The veritable flood of words he received in return reminded him that this young person was most likely nervous and high strung. So he leaned against a console with his hip, set the cane aside and raised his hands to gently halt her from going any further with questions or comments. “I see..” He began, his tone was just slightly kinder than it had been. “And ‘Doctor Zarath’ will work just fine, We’re physicians before we’re anything else. No need for formality unless you need to slap down a higher ranking officer for being unfit for duty.” It took a second for his expression to communicate that this was intended as a joke.

“Now.. As for what I asked, I merely wished to see what experience you’ve had so far and if there were any experience before the academy. Europa isn’t a combat ship, but we do explore and are often far from support. Sometimes, there might be combat situations to deal with. If you don’t have any bad habits to unlearn, then I’ll be able to teach you to deal with that properly. Now that’s taken care of… Whatever you’d like to do on your own time is completely up to you. Europa has a fair-sized Arboretum area, and I’m sure you’ll be able to get Marsh or Zorell to sign off on any experimenting you’d like to do. Which… If I may point out, botany falls under life sciences, not the medical department. So I have no authority either way in that particular area.” Once he’d finished, he picked up a PaDD off the console and handed it to Fayth.

“These are the results of your scan. Can you tell me what you’d look for next in the context of the information present? Does this result match what’s in your file?”

-Zarath, CMO

Sharah stopped, she’d gotten away from herself again. She took a deep calming breath and listened carefully to what Dr. Zarath said. She took the PaDD and looked it over carefully. She took the time to read the information and process it. “Yes the results match what is in my file. If I was the doctor, I would be reassured that my psilosynine levels are extremely high and steady with no fluctuations. My neruosynapsis are firing without interruption. These two things indicate to me that there is no residual parasitic infection left over from my illness on Challenger. The psilosynine should be high, confirming there is no change in my condition.” Sharah pauses momentairily to see if the Dr requests further clarification about her condition.

“Very good.” He smiled.

“The scans indicate I’ve not gotten enough sleep. Though expected from arriving to Europa late last night and reporting early, for a patient with my condition it could be a cause for concern if it continues. Everything else is normal and consistant with my records.”

She made a mental note to Marsh or Zorell. She had a minor in botany as well and perhaps they would allow her some space to work in the arboretum.

“That was exactly my thought as well. First, let me say… Always read the file, and be judicious in asking questions and getting information. Not every patient is forthcoming, and the correct diagnosis is key. The more information you can get, the better treatment you can administer.” Here, Tolar allowed himself a small grin. “I believe your abilities will help you to be an excellent physician, even though you seem to pay attention to details well enough without them. Excellent job.” He took the PaDD back from her and made an entry before going on.

“Second, I would like for you to get some quality rest. Please take 48 hours to rest up and settle in, I expect you to sleep at least sixteen of those hours, if not twenty. Self-care is just as important for doctors as for anyone else. If you need an alpha wave emitter, let me know and I’ll provide one. Sometimes that can help with extrasensory stimuli. Did you have any other questions or concerns?” The Andorian had set the PaDD down and taken up his cane once more and begun to move back towards his office area. “Would you like a cup of tea?” His antennae snaked back and forth at the thought of a hot cup of Srajula.

-Zarath, CMO
Sharah followed Dr Zarath into his office, “Actually ice water please. Anything with caffine doesn’t agree with me and keeps me awake a lot longer than others.” She pulled her alpha wave inducer out of her bag. “Actually, I have one. My doctors on Betazed gave it to me. I never set it myself though. When I need it I’m so tired that I’m concerned I would program it wrong.” Sharah contemplates for a moment. “Actually, Dr Zarath, my room mate. You’ll meet her soon, En Ashlyn Trenton. She came from Challenger as well and I discovered last night that her…” she was trying to find the right words, “thought patterns were extremely disruptive and were preventing me from actually getting REM sleep. I don’t know if this was a one time or recurring incident. I know alpha inducers can’t be used long term. I would like to explore other options if there are any. I don’t want to change roommate, she knows about my own condition and we actually work well together.”
En. Fayth, Doctor

“Ah” The Doctor gestured for Fayth to hand him the Inducer so he could look at it. “REM sleep occurs at different points in the sleep cycle for different species, perhaps you two might try different bedtime schedules until you figure out the cycle. If Ensign Trenton’s REM cycle is opposite yours, the interference should affect you a lot less acutely.”
One of Tolar’s antennae twitched and turned itself slightly.

Ashlyn had arrived right behind Sharah and was waiting quietly for the Andorian Doctor a respectable amount of distance away so as to allow her Betazoid friend some privacy while she went through her check-ins. Unfortunately, the lack of others in the room didn’t help much for carrying voices and she did overhear a few things, nothing of importance though. She was concerned about the lack of sleep from the readings but otherwise was glad that she was in good health. Trenton tried to bury herself in her PaDD to continue reading over the Doctor’s information. Her own mind wandered, seeing the biobeds and wanting to vault over them in different ways to pass time and scratch that itch for parkour. The internal thoughts, dubbed the Conference of Trenton, were actively discussing the surfaces, access points, and equipment around the room as yet another obstacle to be leaped over, slid under, or otherwise bypassed in one of many ways to keep the momentum moving. She may look like she was being studious on that PaDD, but she was quite distracted. She’ll have to visit the holodeck later to run up Trenton Park later, she’ll need the time to get her head on straight.

When the doctors finished up with each other, Trenton readied herself with a casual neutral expression. The one she used for most anything professional related, the neutral mask was meant to hide as much of the tumultuous emotions in her head as possible. It helped that the Conference changed their focus of the conversation to details noticed about the doctor and his actions. The limp and the cane suggested an injury, but due to a lack of medical knowledge, Ashlyn couldn’t tell if it was new or old. She suspected old due to the practiced nature of his hands at the biobeds during Sharah’s Physical. “Good Morning Doctor, Ensign Ashlyn Trenton reporting for the onboarding physical.”

Security, USS Europa

The Andorian Doctor motioned for Ashlyn to join them at Sharah’s bio-bed. “Ensign Trenton, I presume… C’mon over, I think you can help us with a small problem.” Zarath’s gravelly voice boomed across the small sickbay.
