Cassidy smirked as the ensign eased him toward the biobed. Ellis seemed to treat him like an injured rhinoceros, speaking in a gentle tone and moving very deliberately. He must have looked pretty bad.
"Chief Pax, I need to take a look at you brother. All kinds of things might be going on, and the quicker I see what's happening inside that big ol' body o' yours, the better you'll be to take over this clown show?" Ellis attempted to smile, but Cassidy thought he saw a flash of fear in his eyes. "You with me?”
“You’re out of uniform, ensign,” Cassidy rasped as he laid back on the biobed. His injuries lit up with a searing pain, like he was lying down on top of a hot stove. He squinted up at the harsh overhead lights. “I’ll let you off with a warning this time.”
If I’m a rhino, might as well stomp around a little bit, he thought. He hoped that Ellis wouldn’t take him too seriously. He’d apologize later, when he felt better.
As Ellis began his examination, Nurse Zihr approached and delivered his initial briefing.
“Doctor Ellis, my initial scans show second-degree burns on the exposed skin and first-degree burns where the uniform covered. I believe there’s also some thermal damage to the airways.”
Cassidy nodded and flashed a thumbs up toward the Andorian, thankful that he didn’t have to speak any more than necessary. This was a good opportunity to see his team from a patient’s perspective, though he wished it were under better circumstances.
