JP: Lt Cmdr Addison MacKenzie, Lt Quen Deena, Lt JG Alieth, Lt JG Sirok - The Broken Vulcan, Part 1
Sirok son of S'Vek
((USS Thor, Main Sickbay, Deck 10))
For most of his teammates on the Thor, they were on a well-deserved Shore Leave. For the chief engineer, it was continuous work. The DS9 team was working hard, and several of Thor's engineers were supporting them even though Sirok was trying to get them to do what he wasn't doing, which was resting.
At that time a lot of systems were being repaired. And to relieve DS9, they started using Thor's, while testing the repairs themselves.
Technically, Deena was off-duty.
Actually, she was engaged in what Nurse Rumboldt termed “glorified babysitting” - as the obligatory member of medical staff who was supposed to be present while the Engineering and Ops teams essentially rebuilt three-quarters of Sickbay. Most of the work done less than three weeks ago had been completely undone by their encounter with the mine. In theory, she was overseeing equipment calibrations and inventory replenishment. In reality, that had quickly turned into a very long shift wherein all inventory that currently could be done was completed in less than an hour. Then, about three hours later, finishing out the install and calibration sequences on the one biobed currently finished. And now, another four hours later, Deena had built herself something of a desk and chair out of cargo containers and was very, very close to beating a puzzle game on her PADD...
Hearing the door swish open, Deena quickly flipped her PADD face-down on the “desk” and looked up to meet the visitor. If anyone asked, she was totally paying attention this whole time. Yup. Definitely.
He walked into the infirmary with a tool kit in one hand and a padd in the other. It contained the order for work and maintenance of the medical equipment. He waited for a moment by the door, standing hieratically.
Sirok: Good morning, doctor. I am here to check and reconnect your equipment. And if it is possible to get my medical checkup. ::If it weren't for his first statement, it would seem that Engineering was sending their new android::
Quen: ::looking around:: Well, if we weren’t having problems before, I’d say we are now.
She laughed a little, mostly to fill the silence.
Quen: Well - I’ve got one functioning biobed, and ::checking her chronometer:: it’s about time to check in with the teams. Where would you rather start?
Sirok: If you want we can start with my exam. Then I can do the installation and calibrations.
Deena nodded and gestured behind her with an open hand.
Quen: All right - after you.
The path through the room was obvious - a meter-ish wide swath cutting clean through the forest of dismantled equipment. Following behind the Vulcan, Deena briefly stepped off the path and over a biobed frame to grab a tricorder and a spare PADD from a storage crate on the ground.
Sirok went where she indicated, to what seemed to be the only active bio-bed. He left the tool case on the foot of one of the non-active biobeds, and on it the padd. So as not to disturb the movements of the medical team.
Sirok: This malfunction is... particular. ::It seemed too soon to him to say, but on the first observation he would say that that bed had been sabotaged, seemed to have nothing to do with what had happened in the incident. When he made a correct diagnosis he would assure the medical team.::
Quen: ::through her teeth:: That’s one word for it...
Sirok approached the bio-bed, awaiting Doctor's orders. Despite a few medical checkups during the academy, and many more in his youth. He discovered that each doctor had their own protocol and order when performing them. And the Vulcan only wanted to make it easier for another crewmember.
Quen: I don’t believe you’ve been in since… ::she paused, wracking her brain for the last time she actually saw Sirok in here:: ...since we left Duronis II. When was your last physical?
Sirok: I was treated in engineering for a hit in the face, during the incident. And I have been very busy since we left the embassy. Given the circumstances, Thor has required a lot more work than usual since we left the embassy. For this reason my last checkup was at the academy. But I will try not to let it happen again. ::Sirok knew that many officers would do anything to avoid medical checks. In his case it was not intentional, he did not expect to have so much responsibility at such an early stage in his career. He still had to adjust to those circumstances.::
Quen: ::nodding:: Any changes since then?
Sirok: After the mission in Vel Maijan and for the reconstruction of the ship I have had a greater workload than expected, but it was solved with some more rest and meditation.
She raised an eyebrow at his rather… opaque reply.
Quen: Would you care to elaborate?
Sirok: Longer than usual work sessions, but within the parameters recommended for my physiology. Instead of maintaining one ship, we had to rebuild it twice. ::In a much more literal way the second time.::
Quen: Well - it seems you're due for a routine neural scan anyway, if you'll just…
She trailed off, letting her hand gesture complete her request that he situate himself on the biobed.
