Having finished with the captain Theodore made his way next to his quarters to drop off his scant belongings then towards Sickbay. He entered quietly and stood for a moment watching the comings and goings of those on duty. It had been a long time since he had been in a starships sickbay, he could remember back to the first one onboard the Phoenix. That seemed so long ago now…a different life time ago almost.Patiently he waited for someone to acknowledge him.
Knox
The first people to acknowledge Doctor Knox were the on duty nurses who were all standing against the wall in their heavy lab coats and ridiculous looking goggles. Not one of them was doing a thing except making sure to stay out of the way of the one that was actually working in the Sickbay labs, Doctor Fey, and Doctor Fey, and Doctor Fey, and Doctor Fey, and Doctor- it was clear that something strange was going on for there were no less than ten of the same person working with keen precision around the sickbay. “Sorry Sir, we tried to let her know you were on the way, but the Doctor is…well occupied.” The human nurse, Chief Hammonds, was the recorded head nurse for the ship and a a few lower ranked nurses that were supposed to be helping off to the side to stay out of the Outgoing CMO’s way.
- Doctor Fey is busy, have some Chief Hammond instead.
Is that not one of the most interesting things we’ve ever seen., perhaps we will get to dissect one.... The voice inside his head asked as he watched the woman and her doppelganger’s work.
”Indeed.” Theodore said out loud. ”Well not to worry, I didn’t call down to alert anyone of my arrival so my fault and my apologies.” he said smoothly and seemed content to stand and watch a while.
Some minutes later he asked Hammonds. ”Which is the Prime Doctor as it were?”
Dr Knox
Chief Hammond let out an audible sigh, clearly having expected the question but not having an answer. “Ethically, they are all prime and we should refer to them as such. The only way to identify the original is by getting them to honestly admit which one randomly appeared in someone’s bathroom. Apparently, the anomaly that affected the good Doctor has turned her into a bit of an urban legend. According to our rumor mill, if you say her name three times in a mirror and turn out the lights when you turn them back on she’ll be standing there. It was originally some joke and the Doctor believed she was being teleported at random, the ‘prime’ Doctor moves on with her day completely unaware that something has happened. The ‘new’ Doctor, however, has the memory of randomly appearing in someone’s room in the middle of whatever she was doing. Out of survival, we believe, they stopped talking about which one was the primary. There is a good chance that the original isn’t even in this room.”
Not long after Chief Hammond’s explanation, one of the Doctors walked over with a radiation scanner. “This is how you tell.” The doctor’s voice feminine but horribly scratchy due to damage to the vocal cords. “I was saturated with Detronom Radiation in my fetal development stages, the others don’t have that radiation signature on the scan.” The Doctor offered her hand to the new Doctor, her palm being the size of an average female though her fingers are unusually long. The effects of the radiation were pretty clear, calcified growth resulting in a skeletal structure that clearly didn’t match with the growth and development of her body. This gave her body a sharply angular look with limbs far too long for normal. “Welcome Doctor Knox, I apologize for the mess we seemed to have created that pulled you away from your experiments to this high-security zoo.”
