“House Call”
((Chief Medical Officer’s Office, Deck Five, USS Octavia E. Butler))
The cool light of the ship’s sickbay seems serene after the chaotic events of his arrival. Their arrival in the orbit of New Bajor had allowed the refugees to be placed somewhere more like a home and afforded the crew of the Otavia E. Butler some much-needed space to recover.
He knew that feeling only too well. He did wish to visit the colony himself as, by origin, he was an off-worlder too. Terra Nova had its past but nothing compared to New Bajor. He knew that the Dominion had wiped out the original population and now a new wave of colonists had settled there to reclaim and regrow their lives.
He could relate to that.
Dressed in his duty uniform he scanned the room looking for the first of his gatekeepers. It didn’t take him long to spot the Human/Klingon hybrid. Maybe she was waiting for him too? He was more than familiar with medical staff but this was likely to be a new experience for her.
Xaivis: Doctor Toz?
Toz: Response
Xaivis: That’s correct, Second Lieutenant Jacen Xaivis…here for my service clearance medical.
She clearly knew that already – it was Command who’d made the appointment after all....and the appointment was likely to take a while.
Toz: Response
Xaivis: Thank you, Doctor – please, lead the way.
Toz: Response
