That was convenient, Dradvia thought as she stepped into sickbay. All three of her onboarding checks were in one place. Her DH, Lt. Dr Tealor Tessan, was also the head doctor and the CNS. Well at least she wouldn’t be wasting time and could maybe get right to work. Anything to keep her mind busy. She stopped just far enough inside to let the doors close and looked around. She knew the CMO’s office was on the other side of medical storage and labs, but that didn’t mean he was in the office instead of out here.

The doors to the chief medicals office swished open as Tealor took a couple long strides into the medical reception area. Briefly he looked around the room as if trying to locate something or some one, his black eyes locking with Ens. Dradvia for a moment. A wide warm smile escaped the corners of his mouth as he moved to her locations. He looked down at her extending his hand. “Ens.Dradvia, It is nice to meet you, I’m Dr Tessan” he said glanced over her physique, she looked healthy enough given her age that was not suprising.

He was almost a foot taller than her. Dradvia had to take a half step back so she didn’t have to crane her neck so much. She took his hand and shook it, “Dr. Tessan, it’s nice to meet you Sir.” The way he appraised her physically caused nerves to jump and alert. She reminded herself again, she was on a Star Fleet vessel. “I just arrived and wanted to report.”

He gave her a knowing smile. “Well at least you’ll get all your appoitments out of the way in one sitting,” he said.

Tealor motioned toward a bio bed steping past her and patting the top of it, “Lets have a look at you then,” he said. “How have you been feeling lately?” he asked as he looked through her medical record.

Dradvia pressed her palms flat on the edge of the biobed and lifted herself up. She scooted back, sitting straight, legs dangling, hands in her lap. “Fine, Sir. No problems or signs of illness.”

Her record showed that she had a very healthy childhood until she was 14. Normal growth and weight, hit all her milestones as a baby and toddler. There was no family medical history, her parents were unknown. At 16 she was found on a slaver ship. A quick glance of the documented condition of the young girl was enough to know she had suffered a great deal and had spent two years on that ship. She was treated on the Star Fleet vessel that rescued her and spent weeks in sickbay recovering. She even underwent some surgery and physical therapy after. Other than that she has been very healthy ever since.

Tealor’s black eyes worked back and forth as he read the information, the scans seemed to reflect the information. No need to dwell on her obvious hard past that would come up in sessions if it needed to. “Do you have any needs I should know about, your sleeping ok? things of that nature?” he asked in an attempt to finish up her chart

“I guess so.” She shrugged awkwardly. It didn’t do any good to lie to the man. He was her boss. “I was fine at the Academy, but, umm,” she rubbed her arms briskly. “I can’t sleep. Well I can, sort of. But every time the engines change it wakes me up.” It woke her up in a panic at best, or entered her REM sleep and gave her nightmares.

Looking at her he expression soffened. “It’s not uncommon Ensign new place new sounds,” he said placing the hand scanner back down on the table. “Have you tried sleeping with some earplugs?” he asked. He was more appt to use natural means to fix a problem before moving to drugs.

“It’s not that, exactly.” She blew out a breath. He was the CNS too. She’d read that. She might as well rip the bandaid off. “It reminds me of the slaver ship.” She looked at her hands rather than him. It was easier to talk about it that way for her. “Not knowing where we were going or what would happen when we arrived. It… it still gives me nightmares.”

It made a lot of sense, being treated that way would most certainly leave scars, “Dradvia,” his voice was soft and filled with empathy. He did not want to assume anything that she may have experienced during that time. “I am a powerful telepath, but I will never access your mind or your emotions without your consent, though if I’m stressed I will ready peoples emotions by accident. I can provide you with a sleep aide if you think that would help you” he noted.. “But I would also like to help you deal with that past if you would allow me” he said bringing himself eye level with her.

She met his gaze. If anything, it was clear the young woman had grit. “You don’t have to explain Dr. Tessan. Your telepathy is part of who you are. For you it is as natural as a sense of smell.”

He smiled warmly his brow soft and inviting. “I certainly apricate that, however I prefer not to use it in situations like these , I would rather get to no you organically. ” he noted. “Unless you want me too of course”.

Drasvia shook her head, “I would rather not subject anyone else to the memories of what I went through.”

Giving a rather thankful nod Tealor put the tricorder down on the table next to him. “While I appreciate that I can shield my self from actually experiencing it, it’s more like watching a movie.” he noted. “Still watching a fellow shipmate go through such things would not be my first choice” he said looking back to her. “Have you been going to counseling” he asked.

“I’ve been in therapy since the Venture rescued us. I attended sessions at the Academy. I was doing okay until I left to come here.” Dradvia blew out a long breath. “I would rather not take medication. They drugged and sedated us anytime they moved us on and off the ship.”

He gave here a nod, “Well I can see how that would be uncomfortable then.” he said looking through some notes “There are some more traditional methods, get some heavy exercise a few hours before bed, and a bit of tea or warm milk, maybe some melatonin before you go to sleep” he noted. “But all that said, what do you feel might help with the nightmares.” he said and regretted it the moment it came out. He hated the “Feel” questions it always felt like avoidance to him or probing, tip toeing around rather than just getting to the point.

“I don’t have trouble falling asleep. It’s just, I guess I’m hyper aware of the ship’s vibration and movement.” Dradvia thought about it. “Time I think is the only thing. I know I’m not being hauled off to… to unknown horrors. My body just doesn’t know it yet. This… this is the first time I’ve been on a ship since Venture took us to Earth. I did some shuttle training, but it was all within the Sol system.”

“I should think that your body will adapt quickly, but if it does not we can figure something out together” he said. “how often would you like to meet, we really should keep up on your sessions. ” he said looking over his calendar.
