Maji straightened imaginary creases from her uniform before entering Sickbay. When she’d received the orders assigning her to the Saracen, she’d looked over the ships’ layout and its roster, but didn’t recognize any of the names listed. That had been six days ago. Upon arriving, Maji had gotten her quarters assignment and taken a few minutes to freshen up before heading out to meet her new department head.

When the bay doors opened to allow her entrance, one hand stole up to her neck where a black cuff encircled her neck and rose one inch above the uniform collar. It guarded the most fragile part of her anatomy—small gills that allowed her to breathe in water. It was an ability Maji was proud of, but also one that was slowly evolving out of the ‘land dwellers’ on her planet, M43.

Taking a few steps inside Medical, light blue eyes looked around with excitement. It was the most complete and up to date bay she’d seen thus far in her career and she was more than ready to jump right in. But first…”Excuse me, Lt Maji reporting to see the Chief Medical Officer? I just arrived today.” She spoke to an older looking nurse with a sharp gaze.

—Maji

Nurse Longstreet, sour and more than a little acerbic was less than impressed with the waify looking thing in front of her. She fixed her most dour gaze upon this sweet young thing “Yes… So I see… I’m Nurse Longstreet, the Chief Nursing Officer. You’ll find Doctor Harrison in the lab… Always in the lab… If I didn’t turn off the lights myself, I’d swear he sleeps there.” She gestured through the door to the left “Through there. Past the surgical suites and recovery ward, take a right. The labs are through there. He’ll be in the back. He’s claimed that for himself and his damned foolish research… Well?… Get along with yourself, young woman, you’re a Doctor, not a doorstop!”

Maji felt herself pulling back, physically and emotionally, from the stern woman. Hopefully, she wouldn’t have to work too many shifts with the CNO because it seemed the woman didn’t care for people. Or maybe it was just certain people? Perhaps it would be alright once they got to know each other. Maybe…

With a shooing gesture and not a second thought, the woman bustled through, her viper gaze firmly fixed on another young Doctor who was currently unforgivably destroying the arrangement of a trauma cart.

Moving away in the direction Nurse Longstreet pointed, Lt Maji tried to take in as much detail as possible as she wound through the back hallways and rooms of the medical department. Once she made it to the labs, she began looking for a space that might be good for her own experiments. If the CMO would allow it, she wanted to continue her research on aquatic creatures in her off time. It was her long term goal to return to M43 and offer treatment and genetic testing and correction, to the inhabitants of her own world.

Her walk soon ended at the back of a large, busy looking lab. She could hear someone moving around, but hadn’t caught sight of them yet. “Excuse me? Doctor Harrison? I’m Lt Maji, reporting for duty, Sir.”
