Posted by Ensign Sorra Narssu (Engineer) in Side Sim: Sickbay Check-in
A short time ago, following the most recent crew rotation…

Sorra walked quickly down the corridor toward Sickbay. He had taken a short trip to his new quarters to deposit his luggage and was now hustling with several other newly rotated officers to the same destination. As the lieutenant in command red ahead of him entered sickbay the buzz of voices and the trilling of tricorders filled the corridor. When Sorra caught up he was presented with a heartening view. It was a flurry of activity, new crew and medical offers busily conversing, taking readings, and updating medical histories. The shipyard had always been busy. With a crew of 2,277 packed into the crowded but sprawling facility, he had become accustomed to bustle and buzz. This was nothing like his previous post but close enough for comfort’s sake.

He stepped to the side to clear the doorway and looked around the room. Somewhere in here was his bunkmate, or at least he assumed so. In the brief time he was in his quarters he had noticed that his bunkmate’s luggage was already sitting half in and out of the doorway to his room. All he really knew was that he was a human named Peter Jadaszewski. Just thinking about pronouncing that name made him anxious. Thank goodness for universal translators.

He waited as the three crewmen ahead of him were taken to biobeds to be scanned. Shortly thereafter the lieutenant who he had followed here hopped down from the bed and made his way out through the small crowd around the doors. The medical officer at the empty biobed caught Sorra’s eye and motioned him over. He walked over and sat down on the biobed. He handed them the padd he’d been carrying. “Ensign Sorra Narssu, Engineering. Here are my medical records.” His voice was what a human might call baritone, with the characteristic hum of the Saurian secondary vocal cords giving it an almost electronic quality.

The young medical officer studied him curiously,”You are a Saurian?” She asked curiously as she quickly typed in commands on the biobed to change the programming to scan for a Saurian. As she finished she smiled at Narssu,”I am Doctor Biasch and its a pleasure to meet you …do I address you by your last name…as Ensign Narssu?” She asked unsure of the correct address for a Saurian.

He nodded once and vocalized two rapid clicks deep in his throat, a vocal tic akin to the human “yep.” Sorra lay back as the bed adjusted to a reclined seated configuration. He rested his head back and kept still letting the scanners do their work.

As she waited she checked the scans which were just starting up with a whirr, they appeared to be progressing as normal so she turned her attention to the padd he had handed her to transfer his medical history over, reading it while it did so.

The scans showed Sorra to be in good health, normal organ function across the board and no sign of infection or injury. His records showed that the majority of his sickbay visits were in response to minor injuries common to crew working on starship construction. A smattering of minor burns and cuts, one concussion, and a repetitive strain injury to the ligaments of his right hand. Beyond that, he’d caught himself badly in a fall during self defense training at the Academy and broke his left wrist. All of which had healed without complication. The scan completed and he sat up and swung his legs over the side. “Is everything in order Doctor Bish?” He heard it as it came out of his mouth, that was not how she pronounced it. “Excuse me, Human names are difficult for me. Doctor Bee-ush.” Closer, but still wrong. He grimaced slightly and hoped he hadn’t been too bothered. He tensed, remembering how much trouble he’d had with Lieutenant Isaak Fuchs at the shipyard.

“Very close, you do very well given how difficult it must be to learn our names. It’s Bee-ash,” She said annunciating more clearly for him. “Just let me check your readings now.” She said as she moved over to the control panel and began to tap buttons as she read the data.
