Cherp’Eng cut a striking figure as he walked the corridors and took the turbolift from deck 5 to deck 12 for his boarding physical.
There were not many of his people in Starfleet, and he knew the looks he got were curiousity, not rudeness. He even smiled a bit when the odd child, accompanied by one or both parents looked at him and called his/her parents attention to the Avisarite.
“Shush, don’t point/That’s rude/Would you like it if people stared at you” all of that and more he was used to, but one little guy said, “can I touch its comb, can I dadda?”
Cherp’Eng smiled at father and son, and said, “of course he can, Lieutenant, we encourage our young to investigate their curiousity. I’ll bend down for him.”
Bending at the waist, Cherp’Eng lowered himself to such an extent the curious youngster could touch his comb.
Wincing slightly at a tug, Cherp’Eng said to the Lieutenant, “he’s got a good strong grip.”
“Sorry, Lieutenant,” the father said to Cherp’Eng.
“No problem,” Cherp’Eng replied, “my comb changes colour during the year by the way, it is blue/green now, but it goes purple and then by the end of the year it goes red/yellow. then it goes back through purple to blue/green again.”
“If you’ll excuse me, I have to see the doctors.” Cherp’Eng said politely and strode down the corridor towards the main sickbay.
Ducking slightly, he went through the sickbay doors as they opened, before returning to his full height once more.
“I’m Lieutenant JG Cherp’Eng,” he told a member of the medical staff, “here for my boarding medical. I trust the doctors know I physically can’t use a biobed and that won’t cause an issue.”
OOC: Cherp’Eng is an Avisarite, a custom species of my own devising and approved for use within STF. Basically think sentient ostriches. A link to the approved species sheet is on the character sheet for Cherp’Eng. However, both are linked below for ease of access/use by the lucky doctor who gets to look after Cherp’Eng
Character Sheet: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/character/551/
Species Template: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/command/gmd/notes/7191/
There are items for both medical and counselling in both the sheet and the template.
