Posted by Captain Dante Knight (Commanding Officer) in Ready Room - Present Yourself Asimina

Dante stood at the window in the Captain’s office, watching the stars once again. At Warp, you couldn’t tell which was which, just streaks of light passing by left in the wake of the Saracens journey.

But, bringing himself freely his thoughts he tapped his comm badge, he had work to do.

=/\= Doctor Asimina, this is the Captain. Please present yourself to my Ready Room when you get a moment. =/\=

Captain Knight, CO

Hannah was in Sickbay, of course, when the summons came. Sickbay was packed, there had been a malfunction with an airlock. She looked around and then tapped her combadge. She spoke carefully to make sure she would be clearly understood. =^=Asimina here Captain. Are you in need of a doctor?=^= She assumed he’d just ask Dr Knight, but maybe he didn’t like mixing work and family. She continued treating a broken rib while Claire was giving hypos for oxygen deprivation.

OOC: Apologies for the wait, RL bites

OOC: No worries

IC: =/\= No Lieutenant, I’m quite healthy and fine thank you. I understand from the CMO’s report that the medical team are currently busy with injured crew at this point so continue what you are doing. When you finish up I would like you to present yourself to the Ready Room. Carry on Doctor. =/\=

Turning off the comm, Dante returned to his desk and continued with paperwork. He had plenty to do, he could wait.

=^=Yes Cpt.=^= Hannah moved on to the next patient, and the next. Nothing too horrible, they had all been lucky. A depressurized airlock was a nightmare, for them and for the medical team. Claire was super curious why the captain wanted to see one of the junior doctors, but she didn’t bother asking Hannah because Hannah wasn’t going to talk about it while they were working. Settling the last patient onto a biobed and activating the monitors Hannah made notes in his file and then handed the PaDD to Claire to input into the system. “Alright, I better go before I get into trouble.” Hannah had no idea why the captain would want to see her. Maybe it had to do with what Daniel was going to talk to him about? Or maybe that little mishap in the biomechanical lab when she short circuited and fused a joint on a prosthetic model she’d been working on? Surely not, it hadn’t even set the alarms off. She’d been on board awhile and had never met the man. Maybe he was curious. She contemplated the possibilities on the turbolift, but she was no telepath and the only thing to do was to go find out. The doors to the bridge swished open and she stepped off taking a look around, getting her bearings. So many people were always in awe of the bridge of a ship, Hannah, well she’d rather go see the medical facilities. She spotted the ready room door, walked over, and pressed the chime.

The door slid open instantly, without any seeming word from the Captain to enter. Through that door Dante was sitting at his desk looking at the door, clearly he had opened it. “Come in Doctor, take a seat please.” His head motioned to the seats in front of him and he smiled slightly before his eyes moved back to a PaDD.

“How goes the injured in sickbay? How bad did it hit?”

Captain Knight, CO

Hannah walked in, it wasn’t the first time she’d been in a captain’s ready room and took in the personality of the room. This was actually first time she’d spoken with the captain, and she was curious. She took the offered seat, not relaxed but the word would more be professional in her posture. “They will all be fine. No permanent injuries. From what the chief told me they were able to get the outer hatch closed before it opened more than a couple of centimeters. The temperature in the airlock didn’t drop so no hypothermia, and no signs of hypoxia, but those who were in the airlock will be staying in sickbay 24 hours just to make sure. Morback has some Barotrauma, the whites of his eyes and surrounding tissue are very red. He was right next to the hatch when it opened. He is receiving very slow treatments with the dermal regenerator to help and inside a low pressure field until his equilibrium balances out, but he will be fine. And a few bumps, bruises, torn tissues, and one broken rib where they were they were thrown against the bulk heads. They were all treated for minor oxygen deprivation. It could have been a lot worse.”

“Yes it could,” Dante agreed. “Rest assured that I will have Security, Intelligence and Engineering conduct a full investigation into how they, or someone, managed to bypass both Starfleet failsafe systems and our own Security systems, managing to open one of the airlocks placing them all at risk. There are few locations the systems could have been overridden but it had to have been locally, I’m confident that our investigation will uncover who.” Here he paused slightly and took a drink of coffee, then put it down and waved his hand as if batting that subject away. “As it is, thank you for your diligence. I have here in front of me a report of your efforts and accomplishments over the past months, you have done well and been a strong member of our medical staff. Doctor Knight speaks highly of you.”

Captain Knight, CO

Hannah paused before speaking, making sure she spoke clearly and didn’t garble anything with her accent. “My preliminary report has already been filed, the final will be ready after we clear everyone from sickbay.” As far as the rest of the investigation went, it was beyond Hannah’s purview, but they would have a complete medical report from her about it. She nodded once at his thanks, but Hannah never really knew how to respond to that. She was a doctor, it was who and what she was, she didn’t do it for accolades. “Of course, Sir.”

Oh, now wasn’t that a conundrum. She really liked Dr Knight and liked working for her and learning from her. She was the reason Hannah had accepted the transfer, but at the same time if she said so would that sound like she was kissing up to the captain by way of his wife? The situation almost tugged a grin from her. She reminded herself to keep her hands clasped in her lap so she wouldn’t start signing. “I’m glad you are both pleased with my work, Captain.”

“Oh believe me, I am more pleased than you can imagine,” Dante offered and at the same time, he did grin. “Because Doctor Knight is pleased, and if she wasn’t, I would be the first to know. I would know it at dinner, and during the evening movie, and during coffee and breakfast. But instead I know that she is pleased, so much so in fact that it is about time that your work and effort is formally recognized by the Command staff of this ship, Doctor.”

Hannah did grin slightly, she was very glad to know that she was not a topic of conversation that ruined the captain’s dinner or his movie, or god forbid before he had his morning coffee. No one should have their morning ruined before coffee.

Now, Dante’s official face replaced the grin and he took a small box out of the drawer beside him, then pushed himself to his feet. Walking around the side of the desk to Asiminia he opened the box and turned it to face her, inside was another solid coloured pip. “If you would care to stand, Lieutenant Junior Grade Asiminia, I should like to recognize your dedication to your duty and diligence shown these last months as a member of my crew.”

Captain Knight, CO

She looked at the box; she was surprised by the new shinny gold pip against black velvet. As she stood her hands moved slightly stating her surprise before she came to attention, not knowing how formal Cpt Knight expected his crew to be.
