Sam regained consciousness when his body decided he’d had enough time unconscious. He knew the Gavroche enough to know that this was a new sickbay on a new ship. The smell, though similar had a slightly different scent to it, still citrusy, just a different citrus, more … professional … less you’ll get the scent that no other ships want.

Sam appreciated that, and his eyes flicked open, which set off the appropriate warnings on the sickbay systems that the Lucky O’Grady was not yet dead, and even though he was unlikely to be doing the highland fling anytime soon, being alive was a good start at least, and in time he’d probably look on the bright side of life. He almost tried to whistle, but thought better of it.

A nurse was quick to respond to the alarms, silencing them with some deft finger work on the biobed.

“Good morning, Ensign,” she said cheerfully. “Welcome back to the waking world.”

“Good morning Nurse,” Samuel replied, “pleased to be back. When can I get to my duties?”

“Once you no longer look and feel like an incomplete puzzle that may or may not be missing a piece,” another voice responded, as Dr. Brad Walker strode into the ward, alerted by the alarms prior to the nurse silencing them.

“I’m Dr. Brad Walker, and you’re on board the USS Ogawa. In case you missed it prior to your sedation, you’ve been transferred to our crew for treatment and rehabilitation, and then you’ll join our security team. I’ll introduce you to the Captain and your new department head shortly, if you’re feeling up to it?”

“Thank you Doctor Walker, I appreciate it,” Lucky replied, “I am up to it. I …,” he paused, cleared his throat and asked, “how long has it been since I … saved the Gavroche’s away team?”

“Well it’s been two days since you arrived here,” Brad said, pulling up a PaDD. “With travel time, plus the initial treatment on the Gavroche… about two weeks?”

“Two weeks,” Sam repeated, trying to match up that reality with what his mind was telling him, “well, thanks doctor Walker. But a question for you if you don’t mind. If I was double dating with the elephant man, would he or I be the looker?”

“Most of your lingering damage is sub-dermal, so if your mug could pull before, you should be fine,” Brad said. “Thanks to modern medicine, you won’t be nearly as scarred as if you’d pulled a stunt like this before dermal regeneration technology.”

“Oh that’s good to hear, so I’ve only got my own bad choices to blame then,” Samuel replied with a grin.

A few minutes later, Dira stepped into Primary Sickbay and made her way over to their newest crew member.

She was of average height and bore both visible traits of her heritage: the bulges and ridges over her brows and the black eyes. Myqian moved with ease and confidence and cut a tidy figure in her command uniform and cropped tight black curls. She gave a soft and reassuring smile as she approached and nodded to the medical staff, including Brad. “Welcome back, Ensign. I’m Dira Myqian, captain of the Ogawa. I hear you’re going to be sticking around once you’re up and about.”

Brad gave a nod back.

Lucky smiled at the Captain.

“Please excuse me for not getting up to greet you properly, Captain,” Sam replied, “I look forward to helping protect the ship and her crew once I’m up and about once more.”

“With the Doctor and his team, I’m sure I’ll be doing my job in no time, Captain, and then I’ll return to my efforts to keep the crew out of death’s embrace, putting myself in harm way once again, so that medical can patch me up again,” Sam continued, “no, that’s not a threat, it’s a promise.”
