Mission: Holographic Horrors
Location: Sick Bay
Timeline: Day of arrival

=^= Doctor Dael to Lieutenant sexton, Lieutenant, do you have time to come to sick bay this afternoon? I would be happy to complete your onboarding physical if so. =^=

Alex stopped in his tracks. “Affirmative Doc. I’m on my way.” And he made a bee line for sickbay.

MedBay was tidy as one would expect, and the doctor all-but-disappeared behind their large desk. The minimal amount of detritus to the desk spoke of a new occupant, and Asa seemed a bit at a loss for where to turn or how to most effectively navigate the space as they rose to greet the newcomer.

“Hello, I’m Doctor Dael, pleased to meet you!,” the doctor greeted the tall man with a cheerful smile, motioning towards a nearby medical station. “I’ve reviewed your records….such as they are. I seem to be missing large portions of your time with StarFleet, which I understand to be classified. For your own safety and security, would you object to a fresh batch of vaccinations for this sector? I’d hate you to get sick over something easily treatable.” The young doctor sounded to be babbling, but once their tricorder was in hand, they took on a professional air, obviously more at home in a medical setting than making small talk.

“I have no objections. There’s just two I won’t take as I have my reasons and Star Fleet is aware. “ and he looked at the list on the pads. Pointed to them and left it at that.

"I understand, those are not vital to our current mission, so I won't make a fuss. I'm sure you understand the risks associated with your choice. I do see some old breaks that have mostly healed over. I would like you to consider an annual bone density supplement. You have no loss of functionality yet, but an ounce of prevention is worth a kilogram of cure, is it not?"

"That's sound reasoning and I have to agree, hit me with your best shot Doc!" And Alex sat back an let the doctor do his thing.

Glad to be of service, Asa bustled about securing the necessary injections and loading into a single shot. After all, there is no reason to cause a patient more discomfort than necessary. Asa was a big believer in proactive health care measures and was glad the crew seemed to respond well to their suggestions.

They placed the injector over Sexton's arm and said, "On the count of 3. 1-2-" and deployed the injection before reaching 3. An old trick to be sure, but still a good one from time to time.

"Feel ok?"

"Never felt better doc. You still got it. Now where's my lollipop?" Alex said jokingly

"Next time," promised the doctor, with a smile on their face. "Now get on out of here, don't you have a galaxy to explore?"

Alex smiled, jumped down off the Biobed and adjusted his tunic. "Thanks Doc." Was all he said as he left the sickbay.
