Two Doc's in a Box (Well a Starship)

Mission: Holographic Horrors
Location: Medical
Timeline: Stardate 72664.7

Asa stepped into Medical, their tailbone throbbing from a fall earned during a training session with McBain. While instructive, a little more than their pride took a beating while acclimating to the armor they would be using.

Seeing no one was around, and anxious to complete their on-boarding medical exam, the doctor pulled up the Emergency Medical Hologram.

"Please state the nature of the medical emergency," the EMH popped out with automatically as he shimmered into existence.

What is it with these holograms having either no hair or sticky-uppy hair? Someone in programming has weird taste

“Hello, and what should I call you?” they asked.

"I don't have a name. Most just call me Doctor, Doc, hey..." The EMH picked up a nearby tricorder and began checking the calibration. "One of the crew has been trying to help me pick a name, but it's a somewhat personal matter so I've been hesitant. Anyway, what can I help you with?"

“Hello, I’m Asa Dael. Would you mind helping me with this bruise I’ve acquired, and perhaps completing my on-board medical exam? I need to be cleared for duty, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone else around.”

"Yes, of course." Picking up a PaDD, he tapped in the name and checked Asa's file. "And I see why. You're the new Chief Medical Officer. I'd be happy to help." Flashing a charming smile, the British modeled EMH set to work, first healing the bruise with a combined technique of scanning and running a regenerator over the affected area. "It'll still be tender for a day or two, so I'd advise a soak in a hot bath. I believe the captain's wife was wanting to open a hot springs near the arboretum to augment her massage parlor. Perhaps you could inquire with her."

"Right of course, I'll.....do that...I guess I should schedule a meeting for the medical personnel too once I get cleared. Do I have everyone back on board yet?"

"I have no idea. Are we still docked? Last I knew, we were at some station for shore leave and I was having a maintenance check done." Switching to just the tricorder for the physical part, the EMH proceeded with that as efficiently as he could. "I had a nice conversation about homeopathy and the healing benefits of massage and spa treatments with the captain's holographic wife. She's quite the amazing woman. If I were any less of a gentleman, I'd love to work with her more just so I cou..." As soon as he was done scanning, the EMH cut his small talk subroutine short and set the tricorder aside in favor of the PaDD. "Your physical is complete and you've been checked in. Is there anything else I can help with?"

"No, that is all, thank you. Upload report to the Captain and deactivate please."

Chief medical officer....ok. Well, I always was ambitious. Hope I don't screw this up.

Asa went to their new work-station and sent notice to all medical personnel to convene at 1600 hours the next day for general briefing and a "get-to-know-you" session. As soon as that was complete, they began studying the dossier given to them by the Captain to see if they could find any information on Hera.

Goddess my nonexistent rear end. More like some hopped up power-mad technologically superior race that deigns to lord it over us from time to time. There has to be a way to defeat the witch in here somewhere..."

The EMH hummed a bit as he filled out the report on the PaDD and set it aside before deactivating himself.
