The trip to get her to the Merrimack had taken several days and Elyss was tired. However, when she was transported to the actual ship from a passing shuttle, she felt excitement growing. The transporter operator greeted her and told her that a medical evaluation should be her first stop, so that was where she headed. Finding sickbay was easy but she had butterflies in her stomach as she crossed the threshold. It looked a lot like the medical bay of her last ship, the Ulysses. A few officers were there and she approached them. “Hi, I’m newly assigned and was told I need to be evaluated. Is there someone who can do that for me?”

The nursing officer spoke ‘’ Hi my name is Kate do please follow me ‘’ and with that she walked over to an empty biobed ‘’ The doctor will be with you soon just make yourself comfortable ‘’ and with that Kate hurriedly made her way to the CMO’s office , the door was hardly ever closed .Popping her head in she informed Cross of the new crew member who came in for her medical .

Making her way to were the allocated biobed the doctor smiled ‘’I’m doctor Cross and you are? ‘’ she said by way of introduction while extended a hand .Picking up the medical tricoder and attaching the diagnostic wand ‘’Just lay down this won’t take long but before I start is there any health issues that I should know about ?.

It took only a couple of minutes then the female doctor read the scan.

OOC: does the scan pick anything up?.

Cross CMO.

Elyss followed the medical officer and hopped up on the biobed she pointed out. Zavey got the chance to look around while waiting for the promised doctor. In no time, a female Lt was at her side introducing herself. “I’m Lt Elyss Zavey, a new transfer to science.” She took the offered hand and shook it before lying down as instructed. “I am in good health, doctor, as far as I know and the only complaint I have is that I suffer from the occasional migraine. I’ve been through a lot of testing because of them, but no one has found a direct reason for them.”

Cross read the scan ‘’ You’re in good health Lt Elyss and since you shall be in the science dept our paths will frequently cross ‘’ the female doctor put away the medical tricoder ‘’ Migraines are common ,how severe are they ? Nauseated, throw up ,need to lie in a quiet dark room ? We do have medication, unfortunately there is no cure ,have you by any chance find that the migraines come after consuming certain foods ,most common the culprits are cheese or chocolate ‘’.

‘’You are cleared for duty from the medical side and if you do suffer a migraine either come to sickbay or I’ll send someone to your quarters....any questions?’’ the CMO asked.

Cross CMO.

Because she’d suffered the disabling headaches for years, Elyss already knew the information Cross supplied. Did she have any questions for the doctor? “I’ve found that for me, a sedative is more likely to help than anything else–when I’m asleep, I can’t feel the pain and most painkillers I’ve tried don’t work very well for them.” Elyss slid off the bed and stood next to the CMO. “Thank you for your time, Lt. I need to report to my DH now.” With that eval out of the way, the young Lt left sickbay looking for the science department.

“I’ve found that for me, a sedative is more likely to help than anything else–when I’m asleep, I can’t feel the pain and most painkillers I’ve tried don’t work very well for them.”

‘’In that case I’ll give you a sedative but I would want you in sickbay just so we could keep an eye on you ‘’ Cross replied .

The female doctor watched the young woman leave ,her thoughts went back to when she was Elyss’s age ,remembering how she drove the Captain and Kord crazy with her antics and could not help but wonder how she had now mellowed down ‘’Maybe its the pregnancy or I’m getting older ‘’ she uttered to herself as the CMO made her way back to her office.

Cross CMO.

Cross was patiently waiting for Hunter to show up ,he had already made contact with the CMO promising to make his way to sickbay after getting something to eat . The female doctor ‘s inquisitive nature would surly bombard him on what went on down at the planet.

Cross CMO.

The nursing officer entered ‘’ Cross I’ve heard they are safely back from the planet ? ‘’ Kate asked more to confirm what she heard then anything else .
The CMO nodded ‘’ I have already heard from Hunter , he’s due to return to sickbay any time now , so we’ll get an idea of what happened soon enough ‘’.
