“Very normal. Dull even.” It was clear if he knew that was rude, Lucas didn’t care. “Do you do anything for yourself? Anything original?”
-Dr Lucas Calvin
“I… crochet?” Adeline offered, a nervous tone creeping back into her voice. She wasn’t aware that being… normal… was a problem. “Is that what you mean?”
Dr. McGill
“Crochet? Now. Is that your definition of wild, or is there a little adventure in you? ‘Cause someone blew up the Asimov-C. We need the extraordinary. You’re a doctor? You have 30 seconds, patient collapses and loses lower gross motor function. Go.”
-Dr Lucas Calvin
“Wha… what?” Adeline questioned, her eyes widening even more at the unexpected quiz. “If you doubt my medical credentials, I graduated with reasonably good grades and I passed all of my practical examinations…” her voice trailed off again.
Dr. McGill
“You know the medicine. Can you use it under pressure? Someone can die if you freeze. Die. I want you to understand that. You, as a person, are perfectly sane. I just need to know if you can handle being a doctor. Can you?”
-Dr Lucas Calvin
Adeline looked momentarily confused at the question. “Of course I can,” she stammered in response and then took a visible deep breath to steady herself. Her blue eyes darkened slightly in annoyance. “It doesn’t seem like you’re particularly familiar with the medical curriculum at Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Medical.”
Dr. McGill
“Finally! Some bloody confidence!” Lucas stood up and rounded his desk. “Oi. You know what they didn’t give you at that stupid little Academy? A backbone. Stand up for yourself. There’s not always going to be someone there to protect you, describe just how sensitive Dr McGill is, but you should see her crochet. Come on! There’s more inside your head than crochet patterns and polite conversation. Let it bloody well out!”
-Dr Lucas Calvin
Adeline just stared at Calvin through his tirade, although curiosity reflected more on her features than fear or anything else. “Am I cleared for duty?” she finally asked, simply.
Dr. McGill
Lucas spun on his heels and walked back around his desk. “You’re fine. Get out.”
