Buoyed by her meeting with the Captain, Becca had one more mission to accomplish this night.

=^= Computer, what is the location of Doctor Knight? =^=

=^= Doctor Knight is in Main Sickbay =^=

Even better. Time to kill two birds with one stone, get her boarding physical out of the way, and give the good Doctor a little surprise into the bargain!

—————————————————————-

Becca strolled into the Main Sickbay, the lights were low and the place deserted whilst they were docked, Dr Knight was no doubt trying to catch up on some paperwork or some such working at this hour.

“I say, is there a Doctor in the house??” She called out.

“Becca,” Natasha said looking up from her PaDD. “Come here,” she moved around the desk to embrace her friend. “Dante said you were coming. How have you been?” The happiness es evident in the woman’s face as she spoke.

“Hi ‘Auntie Tashie’ I’m doing great thank you, how are you?” Becca managed to keep the surprise off her face that Dante had managed to foil her little plan, had he really had a band laid on for her arrival maybe?

“Still living on what I get in a cup. With the Oscar that is cold soup or cold coffee but I have been good,” she teased her long time friend.

Becca returned the embrace. Between having nearly a foot in height on Nat and with her broad shouldered boxers build, she almost engulfed the smaller woman in a hug.

The ‘Auntie Tashie’ joke back went back to a dinner party they had all attended one shore leave, in truth Becca could barely remember the origins of the nickname, probably due to the red wine, but it had stuck. In truth there were only a few years between the two women and their relationship was more of a big/little sister dynamic, although in this case the ‘little’ sister was almost comically bigger than the ‘big’.

Becca smilies down at her friend, wondering when she’d notice the shiny new rank pip decorating her uniform.

“So,” Nat let go of the embrace and could not hide the grin on her face. “Dante told me we would be having a familiar face around the place soon.” Pausing a second she could not hold back. “Okay, that was a lie. He damn neared skipped through the door like a kid on Christmas day when he found out you were available to take the position as his second in command. If I am going to be fair I was pretty ecstatic too. I mean the gang is back but this time I need to salute you,” Nat pointed to the pips on the woman’s neck. “The rank looks good on you and frankly I am happy to have the company again. Shore leaves will never be the same.”

The history between the three of them was long and filled with fun, laughter, an great memories. Having Becca on board was only going to make the crew stronger and life more interesting. “So how about I give you the once over and then we settle back with a bottle of vodka and catch up,” she suggested. “Dante can take daddy duty for the day. Say that three times fast,” she teased indicating a bed for Becca to sit on.

“I’ll try it later once we’ve gotten stuck into your vodka supply! And don’t worry, you only have to salute and call me Sir when we’re in company.” Becca said with a wink.

She sat down on to the biobed and swung her long legs up on to couch, making herself as comfortable as possible.

“I’m all good to go Doc, fully charged, zero defects.”

The new XO did indeed look to be in the prime of health, with the kind of body/fat percentage usually reserved for Olympic swimmers, the powerful shoulders to match, and muscle tone that spoke of hours spent in the gym and on the track. Her Polynesian ancestry showed clearly in her dark skin, sculpted cheek bones and dark brown hair, pulled back in it’s usual no-nonsense pony tail.
