The hour was late and Sickbay was quiet as Anaya entered for her boarding examination, the low hum of the various diagnostic machines in standby mode adding an almost restful background music, which combined with the lowered lighting led to a peaceful ambience, almost more like a meditation chamber than a theatre where the actors fought a life and death struggle on a daily basis.

“Hello?” She called in a hushed tone, wary of disturbing the tranquility of the compartment.

There was a light soft piano music playing from one of the labs in the bay. Old earth classical and seeming to meld into the background of the machines hum to the point that the ears of anyone hearing it really had to strain and their brains asked the question ‘am I really hearing that?’ As such anyone in the bay would possibly be so intent on answering this that it effector acted as a cover for the noise of anyone moving around, almost deliberately.

“Good evening.” A voice said and should Anaya turn towards it she would find herself face to face with a tall dark-eyed, dark-haired man dressed in a teal medical uniform. A black leather apron covering his front.

“Good evening… Doctor?” Asked Anaya, her eyebrow raised in an almost vulcan manner at the leather apron.

Theo watched her a moment and then arched both his eyebrows and held his hands up in a placating sort of gesture. When he spoke his tone was cultured, calm and gentle. “My apologies, I, of course, assume you heard me approach.” A slight smile touched his lips. “It is rather late for a social call. Are you well?”

Dr Knox

“I apologise for the late hour, my previous appointments had overrun but I was hoping you might still be available to give me physical examination? I assure you it won’t take but a moment of your time, I am in perfect health as you can see, yes?”

She listened for a moment, her acute senses picking out the agreeable notes of the piano. She closed her eyes to better feel the ebb and flow of music, letting the subtle variations wash over her.

“Ahhhh, old earth classical, the Goldberg Variations yes? An excellent choice Doctor”
