ON

Ferreno was very aware of his uniform; he had to make a good impression as this is a new ship, striding along the corridors towards the Sickbay; he had no ailments and kept a good health regiment but had to be checked by the Chief Medical Officer while reporting to a new post. It was logical for the Doctor to get a baseline to compare to Ferreno if he were injured?

He had memorized the Staff Officers and Department Heads so he could spot the Chief easily enough, it also helped she was a female that made the memory a bit easier. He had the medical records from his previous ship on the PADD to save time as he located the Doctor and stood near to be acknowledged.

"Major Afton." He offered the PADD Sular Ferreno reporting for my processing Medical check." He did not give anything from his expression other than Vulcan. "I thought it best as the New Department Chief to not have you track me down for the medical check." He contained the urge to smirk at his remark.

Her white braid she flipped over her shoulder as she took the padd from him. A cursory glance and she uploaded the data into the computer terminal she'd been working on with a flick of her fingers. "It's always better that way. I prefer my victims willing" her mouth curled upwards as she indicated that she was teasing. Another Vulcan hybrid it seemed, was Azura asking for them, or were they gravitating here of their own free will.

"You sound like my Grandmother while trying a new sauce creation." Ferreno commented as he routinely removed his jacket for the examination. "I have just returned from a classified mission lasting nearly a year so please excuse the conflicted injury log, trust me ; they all happened and were... repaired properly but no dates as it was not a pleasure cruise I can assure you."

"No assignment is a pleasure cruise these days it seems. I am..." she trailed off decided that what she'd been about to say was unnecessary and shrugged "Lets just say that I understand."

"Noted." Ferreno said. "SO are they keeping you busy, with our departure and crew assignments?" He asked. "Operations is busiest when we leave port or upon arrival in readiness for departure. Once in route we are just a bunch of Fix -it people."

"The beauty of a well run sickbay is you're never bored." Keisha couldn't help but smile a little at his cheerful nature.

"Then I will endeavor to fulfill your request of OPS in the same manner." Ferreno replied. "Cannot have it said I let a lady down by being inefficient."

"Engineering will certainly like you" came the crisp reply, as Keisha hid a smile behind a mask of calm she'd learned from Azura.

"I tend to make friends with the Engineering Staff, makes both our lives so much easier and no stepping on each other's toes along the way." Ferreno replied. "Being here longer than I; anything I should know about the crew ; you know, odd requests like Romulan Ale for medisinal purposes, something I might need a Ferengi to procure?" He joked but some medical supplies are easier to barter for rather than go through channels?

The corners of her mouth turned upwards in amusement "Nothing so exciting as that, though the Captain might want to procure proper Vulcan herbs and spices from time to time. They're easy to find with regular channels. " Her eyes took on a faraway quality as the mention of herbs brought back the sweetish scent of white sage, heather and pine. Home.

"Well then I guess I will only look forward to the routine filing of Medical requests when at port?" Ferreno chuckled lightly. "One less department to worry about, you seem the type to get what you need when needed?"

"You'll be the first to know if I am not. " Her smile this time was full and genuine, erasing the shadows of pain in her face for a moment.

"Please be aware that Operations is a support organization and as such at your service." HE bow slightly. "If you do not need anything else I shall not take up any more of your time?"

Laughing she gestured for the door, dismissing him and being amused by his antics all in one fell swoop.
