“Make sure we get her some anti-inflammatories. And you. You ever pull a stunt like that again, I’ll break your other leg. I dont care how much time you save sliding down the ladder, if you cant do it right then dont do it. Copy?” and the Petty Officer from the Security Section replied simply “Copy, Doc. Sorry.” to which the CMO said “Better be.” and he stalked off.

He looked at the chronometer on the wall and saw that his shift was ending. But he remembered his meeting with the Chief Engineer. His teeth clenched as he glared at the time, seemingly trying to make it move backwards by sheer will alone. Finally he looked at the Charge Nurse. “Make sure Bl’teer finishes his reports before he leaves. If skips out on his paperwork again, he gets to deal with me. And have Hall look over the appendectomy. He has to sign off. When the Chief Engineer shows up, send her to my office.” “Copy that, Boss.” she replied with a nod and watched him enter the office and the door slide closed. She slowly counted to five with her fingers on one hand and then exhaled. Looking at another nurse, she said “What the hell was that?” and the other nurse giggled. “I know, right? I didnt think I’d ever see that man have a good day.” and the Charge Nurse lightly slapped her shoulder and smiled. “STOP!” she said with mock indignation. She looked at the door. “He works so hard. And he keeps the Brass off our backs. He is a right royal pain in the posterior, but at least he let’s us work. I’ve never had a Chief look at me and say ‘You know what you are doing. So go do it. You come to me if there’s a problem. Otherwise do your job.’ And that, my dear girl, is the best compliment a nurse can get from a CMO.” The smaller nurse followed her gaze and said to the door “He is hard to get along with. But easy to work for.” sand the senior nurse replied “If you know your stuff. If you dont, God help you!” and the other laughed and said “Now thats a fact!” and looked back again to the door. She patted the Charge Nurse on the back and said “Ok, see you tomorrow. Have a good night. Lunch tomorrow?” and the CN smiled and said “Its a date. Let’s do 11.” and the other nodded and departed.

The nurse looked at the closed door and shook her head with a smile. “There is no getting to that man, I swear.” and walked off to her duties.

Bridie had been pacing I’m her quarters for nearly ten minutes. The padd with the glove information sat by the door next to her boots. Just before 2nd shift ended, she took a deep breath and slid her boots on and picked up the small piece of tech and headed for medical. He’s just the Doc, Bree… not a Klingon warlord. Get it together she reminded herself.

Stepping into medical just as the nurses finished talking, she smiled. “Hi, I’m here to see the Doc.” She said, nodding to his office.

Her uniform was clean and neat. She’d put a fresh one on, not wanting to come in here with something she’d been working in all day. It was a working dinner and she knew better than to consider it anything but.

The Charge Nurse, the same one from when Jodders was in, said “The Boss in his office. And lucky you, he’s in a good mood. Well… for him anyway.” and she giggled. “He’s expecting you, Ma’am. Just knock. He broke the chime a few weeks ago.”

As the CE got close to door, the faint sounds of music could be heard from inside, with a gravelly voice that was surprisingly good singing along quietly:

“Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke
Caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he’s a heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she’s the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die freeeee…”

Kane, CMO

Bridie nodded, “Thank you,” barely able to keep a straight face. Good mood, huh? She absently wondered what had been the cause as she stepped up to the door.

Hearing him singing, she smiled and listened a moment. She didn’t know the song so she tapped a few odd the lyrics into the padd and sent then to her personal file so they wouldn’t accidentally pop back up while they were talking.

Waiting till he paused, she knocked and announced herself. “It’s Marshall, Sir.” She said, tugging down the edge of her tunic as she fidgeted.

The singing stopped immediately, and few seconds later the music did as well. The door slid open and allowed her access to the office.
The office was… chaotic, would be the best description. PaDDs scattered here and there, bits of medical equipment, and even various articles of clothes lay on furniture and over the backs of the three chairs in the room. The only parts of the room that weren’t scattered with stuff were a large table with five chairs and a cot off to the back of the room, next to which sat an immaculate but well-used medical bag.

The CMO himself was dressed in his uniform… sort of. Regulation pants and boots were topped with his undershirt, his uniform top having been thrown over the back of his chair behind the desk. He ran his fingers through his hair, briefly pulling the mane from his face and said “C’mon in. You can set up on the table.”, his tone his normal gruff, antagonistic self.

Keeping her face as calm as possible, she moved to the table and set the Padd down. “How was your day?” She asked, sitting down and sliding the padd towards him.

“Specs and initial sim there. Plasma still sticking to the outer layer.” She leaned back in the chair, stretching her legs out straight before her under the table. Her hands going to lap, fiddling with the hem of her top.

She watched him move and wondered how much of his body wa covered in tattoos.

Kane went behind the desk and came back with two bottles of water. Wordlessly setting one in front of her, he said “Let me see the specs.” and reached for the PaDD. He reviewed the data before him for several minutes in silence.
He looked up and looked at her prototype. He reached for it and said “Can I try it on?”
