Lt JG Alyndra Syrex - All Aboard

[Alyndrasyrex]

(( Holodeck 2, Deck 2, USS Artemis-A ))

MacKenzie: Well, doctor, it appears you know your stuff, and you’re willing to make tough calls.

Syrex: You know, for a second there, I had completely forgotten it was all a simulation- That none of it was real.

Alyndra sighed defeatedly, slapping her knees and getting up from the floor.

MacKenzie: You don’t say?

Syrex: But I have a feeling you suspected that. Do you usually bring people in here?

MacKenzie: You mean, is this my typical way of welcoming new crew members aboard? No, not usually.

Alyndra squinted curiously at MacKenzie.

Syrex: Why me? I’m sure you don’t show this to all your new doctors, temporary or otherwise.

 

Captain MacKenzie opened her arms outwardly, gesturing to the black and gold panelling of the holodeck.

MacKenzie: You said you wanted to learn, did you not?

 

Alyndra turned to her, smirking.

Syrex: Careful what you wish for.

 

MacKenzie looked back at her, looking as stern as ever, shrugging her shoulders. Alyndra felt that there was something on the captain’s mind she wasn’t telling her, for better or worse.

MacKenzie: The Artemis has a lot to teach you… if you’re listening.

Syrex: ::Smiling:: let me be your brand new toy. The games you have me play along the way will hopefully teach me a thing or two – Metaphorical games that is!

MacKenzie: I’m sure you will, Doctor Syrex. (beat) Doctor Adea can be a bit of a curmudgeon sometimes. Don’t take it personally.

Alyndra raised her eyebrow, asking herself what exactly a curmudgeon was, before something, not comprehending what, clicked in her mind.

Looking back at the captain’s face, she seemed to become more stern, more confident in herself as the conversation continued.

MacKenzie: And I am absolutely a curmudgeon, and you probably should take it personally.

Alyndra cracked a small smile.

Syrex: Noted. Is there anything else I should know?

 

Unexpectedly, the captain’s face softened, had the stern forewarning not happened at all. Alyndra received a small, yet respectful nod.

MacKenzie: Welcome aboard, Doctor Syrex.

Alyndra’s slight smile turned to a larger grin.

Syrex: Thank you, captain, it’s a pleasure to be here.
