 Finding a data pad in the top desk drawer, he exclaimed “Ah, here we go. . .”  For a brief second, he looked at the chair behind the desk, as if unsure whether it was really his.  Finally, he resolved to sit, and after tapping a few times on the data pad, Doctor Cromwell created his first ship-board appointment schedule.  “Let’s do your pre-natal exam in three days at around 1300 hours depending on your schedule—I know you’ll be busy.  Now, on to the other business at hand. . .” Finding a data pad in the top desk drawer, he exclaimed “Ah, here we go. . .”  For a brief second, he looked at the chair behind the desk, as if unsure whether it was really his.  Finally, he resolved to sit, and after tapping a few times on the data pad, Doctor Cromwell created his first ship-board appointment schedule.  “Let’s do your pre-natal exam in three days at around 1300 hours depending on your schedule—I know you’ll be busy.  Now, on to the other business at hand. . .”
  
-Slowly placing the pad on the desk, the doctor folded his hands, and looked at Lana with a direct, concerned expression.  “Look, I may not be an empath,” he said finally.  “But I’ve gone to enough psychology seminars to know when something is bothering a person.  You’re going to be a mother, and undo stress on you can reap dangerous repercussions for your child.  You already have a stressful position as the Saratoga’s first officer, and as your attending physician, I don’t want to see anymore stress than necessary during this pregnancy.  So, if something else is on your mind, it behooves you to resolve it now.”+Slowly placing the pad on the desk, the doctor folded his hands, and looked at Lana with a direct, concerned expression.  “Look, I may not be an empath,” he said finally.  “But I’ve gone to enough psychology seminars to know when something is bothering a person.  You’re going to be a mother, and undo stress on you can reap dangerous repercussions for your child.  You already have a stressful position as the Republic’s first officer, and as your attending physician, I don’t want to see anymore stress than necessary during this pregnancy.  So, if something else is on your mind, it behooves you to resolve it now.”
  
 The doctor sat back in his chair, and added “mind you, I’m a good listener.  However, if you’d feel more comfortable with the ship’s counselor, you’ll have to wait until I meet with my staff.” The doctor sat back in his chair, and added “mind you, I’m a good listener.  However, if you’d feel more comfortable with the ship’s counselor, you’ll have to wait until I meet with my staff.”

-Blue woman hid a smirk behind her hand as she felt the lift stop on Deck 6. She stepped the doors as they slid open, silently, again, much to Carter's annoyance. As the stepped onto the new deck, she looked back over her shoulder to address Saratoga's new Tactical Officer. "Officer Country is haunted." She said the words so casually, John knew she at least THOUGHT she was serious. Blue woman stepped out of sight as the doors to the lift car slid shut.+Blue woman hid a smirk behind her hand as she felt the lift stop on Deck 6.

 John Carter stood in the lift, blinking once or twice as he felt the car resume it's journey upward to his final destination. The lift car stopped at deck four, doors sliding open silently...again. Carter stepped onto the deck and turned to his left, eyes on the lookout for his new quarters. "Haunted," he said out loud to no one in particular. "Sure it is." He continued, "Of COURSE it is. I mean it would have to be, wouldn't it?" John Carter stood in the lift, blinking once or twice as he felt the car resume it's journey upward to his final destination.

-John tapped a few keys at his tactical station. The MSSD, (Multi-Station System Display) which had been the Starfleet standard for well-over 100 years, shifted and changed to open a text dialogue between John Carter's Tactical Station and Science One, across the back of Saratoga's spacious bridge.+John tapped a few keys at his tactical station.

 Carter couldn't help but think back to his time onboard the U.S.S. Valiant II, when  a cocky and over-confident Lieutenant John Carter suddenly found himself at odds with thousands of years of Andorian cultural tradition. Even on starships, Andorian's maintained a complex and oft times confusing clan organization where positions in society actually took precedence, albeit not officially, over rank or position within a given ship's command structure. Carter had bucked this tradition by appointing an Andorian crewman he saw as better qualified (to say nothing of his higher rank) for an away mission ahead of another Andorian. What John did not know was that the crewman he had rebuffed was senior to all other Andorian's on the Valiant, and he had therefore insulted this Andorian's house, clan, and . . . depending on who you might have discussed the situation with, the Andorian Race as a whole. Carter couldn't help but think back to his time onboard the U.S.S.
