Brenna reports for her veterinary exam (Tag Medical)
Posted by Lieutenant Andromeda DeLion (Chief of Keeping Our Bodies Healthy (CMO)) in Brenna reports for her veterinary exam (Tag Medical)
Brenna picked up her bag, containing Luna and hurried away from her shuttle and towards sickbay. What a crazy way to be introduced to her new ship. But the sooner she was cleared for duty the sooner she could help with whatever crisis was going on.
She stepped into sickbay, iso-chip already passed to the nearest nurse with her medical file on it. “Lt Atoded reporting for on boarding exam.”
Lt.Atoded, CoPOOC: forgot my tag sorry
Andromeda showed up behind her. “Brenna! Welcome to the safe haven of the ship. Come on over.”
-Andromeda DeLion, CMOBrenna laughed. “Andromeda! I’m really glad I’m familiar with Mythology class ships. Because the signs and LCARS displays are all WRONG. What in the world. When you mentioned practical jokes earlier I had no idea.” Luckily attention to detail was a well honed skill of hers. Her mentor made sure of that. And she’d studied her whole way out here.
She hoped up on a biobed, the bag next to her. Having stopped moving Luna poked her head back out of the bag her nose sniffing and twitching in all directions and finally settling on Andromeda.
Lt. Cmdr Atoded, CoPAndromeda blinked. “There are signs now? Those must be fairly recent.” She held out a hand to Luna and whispered. “They can’t be that different to dogs, right?” Didn’t most animals want to smell people’s hands?
-Andromeda DeLion, CMOBrenna smiled, “No all animals rely on their sense of smell. So in that respect Luna is no different from a dog. But if she feels threatened you’ll get kicked rather than growl or a bite. And rabbits are quiet. They don’t vocalize at all.” Luna was quite happy with the attention, her ears standing up straight and her nose wiggling looking for treats. “She seems like you. I gave the iso-chip with my medical records to the nurse. It also contains Luna’s as well. Though I’m not sure we have a veterinarian on board, though I hope so since pets are my job and I’m not an animal doctor.”

Andromeda tilted her head, running through the qualifications of her staff. “I know that Ensign Martens specialized in non-humanoid medicine, but I think that had more to do with non-carbon-based lifeforms than animals.” She shrugged. “I’ll get a reference book for now and put in an official request tonight.” She was used to making it up as she went along, why not rabbits next?

Brenna laughed, “Don’t worry too much. I’m supposed to have at least two staff under me so maybe I can require one to be a vet? It’s not like Luna is going to be the only animal on board. A shuttle will be arriving in the next few days with a whole menagerie of them.” This was going to be an interesting test of her skills. “So, Doctor, what do I need to do? Just sit here, stand on one foot and touch my nose eyes closed?” Brenna smiled, obviously joking.
