Cmdr Jami Farrington, MD

USS Manticore, NCC 5852

 

A bleep of recognition welcomed Dr. Farrington as she entered her office, yet another bonus from former Consul General Jaffe.  Physicians' offices and everything they contained were completely secure, whether or not the door was locked.  As they entered, the computer scanned their biosigns, matched them with records, cross-checked them with SFHQ data, then either admitted the physician or, in the case of an unauthorized intruder, set off a security alarm.  All this was done in the space of a nanosecond.  The only possible problem Jami could foresee was their becoming complacent and forgetting that not all starships had such security systems installed.

 

As she sat at her console to write her report, the thought occurred to her that Margaux Roget, now resting in sick bay, owed her very life to former Consul General Jaffe.  To add a note of irony, though Consul General Melville was directly responsible for Margaux's brush with death, he had inadvertantly saved her life. Without his shenanigans, Consul General Jaffe may not have given Manticore the cutting-edge equipment it now had.

 

What exactly had saved Margaux's life, besides her battle-hardened tenacity and her thick-skinned determination to outwit everyone and everything, including death?  For one, the extraction equipment in the shuttle bay.  Newly installed, the equipment locked on to Margaux's biological image, scanned the wreckage to determine the most effective means of extraction, matched that against the probabilities of her survival, then proceeded in the most efficient manner without further endangering her in any way.  Quite a nice little toy, that was.

 

Another thing: new emergency medical equipment, able to stabilize anything but a dead body -- maybe even resuscitate one, given the right circumstances. Attached directly to the ship's computer it was instantly programmed to Margaux's exact medical profile.  It knew her body inside and out, down to the last hangnail.  And the stretcher, connected directly to the ship's transporter system, able to transport site to site at the press of a button, and take the designated medical officer(s) with it.

 

Then there was Dr. Mele, who just *happened* to show up along with the equipment.  Jami paused at that thought.  Was it a coincidence, or was he a special operative?  After due consideration, she realized it didn't make much difference, so long as he was a good medical officer, and so far he had proven to be a darn good one.

 

Dr. Farrington finished her report and began to log out, then realized she didn't have to do that anymore.  She smiled.  Yes, she could get used to this.  She could get used to it really easily!
