Dawson made his way into Sick Bay and glanced around. The pressure in his temple had lessened but was still noticeable. He was sure part of it was the stress at failing the Weapons Recertification, but it wasn’t the cause. Something had triggered in him. That red dot of light. Dawson shook his head to chase away the memory. It just made his head hurt more.

It seemed he was spending more time in sick bay than he used to. It had only been a few weeks since he had been held behind a suspenser field at one of the sick beds by Captain’s orders. He had just returned to the ship after disappearing for three months. In the blink of an eye, it seemed, everything he had worked for had vanished.

“Hello?” He called, looking about for a medical officer to assist him. He hoped this would be a routine migraine, they could prescribe a quick hypospray solution, and he can get his certification rescheduled. He had thought, on his way over, about if he really needed his certification. He was a comms officer now, not security. Still, so much of him had been geared towards security, the thought of not being able to carry a phaser seemed alien to him. He unconsciously began to rub at his upper arms to warm himself up. The ship seemed colder to him lately.

Lt. Q Dawson - Communications Officer

“Hello!” replied Sutalo cheerfully. The short, stocky Efrosian blue-shirt man gave out a warm smile. “What can I help you with, lieutenant?”

Sutalo, Ens.
Nurse / Medical Officer
USS Chernov

“Dawson smiled back at the ensign and said, “Hello there. Lt. Q Dawson. I was taking the weapons certification and developed an unexplained migraine at the end. I need to get it examined and cleared so I can work on retaking the certification.”

Lt. Q Dawson - Comms

The call from the main bay brought Jenyfer out to see who it was. Seeing the nurse had it in hand, she smiled to the two of them. “Everything all right?” She was pretty sure it was, but it seemed rude to show up, then disappear without a word.

Dawson gave the Doctor a smile and said, “I think so. I’m just getting checked out for a sudden migraine.” He walked over and offered his hand, “Lt. Q Dawson, Chie-” he caught himself and choked off the last syllable. He was about to introduce himself as the Chief Weapons Officer, but that wasn’t the case. “Communications Officer. I don’t think we’ve met yet, Lieutenant…”

Lt. Q Dawson, Comms.

Jenyfer nodded and smiled. “Jenyfer Lynset, new medical officer. My pleasure. You’re in good hands with Ensign Sutalo.” She had been about to leave it at that when she had a thought.

“Communications… how often do you work past your assigned shift time? Or do something vigorous before or after your shift? And do you use coffee or tea to stay awake or give you sharper reflexes during stressful moments?” It was a long shot, but an idea had occurred to her.

Dawson gave a shy smile as he scratched the back of his head, “To be honest, while my duties haven’t been too stressful, I have been pulling extra hours on a research project. And yes, I do drink tea to help me keep up as I burn the midnight oil. You think that could be the cause?”

Lt. Q Dawson, Communications.

OOC: I’m not sure whether to jump in here, you seem like you’re on it! xD
