Mission: Not Where I Belong
Location: USS Chuck Norris
Timeline: Current

- USS Chuck Norris -

Having checked-in on the bridge, Steven had made his way to sickbay to inspect the facilities and the staff. When he walked into the small space, he wondered if he’d initially walked into a storage closet.

“Three bio beds? No office. No research lab. Minimal surgical equipment.” He said out loud. “What the heck am I supposed to do with this?

“You get used to it.” Came a voice from behind one of the bio beds. A Bolian medical officer got to his feet and introduced himself, “Ensign Gertup, medical officer.”

Steven stepped forward and shook the man’s hand, “Lieutenant (JG) Steven McCloud, Chief Medical Officer.”

“A pleasure, Doctor McCloud.” The Bolian grinned. “As I was saying, you’ll soon get used to the facilities onboard. Its not big, its not grand, but its a damn fine ship with a fine crew to match.”

Steven felt somewhat convinced. He nodded confidently, “I’m sure that you’re right, Ensign. Have most of the crew departed for the Starbase? I was hoping to see some of them and update their medical files.”

Gertup shook his head, “You’ll find the crew on the Starbase. There’s going to be a big promotion ceremony soon. Apparently there has also been a massive influx of Klingons. Something to do with the first officer.” He shrugged his shoulders, “I’ll be remaining onboard the ship though, if you want to attend the ceremony. I’ve had more than my fair share of incidences with Klingons.”

Steven thought about it for a moment. A promotion ceremony might be something he should attend. “Thank you, Ensign. If you need me, I’ll be on Starbase 10.” The man turned and made his way out of the cramped sickbay.
