“Yes constantly, don’t worry it’ll be like friends hanging out together.”
As Tendi looked over the charts she grimaced reading the details. She knew a lot of away team missions could be dangerous but this seemed more dangerous than the Cerritos usually faced.
“D-dont worry, you’ll be patched up in no time, I’m sure you can get back on duty soon. Are you feeling any pain where you have phaser burns from being hit?”
Just by looking at her one could tell she was a bit more frazzled by what she had read, namely the other statements mentioning Orions as being part of the attacking group
“Yeah um mild kill setting sure. You survived but still need to be watched over, phaser wounds can have rather unexpected side effects sometimes, plus there’s the healing time.”
Tendi’s unease as she looked over the details seemed to reach Clark. He was perceptive enough to notice it, put two-and-two together with the fact she was in Starfleet. The word ‘friends’ also seemed to ring some previously unmoving bells in his mind.
“Yeah, here… and here. I’m aware that irregularities have sometimes occurred. Don’t prod them too much though– and… erm. I should apologize for my outburst just now. It was unbecoming… much too extreme in my emotions.”
Clark was being a teensy bit more cooperative, even if his general vibe at the moment consisted of a desire to distract himself from everything with his own work.
“So. Uh… medical, huh? Like I said. I almost took it up myself before I finally decided I preferred engineering. And the color yellow.”
“So do you happen to know who attacked you, it might help figure out what type of phaser burns to treat. you know different frequencies and what not. if not that’s completely fine.”
Tendi calmed down a bit before resuming her check of Clark. She smiled at him when he apologized for his outburst. She honestly couldn’t blame him, most people didn’t like spending time in Sickbay and she had seen a few outbursts before, but all of them were handled one way or another.
“Hey listen you don’t have to apologize. You’re injured but you think that you’re fit enough to go back to work. That’s commendable, almost like my friend Boimler but it’s my duty as your nurse to ensure that you truly are fit to go back to work.”
She looked over the spots that he indicated hurt, running a scanner over them and finding just normal bruising for the most part. in her opinion it was less likely that he had survived a full on kill setting but a faulty phaser which had dimmed down the kill setting, though she wouldn’t tell him that, let him believe it was what he thought it was.
“Yeah medical, When I grew up on Orion I wanted to help people out, that and it was kind of a stipulation from my command sponsor to me to get into the Academy, since you know Orion isn’t part of the Federation. I think that’s one of the things I like about the Cerritos though, I don’t get treated like the stereotype of Orions for the most part, all of us here are just one giant dysfunctional family you know?”
