James sighed as he looked up at the wall from his bed. He knew it was about time he reported in for duty but he had been putting it off. He couldn’t quite believe that only a few days ago he was a hot shot head doctor in one of the best trauma and emergency hospitals that Starfleet had to offer. A stupid mistake later followed by a disciplinary and he was busted back down to the rank of Ensign and assigned to the Ogawa to be forgotten about. He sighed again and swung his legs off his bunk. He rubbed his eyes and his forehead and stood up and headed towards sickbay.

He was a tall well built man in his mid forties. His hair was short and and brown with flecks of silver to show his age. He had a bristly beard that also had flecks of grey. The trip to sickbay was uneventful and he made it to the entrance within a few minutes. He wasn’t really sure exactly who he had to report to. Not being a surgeon or a nurse but he guessed he was about to find out. He stepped through the doors and headed over to one of the offices that guessed was where whoever was in charge worked. He pressed the chime and waited to be called in.

“Come!” The voice on the other side sounded weary, either from staying up late and waking up early, or not sleeping at all.

James’ heart began to pound. He wasn’t usually one to care about what people thought of him; but that was before his demotion. He wanted to make a good impression. He knew he was a good Doctor, a great Doctor in-fact. He just hoped that the Commander would look past recent events and not judge him too harshly. He waited a moment, straightening his uniform and took a deep breath.
“Well this is it Jim.” He said quietly to himself and entered the office.

When James entered, he’d see a man slightly younger, slightly shorter, and somewhat stockier than him, hunched over a large mug of steaming coffee, waving the steam into his face.

“Can I get you something, Doctor?” Brad asked, looking up with red eyes. The reason was fairly clear, judging by the number of PaDDs now distributed in neat stacks on the edge of the desk.

James looked at the man taking in the scene before him and gave Brad a knowing look. He remembered the long hours he’d spent awake filling out reports and catching up on paperwork the junior members of staff had submitted. It was a tough job and James was partially glad to be free of that particular burden. A moment passed before James responded.
“Command....” he began and then stopped himself letting out a deep audible sigh. There was another pause.
“Ensign James McNair reporting for duty. I’ve recently had my morning coffee so don’t worry Commander. If now isn’t a good time I could come back later?” He asked empathising with the Commander.
