[USS Calypso - Sickbay]

It was as if there was a mental check list that he was checking off each time he stopped at a location that he knew he had to visit as part of coming aboard to a new vessel. He had met with the commanding officer of the vessel now it was time for the physical in sickbay. Delon didn't mind it however a lot of times the doctors doing the physical had a habit of putting him through a few unnecessary tests just to satisfy their own curiosity. It wasn't often that you would see a half human half Romulan walking around.

Delon stepped into the sickbay once the doors opened and looked around. It wasn't very busy at the moment so he headed over to the office that belonged to the Chief Medical officer. He knocked on the glass as he noticed a female doctor sitting down working on the computer.

"Come in...", Leanne said as she looked up.

Delon nodded and stepped into the office. "I am Lieutenant Delon Tovan, reporting for a physical." He wasn't sure how often she had heard that. It was his impression that the doctors usually had to chase down people to report to such things as this.

"You must be new," she said as she removed herself from the chair to approach him. "I'm Doctor Leanne Bowen, Chief Medical Officer. Follow me." The doctor left her office to the main sickbay to pick an empty biobed. When she approached one, she patted it as she looked at him, "Have a seat."

"I am..." Delon responded as he followed the doctor would of the main office and headed over to where the bio-beds were located. After she pointed to one he approached it and took a seat. "I just arrived aboard the vessel."

"Is your medical record in our database?" She picked up the PADD.

"I believe so. I don't see why it wouldn't be doctor." Delon responded as he watched the doctor work. "The commander had the information concerning my transfer so I assume that you would have my medical records."

"Oh, here it is...So, you are half Romulan? Is there anything that I need to know about before we get started?"

"That is correct." Dolen nodded as he continued to sit there. "Everything concerning my medical history should be right there, I have nothing else to add at this time."

"I see that you had your physical three months ago on the other ship. Well, I'll do a short one to make sure everything is the same." She put the PADD away and picked up the tricorder. She opened it and started the scans which lasted almost two minutes. "Well, your scans look good and within normal limits. I'll add that to your record. Any questions or concerns?"

Delon was very pleased that the physical didn't last very long. He moved off from the biobed and shook his head. "No questions at the moment doctor." He responded and wondered if there was going to be more to this or if he could leave.

"Okay. Your next physical will be in nine months. You are free to go, Lieutenant." She watched him get up and left sickbay.
