Sage hit her combadge. =/\=Cmdr Peturrson this is Dr Brennan. Would you please come to sickbay when you have a few minutes, please?=/\=

Emerald eyes looked up at her husband as she lowered her voice so only he could hear. “Okay. I’ll do what I can, Cal,.But you need to understand that the Cmdr has just as much to say about him and I being friends as I do.” Sage snapped a saucy wink at her handsome Captain then. “He might not care for me at all, you know?”

—Sage

Marius shook his head. “Impossible… no one doesn’t like you.” He didn’t want to be around when Perurrson arrived. He slid out the door as quickly as possible.

Marius

=^=No problem Doctor, I’ll be there within the hour=^= The response came quickly. About ten minutes later the First Officer arrived. He hadn’t spent much time in Sickbay since being assigned to the Genesis so he took a moment to look around before making his way to the Chief’s office. He knocked on the side a couple of times “I was summoned” He said with a smile.

Sage rose from the chair where she’d been sitting and smiled. “Well not exactly summoned. I did say ‘please’.” She walked around the desk, closing a bit of distance between them. “I thought it would be a good idea to examine you again. I like to keep a close watch on the command staff to avoid anything serious from happening. And whereas I can keep a specially observant eye on the Captain, that’s not so with you.”

They walked out into the bay together. “So, if you have no objection?”

—Sage

“No objections here, I’ve got a thing for health so the occasional Sickbay visit is all fine with me” He answered in his usual cheerful tone “Besides a chance to get to know any member of the crew better is something I’ll jump at”

Sage gestured to a biobed. “Why don’t you have a lie down right here then and we’ll get started?” As soon as the Cmdr was situated, she activated a full run of scans on him. It would only take a few minutes. “So what do you think of the Genny and her crew so far?”

The doctor stood next to the bed eyeing the readouts as each scan came in.

—Sage

The man did as he was told, raising an eyebrow at being asked to lie down but didn’t say anything about it “I like it, the crew has been very welcoming, although I’ll admit that it’s a little daunting working with a ship full of world-class scientists” He said with a grin “Still it’s nice to know that the Captain has a similar background, something to relate with I suppose.”

Sage nodded. There weren’t many on the Genny who could identify with all the Captain had been through in his career. She supposed it was good for both of the commanding officers to have certain things in common.

The readings came out almost exactly as before, besides some old scarring and signs of previous trauma consistent with a career as a Soldier. His glucose levels where slightly lower than average most likely due to not having eaten for some time. If anything the readings indicated a lack of regular eating patterns. On his left shin, a mid-sized bruise was forming.

XO

Once the scans had finished. “Alright, Cmdr, you can sit up now.”

Sage pushed a few buttons on the console relegating the results of all scans to the first officers medical record. “Everything looks in order, but you might want to put some effort into trying to eat at more regulated times. It will keep your blood sugar from dipping too low—which its doing right now.”

—Sage

When Magnus was seated he rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled “Right, of course. I occasionally forget to eat. I’d mostly gotten rid of the habit on Earth the past few years but Starship life has a way of creeping up on you” He stretched his arms and torso slightly “So am I otherwise fit for duty?” He asked with an amused grin.

XO

She was familiar with the problem. Sometimes Cal didn’t eat for six or eight hours when he was on bridge duty. “You know, the replicators can be programmed for a protein bar that you can slip into a pocket or a fold in your tunic. That way, you will always have a ‘pick me up’ no matter where you are. I suggest you at least try them out. Having your blood sugar peak and ebb can lead to unwanted weight gain.”

It was just an idea and Peturrson could take it or leave it, it was totally up to him. “You’re free to go. Thank you for coming by on such short notice thought. Oh, by the way, it might not be a bad idea if you and I were to get to know each other a little better. After all, we are the two closest people to Calvin so open communication between us is probably a good idea.”

—Sage

“Thank you for the advice I think I might try that” Magnus jumped out of the bed “I’d like that, Would you like to chat in your office” He indicated around the Sickbay “I think it might be better suited for such a conversation.” He said with a smile.

XO

She hadn’t expected him to take her up on the offer immediately, but Sage could roll with just about anything if there wasn’t an emergency happening—and there wasn’t. “Well, we could go in there or we could go to the lounge and have some lunch. Which do you prefer?”

—Sage

Magnus chuckled “You know I think lunch is a great idea, haven’t eaten anything since yesterday I think” He smiled and raised a hand to the door “shall we?”

XO

Sage stepped away from the Cmdr for a moment to let the staff know where she was going. Once that was done, she joined him again. “This is a good idea. I’ve decided I’m quite hungry.” Smiling, she and Peturrson left medical and headed for the lounge.

—Sage (we can start a new thread there or we can pretend we did :)
