Ensign Vorrut was late. He was supposed to meet with the Lieutenant Commander when he arrived on the ship but instead the Commander was already aboard the ship in the Mess Hall eating his dinner. Vorrut had many tasks being one of the Nurses aboard the vessel at the moment so he was stretched thin but he still hurried on down to meet Lt. Commander Li in the mess hall where the computer had told him where he was.

Upon entering, the door revealed a large open space with many tables, a counter just in front of the kitchen for serving food and several plants throughout the room. The place was lit brightly with fluorescent bulbs. Noticing the Commander, he approached him. "Hello Sir, my name Ensign Vorrut, I am one of the nurses aboard the USS-Midway. I was instructed to come get you and escort you to the medical bay for your standard routing physical upon your transfer. If you'd kindly follow me" He said motioning for the Lt. Commander to follow.

Dr Li was quietly eating her lunch, farfarelle salad and green tea in her civilian clothing, just a plain wool tracksuit . She is seating alone as most her team are still getting accustomed to this new environment. She looks at him oddly as he approached her and adressed her then answered after looking around her “Yes?”

Looking slightly annoyed, he looked at vacant expression on the Lt. Commander's Face. "Well, as I just said, I was instructed to come get you and escort you to the medical bay to go see the Assistant Chief Medical Officer who is the acting Chief of the department for now. Your due for your routine Physical upon your transfer. I hope your shuttle flight was comfortable, yes? Please, if you'll follow me" He said motioning once again for Li to follow.

She then realized he was truly talking to her and hurried to tidy her plate to transport it, quickly finishing her tea “Oh I’m sorry, Ensign. I thought you were address someone else by calling me Sir. Alright, we shall go. I just need to properly package my meal” she stood up and went to the counter to get a mess kit or other ways to transport her meal before returning to the ensign “Sorry again, i am ready now”

With a slightly confused look on the Ensign's face, the started to walk towards the Turbolift. "Erm, but sir. You do of course know that "Sir" is the proper address for you as my superior in rank? But of course, Alpha Fleet and the Federation leaves that up to the individuals themselves. Would I prefer I call you by ma'am?"

"Perhaps, not used to that, ma'am or doctor should do. Hearing sir just sounds wrong" She said as she followed him to the Turbolift "Oh, you asked about my shuttle flight right? Yes i was comfortable, i could read a bit on the way, a book about acupuncture on different sophonts, very interesting how such tradition practice had to evolve a lot to accommodate different physiologies"

Chuckling, Vorrut replied "Indeed it is, So what made you choose the science route instead of the medical route when you first attended the academy?" They had reached the turbolift. Ensign Vorrut called the Turbolift, the entered and Vorrut order the Turbolift to Deck 5.

"Met a sophont when I was a child during a vacation, she was more intelligent, wiser and more compassionate than i was. I was fascinated by her, and though that reason may be questionable if I was an adult at time, just that made me want to lear about her specie then after I finished with that another one and so on until I became passionate with the existence of sophonts in general."

"Ah, sounds like you've had a very interesting path" He chuckled. The Turbolift came to a halt and revealed a set of corridors. They headed down the right corridor and then to the left where they came to a pair of doors. They entered and inside was a dazzling medical bay with highly advanced technology, devices and medicine lining every walk and in the center was an advanced surgical bay. Off to the right was the office of the Chief Medical Officer, who at the current time is Assistant Chief Medical Officer Lt. Commander Messeen Prunes, she was sitting at her desk, pouring over a pile of documents when they came in. "Commander, here is Lieutenant Commander Orion Li as ordered for her routine Physical."

"Thank you Ensign" Prunes said with a smile on her face. Looking at Li, she said "Come on in, I won't take much of your time. I am Lt. Commander Messeen Prunes. I'm the Assistant Chief Medical Officer aboard the Midway and right now I'm also the acting CMO. So, moving right along, I will be completing a routine Physical with you which is required for all transfer within Alpha Fleet. So, what can you tell me about your medical history? Any medical conditions I should be aware about?" She looked at her with an expectant look on her face, waiting for Li's response.

"I don't think i have any particular conditions. Never had anything particular, some stomach aches, headaches, flus and colds here and there but nothing massive" She said while pinching her chin to think. "My parents were both medical specialists, they always ensured that my sister and i were in good health"

"Very well, then let's just do a standard work up". She took some blood work, measured her temperature, listened to her lungs, and completed various other tasks with a swiftness that says she's done this several times over. "There, all done. You beat be getting back to your duties Commander. We will see you later." And with that, she turned and swept off in a flash to complete other tasks.
