ON

Ever since she had arrived on the Merlin, Pearl had one exam, that was way in the past. It was with Doctor Nir'anyar. With her now being in security, Pearl wondered if she'd need to get another one. And maybe get her birthcontrol shot updated before it ran out, and maybe wellnes check woman wise. The last examination was more for physical capabilities. Pearl also wanted to take better care of herself than what she had been doing. Maybe the doctor could give her advice on that? Taking a few breaths, Pearl then stepped inside. Who would she be talking with first? Matter of fact Pearl was feeling a bit nervous, she felt like turning tail and leaving, but it wouldn't be a good thing for her to step away in her effort to change things for the better. Right now though Pearl just couldn't make her feet move anymore forward to seek out someone.

"Can I help you ma'am?" The voice that greeted her was soft, perhaps bordering a fraction on shy. "You seem a little lost, do you require medical assistance?" Zirvell remained at a respectful distance from the young woman as he studied her, his tricorder held in his right hand though the medical decide was closed and powered down.

Pearl gave a little bit of a start hearing the soft tone of Zirvell" Um... Is Doctor Nir'anyar in? Maybe both of you can answer my questions?" rubbing the back of her hand.

"That depends on the questions!" Anya announced as she emerged from her office looking more than a little tired and carrying a mountain of PADD's all containing the medical records of the entire crew. Given the recent situation with the main computer she had decided to keep everything on isolated data storage devises just on the off chance the worst happened.

"Hello Doctor Nir'anyar, Well healthy questions, I want to be a bit better on taking care of myself. I do believe I am due for an update on my birthcontrol shot, um a woman's health check up and. You see, I have a boyfriend, and have realized that maybe I've been slightly neglectful in putting forth more effort than the mere basics. I do exercise but, maybe I need some improvement."

Zirvell moved quick to relieve his boss of some of her burden. "I'm sure we can help you with that," he offered as he neatly stacked the PADDe on a nearby bed while gesturing to another. "Is there anything we need to know before we proceed? Have you ever received a shot before? If yes, any averse reaction to it?"

"Yes I have had a shot before, and I believe that it is almost time for another one. My cycles have been regular, and I haven't had any adverse reactions to it." Pearl taking a seat upon the indicated bio bed. "I have had a broken rib, sprains, bruises even a broken finger. That though was due to the other job I had." she having been a marine a short time ago.

"I don't think your injuries will affect your fertility ma'am, or their countermeasures." The young man seemed to blush a little at his seemingly forward comment. "What was your other job, if I may ask?"

"I was part of the Marines before they were transferred off the ship. Sadly I had lost a friend when the ship was hit by that strand." Pearl replied. "Happily though I wasn't transferred due to finding out I had passed the exams which allowed me to go to another area, and I can stay on the Merlin." Pearl babbling slightly.

Her babbling was a bit of a concern, at least to the inexperienced medical officer so he cast a sideways glance at his supervisor. "What kind of exam?" He prompted as he started to take a few scans.

"Marines are a independent organisation that work with Starfleet. Chief Bijoux had to pass a cursory Starfleet examination to transfer into Starfleet... You won't have to take those exams, just the accepted Medical training and the examinations that you will pass with flying colours" she looked at her new Assistant Chief Medical Officer rather pointed. "I'm telling you by the way and not suggesting, and don't think I didn't spot the moment of embarrassment. That is something you will need to conquer right away so, Doctor Khen, please see to your patient!"

"Yes ma'am," the young man said , "and I had meant for her to answer to keep her talking and learn more...." He turned his attention to his patient as he loaded up the necessary vial into his hypospray. "Anything medical you need to inform us of that isn't yet in your file?" He asked as he pressed the device to her neck, the telltale hiss sounding as contents were released.

"Oh the examination of becoming a petty officer. I had tested for that but a micommunication had been made, and I ended up joining the marines. Now though that clerical error has been corrected and so here I am. Part of Star Fleet and also security officer. I am excited about that." Pearl exclaimed. "Also nothing medical to inform you of."

The Cardassian nodded. "Good to know your record is up to date ma'am. I just don't understand such a clerical order or miscommunication could even occur. Hopefully it didn't take too long to correct?"

"It got corrected a few days ago." Pearl responded, "While we were on shoreleave. And well, things have happened like that. Either way, I am now where I belong." she tilted her head for a moment looking at the Cardassian assistant MD,"How long have you been in Star Fleet, doctor?" looking at Zirvell.

"That depends on how you look at it," Zirvell answered with a small smile. "Effectively I suppose it would be mere months, excluding Academy training and over a decade in stasis. If I include it, maybe about sixteen years? What about you?"

"Wow, well with me, its been ten years counting Marine training." she looked around once more, giving a smile. "You are not too bad there Doctor Khen, good bedside manners, that sort of thing. Am I registering cleared for duty?" Pearl being eager to get to work.

"Yes ma'am." The young man's greyish complexion seemed to change a little in hue. "Thank you ma'am." He stepped aside to let her up. "If there's anything that we should know about at a later date please don't hesitate to let us know, it may be important in case of future treatments."

Pearl gave a bit of a nod. "Thank you both and now I shall be off." with a wave the newly minted security officer headed out the door, with a smile.
