“…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.

Natasha came out of her office and looked at the doors to sickbay. One of the many perks of being married to the Captian was the lack of surprises when it came to being on duty. There were plenty of other perks ranging from his lop-sided smile, ability to cook pasta dinners, and body that didn’t stop but right now it was prep that the XO was on his way down to check-in. Natasha gaggled his record and it showed nothing but an exemplary career and accolades from those under his command and the superiors above him. It made sense. She waited looking at the door for the new face to walk through it.

At just that moment, Andriss Krex, entered Sickbay, looking around and taking the space in. Holographic imaging didn’t do the Pendragon Class justice–and if he wasn’t mistaken, from his own review of the ship logs and rosters, he spotted the CMO herself, Lieutenant Knight!

He sauntered to the dark-haired human with his arms wide. “Lieutenant Knight! Hello! What fortuitous timing. Andriss Krex, formerly from Denobula. It is good to meet you in person,” he said, extending a hand.

Natasha could not help but smile. The man was the definition of jovial which was rare in Starfleet. Most were taciturn but here was the 2ic making her wonder if his greeting was going to be a handshake or bear hug. “It is nice to meet you,” she extended her hand. “Dante…Captain Knight,” she corrected herself, “has been on cloud nine since he heard you were replacing Colter. Don’t get me wrong, we loved Colter but unfortunately, Starfleet needed him. It seems however we,” Natasha stopped talking and her face went a little paler. Her mouth opened and closed a few times as she gripped his hand tighter.

Andriss warmly shook the CMO’s hand. Dr. Knight had a certain warmth which encouraged the gabby Denobulan.

“Ah, yes,” Andriss said. The Captain had mentioned the former XO kindly, albeit briefly. “Duty calls us where he calls us, and I have some big shoes to fill in my own way. But I do look forward to this role. “

Feeling a wave of nausea consume her, Natasha spun to the right, grabbed a trash receptacle with her free hand, and buried her face in it proceeding to throw up into the can while still shaking Krex’s hand.

Andriss instinctively rubbed her back like he would have one of his children when they were ill from the Denobulan flu as the woman was engaged with the trash can.

“Can we get a nurse!” he shouted, calming his voice to the doctor. “Dr. Knight, good heavens, are you alright?”
