Mara made her way to the sickbay, a sort of confident stride to her. Her red hair had been tied up in a neat bun, she made sure to pat down her uniform to avoid looking scruffier than usual. Cadet Mara Oxton walked into the sickbay and spoke “I was asked to come here for my boarding medical examination?”

OOC: Welcome aboard, Ellie! This is a great first post! :)

At the sound of Oxton’s voice, a tall Trill looked up from her work at a station near the door. A welcoming smile spread across the woman’s face as she walked a few steps closer and said, “Welcome on the Challenger! I’m Ensign Yaba Priel, one of the medical technicians on board. I hope you had a safe trip here? What is your name?”

~NE Priel, medical technician

With a smile on her face she nodded,
“Yes, the trip was quite interesting”
She paused for a moment, then answered
“Mara Oxton ma’am”
Mara looked around the room, still quite unfamiliar with the ship and the ways of the crew, she was never quite sure on how to communicate with everyone.

“No need to call me ma’am, Cadet,” NE Priel replied with a good-natured chuckle. “Why don’t you have a seat on one of the biobeds while I fetch one of the doctors to take care of your medical evaluation? Or do you have any questions beforehand?”

~NE Priel, medical technician

She shook her head and sat down on a biobed,
“No questions I can think of!”
She was a short-ish woman with hair that looked like fire and a sunset mixed together, and eyes which looked oddly like a forest. The scar just above her eye which went through her eyebrow let the beauty of her countenance down a little, though the story of the scar was sentimental to her, and so it didn’t bother her that it was there. Instead, Mara looked at the scar with happiness, and just a slight bit of sadness over the sister she had left back at home.

“Good,” NE Priel replied with a smile before turning on her heel. Looking around the room she assessed the situation to figure out who seemed the least busy right now. Lieutenant Tija was in her office, so she wasn’t an option and everyone else seemed equally busy. So she decided to ask Cadet Mika, who just happened to be the closest person. Approaching her, she said, “Cadet, could you take care of the boarding evaluation for Cadet Oxton?”

~NE Priel, medical technician

“Of course,” Mika replied to Ensign Priel, turning around to face Cadet Oxton. Mika had previously been rushing about the Sickbay, like every doctor seemed to be right now, and so she was already carrying a PaDD. “You can take a seat on a biobed and I’ll get you on your way, okay?” She said to the new Cadet. “I’m Cadet Mika, by the way, nice to meet you!”

~ Cadet Tandra Mika, Doctor

Mara nodded and sat on one of the biobeds, the one closest to where Mika was standing.
“You’re a cadet too!”
It was clear that Mara was excited with Mika being another cadet, she was always open to making new friends.
“Cadet Oxton”
She smiled then extended an arm to shake Mika’s hand
“Mara Oxton!”

~ Cadet Mara Oxton {Engineer}

Cadet Mika took Oxton’s hand and shook it. “Yeah, I am! And welcome aboard!” Then, she turned just a bit serious, and said, “Right, down to business. Is there anything I’d need to know for your file, that wouldn’t already be here? We’re talking like, illnesses or trips out of the Federation, or changes in diet or sleep. You know,” She said, and then smiled. Since doing so many boarding physicals, Mika had seen quite a few nervous Cadets, and seeing Mara relax after finding out Mika was a Cadet as well, made Mika happy.

Mara though for a brief moment, she did have troubles sleeping… But was it even worth mentioning?

“Well… I do struggle to sleep sometimes, often waking up once or twice in the middle of the night, but I’ve been doing it occasionally since I was young! My brain is always working really hard, and never really wants to stop”

Would anyone think of her differently… Was she incapable of doing her job right if she couldn’t sleep properly? The cadet couldn’t help but worry, and overthink the situation.

~ Cadet Mara Oxton {Engineer}

Mika gave her a friendly smile. “Everyone has trouble with sleep occasionally, but if you ever find it affecting you, you can come back and see what can be done about it. And for a friendly suggestion, you might try meditation. Certainly helps me quiet my mind,” Mika told her. Picking up the tricorder, she said, “Alright, last step. I’ll just scan you and make sure everything still looks good, and then you’ll be on your way.” By now, Mika had gone full polite customer service voice while she was working. She had mastered it in her youth, working at her parents’ shop. After all, being a doctor was just as much a customer service position as being a cashier, or a receptionist, or anything else.

She smiled and nodded, swinging her legs slightly. Mara was used to being patient, quiet, anything to avoid her father’s short-tempered nature. He was a good man, an honest and hard working man… But he had a relentless temper that was hard to calm down, and Mara was used to tip-toeing around his moods. She had since mastered the arts of avoiding conflict and staying quiet.

~ Cadet Mara Oxton {Engineer}

OOC: So, you’ll say what the tricorder says about your character here :)

IC:
Mika began scanning the other Cadet, moving the little scanner piece of the tricorder down her body from head to toes, close to but not quite touching her. As she did, she watched the tricorder’s screen.
