Coming abroad- sickbay

Posted July 4, 2022, 4:58 p.m. by Ensign Simon Winter (Security Officer) (Michael Hacking)

Simon was looking down at his perfectly polished boots. He would be lying is he said he didn’t feel a little nervous. The truth was he had butterflies the size of dinner plates but he was hiding it well enough.

He had spent a number of hours polishing his boots the night before. They where new but cleaning them calmed his nerves when he couldn’t sleep. This was a big day for him. His first placement on a ship. He had of course reviewed everything he could on the ship but his command rating was a little above a civil. The Manhatten looked impressive from what he could find.

An alarm sounds over the shuttle intercom. ^Coming into dock on the Mannhatten. All those leaving the shuttle please make sure to take all your gear. I wouldn’t be coming back because you left your cookies.^ said a rather over excited pilot.

Simon looked at his single rucksack then glanced passed the man in a smart gray suit sat by the window to get his first looked of his new home. The files he had read had done little to get him ready for the view. The pilot banked the shuttle over to give the passengers a better look and to show off his skills.

The man sat next to him looked up from the device he was reading then noticed Simon looking over him and gave a smile. “It’s not a bad ship. My company supplies some of the advanced sensor gear on this class. Unfortunately I am not going to get a chance to view them this time. I have business elsewhere but I do evy you.”

Simon gave a small smile and a nod before checking his bag again.

The shuttle swung around and smoothly entered the shuttle bay and landed without so much as a bump. Simon smiled a little rembering some of the training flights he had been on. Cadet Brick came to mind. No matter how many times he tryed he would always slam the shuttle down to the annoyance of the engineering team who would always give a few harse words and some cold looks.

Simon waits in his seat till most of the other passengers have left them picks his bag up and heads out to be meet by a harassed looking Lt. “Bording pass and orders?” She asked in a sharp quick tone.

Simon gave a small smile as he handed her a padd. “Ensign Winters.....” he barely managed to say before the Lt cut him off.

“Oh great. Another one of Forgraves grunts. Your quarters are that way. Stow your gear then report to medical for you coming abroad exam.”

“Thank you Ma’am.” He replied but she had already moved onto someone else of more interest. Simon find his bunk and stored his bag in a locker assigned to him before he heads out. He will unpack on his off hours. Right now he wanted to get the formal stuff out the way.

He finds a nearby turbo lift and waits for it at arrive. He didn’t have long to wait. When the doors opened a young blue skinned woman in a science uniform almost walked into him while reading something. She looked up at Simon confused. “This isn’t science labs?”

Simon shakes his head. “No ma’am. It crew quarters.”

She gave him a cold look of annoyance. Then steps back into the lift. ^lab 5^ she said.

Simon steps into the lift. ^Medical^

The woman looked at him. “Your new I take it?”

Simon nods. “Does it show that much? Ma’am”

She gave a small smile. “We call it sick bay on a ship.” She them went back to her padd.

The lift doors open into a hallway and Simon steps out not sure which way to go. Glancing back the science office to see her point to the left as the doors shut.

Simon walks a few steps down the hallway and finds a set of double doors with the medical logo on them. He takes a breath to calm his nerves. Something about being scanned always unsettled him a little but he knew he was in good health. His final medical at the academy had come back clear.

He steps inside and takes a look around and waited to be noticed.
