Octavia was familiarising herself with the whole ship, something she wanted to do and agreed to do with the Captain given that she was going to spend the rest of her residency here studying and becoming a doctor. She hadn’t picked her specialisation yet and each department offered its own pros and cons. This journey delivered her to the Dental suite, she wasn’t looking for anyone in particular but she was looking to get her teeth checkup done and to find out information about dentists in general.

In the dental suite the reception hologram ALBERT was in full vigor talking to a teenage boy who looked roughly about 17, he wore black trousers, a vibrant purple hoodie and had electric blue hair. He seemed to be arguing about the black metal clip ring he wore with the hologram.

The teen Trill watched for a while, the boy looked about his age though his eccentric appearance called into question a few of his life choices, still she couldn’t help but see the appeal and she liked the electric blue hair even if it did clash with the purple hoodie. Octavia self consciously looked at her own apparel which was in the form of some black ripped jeans and a shirt that said: “Its a good day too…”. Her hair was down for a change and partially hid her face and he now fake glasses. Being joined came with the perk of gaining her eyesight back but the idea of not wearing glasses annoyed her so she had replicated some with glass lenses. The final article of clothing that finished her look was a light blue hoodie wrapped around her waist.

The receptionist itself appeared to be an older man with white hair and grey bushy sideburns. He had a face that always looked grumpy. And a cockney style accent. “Yeah well the mast…i mean the Dcotor won’t be able to see to you if you’re face is full of metal. Unatural things so take it off and sit down already your crowding up my reception desk.” he made an impatient wave of his hands then acknowledged Octavia.

“Excuse me sir,” She said with a cough her voice a little louder than she usually would raise it to gain his attention away from the boy, she had to agree with the unnatural comment, she couldn’t imagine having any piercing or tattoos especially since she already stood out enough with her spots.

“Yes my lovely, what can I help you with? Hav’ an appointment do ya?” he smiled.

“Urm no scheduled but I am due a check-up I’ve also just become a resident student here and was looking for some guidance in dental studies. I haven’t chosen a speciality yet and need to decide soon and figured where better to see what dentistry is like than the dentist” She gave a smile, trying to avoid eye contact with the boy. It was bad enough that she was dealing with becoming joined, she really didn’t need boy drama.

The boy scowled and turned to look at Octavia then slouched off to the waiting area nearby.

Giving him a sidewards glance she then looked to the older man. “Are you able to fit me in or should I come back again?” She looked over her shoulder again, “it seems you have your hands full already.” Octavia was hoping to be seen today, her time and options were running out and she needed to present the Captain with a short list of studies and while dentistry wasn’t going to be in the top 2 she was considering it as number 3.

The holographic receptionist smiled “oh yes we gave time to fit you in. Don’t you worry yer pretty head about that.” He gave a mild chuckle as if he found something funny, “ you just go on an’ Hav’ a seat my love. I’ll get the Mast…I mean the Doctor to see you soon.” He busied himself with his computer.

“Ermn, Thanks” She said a little nervous and wondered how many words started with Mast that the holographic receptionist was going to stay. Smiling anyway and turning to where she indicated she sat down, there was only one other person a boy about her age. who’s body language didn’t invite conversation, she starred for a moment and when he looked up she looked away.

At the waiting area, the boy turned to look at the newcomer again. “You new?” He asked eventually. A metal band ran around the middle of his teeth and he seemed grumpy by his body language and tone.

Octavia looked back to the boy, she made out the tell tale signs of braces something she was familiar with, she had braces when she was younger and now her teeth were all straight and where they should be. Running her tongue along them with her mouth closed she could feel the smoothness of their surface, “Yeah, well kind off I’ve been here a few weeks but just joined the crew because of… well yeah” She said biting the inside of her cheek nervously. Even from the seated position they were in she could tell he was taller than her, she wasn’t sure what it was about him but she found herself a little intimidated. “My names Octavia>” She said finally.

Cai pushed his hair out of his eyes and chewed his lip ring a moment. “I’m Cai. Nice to meet you. Don’t be scared of the dentist. Dr Black is nice enough. Just don’t stare at his face too long you’ll get freaked.” He said with a small smile.

Cai

“Its nice to meet you to Cai” She smiled wondering why she would be scared of the Dentist and then said as much. “Oh I’m not scared, I just never liked having someone prod and touch my mouth” She shrugged, “Whats wrong with his face?” She asked curiously, maybe he wasn’t human or had some sort of deformation either way Cai had peeked her interest.

Bumpy

He grinned again. “You’ll see.” Was all he said and see she would. Because at that moment an NE came running out of the detail office. Fleet out running. He stumbled over his own feet, caught himself and stumbled again. The holoreceptionist, cackling to himself got up and opened the door for him. Then the NE was gone.

The boy didn’t seem phased by this. A moment later a loonnng shadow appeared from the office in the wake of a towering seven foot figure in billowing hooded robe black as night. It wasn’t so much coloured darkly but as if light just could not penetrate its depths. On top of the robes a short sleeved teal medical tunic was squashed down so that the sleeves and bottom plumed out from under it. The figure had a pure white skeletal face under the robes with giant holes of darkness where the eye sockets were, inside a pinprick of bright blue like a star shone from the depths. It was difficult to look at the face as it grinned and yet, despite having no other facial expression did seem to look concerned.

It spoke, a sound like two tombstones rubbing together that didn’t move the creatures mouth at all. Indeed didn’t seem to have been heard by the ears but directed into the brains of anyone listening.

DEAR OH DEAR. he said ALL I SAID WAS I WOULD NEED TO SEE HIM AGAIN IN THREE WEEKS TO FINISH HIS TREATMENT. he turned his attention to the holoreceptionist IS IT MY FAULT HE REFUSES TO BRUSH BETWEEN MEALS his tone had risen slightly in obvious annoyance but was gone just as quickly leaving those present with a chill. ALBERT…SEND HIM AN APPOINTMENT MESSAGE PLEASE OTHERWISE HE WILL FIND ME IN A NOT SO PATIENT VEIN THE NEXT TIME.

“Yes master, of course.” The small holo man said with a bow and proceeded to the computer on his desk. “Other patients for you.” He added waving at the two younger ones.

The figure of Joe Black tilted its skull as it considered Cai and Octavia. CAI…WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK SO SOON.

The boy rolled his eyes. “You said I could get this stupid thing off in six days. Today’s day six.”

The figure shook its skull I SAID TREATMENT COULD BE SIX DAYS OR SIX WEEKS…ORTHODONTIA IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE RUSHED. WHY ONLY A FEW MILLENNIA AGO SUCH TREATMENT COULD HAVE TAKEN YEARS. I WOULD HAVE TO EXAMINE YOU AGAIN TO DETERMINE IF IT IS TIME YET BUT I SUSPECT NOT.

The boy glared. “It’s too tight.”

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE TIGHT. THAT IS THE POINT AFTER ALL. the annoyance was back.

However he looked at Octavia as the boy added “Yeah. Right. It’s fine I’ll wait. It’s not like I’ve got anything better to do today anyway. Octavia can go first.” He said nodding at her and turning his attention back to his PaDD

The figure waited watching Octavia with its grinning expression GOOD AFTERNOON I AM DOCTOR BLACK. HOW CAN I ASSIST YOU.

Cai and Dr Black
