LIEUTENANT HIKARU SULU
FORMERLY OF THE USS ENTERPRISE
---» OPR » 006 » 107

video | text | voice | action

I like to think you're not like our dear captain Jim, and thus don't avoid the medbay and play a game of telling me you were really busy when you weren't. Be that as it may, about ten different birdies told me you work in just about every department and at least I can believe you're busy when you say you are.

[ pause. ]

However, I am not above pulling my rank as both your superior officer, lieutenant, but as the chief medical officer on the Enterprise, to make you get down to the medbay within the next week so I can have a look at you.

[ lbr sulu's first thought is oh shit it's the cops ]

I had a physical recently, sir, at the captain's request. The documentation should be on file.

[ that is a completely legit thought sulu. be thankful no one's singing that theme song right now. ]

I've read it. I wasn't the one doing the exam, wanna guess how valid I find it, Mr. Sulu?

[ there's a pause. ]

The medical team is capable. They cleared me.

[ danger will robinson danger ]

[ fuck the danger. you're just straight up fucked, bro. ]

I know how capable they are. [ not as capable as me. ] I didn't. And that makes a world of difference, lieutenant.

[ there's a long pause that's frankly damning. sulu can't think of a way to get out of this. mccoy's persistent. it is known. ]

I don't have time for another exam.

[ a little pleading, but it's an admission of defeat. ]

[ it's damning in ways that mccoy's pretty sure even heavy duty sinners find bad. ]

I'll catch you on a shift if I have to. [ why are all these motherfucking starfleet officers making him make house calls. ]

Or coming off of one. Since you do sleep at some point, don't you? [ there is no answer that's good here, sulu, don't answer it. ]

[ sulu doesn't sleep, not without someone pressuring him to. but he's not admitting that. ]

Sir...

[ sulu sounds more or less at a loss. what do. ]

[ good job, sulu. gold star for you. ]

This is where you say, of course Doctor McCoy, I'll come down as soon as I can because you asked so nicely.

[ :') ]

[ there's a disgruntled noise that does not sound as if sulu is agreeing that those words were what he had in mind. ]

I'll be down after my shift in Engineering.

[ and bones just sounds just pleased as punch. ]

Like I said, I'll give you within the week. Just give me a heads up. And tell whoever you're going to next that you'll be late.

[ bones stop sounding pleased. ]

[ this is the opposite of what he wanted. ]

I don't need the week. I'll get it over with today.

[ this should not sound like he's heading to a firing squad, and yet. ]

[ and yet. ]

I'll see you then. And cheer up, if you're good, maybe I'll give you a lollipop at the end. Or a gold star.

[ not sorry. ]
