OOC: Hope you don't mind Jess, I sent this to make it in time for the deadline. :)

Alexander was seated in his chair behind his desk, leaning back and tapping his digital pen on the desktop rhythmically. Slowly but surely he'd gotten use to transparent walls of the office and now the ability to see what the staff was doing around him had become very appealing. He had to stop himself at times when he found himself mesmerized by the movement and goings-on of the staff just to get some work done. Luckily things were still quiet, but there were a lot of new staff that needed to be processed and introduced. He had found the time to meet most of them, with the exception of Lieutenant Nanee Quiocho, his Deputy Chief. From all accounts and records she was clearly a capable doctor, but what interested Alexander was the fact that she was related to the former Chief Medical Officer, Commander MaiKai Rodgers (née Quiocho). He had met Dr. Rodgers only once and wondered if Nanee Quiocho was anything like her.

Nanee walked through the main doors of Sickbay and started looking around for any helpful face. She really had no idea what to expect being her first time on a starship and all. Nanee really didn't have the time she would've hoped in order to discuss the matter over with her cousin to make her fell more at ease.
She walked over to what she hoped would come to be an information desk of sorts. The nurse sitting behind the desk only held up one finger for the 'one moment' signal. Nanee always hated to admit it, but she, like her cousin, was impatient. Not so much like Mai, she had more patience than her, but nevertheless: impatient.
"Speak of the devil," Alexander said as he looked up and spotted Nanee. He recognized her from her database file. He quickly got up and walked out of his office. "Dr Quoicho," he called out as he approached her.
Nanee rotated about following the sound of her name. She felt more like she had just walked in a circle when she found the owner of the masculine voice.
"Dr Rice," Alexander greeted her with a smile, offering his hand. "Good to meet you."
"It's good to meet you too, sir," Nanee smiled mildly as she took his warm hand in hers. Though she was anxious to get to work, she unlike Mai, was very shy and always seemed to make a fool of herself in front of her peers and now felt herself growing self-conscious.
"Welcome to Chimera's Sickbay," Alexander said. "It can seem a little big and imposing, but I'm sure you'll settle in right away."
"I'm sure I'll manage sir," Nanee assured him. She wanted to sound as confident as possible, but was afraid it was coming out all wrong.
Alexander walked towards the middle of the room and clapped his hands loudly twice. "Can I have your attention please everyone? I'd like you to welcome Dr Quiocho, she is our Deputy Chief. That means when I'm not around, she's the boss."
Nanee cleared her throat then spoke up, "It's my pleasure to be here on the Chimera and I hope to get know all of you well". She smiled then turned to Dr. Rice.
"Let me show you to your office," he said as they walked through the main area towards his office. "This area is where our offices and the private exam rooms are. The big goldfish bowl to your left is my office. Yours is a little smaller but not quite as exposed."
Nanee was thankful that her office wasn't as out in the open like his was. She felt that if she had an office like that it would be unsettling. "Thank you, sir. I'm sure it's just as efficient," she hoped she was coming off content because the office size really didn't bother her at all. "Is there anything I should be aware of or become familiar with? I mean- that is- Am I coming in the middle of something that I need to be briefed on?" Nanee hated feeling out of the loop. Even though she was the quite type that kept mostly to herself, she still like to know most of what was going on.
"We're running physicals of the crew at the moment, that's basically all that's been going on," Alexander said. "Like I mentioned, we have several new staff in Sickbay who need to settle in, but I'm sure everyone will feel at home in no time. I have a senior officers' meeting to attend soon which—" he glanced at the chronometer on the wall of Nanee's office and realised that the meeting would be starting soon. "—will be starting in a few minutes. I'll have a clearer indication of what the command team wants from us when I get back. Until then, you're in charge."
