Getting to Know you

[Katherine_Swan 0]

Malik Pilot is still sitting on the biobed 4, holding his arm with cotton in place.

 

Katherine takes the sample back to the analyzer for processing. "Is this your first assignment?"

 

Malik looks at her. "Why yes it is. Fresh out of the Academy. Is this your first assignment as well?"

 

Katherine thinks a moment before she continues. No sense making trouble for herself. Then she hears his question back to her. "Umm I guess you could say it is my first assignment in Star Fleet yes," she turns and approaches him once more.

 

Malik ponders for a moment. "What were your other positions if you don't mind me asking?"

 

Katherine gets a slightly shocked look on her face. Here this is, a new Ens, He does not know her past on the ship. Does she really want to allow him to? Since he's in Security he might take offense to what had happened in the past. She didn't want to jeopardize that trust in the medical department. "Lets just say I was not in the capacity I am now and leave it at that. Shall we?"

 

Malik can sense a sort of pause her thoughts that were floating like a waterfall when he walked in, after that question was asked the pause came. "You don't have to Doctor." Malik smiled slightly.

 

She lets out a sigh of relief, "Thank you Mr. Pilot. Its a long story that I'd rather not go into at this time." She smiles at him and takes his arm, unbending it. She takes the cotton off the draw sight checking it for any sign of trouble. "You clot nicely Ens."

 

Malik smiles. "Thank you I guess. I work out to keep up with the criminals." He laughs a slight chuckle trying to ease the tension in room.

 

She steps back slightly at the word criminals. Did he know about her past here? Was this a funny joke to him? Now she was worried at how much he really knew and wasn't speaking of. The laugh didn't help either. Was he hiding the fact he knew of her time in the brig? No no she had to remain calm. "Ens Your free to go, If I find anything on the blood work I will send you a message to return and we will speak of it then. No news is good news they say."

 

Malik sensed an uneasiness with Katherine after his comment and laugh. "Did I say something wrong?" Malik didn't in tend on offending the good doctor.

 

"Um, no no not at all. I'm just, just still new at all this myself. That's all. Um I better let you get back to your duties, I'll have Dr. Porter go over your file when she returns and if there's anything wrong or she needs anything else we will contact you." Katherine turns quickly to go back to the lab area and act as if she's checking on something.

 

"Aye. Nice meeting you." Malik thought to himself she seemed uneasy when I mentioned staying in shape to catch criminals, I will investigate this later.

 

Katherine turns towards him. "Thank you for being so prompt in reporting in. Most make us come hunting for them. Have a good day."

 

Malik got up and moved out of the sickbay then caught the nearest Turbo Lift to his quarters.
