Cmdr. Genkos Adea - What Kind of Airlockery is This?

[Genkos Adea]

((Sickbay - Deck 7 - USS Artemis-A))

Genkos’ tricorder beeped as it finished the scan of Zoyara’s cranium, and he started to move the doohickey down the Bajoran’s body, scanning her vital signs and comparing them to Dr Beck’s baselines from the Ronin. 

Adea: So far, so good. ::his brow furrowed a moment:: Your heart rate is a little high; does sickbay make you nervous, Lieutenant?

Vailani: :: immediate :: No. 

His furrowed brow momentarily disappeared, replaced with a cocked eyebrow. 

Adea: You want to try that again?

Vailani: I just feel a little out of my comfort zone, that's all :: reluctantly :: I don't really like Sickbay, I never have. No offense. 

Genkos smiled softly, and nodded once. It was not an unusual reaction, and one he’d personally encountered many, many times. From the vague reluctance of Admiral Reynolds (there were always more pressing demands on her time) to the outright fear from several Ensigns, he’d encountered practically every form of Sickbay Discomfort™ out there.

Adea: None taken, Lieutenant. 

Vailani: It just reminds me of very bad times but it's not like I'm running to the nearest airlock, I can handle a little trepidation, Doctor. 

Genkos’ soft smile broadened slightly as he nodded; it was a good point. Perhaps he was just sensitive to this sort of thing as a Betazoid, or perhaps he could sometimes take things a little more personally than they were intended; either way, it wasn’t personal.

Adea: That’s a fair point; ::he pursed his lips in a wry expression of amusement:: and if the Captain doesn’t like you, I’m sure you’ll find your way to the airlock soon enough.

Vailani: Response

Adea: Honestly, one bizarre malfunction and a whole host of rumours get started.

Vailani: Response

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
