Alwyn grinned at the CMO’s interest. He says: “Long story short, I wanted to have a 3d chess game at home, and while I made some research, I discovered about his ancestor, the 2d one. And fortunately, my grandpa shows me an old chess plate that once was owned by his grandfather.” The doctor smiled at the memory when he held the dusty wooden plate, with the faded squares and colors.

“I made some research on the subject, and I tried to restore it the best I could. After a moment, he was like brand new! I finished it a year before I arrive here.”

Haadok listened with narrowed, attentive eyes. Though limited in her knowledge of human emotions, she detected a twinge of sentiment in Alwyn’s reminiscent smile. Vulcan doctrine made no enemy of pride, viewing it as an indispensable tool in the face of suspicion and dispute. Haadok suspected, however, that his smile was more than pride. Love, perhaps? Emotional attachment stemming from his connection to his grandfather? She pondered its meaning but found herself ultimately unsure. Human emotions were confusing and far too intricate to reduce to a simple word. Highly inefficient.

“Fascinating,” she muttered, “do you—“

[O]Nurse Broderick to Doctor Haadok.[O] The nurse’s hoarse and hurried voice bellowed from a tabletop comm-panel. [O]There’s a patient with a ‘debilitating pain’ insisting you check it out.[O]

Haadok didn’t need an encyclopedia on human emotion to detect the irritation in his voice. Something had ‘hit a nerve’, encouraging an agreeable man to bitterness. But that wasn’t so much her concern as this patient’s ‘debilitating pain’…whatever and wherever it might be.

[O]Thank you, Broderick. Tell the patient I’ll be with them momentarily.[O] She lifted her finger from the switch and glanced at Alwyn. “You are not scheduled for duty until 0800 hours tomorrow,” Haadok assured, “but I would appreciate a second opinion. Care to consult, Doctor?”

— Haadok, CMO

Smiling at Haadok, Alwyn nodded at him: “Of course, sir. Even off duty.” He wondered what kind of patient could upset a nurse, but according to the tone, it shouldn’t be that bad. Surely an overreacting patient to a minor problem.

OOC: Sorry for the wait!
IC:

“Excellent,” Haadok rose and jabbed a thumb at the door. Though she intended to give Yarwood the abridged rundown, Broderick’s eagle eyes spotted the pair before their boots cleared her office.

“Doctor…” he beckoned with a slight wiggle of his PaDD, “and… doctor?” Broderick wavered and pulled his alabaster features into a conflicted though fleeting frown. He prided himself on a keen awareness of all who filtered through sickbay, and yet, this young physician had somehow slipped through the cracks. “Nurse Diedre Broderick,” he approached and extended a sinewy hand, “you must be the new recruit, doctor…?”

— Haadok and Broderick

“Alwyn Yarwood”, completed the young human, shaking Broderick’s hand. “And yes, I have joined the ship recently. Nice to meet you.” He could feel Broderick’s strength while shaking his hand and resisted the temptation to slip his hand from the nurse’s grip. The man looked as unemotional as Haadok, although he seemed to shows a bit of hesitation when both doctors stepped out of the office.

The nurse was really good at not showing his intentions, and his presence was more the one of a bodyguard than a nurse. Yet, if his hands were strong, he could feel the medical experience he had behind those muscles. It was truly impressive to look into his eyes.

“I’m looking forward to working with you !”, Alwyn says with a smile, trying to ease the bit of tension he felt from Broderick. For some reason, Alwyn’s presence troubled him, and the young doctor didn’t want to have any problems on his first day of (unofficial) work. Turning at Haadok, he waited for her to lead the way.
