<code>::</code>Mrs Courtney had been one of the most anal instructors Eric had had during his academy days.  He respected her and he was always sure to address her as Mrs Courtney rather than as sir or madam.  Whenever someone had tried to address her using the formalities of Starfleet address she would promptly interrupt, "I am a married woman of great influence.  You will address me as Mrs. Courtney."  Fair enough.

<code>::</code>Tyriden looked like he was still lost in thought.  A dreamer.  Eric had met a few of those in his time too.  Dreamers came in all kinds of colours, shapes, and sizes.  Some were running from themselves.  Others were running into themselves.  Some even liked to stop and smell the oneironautic flowers growing in their own heads for no reason.  It had taken Eric a long time to learn the art of daydreaming without anyone noticing.  That kid in the academy, the Breeman fellow, had a tough time of it.  He'd sometimes be sitting there studying his replicator theory and on his third cup of coffee laughing all the while about some silly thing or other that had wafted his way from who knew where inside his head.  That made people a bit leery of him.  Of course he didn't notice.  He was a dreamer.  But Eric noticed.::

<B>Redfield:</b> Oh good.  My name is Alexander Redfield ::He brought out a hand to shake Eric's and Tyriden's:: So what brings you two here at this time?
<B>Tyriden:</b>  To read.
<code>::</code>It was true.  He was here to read.  But neither of them had done a lot of that so far.::
<B>Redfield:</b> Oh really thats Intresting, I'm here to catch up on some of my medical skills.
<code>::</code>Now that was interesting.  Why would someone find reading in the library interesting?  Eric decided to find out sometime later.::
<B>Da'Pan:</b>  Catch up?
<B>Tyriden:</b> I have made an appointment for my prelim physical at 0800 hours tomorrow in Sickbay. Would you be doing my physical?
<code>::</code>Eric decided to listen as the two got to talking about the medical examination.  If Tyriden was self conscious about not having gone for his mandatory physical yet the fact that Eric hadn't either and was sitting right in front of the new medical officer was great evidence that Tyriden had nothing to worry about.  Actually the last time he'd tried to get anyone to perform any medical procedure on him was when he'd tried to get that inebriated doctor in the Free Spirit to give him a hypospray to boost his confidence in himself.  It hadn't worked but it was worth a try.
Well, it was time to see how conscientious the new medical officer was.::
<B>Rogers:</b> =/\= Mr Redfield. Please report to the Bridge. =/\=
<code>::</code>Darn, he'd been called away.::
<B>Da'Pan:</b>  It was nice meeting you Mr. Redfield.
Redield/Tyriden:  Responses?
<B>Da'Pan:</b>  I like folk music.
