For Siarram, it didn’t matter much. It would, if he needed a blood transfusion, but unlike Hannah, he wasn’t the overprepared type. His thoughts were, what were the odds he’d not only be injured, but injured in a way that required blood transfusion? He’d never thought of the trouble synthesising his blood and nor had any of his previous doctors. So if it weren’t for Hannah, it wouldn’t be getting done anyway.

Hannah nodded, serious but a hint of a playful smile. “Oh yes I did. I take the care of my patients very serious. Just ask Claire or the XO. I chased him across space for 5 years to make sure his knee replacement was done correctly.” There was a story there. And of course Hannah hadn’t really chased him, but it sounded funny. Of course there was no telling how Daniel would spin that story, depending on his mood. “Besides bringing the results myself meant I got to duck out of sickbay early.”

Her drink arrived and she thanked the man and took a sip. “How are you settling into the Saracen?”

Siarram smiled again, “Five years, eh? So you weren’t just in it for the medical stuff, then?” He said, implying she had been interested in the XO. “It’s a great ship. I’m not too busy, but not bored either, and the crew has been good so far.” He shrugged. “I’m pretty happy here so far.”

Hannah grinned, it might have appeared that she was going to laugh, but she didn’t. She pointed at him and then tapped her temple. Implying he knew what was going on. “No, not just the medical stuff in that case, and it didn’t really happen that way, but makes for a great story starter.” She swirled the fruit in her glass and took a drink. “The crew is wonderful. I really like being here. The ship has been through a lot though. First time I saw her, my first thought was she had a lot of battle scars.”

“An engineer can tell that before he’s even done with first system checks,” Siarram said. “All the patches, workarounds, not-exactly-by-the-book fixes… It all adds up to a lot of big ship boo-boos.” He glanced at her and shrugged, “Made me think of what you said during my onboarding. That this ship gets into a lot of scrapes.” He still didn’t think it was likely he’d need the blood they were making, but, well… He could see why she was so cautious.

“Big ship boo-boos. I like that. We’re kind of in the same business, fixing boo-boos.” Hannah thought about that, her first days on board. “The first day I came on board, I was woken up in my quarters to the ship shuddering and things exploding as we passed through a tear in space time. It was chaos. I hadn’t even reported for duty yet, but I went to sickbay anyway. It was utter chaos. Injuries of all degrees coming in, either carried by other officers, or transported in, before the transporters went down, turbolifts too. We were working with half a medical staff due to injuries too. I’m glad your first weeks were not so eventful.”

Siarram smiled at her comment about fixing boo-boos, “Mine are easier to fix. Even if it’s completely broken I can fix it. Same can’t be said for people. Once you’re gone,” he shrugged, “You’re gone.” Then he raised a brow that would give away his Vulcan heritage if it weren’t for his pointed ears. “Me, too. No wonder you’re so worried about my blood.”

Hannah nodded, “We found immediately that allies we have here, were not allies there. There is no telling how close we’ll be to help or how different the universe will become. I prefer to be prepared. Ah, but right now, things are pretty quiet, so plenty of time for fun instead of work.”

Siarram nodded again, hoping he’d not find that out for himself any time soon. He smiled to her last statement and decided to change the topic. “The Chief of Security. What’d you think of those giant dogs?” There was curiosity in his voice, as if he still wasn’t quite sure what to think of them himself.
