”…and thank you, Ensign, for offering to chauffer me to Sickbay from the Bridge!”

Andriss Krex followed a beleaguered NE off the turbolift, still talking while the NE dispassionately looked at his PADD.

“Yes, sir, Deck 5,” the NE said politely.

“Thank you, Ensign. I can take it from here. Don’t forget–invited to my crewmen meet and greet tonight!”

The NE saluted and returned to duty. Andriss finished his walk to Sickbay alone, ready for his medical check in and to meet with the CMO after his earlier meeting with the Captain.
