Moments after arriving

Meslina steps off the transporter pad and looks around the room trying to get her thoughts together on her new duty assignment. Going over to the nearest wall terminal she finds out where the nearest turbolift is located. " Heading towards the lift she looks around her trying to get her barrings and make sure she has an idea of where things are located for future use. "Deck 745," she tells the computer as the doors slide shut behind her.

Once the lift doors open again she can't help but notice that the corridors are filled with all sorts of people and alien races going about their daily lives, moving with a slight determination to get to her quarters without having to talk to anyone she pushes past several groups that are in the way. "Excuse me," she whispers meekly to one group that seems to be talking about a past mission that they were on. Reaching her door she enters and lets out a slight sigh of relief to be away from all the people.

Putting her bag down in her room she comes out to notice that the computer screen on her desk is flashing with a unread message, pressing the button a reminder for her to report to sickbay for check up is flashing on the screen. Leaving her quarters once again she makes her way back to the turbolift that she just used, "sickbay." Stepping inside the pristine environment brings back some memories of her mother's lab, as a doctor comes from around the corner she stands at attention, "Ensign Amakawa reporting for physical."

Romans looked up and saw an ensign standing in front of him. "Ahh yes. If you will do me a favor and head into that office there." Jason motioned for his office. "I will be in with you in just a moment." He turned into another Doorway that was leading into a post surgical suite.

Going into the room that was indicated she looks around the sterile room and see's that everything in a neat order, smiling at this she sits down in the chair awaiting the doctor's return. "I wonder how long this exam is going to take, I still need to unpack and report to the commander," she thinks out loud.

"It shouldn't take too long," Jason said as he rounded the doorway corner into the office and proceeded towards the back table."Now its Ensign...." he grabbed the PADD, "Amakawa?"

"Great. I need to do a few scans real quick. While I am doing that I need a quick verbal history from you. Previous Stations, Family Medical, et cetera. Anything you think will help in the event of medical events in your life." Jason said as he started to scan the Ensigns body.

"Uh let's see, as it's stated in my records I was born on my home planet of Trill as an only child. Both my parents are deceased but from the knowledge that I have they didn't have any outstanding medical concerns that we need to worry about." Taking a slow breath at the mention of her parents Meslina tries to think about anything that may be presented for the future, not really thinking of anything at the time she continues.

"I joined Starfleet in the year 2380-84, then I received my first assignment on 2385 aboard the USS Dauntless a Galaxy Class starship doing relief efforts for damaged or destroyed colonies around the federation until 2387. My next duty post was 2387 aboard the USS Starlight a Nebula Class ship providing Tactical support and ideas to help improve future defense until 2390, and this is now my current posting," she says while glancing around taking in the whole starbase.

Noticing that Doctor Romans was continuing with his scan she thought that it may be important to note something that he may have already read in her medical report and on the scan. "Also you may noticed that I do not have a symbiont, but that is common at times with my people," she lied slightly not really sure if she was willing to go into more detail of her not choosing to bond even though she had past all the test and was given the chance. "If there is nothing else that I need to do then I must be on my way to report to the commander and unpack my belongings."

"Very well," Romans tapped a few of the tabs on his PADD looking for a few of the results to the scans. Silence filled the room for a few moments. "Well, everything appears to be in order. I will make a note of the symbiont not being present. Have you thought about joining, or are you choosing to go without the process?" Romans was not sure if this was too personal, but he knew any process of adding or taking away of something from a persons body could change the physiological aspects of the person.

Looking away from Romans Meslina pushes back a errand strand behind her ear before looking back at him in the eyes, "I rather not talk about it. It's kind of a personal issue and no offense but I don't think it's any one's business on this station whether I am joined or not, it's not like I can't do my job without being joined. I thought I would just say something for my medical records for the future in case something does arise. Now if you excuse me I am needed in the Tactical and Strategic Ops offices to report to my superior, good day." Getting off the table she pushes past Romans and walks out into the corridor and let's out a small sigh. 'Why is it such a big deal that I'm not joined, yeah I know the reason, but at the same time it's my choice in the end. I may go back one day if I feel ready but I'm not there yet.' Meslina thinks to herself letting out another sigh as she starts towards the turbolift.

Back in Sickbay, Romans figured he had touched a slight nerve with the new Ensign, and made more of a mental note as the file was already noted. He figured somethings were best personal rather than public medical information.
