William Hampton had prolonged the inevitable as long as he could. He had performed a maintenance on damn near every system in engineering, he’d even run a diagnostic on the doors to make sure their proximity sensors were properly calibrated. It wasn’t that the doctor scared or frightened him, as she seemed to do to many of his colleagues on the senior staff. He was just annoyed by the Doctor’s seeming willingness to put up a routine to play up her grotesque looks. Walking around the ship purposely startling people instead of just calling them on the comms, or hissing with a raspy voice at the people she was talking too. It irritated the Chief Engineer to no end.

He had intentionally waited for the rest of the senior staff to be checked before he himself submitted to the exam. Just to be sure nothing out of the ordinary was being done. At least on the surface, everything was being done in an orderly fashion. Although Hampton could not get the nagging voice out of his head that something was amiss. How did the computer manage to lose all of the files on the senior staff’s medical information? Hampton decided that if the ominous feeling inside of him would not subside, he would do some further investigating. And, as it seemed, the physical exam was one of the best ways to do that.

Stepping out of Main Engineering and walking towards sickbay Hampton debated how to approach the doctor. He settled on being only slightly confrontational and more directly honest with the creature who was the ship’s chief medical officer. It both made complete and no sense that she had that position, on the one hand, she was put on a deep space vessel that rarely, if ever, was going to interact with the main fleet. So in a sense, he felt starfleet had simply shouldered her off to the far reach of the universe to get her away from the every other crew and civilization. On the other hand, on a crew like this, Hampton felt the Doctor should be a comforting and calm presence to counter the bizarre escapades the ship was sure to get involved in. Staffing Leviathan with a CMO who looked like one of monsters the ship would no doubt encounter did not exactly achieve that purpose.

All of those thoughts circulated Hampton’s head as he made his way to sickbay. Arriving he stepped inside confidently. “Alright Doc,” He called out, looking around to find her, as he did not immediately see her as he entered. “Now that you’ve finished with everybody else I’m up for this fun little examination.”

The Doctor was working with one of her staff members working out a chemical solution for some project she was working on. When the Chief Engineer walked in and made his proclamation she looked up at him to acknowledge that he had arrived, then sighed and shook her head. “Please take a seat on a biobed, I will be with you shortly.” Her deep raspy voice carried to the other side of Sickbay where the Chief Engineer stood as she dismissed her staff for a long lunch break, allowing them to return at 1300 hours. She retrieved her tricorder while her staff filtered out of sickbay, putting their coats, gloves, and boots away. Most just lifted the goggles, a few took them off, but soon the only two in sickbay were the Chief Engineer and the Doctor.

The ambient music of harpsichord was shut off as the Doctor approached Lieutenant Hampton. “Do you happen to have your own copy of your medical records? Yours were among those that were either lost in transmission or corrupted in the files Starfleet Personnel sent me. I’ve made several requests for a cleaner version of the files, but still have not gotten a response.”

That voice, that obnoxious, raspy voice, Hampton could not stand it. He made no outward indication of that frustration however, as he knew no good could come of it. He simply walked over to an adjacent bio-bed and took a seat. He groaned softly at seeing the rest of the medical staff leave the room. It was going to be just the doctor and him, fantastic, Hampton would rather have eaten a battery than do this. He waited several moments for the Doctor to approach him. He simply had to filter out his irritation when she began talking to him. “I have them but not on me at the moment Doctor.” Hampton replied, looking her right in her orange and red eyes. He wasn’t going to be confrontational, but he wanted to establish to her that he was not intimated by her disgusting form.

The doctor returned the gaze, though hers showed more confusion than anything else. “Lieutenant, do you not remember me asking you to bring them to your medical exam when you decided to take it back when I came to Engineering to check your people?” The doctor started reading the gaze as standoffish and simply shook her head and pulled out her tricorder and sensor to start the scan.
