With their arrival aboard the Elysium Freya made her way directly to Sickbay to have her partially treated wounds tended. Given that she was starting to feel a lot of pain once again she was glad to have arrived where she could see a doctor. Walking into Sickbay she looked around offering a smile as she approached a large Gorn Officer.

The gorn was shocked by what walked into his sickbay. HIs artificial arms scanner had already begun working as he walked over and illuminated her with it's blue glow. " My dear, what happened to you?" He enquired as he beckoned her to one of the biobeds.

“I was manning a console that blew up on me” Freya offered a brief smile. “I was tended by a very old EMH but the pain relief is most definitely wearing off now!”

" Must have been a very old EMH a firssst-year medical ssstudent could do a better job. " the gorn said as he reached one of the beds. " Take a ssseat misssss sssorry i didn't get your name." He equired looking at the young woman.

“I’m sorry it’s Freya Savette, I’m the new Drax exchange officer.” She offered a warm smile.

" Nice to meet you Freya. I'm Sssthilg the chief medical doctor of thisss fine ssship. " The gorn said with a warm smile as he injected her with a hypospray of painkillers.

Freya sighed as the pain killers went in. “It’s nice to meet you Sthilg. So how bad is it really?”

" Nothing i can't fix my dear. I've been doing thisss for nearly two hundred yearsss. " The gorn said as he pulled his medical kit from his coat. " Jussst lay back and let me fix you."

“You’ll get no argument from me!” Freya smiled feeling better now the painkillers were kicking in. Hopping up onto the biobed she lay back and let the Gorn doctor get on with his work.

The gorn drew a deep tissue regenerator from his kit and got to work. Like the lizard, the tool was very old yet well maintained and worked with an edge that only a skilled operator could use to perfection. " So how did thisss happen exactly?" he inquired.

“The ship I was on was taking fire” Freya sighed. “I was sitting right in front of a console that blew. It threw me half way across the deck!”

" Who were you being attacked by? " He inquired as his hands worked his artificial one adjusting and moving into positions not possible with a real hand.

“Pirates!” Freya smiled. “They were after my... boyfriend’s cargo. Fortunately he’s quite the pilot!”

" Mussst have been quite sssome cargo. Isss your boyfriend on the ssship asss well?" The gorn asked as he swapped tools for one to regenerate the burn layer.

Freya nodded. “Yes he is, Kaden Ross he’s the new bartender.” She grinned. “He’s decided to take up a less stressful career option.”

" Wasss he injured in the attack?" Sthilg asked changing to another instrument

“Fortunately not” Freya smiled. “Kaden is... a tough cookie. He got us to safety, a good job really.”

" Any idea what they were after? " the gorn inquired. The fact there were pirates operating in the area was rather disturbing.

“Kaden seemed to think that it was his supply of alcohol and mixers for his new career.” Freya grinned. “Changing the subject for a moment... would you sort my boarding medical while I’m here please?”

" Off courssse i can get it done. Do you have recoredsss of your lassst checkup?" THe gorn inquired as he switched on the biobeds medicle scanner.

“I have my medical records from at home on Drax, this is my first assignment as Consul aboard a Federation ship.” Freya reached into her pocket and held up a data crystal.

One of the gorns artificial fingers opened up as it took the crystal before inserting it into a port on his wrist computer. " His white eyes glanched to it as he reached for another instrument. " My my your keeping yourself rather healthy." He said looking over the results.

“With my family history and abilities it’s a requirement.” She shrugged her shoulders. “On my world I’m a Princess not that I want that title, I’m just happy being me!” She grinned. “As for my abilities I guess you’d compare me to a Betazoid but I’m more powerful.”

" My people have an elected monarchy." the gorn replied realizing just how long it had been since he'd been in his people's space. " Ssstill you've been cared for well. Becoussse of the wound I can only clear you for light duty at the moment I'm afraid."

“That’s fine, thank you Doctor” Freya smiled warmly. “So do you have family onboard?”

" I do." The gorn said his face lighting up. " The chief counssselor is my adoptive daughter and along with her husssband, they have Conner and are expecting a daughter any day now. Can't help, but feel nervous, happy, and terrified a the sssame time."

“I can imagine” Freya smiled warmly. “Speaking of baby’s can you please refresh my birth control for me? Kaden will hit the roof if I end up pregnant!” She sighed. “As much as I’d like children it’s not happening just yet.”

" Off courssse my dear. " The gorn said as he tapped a few buttons to start replicating the needed drug. " When you do want to start looking into having children feel free to contact me. One of my ssspecialtiesss isss xeno conception.”

“I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen, but if it does I’ll be here” Freya smiled warmly.

The gorn gave her a warm smile as he placed his tool back in his kit. " Okay, that'sss all i can do at the moment. The next is up to you. Try moving your armsss for me." The gorn added as he checked over his work. All that was left was for the faint remains of the burns to heal naturally.

Freya cautiously moved her arms relieved to feel no pain. “That is Ohh so much better! Thank you doctor.”

The gorn picked up a small bottle of cream from the replicator. " I want you to apply thisss to the burn area twice a day for two weeksss." he said handing it over to her.

“Thank you, I’ll make sure I do that.” Freya smiled warmly as she sat up on the biobed.

The gorn stood up and went to the main replicator before he returned with a one-shot hypospray. " Your birth control my dear." He said handing it over.

“Thank you, that’s great. Is it a long acting hypo or will I need to return for more?” She smiled.

"One-week ssshot." The gorn added. " Would you like me to ssstart a prescription you can get it ssstraight from your quarter'sss replicator?"

“That would be wonderful, thank you” Freya smiled and nodded.

The gorn tapped his wrist-mounted computer for a few seconds before giving her a warm smile. " All done."

“Brilliant!” Freya grinned. “Thank you for your time Doctor, I appreciate it.”

" Take care my dear." The old gorn said as the new arrival headed for the door.
