Lieutenant JG Renaie Shortrith - Handing Over The Reins

[Renaie Shortrith]

((CMO's Office, Sickbay, Deck 10, USS Ronin))

Renaie exhaled slowly, sifting through paddwork. It was a duty that came with the privilege of being Acting Chief Medical Officer, or in other words, keeping Doctor Beck's seat warm for him.

He was due back soon, wasn't he?

What would Renaie do with themself now? Alyndra was the other medical officer, but now she was stationed on the Farm. Division 14 had its way for the second time, there, after they'd already offered Doctor Beck the position on Earth.

That only left Renaie, who served for four months as a Medical Officer on the Astraeus, and then another five as an Assistant Counsellor on their current ship.

Would they go back to a Counsellor, or dabble in Medical once again?

When they got asked to be ACMO, they honestly stopped for a solid five minutes processing the request.

They said yes, obviously. Who wouldn't?

Anyone would, surely.

If Renaie was honest, they wanted to keep being CMO. Whether they would say that aloud was another matter entirely.

Doctor Beck had earned the full-time role, and Renaie knew that he probably deserved it more than they did.

oO I'll just see what happens, I suppose. Oo

As they heard familiar footsteps echo through sickbay, Renaie turned the screen of the current working PADD off to see who was entering.

A small welcoming smile crossed their face as they noticed the footsteps to be Doctor Beck's. Rising from their seat, they drifted towards the doorway of their office to greet him.

Shortrith: ::Smiling warmly:: Welcome back, Doctor. I believe the seat in there ::they gestured into the CMO's office:: is yours.

Beck: Response

Shortrith: I trust your work with Division 14 went well?

Beck: Response

Renaie let out a small chuckle before turning their face serious.

Shortrith: Nobody exploded, fortunately. We had a couple of casualties, however, who passed from radiation poisoning. They were workers at a Sencha Radiation facility that turned out to be controlled by the Lattice Alliance. We'll need to keep an eye on some people on the ship, especially for side-effects of radiation and de-aging.

Beck: Response
