Aware that the Wolverine has a smaller sickbay than some, “Morning Bright” pauses and chose to key the door chime instead of simply entering. This was a workspace after all, and his size made it difficult to ‘stay out of the way’.

Lily heard the chime on the door and looked up. With a grin she motioned to the door setting off the pneumatic sensor so that it swished open. “Is this a reverse house call,” she laughed motioning for the science officer to enter.

“I’m doctor Locksley but you can call me Lily. Nice to meet you,” she extended her hand. “Are you here for your check in?”

Ducking threw the doorway as with a practiced flick of the tail, “Morning Bright” eyed the Doctor a moment before nodding in greeting. “I suppose it is, Doctor. A pleasure to meat you.” Eyeing the Ensin side long before taking the offered hand. Being carful of the claws his three fingered hand almost twice the size of the woman’s.

“Nice grip there,” Lily smiled shaking his hand. While she did not fear him, Lily could not help but let her mind wander to his hand. The grip and nails of his hand could rip her to shreds before she could react. Evolutionary biology was fascinating. How one race developed through the eons was rarely like any other race however, they all had one thing in common. The desire to explore and learn about the universe they shared.

Keeping his head low, slightly lower than his hips accentuated his length but he did not tower over the slight medical officer. “It was my hope to get my medical clearance, M’am, but I will gladly make an appointment if you are busy.”

“Nope I am free. Come on,” she waved him over to a bed with a swish of her hand.

As an artifact of how he mimicked human speech, his voice always had a deliberate and dignified quality to it. Tho some found the kinesthetic effect of the deep base notes unsettling.

Lily wasn’t sure if he could sit on the bed comfortably. She would let him make that choice. It didn’t matter right now any way. “So your name is Morning Bright,” Lily asked almost rhetorically. “Its a cool name. Does your race give everyone such poetic names or were you just lucky,” Lily made small conversation as she scanned th ensign.

“Morning Bright” eyed the Bio bed with trepidation, of all the things designed for humanoids these gave him pause. He exceeded the safe loading for the device but as they were designed with a three to one safety margin his experience was it would support him. So with deliberate movements he straddle the bio bed and laid his chest on the device with The rest of him hanging over in a most undignified manner. The bio bed groaned in protest as it took his weight. “Not I am afraid designed with me in mind, Doctor”

Lily eyed the bed and let out a small wisp of breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. This was definitely something engineering would need to look into. In the middle of a medical emergence was not the time to worry about the bed collapsing.

Once settled, the subject of his name could be addressed, “ “Morning Bright” is the direct translation from the universal translator. During my prior service there was much amusement among my squad mates when the discovered that ‘Dawn’ was a more accurate translation.” To demonstrate he spoke his own dialect, “ Tc Tc Tau Grune” came out not only rather loud, but in a deep throbbing voice, followed buy the canned response from the com badges =^= morning bright=^=. Gnalish sounds rather like the languages of large terrestrial cetaceans, particularly underwater.

“So why didn’t you go with Don as in Donald or do you like Morning Bright,” she asked starting her scan. “Don’t get me wrong I like your name. It sounds poetic and original,” she smiled at the device began to produce the readings. It would take a second for the device to cross match Morning Dawn’s reading with that of his species.

“Originally it’s what the recruiter wrote down, but as it sounded more like a human sir name it seemed appropriate. Now it is comforting, as it signifies to me my service to the federation. “

“Looking at the initial readings, Lily got a wrinkle between her eyes processing parts of the information. “Is your species also aquatic?”

Ensign Lily Locksley

“Yes, we are equally at home in the water.” Tho the lack of blubber made it obvious that Gnal evolved in tropical or subtropical climate, the mass of the largest genotype extended that range into temperate climates, at least part of the year. Other organs were adapted to an aquatic environment, those structurally similar to kidneys showed an adaption to dealing with salt water, tho not to the extent of a marine mammal, but a brackish environment would be tolerable.

Evolution was an elegant mistress, despite evolving from scratch on different worlds, life tended to find the same solutions to survive and reproduce.

Looking over her scans, Lily glanced at the tricorder and then back to Morning Bright. “So your readings appear to be within limits for your species. Unless you have any concerns, I am at the point of saying Welcome to the Wolverine,” Lily signed her name to the document waiting to hit submit. “Oh but before you go,” she fished around in her pocket. “Lemon, Cherry, or grape,” she held up three lollipops. “I know, I know that this is something people tend to only do with kids but who doesn’t like a surprise even if it is a small one.” Lily waited for him to choose which confection he wanted. If he didn’t she wouldn’t take offense. Some people liked it and others seemed to feel like it was as stupid since they were adults. Either way, Lily always offered it as a fun way to break the ice.

Once clear of the bio-bed, “Morning Bright” paused a moment in surprise. what are these? he wondered. Turning his head sidelong the large pupil dilated and then constructed back to the slitted golden eye. As realization that she was offering him a confection as one would offer a treat to a hatchling he ‘smiled’ tho not the toothy grin of a humanoid but the darkening to emerald green if his head and the easing of his creat. Hunching over and Turing his head to gain binocular vision he delicately reached out with his thumb and middle finger and plucked the cherry confection with the pads under the upturned claws. They reminded one of a cats but were not sheathed. “Thank you” he said accompanied buy a subsonic vibration emanating from his body. He resisted the urge to extend his snout and nuzzle the Doctor.

It was only a moments work to free the confection from its wrapper and then opening his mouth exposing his serrated and leaf shaped teeth he placed the candy between two on the left side of his mouth and looked comically pleased with him self as the white stick stuck out of his scaly lips.

The stem of the sucker only illustrated the fact his lips didn’t move as he spoke. “ Tho I hope not to see you professionally Doctor, I do hope to see you again socially.”
