Raymond gained quite a few stares as he walked to sickbay for his boarding physical check up. He guessed they were all enthralled by his ears (today, they were in the shape of those of a red kangaroo), or his nose, (which was in the shape of a nose belonging to a ‘Pinocchio frog’). He smiled at those who stared at him and wished he had thought to take the time to do up pamphlets to invite them all to his next presentation - ‘Knowing Noses And You: How to Pick Aliens By Smell Alone’. He would not make the same mistake again, too bad he only had one chance to make a first impression. The doors to sickbay opened up in front of him, and he entered.

“My name has the spelling Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it is pronounced Throat-Warbler Mangrove and I am here for my boarding physical. My ears, my nose and my throat are all in perfect health, as I check them all out daily as part of my morning routine.” Raymond announced.
