Mission: Spiders of Sarastus VII
ON:
Kai just finished inputting information about the last physical when her door opened. "Ah...Commander. Last physical! Welcome. Please pick a biobed."
The large Bolian let out a deep gut jiggling burst of laughter as he stepped through the doorway. "Oh so many options to choose from" he said teasingly. The infirmary on the small station was cozy, only three biobeds to truly choose from. Brott smiled at the woman. "Not quite your last physical today" he added.
Brott stepped aside, and like a Russian nesting doll a smaller figure appeared from behind him although the adolescent boy looked nothing remotely like Brott. Short, lean, and a warm dark skin tone, not the least bit blue. Bolian, the boy was not. He appeared to be human. "One of our guests from the Warbler. This is..." Brott had the name on the tip of his tongue.
Letting out a small sigh, the boy took over. "Jayson Jackson, Jase for short though. Only my parents call me Jayson." He was a pleasant enough boy, fifteen, but small for his age. "The big blue guy says I need a physical before the Professor and the science lady take me out into the nebula."
Kai smiled. "Indeed he is right." Her eyes gleamed. "Nice to meet you Jase. The blue guy is Commander Brott who will for this physical be my nurse."
Jase had heard the man's name a few times now, but each and every time he giggled and tried his best to contain it, but it just make him crack a toothy grin and make his cheeks warm with rouge. "Isn't that a sort of sausage you have with sauerkraut?"
Kai shook her head. "You my friend are a trouble maker." She laughed. "Okay hop up on the bio bed. Nurse Brott you can start the tricorder readings for me."
Jase hopped up onto the biobed, gleaming at the pretty Doctor. "You have a lot of freckles" he said referring to her species' markings, the spots that Trill had. "Are you a Trill?"
Brott huffed but couldn't help but chuckle at the teasing the boy had put him trough. "Now I'm hungry for bratwurst" he said fetching the tricorder. "Not quite troublemaker. Izzy says he has a very good attendance record at his school, and is towards the top of his class, but she did warm me he can be a bit of a class clown."
The Trill smiled as she walked over to the bio bed. She tapped the wall panel. "So, Jase. Tell me whey you are so excited about your trip. What do you want to be when you grow up."
"Hey Doc lady, I'm fifteen, not a toddler," he replied sticking out his tongue. Why do adults always treat us like that he thought, but didn't dwell on it. "I don't really know yet to tell you the truth. I really like studying space storms like ion storms and stuff like that, Professor thinks I should apply to Starfleet, but mom says it's too dangerous."
"Well your mom is right. And I stand by my statement," She smiled sweetly. "You maybe fifteen but you still have some growing to do." She frowned as she looked at the readings. "Is your breathing okay?"
"Well..." Jase shrugged. "I think it is. I raced Brott here and I was fine, but he needed to stop half way and catch his breath. I thought he was going to fall over" added the teenager.
Brott looked ran the tricorder over the boy's anatomy and gasped, offended by the recounting of their little sprint. "Taddler."
"Well you are a bit congested which could be the dry air on ships. I have something for that and as for Mr. Brott he's next on my list. You can even help me give him his shot."
Brott was not thrilled about that. "What is it with you and shots?" he asked. "Hyposprays not good enough for you?" Brott teased. He looked at the teenager. Short nurse he thought.
Jase smiled. "I think he's afraid of shots" commented the boy. "He's turning pale just thinking about it."
Kai grinned. "We'll give him time to get used to it. "Alright. Hypo for you young man and then the final scan and they you'll switch duties. He'll be the patient and you the nurse."
Jase was excited about that. So much so that he didn't even give it a second thought about the hypo he was receiving. "This is going to be fun" he said gleefully. He was eager to switch roles and play nurse for the Doctor. "Is this what you do all day?"
She grinned. "I am a doctor so yes tests, exams, scans." She gave him the hypo and initiated the scan. She kept an eye on his readouts. "Well you are healthy young man. Okay hop down and let's get Mr. Brott up on the bio bed."
As Jase leapt off, Brott begrudgingly climbed up onto the biobed. "And keep me company" Brott commented about the Doctor. "A lot of what we do on Bellwether keeps us all on Bellwether, but once in a whole there's an opportunity or need for some of us to travel away from the station."
Jase nodded. "Like the Sky Cloud lady that's going with the Professor and I?"
Kai looked up. "Sky Cloud lady?"
Brott chuckled. "He means Lieutenant Macleod" explained Brott referring to the Science Officer. "They are all going into the ionite nebulae."
"That will be fun." She handed Jase a tricorder. "Okay my friend. Time to learn on the job. Do you see the three graphs there?"
Jase nodded. "Yes, I can see them. What are they?"
"When they reach over fifty and stabilize, meaning they go up or down only a few points i need you to read out the numbers to me."
He smiled. "Oh I can do that," Jase stated. "That sounds easy enough."
She smiled a little and looked over at Brott "We may have a love of medical developing."
Jase did as instructed and read out the numbers when prompted to do so. If medical had not been an interest to him before, it was now. Though he had always had a knack for science. "Thank you, Doctor. "
Brott sighed. "If we are done, I would like to slip out of here before the two of you come up with more things."
Kai laughed. "Sounds good to me. You're both welcome back here when you want. There is plenty to help out with."
"Always is" replied Brott cheerfully able to escape though it was very true. There was almost always something to be done on Bellwether.
