“His name is Enj, he’s a bit of a favourite around here, but I had to ask.” the doctor fondly ruffled the dogs head before accepting the handshake. Despite the doctors petite and delicate appearance her handshake was firm. “You don’t happen to be the reason I’ve had several yellows visit recently?” The corner of her mouth twisted up in mirth more than in vexation. “Elaine Janvier, the resident CMO. Welcome aboard.”

Lt. Janvier, CMO

OOC: And this is why I LOVE the Dresden. People read what’s going on elsewhere in the ship and make it part of their threads. I LOVE THIS!
IC:
She leaned down to pet the dog again, “It’s so nice to meet you Enj.” Bethany’s handshake was equally confident and reassuring. Bethany had the decency to look a little sheepish, but only momentarily, at the doctor’s question. “Apparently so. I warned them when I came aboard. But luckily the good Mr. Reed helped me figure out how to get that security system out of my shuttle. Took me all of two shifts to get rid of it.” She rubs her hand absently remembering the shock it gave her when she tried to remove the systems power supply. “With any luck he’s already recycled the parts and it’s long gone now.”
Lt. Gadi, CNS

Janvier chuckled, “I had a feeling it could be something like that. Though they tried to tell me different, they’re fairly familiar faces in Sickbay for their antics,” she shook her head at the memory. All 3 officers had been adequately treated, although they would find that they attracted more static electricity than normal for the next day or two. Hopefully it would be enough incentive to stay out of Sickbay, though knowing them, Janvier doubted it.

“Stores uh Reed, is fairly handy when it comes to that kind of thing,” The doctors smiled fondly, “The dodgier, the better. Although what were you doing with such an intense security system?”

Lt. Janvier, CMO

“Stores? So that’s who the guys in the mess were talking about. That makes sense now. And he is very handy. He was a huge help to me. That system would still be in the shuttle if not for him. He showed me the video too. Those yellows were playing chicken with my security system.” At the doctor’s question Bethany actually flushed with a little embarrassment. “Well, Doc that’s a bit of a long story. But I’ll try to make it short. My mentor used to be the CO of the Dresden, way back when. Actually she was the CNS first. And before that, well that was before Intel was formed. She was in recon. She and her recon partner got transferred to Dresden when it was all over. Her partner used to be CSO. When they found out I was heading out here, they decided…” she looks contemplative, “I needed to be initiated I guess.” One reason was because she was Intel, but after the CO and XO’s response to her being with Intel Bethany didn’t feel like giving that information away. Bethany had never been ashamed of her role in Intel, and was proud of it. But now, she was disappointed and unsure. But the captain was the former CIO of the ship, so maybe the crew was used to it and it didn’t bother them. “Rigged that security system into my shuttle. I’m sure she thought it was hilarious. Of course they told me it was because I was flying out here all by myself, but I don’t buy it completely. Probably because I was with Intelligence before, and most of my ‘experience’ was from behind a desk or in an office.”

The doctor laughed, good naturedly, “Once a Dresden crew member, always a Dresden officer. I’ll let the counselling department know you’ve been initiated already,” she winked, “But first lets get your exam over with,”

Bethany hopped up onto the bio bed so the doctor could do her exam.
Lt. Gadi, CNS

Following Gadi’s lead, Enj jumped onto the biobed next to her and lay his head on her lap. He very pointedly refused to look at Janiver, wagging his tail hopefully, although he knew it was futile. He knew that when Janvier pulled her tricorder out he had to hop down again. Janvier couldn’t risk accidently mixing his bio signs with Gadi’s. “Enj,” she said firmly, when it became apparent the dog wouldn’t move without prompting. Enj stood up, did his best to look pitiful and jumped down. “You can go back after I’m done,” she promised.

Bethany laughed at Enj’s antics. “Good thing Luna doesn’t mind dogs. Your attention might make her nervous, Enj.”

Pulling up the Counselors file on the PADD with the iso chip. She briefly scanned through, after years of evaluations she knew just where to look to find the information she needed. “Is there anything else I should know about, that I might not find in your file?” she asked, it was a question she liked to ask before she started scanning. It gave patients a chance to disclose any injuries or illnesses or changes that they may have acquired between physicals. It also helped her figure out just what the patient was going to be like as a patient, or at least make it easier to spot the hypochondriacs and the anosognisiacs.

Lt. Janvier, CMO

Bethany thought about it. “I don’t think so. Maybe some incidents of lack of sleep. Usually when I can’t stop thinking about a patient I’m working with, how to help them, what to do, that sort of thing.” Her medical records and scans would show typical childhood type injuries. Some severe malnutrition from when she was 7 during the Dominion occupation of Betazed. As an adult she has some minor injuries from training sessions, but otherwise is perfectly healthy.

“Peppermint tea is supposed to be a relaxant designed to aid sleep, as is lavender oil. It might just be an old wives tale but my cousin swears by it.” Though Janiver could sympathize. There had been the occasional case that had grabbed her attention for long enough to keep her up through one night or two researching.

As Janvier put the tricorder away, Enj jumped back onto the biobed with Gadi and nudged her hand with his nose. Janvier smiled, “Well the good news is you’ve passed your physical. So unless you’ve got any questions for me, you’re free to finish boarding. The bad news is, I don’t think Enj wants you to leave,”

Lt. Janvier, CMO

Bethany chuckled and pet Enj on the head a few times. “Well I’m glad to be cleared and I’m sorry to disappoint you, Enj. I have to go. I have a Mini Rex, a rabbit, named Luna. She’s small. And she’s been in her travel cage all day. I need to go let her out.” Bethany hopped down from the bio bed and pet Enj one more time. “Thanks Doc. I’m sure we’ll be working together often.” Bethany headed out of sickbay and turned towards a turbolift. Time to go find her quarters.
Lt. Gadi, CNS

Elaine kept a cautions eye on Enj as they watched the Counselor leave, he had tried to run after a few of his ‘new friends’ before. But, he stayed still, his tail wagging goodbye. Once Bethany was out of sight, he turned tail and started wandering through the doctors and patients stealing pats. Heaving a sigh of relief that she wouldn’t be sprinting through the corridors outside Sickbay today, Elaine picked up her PADD with the officers information and headed for her office.
