Before Mabren could really bury himself into his review of the crews medical files, the doors to sickbay swished open. Getting up from his desk, Mabren noticed the visitor; "Hello Warrant, here for your physical?"

"You caught me Lieutenant" Sam replied, jokingly.

Smiling, Mabren gestured to the empty biobeds, "Make your choice."

Sam jumped up onto the nearest one "You know this is the thirty first one of these I've had this year?"

Grabbing the medical tricorder out of his smock, Mabrens' eyebrows rose in surprise, "Well, what have you been doing to deserve so many, Warrant?" he asked.

"There was a little problem at Starfleet Medical, during the finals no less. I couldn't fix the holoprojectors in time so I got roped in to be a patient." Sam grinned "How nervous were you when it got to that bit?"

Looking over the readings, Mabren was pleased, everything was within specs, but he'd have to compare the readings with those on file to note what has changed. "Well," Mabren said, beginning to answer the Warrant, "Lets just say that if I was a little less nervous, I'd probably have ended up graduating higher in the class."

Turning away from the officer, Mabren walked over to the central console and uploaded the scans and began to compare the scan with the baseline. "Well, Warrant," Mabren said, before looking up at him with a smile, "As I'm sure your aware, your still in perfect health."

"Such a shocker that eh Lieutenant?" Sam again joked.

"Yes, exactly," Mabren agreed, enjoying the atmosphere, "I was expecting to find you horribly, horribly sick."

"Sorry to disappoint you there Doc, next time I'll try come back a little bit sicker!"

Smiling, Mabren said, "Well, thats what we're here for."

"Well, fun as this has been Doc, I believe there's a sensor calibration test that is awaiting my tender touch, so if it's okay with you..." he trailed off

"Of course, Warrant;" Mabren said, "We're all finished here. Thank you for being so punctual."

"No dramas Doc, thanks for getting this out of the way."

"Yes, drama is a bit overrated," Mabren said, "I don't really want to do a 'roundup.'"

Sam laughed as he hopped off of the bed. "See you around Doc."

"Of course, Warrant," Mabren said, watching the older man leave sickbay, "Have a good one."

"You too sir" Sam called back through the door as he left. 'A pleasant chap' he thought to himself.

After the doors swished closed, Mabren went back into his office, hoping to actually make some progress on the medical records.
