Posted by Lieutenant Siegfried Abel (Chief Medical Officer) in Side Sim -A meal… take two (CMO)

The next morning, Lissi did what she needed then turned the deck over to one of the shift supervisors and headed for her boarding physical. If she didn’t do it today, her codes would be revoked once more and she’d have to explain to the Captain why she hadn’t gone.

She walked into medical and looked around for the Doc. She had invited him to dinner last night and had promptly fallen asleep while her wrist was encased in a regenerator. Despite guessing he would brush her off and not give a care to the slight, she still felt a need to apologize. Then she’d get her physical done.

Abel came over and smiled. “Lissi, good to see you. How is the wrist?” he asked.

Abel, CMO

She smiled and rolled her wrist slowly and left it hovering for a moment for him. “Like new… and I promised your nurse, to behave for a week.”
“I actually came for two reasons. One, because I still owe you a physical for my official check in. And also to see if I could make up my slight from last night. I invited you to dinner, then promptly passed out. Can I interest you in lunch if you haven’t had it yet?” She smiled and inclined her head politely.”

He inclined his head in return. “I have not and would certainly enjoy a meal on the company of a lovely young woman instead of medical reports and continuing education articles.” and he chuckled. He looked over his shoulder and then back and said “I am with a patient. Would you mind waiting for me in my office? We can finalize your physical there on my desk, and then take a break for food.”

Abel, CMO

“Of course. And I promise I won’t nod off.” She laughed and inclined her head towards him before moving towards his office. She took a seat in one of the chairs across from his desk and just looked around the office as she waited.

The office was tastefully appointed. On the wall were various anatomical drawings of varying species. A tall cabinet held old medical texts and some on, of all things, herbalism and herpatology. On one shelf sat a three masted schooner sailed vessel in a glass bottle.

On the desk were various recording devices, a PaDD, several optical disks and a disc reader. Also on the desk, in plain view but slightly tucked under the PaDD was a leather bound folder. Gold lettering was embossed on the cover, but the PaDD blocked the words.

She was looking at the journal when the smile from her face slowly disappeared. He had offered to do the physical over his desk. She knew it was an innocent remark, but she was having anything but innocent thoughts.

Too tempted to look at the journal, she crossed her legs to keep her in the chair and played with the hem of her pants.

It was ten minutes later when he came in and picked up the PaDD. He smiled at her and said “Truly sorry. I won’t be long, but I know you must be hungry. I can hold off if you can.” and he smiled again and left.

Abel, CMO

“I’m fine. Do what you need, Doctor Abel.” She smiled and watched him duck out of the room once more. Shifting in the chair, she rose up just enough to see the cover of the journal.

The folder had ‘SMT Foundation’ in big, bold, gold letters in the center. Under that, in smaller italicized script was ‘Sine Medicina Terminos’.

Abel, CMO

She frowned slightly and leaned back in the chair. Her face was calm and pleasant as she turned to watch him thru the office glass. “You are a man of mystery.... Doc…” she half whispered to herself.

He came back in and said “So sorry. I just couldnt get away. Now… shall we go somewhere less crowded and see what we can eat?” and he smiled and gestured for her to lead the way. As they left, Abel looked at the nurse. “Lunch. Contact me if needed. Thank you!” and the doors slid closed.
