Checking in

Striding smartly down the main corridor the Andorian made her way straight to main sick bay, stopping only periodically to check her directions with the ships computer.

Although one might not be able to tell from her outer expression, she was nearly overwhelmed by the sheer size of the vessel.

As she entered the area she tuned to the first person she encountered, a young human male wearing the orange/gold of the technical field.

"Excuse me Lieutenant, is the chief medical officer available? I need to report in" Her tone was vary professional.

The young man hopped up, his features were vary slick, perhaps even suave. "Yes.. and yes, but at the same time no, not really" He smiled at his own cleverness.

Her right eye narrowed just a little, she wasn't sure how to take his response. Was he trying to be cute or just annoying.

"What.." she started but changed her mind, she wasn't going to play into his game. "So witch way is the doctor then?" she said looking around.

He pointed to the right "Head that way and keep to the right, you'll find them in their office.. I think anyway." He kind of shrugged.

She noted he said 'them' but she wasn't going ask what he meant and started to walk in the direction he had indicated. "Thank you Lieutenant"

But he finished the sentence for her "..Moore, Robert. Assistant chief flight control officer extraordinaire" he said it with a flourish. "And you are?"

The brashness of the man was almost overbearing, "Doctor Shree, councilor. And I have a feeling you and I will be talking more in the near future"

He took a step back as if he suddenly decided more space between them might be a good idea. "Oh.. well, I'd best let you get back to it then." almost backing into the wall as he did so.

Shree shook her head and went on her way until she came to the main office, and hit the chime.

“Come... in,” came the reply from inside the room, with a halted manner. Even through the door, the Andorian's keen senses were able to detect the exact orientation of each word and it seemed that they came from two sources, causing her antenna to wave slightly in both directions that the sounds originated from. This served to confuse her even more until the door swooshed open to reveal the sight of the office within.

The CMO's desk was wider than would usually be necessary for a single officer, and two chairs were positioned behind it. Seated on them were the two Bynar officers who had been assigned to fill one senior position. The almost identical female humanoids were seated close together and their overlarge, lavender heads were tilted slightly toward each other, the ridges and crevasses seeming to flow toward each other as if they were attracted by some magnetic force. The Bynar were very petite, with a physique matching that of a human girl between the ages of 8 and 12. Except for their fully formed figures and large craniums, Dr. Shree would have mistaken them to be children.

Because Bynar always lived and worked in pairs, Starfleet allowed them to share the single role of CMO.

Another female medical officer was also seated in the room to the side, making notes on a PADD. The Vulcan raised her view slightly to assess the newcomer and then returned her gaze to her work. Seated across from the Chief Medical Officers was an Aenar, who was in the middle of getting briefed by the Doctors.

Along with the Vulcan Assistant CMO, Dr. Lyrya, the Chief Counselor had previously been on the Artemis with their current Captain, Kheren, and also had a special relation to him as one of his wives. The experienced blind counselor sensed the presence of the Andorian, who stood patiently at attention behind her. As a sub-speicies of Andorian herself, with telepathic abilities, she was easily connected mentally to her and was able to sense her confusion and apprehension.

“Please have a seat, Lieutenant,” she said softly. “We were just discussing the medical and psychological tests we need to perform before the Horizon can launch.”

“Quite... right,” said 011 on Shree's left, followed by 110 on her right. Every sentence was shared between the two, who were also telepathically linked, but through certain computer components installed in all Bynar at birth.

“While Lotus Starbase's medical department has examined the entire crew already... it is our duty to perform the function for the senior staff,” they said. “Including ourselves, who will be... medically examined by Dr. T'Lynn,” they added, as they both gestured simultaneously to the silent Vulcan with both their right hands.

“Lieutenant Junior Grade Shree, it will be your duty... to perform a psychological examination of Dr. Lyrya.”

“Additionally, of our Captain and of Assistant Chief of Tactical and Security, Lieutenant Junior Grade Tyvya,” Lyrya added. “As they are my husband and wife, it would be a clear conflict of interest to try to provide an objective assessment of them.”

The CMOs nodded in approval to Lyrya and at the same time, their heads shifted slightly to the left and stared at Shree, with the clear intent of expecting a response. It was oddly calculative, as if they possessed a mental list of all functions and responses that would be appropriate to be performed in a row, and like a computer, would wait until a new command was entered or a fault was logged.

Shree stood smartly before the Bynar doctor determined not to look the least bit out of sorts. The fact was she had never see Bynar before and had vary little idea how to properly converse with them, and what she didn't understand tended to make her nervous.  "Of course doctor.." But cut it off because she was unsure how to address.. her? them? "I am fully qualified at counseling Andorian groupings and would be honored to except this position" All the while she never directly looked at or addressed Lyrya. "It should be noted however that my primary reason for being posted aboard the Horizon was for my expertise in both earth history and temporal studies, to better address the likely difficulties your new first officer, a commander Redding, might encounter conforming to his new environment and century. I will of course be at your disposal for normal duty shifts as well doctor."

"Then it would only be suitable for... the analysis of Commander Redding to come from you, Lieutenant," responded the Doctors 011 and 110. They then shifted their gaze to the right where T'Lynn was seated. "Doctor T'Lynn, please schedule these... examinations with the senior staff."

The Vulcan simply nodded, and said, "Aye, Doctors." The simple response, although not intending to do so, provided a guideline to Counselor Shree on how to properly address them.

Nuora Shree then turned to 'face' Lyrya "I will let you know when I will be available as soon as I receive my duty assignment and we shall discuss any specifics at that time. Have you any questions for me at this time?"

"Thank you, Counselor, I have nothing further," Dr. Lyrya responded lightly.

The meeting thus ended, Assistant Chief Medical Officer T'Lynn sent a message to all the senior bridge officers and assistants to request their presence at the medical and psychological examinations to take place before launch.
