IC: Finally, he had made it! After those years in the Easter house, then the Academy and then his training vessel at the Academy, Michael Anthony Kenneth Easter (MAKE to friends) had made it into the mainstream fleets.

He wasn’t even overly disappointed not to be made Chief Engineer on the USS Sputnik, truth be told. His friend and colleague, and one time room mate, the Vulcan Turan, was better suited to that role, while he was better suited here.

He asked for a medical ship. Why? His specialty was in the repair and maintenance and upgrade of medical systems, be they biobeds, medical tricorders or other pieces of medical equipment- large or small. After all, if it was going to ever be used to heal him, Mike wanted to know it would work properly and as expected.

After he entered sickbay, he walked to a medical officer and said, “excuse me, I’m Michael Easter, the new grease monkey and I am here for my boarding physical. Is now a good time for that?”

A nurse walked over and said “Perfect time actually. It’s all quiet in here. Let me show you to your physician. They came to Drake, who was sitting on the edge of a biobed. He looked up. “Chart.” The nurse chuckled a little. “No chart. It’s an intake physical. Michael Easter.” Drake glared at the nurse and if looks could kill, he would have violated the Hippocratic oath. He sighed about as deeply as is possible. “I guess the nursing staff is never going to learn the difference between a hospitalist and a surgeon.” He looked at Michael. “Have a seat.” He grabbed a medical tricorder and dropped it on the biobed where he had been sitting. “Let’s start with a history, shall we? He pulled up the file for Michael Easter.

Micheal sat where indicated by Doctor Marshall and smiled when he said history. Not thinking that he meant a history of the Roman Empire, Cricket, the development of double entry book keeping or even the development of music, he decided to go with his own history.

“Well, I was born on Earth, in Brisbane, I’m the youngest of 10, I have four older brothers and 5 older sisters. I’m the first of my family not to go into the family ‘business’, instead choosing to become a Starfleet officer. I graduated 2nd in my class on my Academy Cruise, and while my colleague became the new Chief Engineer, I was assigned to Earth Space Dock and was promoted to the rank of Lt JG. I was offered this post as a result of my speciality being in the repair and maintenance of sickbay equipment - biobeds, medical tricorders, surgery equipment of all kinds and this seemed like a good fit. I messed up big time with the Captain when I met her her. I haven’t been sleeping or eating too well. And I think I may have pulled something in my upper back,” Michael said, “is that sufficient?”

“Lt Easter, out of curiosity, how long were you stationed at Earth Spacedock? If you are in medical repair, I’m a little surprised we never crossed paths. I worked the hospital and a medical emergency response unit. I was looking for a more medical history, infectious disease, major injuries, you get the idea. I’ll give you a sleep aid and I’ll have a look at your back.”

-Dr Drake Marshall

“About 2 months, I graduated, they debated between me and a fellow cadet to being the next Chief Engineer. They appointed him to the role, and sent me to Earth Spacedock, and promoted me to Lt JG. I mostly did the graveyard shift. Rarely got to work on the medical systems, as they mostly got me to ensure transporter systems were aligned properly,” Mike replied, rolling his eyes, “the transporter systems were always aligned.”

“Medical history, oh of course,” the young engineer added, “usual childhood illnesses and injuries both infectious and otherwise. As a cadet, I was sent on an away mission and had a nasty fall, my right leg broke and I was off duty during healing.”
