ON:

Amelia entered the transporter room to find the chief standing by. "One standing by to transport from The Europa."

She had quickly read through Lieutenant Kuorka's records, but she had never served with a Caitian before. She had considered getting a cat but that was a thought she was going to keep to herself.

"Energise."

C'Tora closed his eyes as he felt the transporters energy start tingling all over his body and kept his eyes closed until the sensation stopped. When his eyes opened he could see the transporter chief and a Lieutenant standing by the console. He stepped off the transporter pad and held forth the data pad with his transfer orders. "Greetings." he said with a toothy smile. " I am Lieutenant C'Tora Kuroka. It is a pleasure to serve." As he slightly inclined his head. " you may call me C'Tora. And whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?" as he extended his hand with a smile.

Amelia returned the smile as she accepted the PADD with her left hand and shook his hand with her right. "Welcome aboard The Andromeda. I'm Lieutenant Amelia Fox, the first officer. If you'll come with me I'll show you to your quarters."

"Thank you." C'Tora smiled. "I shall be happy to be shown to my quarters. This will give me some time to ask a few questions." As he gave The XO a side glance and a grin. " Such as how many officers and crew do we have? How many families do we have onboard? and my personal favorite question, When was the last time the crew and senior staff had their annual medical exams?" He asked with a slight chuckle. " You know us Doctors aren't happy unless we're poking and prodding someone."

Amelia decided she liked the new medical officer straight away. She led the way out of the transporter room. As they walked along the corridor "Presently we have just over one thousand two hundred people on board. Two hundred officers. Two hundred or so civilians with about sixty families. We currently have several guests onboard including 2 Orions and in the Brig, there is my counterpart from the mirror universe who tried to take over the ship a few weeks ago by impersonating me.

"Lieutenant Fox's last statement froze him in his tracks for an instant before he quickly caught up to her once again." Excuse me? Did you say you have a mirror universe counterpart that tried to take over the ship?" He asked in almost disbelief. " As in you have an evil twin aboard this ship and tried to impersonate you?" His mouth opened then closed quickly. That is a star fleet offense impersonating a star fleet officer and trying to steal a federation ship could wind you up in a federation penal colony for a very long time." He thought a moment before speaking again. " If you'd like, I could put a benign tracker in her food supplement which would bind to her stomach lining, It would then be simple to tell the two of you apart with a simple tricorder scan should she manage to escape her confinement." His whiskers twitched briefly. "And if the Orions are greens and they become a problem,I can give them a hypospray which would temporally suppress they're pheromones if needed. Just give me the word and it shall be done."

"I believe the Pheromone suppressant has been discussed with the Captain who doesn't want to force it upon them. As for the tracker for Mirror Fox would it cause complications with pregnancy?" Amelia asked as they walked. "Not only did she try and commandeer the ship but she forcibly extracted some DNA from.... one of the crew and impregnated herself with it. She's using this and the promise of helping us with the Cetea as a bargaining strategy. It appears she sold them a lot of weapons and the Planet killer we are following. The Captain is currently keeping her in the brig while her claims are investigated."

Amelia patted her own stomach "On a happier note, in about nine months there will be another addition to the crew."

C'Tora nodded." Fine, pheromone suppression is out, not a problem. And as for the tracker, it is completely benign and would cause no complications. It is one hundred percent safe for the fetus or I would not have suggested it." His emerald eyes blinked and ears flattened for a moment before returning to normal." Any creature under my care shall not be harmed,especially an innocent. The only creature that need fear me is the one trying to harm a patient of mine or one that is being hunted for food." C'Tora pulled out a medical tricorder and scanned Amelia's stomach. " Well it seems congratulations are in order." He said with a smile. " Starting today we will set up an appointment for you every two weeks for a check up exam to monitor the pregnancies progression and make sure you and the baby are doing well. These exams should take only a minute and you can be on your way. And if you have any questions please feel free to contact me any time of the day or night. And I do mean anytime."

Amelia stopped outside the new CMO’s quarters. “These are your quarters. I’let you get settled in. The Captain is no doubt looking forward to meeting you.” She smiled warmly at him. “The baby’s father is Vulcan. Will that cause any special requirements?”

C'Tora inclined his head as a gesture of gratitude. " Thank you for showing me to my quarters,you have been most kind and accommodating. It shouldn't take me long to unpack and I will go and check in with the Captain." He tilted his head to the side and looked at Amelia. " Half Vulcans are rare in the federation but not unheard of. Human and Vulcan physiology are quite compatible, and I foresee no complications with the pregnancy. If there are it should be easy to remedy, so nothing for you to worry about." He said with his most reassuring smile.

Amelia breathed a small sigh of relief. "Well that's good to know. It was nice meeting you Doctor, if you need me I'll be on the bridge."
