Side Sim: Sickbay – Reporting for duty

Posted Feb. 13, 2023, 4:54 p.m. by Cadet Milan Ajani (Doctor) (Noel C)

There was a whooshing sound, the doors slid open, and a smile crossed his face. His eyes slowly drifted around the room drinking in the scene. State of the art biobeds were arranged along one bulkhead. An impressively stocked surgical suite was tucked into another alcove. And the soft, calming – to Milan at least – thrum of the medical monitors keeping track of someone’s vital signs wafted across the room at him. Milan was home.

Starfleet Academy was an impressive institution, and Milan was sure he might one day come to wax nostalgic about the great times he had while living in San Francisco, but he had long since had his fill of the place. He was a doctor. He had been one before joining the Academy and he had been one throughout the long and tedious months of non-medical training required for all officers of the fleet. It had been a chore and he had not particularly enjoyed it. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had gotten to use a medical tricorder, much less see a patient. But it was finally over, he was so close to the end he could sm—

“Are you going somewhere!” demanded a voice from behind him.

Milan snapped around to see a tiny Tellarite woman in medical blues supporting a large engineer at least twice her size. There was evidence of a plasma burn along one of his arms and he seemed to be suffering great pain, although mostly in silence. Milan barely had time to move out of the way as she barelled along towards the nearest biobed. He checked the PADD in his hand and took off after her. “Dr. Rahm Vesta?” he said hesitantly.

“Of course not,” she flung back. He felt more than saw the Tellarite roll her eyes. She bench pressed the engineer onto a biobed, then pointed to her left. “Check the office.”

Milan was about to ask if she needed any help with the plasma burns when the privacy forcefield snapped on. “Thanks…” he said to no one in particular, then he drifted over to the CMO’s office. He touched the call pad and waited to see if anyone would answer.
