the federation.
