As the approached the door to sickbay, Taiya could sense Lia’s trepidation and gently took her hand. As the doors swished open, they made their way to the nearest doctor and Lia cautiously hid behind Alex’s leg, her head poking out to survey the scene.

Worthy of surprise, the sickbay was at a lull; its usual hubbub of life stalled by a lack of patients. As it was a general theme for the shift, majority of the department’s officers were on call but sent away from the bay to pursue effective work. The CMO saw little reason in keeping her infirmary staffed with idle doctors. Of those present, a young, Vulcan doctor turned towards Taiya’s family.

“Excuse me doctor, do you have time to complete our boarding exams or would you prefer me to make an appointment?” she asked, hoping that they would be able to get them over and done given Lia’s anxiety.

“An appointment will not be necessary, Commander.” T’Aria assured them, gesturing to a nearby biobed. “If you would have a seat, I will be with you momentarily.”

Taiya smiled gratefully as she hoisted Lia up onto her lap, sensing her nervousness. “Thank you doctor,” she replied warmly as Alex took a seat next to them and patted Lia on the head. Lia clung on to her teddies, drawing them close into her chest as she watched the doctor with great suspicion.

“Nurse O’Connor, please assist me at biobeds two through four in the primary bay.” She called out, knowing the nurse was close enough to hear her if he was listening.

The nurse, staggering from his routine inventory check (which he was grateful to be distracted from if only for a few moments), retrieved a tricorder and made his way over. He appeared gauche in his mannerisms, but his medical aptitude made up for his lack of physical coordination. “Goodday,” he greeted.

Lia giggled a little at the ungainly nurse and began to relax a little as she replied quietly, “…hello, I’m Lia…” in a soft voice. Taiya popped her up on the bed and held her hand as they waited for the doctor to begin.

“Hiya Lia! I’m O’Connor, but you can call me Micah if you’d like.” Micah knew it wasn’t typically acceptable to have a patient call him by his first name, but he wanted Lia to feel safe in the Chernov’s sickbay. She may be a battleship, but that didn’t mean the little girl should live in fear aboard her. “My..” he glanced at T’Aria, searching for a word to fill the blank, “friend is gonna run some scans on you. But don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt! Right, doctor?”

T’Aria stared at him blankly for a second, “Yes, of course, nurse. Miss Lia, do you mind sitting straight for me?” She inquired, “Think of yourself as a tree.”

A tall, bearded human man came into view. His hair was wild and disheveled, cascading down and hiding most of his face and completely out of regulation. Tattoos peeked out form the collar of his blue uniform, covered his hands, and Lieutenant’s stripes showed on his sleeves. A feral sneer crossed his lips and he looked around at the assembly and then at the CMO. “Need a hand, Doc? Just finished the hand in Surgery Two.”

“I look forwards to the report,” T’Aria remarked, “grab a tricorder and take Mister Keali.” Kane was an intimidating spirit, and although she’d never seen him with children, his nature left the doctor in doubt that he would have a positive effect on Lia, who already seemed perturbed by her surroundings. Gesturing to the man who had entered with the Commander and her young daughter, T’Aria nodded to him.
