Mission: The Forgotten Outpost
Location: Medical deck

Cassandra had gone straight to medical to deliver the teams medical files so they could be imputed into the doctors data base for patience. The idea of working on a star base was exciting to her. It made her think of the Colony only on better terms and with much better equipment to work with. The last two ships they worked on had denied her to help in the medical decks. Cassi was hoping for better luck this go around. Sure she was a Marine but her passion was always in medicine and helping people. She entered the medical lounge and approached the front desk. "Hello I am here to drop off these medical files." She said. "Is the doctor available?"

McQueen looked through the office doorway and said. "I am here in my office. How may I assist you?: She smiled as she made her way from her office into the main Sickbay ward.

Cassandra smiled, "Hello Doctor McQueen I was ordered to deliver these service files to you for your ships data base. I am Doctor Cassandra Mathews I am attached to the Marine detachment that just transferred in. There should be one hundred and fifty files, all up dated. I did their inoculations and standard check ups before they shipped off for shore leave. That was two weeks ago and no one has reported anything adverse. But still something to look out for when they come in for their check ups in two days." Cassandra explained as she offered first her hand out to the doctor and then after shaking her hand offered the data padd.

Hello, Doctor and thank you for these files. She said as she handed them to Della who added them to Sickbay systems files.

Contessa looked up as she said.. "Anything else?"

"Yes, actually Id like to request permission to perhaps help with the work load here in sickbay is that is permittable to you" Cassi asked.

"We will add your file to our Emergency Triage, and staff for times when needed and also for times when you have free time and wish to put in Medical time ..."

"Yes, thank you. I was stuck on a low tech colony for a while so it will be nice to get caught back up with the everything. The Major is very lenient on my schedule in regards to medical duties so feel free to schedule me as needed and I will just forward it to him." Cassandra explained. She tried not to think about how in that same colony she had spent the last few months of it scraping the bodies of her friends and crewmates off the rocks. well what was left of them. She swallowed hard. No do think about that. Its over, it done, move forward. Stay now. Yes. She smiled at the Doctor. "How soon do you think before I could get started?"

"Well I have brought with me my own specs equipment, state of the art running on less alloys in older equipment , I recommend you pull a few shifts with myself and my Nurse Practioner Della Street."

"I can be ready with in the hour. I just need to go stow my gear and square away my bunk. A quick clean up and Ill be right back up." Cassandra offered it was hard to mask the eagerness in her tone.

Della Street, Nurse Practioner made notes and the schedule amended. She noted the CMO's calm demeanor... Doctor McQueen, she knew of three classified missions that Street had also been on. Planet Hades as she referred to it had been nearly a year of knee deep in muck, blood and guts. The heat so pervasive, the enemy dug in and continued bombardment. McQueen had been the rock for the entire Medical teams...

McQueen nodded to Cassandra. "Wear scrubs. You will want to be comfortable. "

"Yes ma'am thank you ma'am. I'll go now. thank you again." Cassi said turning to leave. She could already feel that humming energy that came with the idea of doing what she loved. Helping people. It took the edge off the knife of grief.

"Anytime. That is what we are here for."
