ST Fic: New in Town
A true drabble written from Christine Chapel's perspective for dreamflower02 for this drabble-requesting meme.
(STOP BY AND REQUEST A DRABBLE. FIVE OPEN SPOTS! :-D)
(Before you all come and stone me, these are Christine Chapel's thoughts very early in her tenure on the Enterprise, not her final assessment. And for all you not-completely-obsessed-with-ST:TOS readers, Chapel joined the Enterprise crew essentially to hitch a ride to the remote station where her fiance, Roger Korby, was stationed. :-) )
New in Town
She’d been in pediatrics before this.
Caring for children with nasty stomach bugs did not prepare her for the bizarre ailments Enterprise crewmembers contracted on away missions. And she’d nearly been sick herself after she saw the casualties from that radiation related accident down in Engineering.
But the biggest shock was her new supervisor. She used to feel mildly embarrassed whenever Dr. Markowitz put on Groucho Marx glasses to distract a fussy patient, but now she’d gladly wear a pair herself if she thought it would stop Dr. McCoy shouting at that Vulcan, Mr. Spock.
Roger had better be grateful.
