There was no time like the present, and Rende didn’t like putting things off. When Lt Kreed sent the schedule out she had Rand take the first available for her. Then she had the Yeoman reschedule anything that had to be postponed. At the appointed time, Rende took the lift down to deck 9 and entered sickbay. A passing nurse stopped, “Oh Captain, how can we help you?”“I’m here for my annual physical.”

A newly familiar voice said “Thank you for being prompt, Captain. This way, please.” Kreed stood further into Sickbay and directed her to a biobed. He pulled a privacy screen around and then said “Lay back, please. I will try to get this done as quickly as I can, but your record is not current. Expect this to take longer than normal.” and he began recording vitals.

Rende moved to the bed and laid back on it, taking very slow deep breaths. “Take all the time you need.`I prefer to have my records current and up to date.” Her vitals were BP: 110/68, Pulse: 79, Respiration: 14, Blood Oxygen: 99%, Temperature: 36.5 degrees C.

Kreed monitored her resting heart rate, respirations, temperature, blood oxygen, even the amount of water vapor in her exhalations. He ran at least four separate full body scans and then localized scans of seemingly random spots on her body. Once all those were done, he retrieved a hypo and said “Now for a blood test. Roll up your sleeve, please.”

Her bio scans were interesting. There were several injuries, actually a lot, that were all healed, but old. They would have had to happen when she was a child, but they were combat injuries, some… well that couldn’t be right… before her great grandparents were born. And at some point she had had a child, but when was hard to tell, and her record had no mention of a pregnancy.
Rende rolled up her sleeve and held out her arm for him.

Kreed held still for a long moment looking at the results. Then he looked at Rende. Then back to the results. “I know these indications are correct, because I know these instruments are calibrated and working properly.” He looked back at the Captain and said simply “Explain, please. You have scan results that indicate your record is very inaccurate. What is the cause of the discrepancies?”
Kreed, CMO
Rende sat up and pulled her sleeve down. “That explanation, Doctor is for the privacy of your office, and not a cubucal with a flimsy curtain for visual privacy.” She raises her brow. “Shall we?”
Asam, CO
Kreed simply nodded and said “Of course.” He gestured to the office door.
When they both were inside, he closed the door. “Apologies for the disorganization and clutter. My predecessor left a lot of things, and I am trying to find to sort. Please, be seated.” He took a seat himself behind rhe desk and then said “Very well. What do I need to know?”
Kreed, CMO
“This does not go beyond this room. Per Star Fleet Command’s order,” she actually rolled her eyes. “I am not human. My species is called El-Aurian. We are very long lived. Longer than Vulcans. Centuries. And we’re empathic. Command knows, but feels that society as a whole is not ready to know about us.”
