Chapter Two Venture

Star Fleet Command

Earth Main Complex

Commodore Thomas Weller's Office

It would be early afternoon. When the Commodore had received word the U.S.S. Dear Born had left Earth's orbit to meet up with Science Officer Savin shuttle craft.

Now he needed to wait for further orders on where to send them for now. Even though he'd plenty of ships out on patrol for the moment near the Romulan and Klingon neutral zones.

He wasn't liking the rumors once again. That trouble might be brewing. Even though Star Fleet currently has a truce in the works with the Romulan home world.

He didn't need to get excited at this point in time. Even though only just rumors. However he didn't wish to have his pants caught down. Just in case of trouble.

Going over all of his communications left on his desk and computer terminal. He needed to take in a deep breath for the moment before continuing his work.

In sick bay. Captain William Kirk arrived finally. One of the nurses would be waiting for him to have his physical done. She'd shown him the table she choose to use. Knowing the fact Dr. Elders would join them shortly.

When the tech had said for the captain to just take off his uniform top. Dr. Elders will be here in a moment.

She'd continued on with her work. While she was watching him removing his shirt to show off his biceps and other parts of his upper body. Thinking. Ensign Marie Thomas was a lucky lady to be his wife.

Dr. Elders walked in with his clipboard in his hands to make notice for now. Instead of using the medical scanner to write in the readings.

With a grin on his face. He says. "All right Captain up and adam. Hopefully this won't take too long. Though I can sense the fact William, you have gain a few pounds. Your going to need to lose a few pounds to stay fit as a fiddle."

"You sound like our science officer Savin at times. He is basically a vegetarian, unlike myself. Being more of a meat and Potato type of guy." William replied.

"And no doubt Savin would no doubt agree with you, Captain." Dr. Elders snorted with his replied in this particular instance.

"Geez. Dr. Ganging up on me?; All right I will start my diet. When I get the chance." Giving him a curt reply.

"Actually I rather see you get more involved with activities. Like with swimming or fencing instead of the diet." He says with cautioned.

"Very well Doc. I will listen this time to your suggestion until further notice. Since we won't be doing all that much accept wait."

"Good. Now lets begin. I don't have all day." Being some what sarcasm towards the captain and his general exhaustion for the most part.

He would be able to relax a little. While he's here. Maybe he would be able to pry information out of the doctor about his relationship with Sherry.

Going through the usual routine with the doctor. Since it's been three months since his last physical. Just his weight had gone up four pounds. Which is hardly something to scream about.

However when your a ship's captain. You need to be fit. Along with his mental aspect in making snap decisions.

"So Doc. Can I ask you a personal question?"

"Why not. Everyone is eventually going to find out any rate. I suggest you keep this to yourself for now. I don't wish to spook Sherry that everyone on board this vessel will be staring at her every time we are together."

"Oh. Really!" He says lightly with his comment.

"Yes. Someone with clout inside of Star Fleet Command was able to work quickly to have Sherry transfer to the Deer Born. She will no doubt work out well. She has a great deal of experience in the field of communications." Turning around to take an instrument from the medical tray to check the captain's lungs.

"No doubt she will be able to help Lt. Roberts a great deal. Along with the rest of the communications staff."

"All right William. Take a deep deep. I'm going to check your lungs before using the full body scan on you." It would mostly only take a moment to have his results before placing them into his computer terminal. "Relax. I am almost done with the rest of the scan on you. Other than your weight. Your doing really well overall once again." He says with a grin and a yawn.

Five minutes later. The captain is told to place his uniform top back onto him once again.

"Thanks. If you need me for anything else Doc. I will be on the bridge to check in with Commander Donaldson."

"That's just fine Captain. Now get out of here. I have others to check before my first break of the day or rather this watch."

"Sure." He leaves the medical alcove to head for the turbo lift and the bridge. However he was more incline to find out where his wife Marie is currently on the vessel.

Touching the computer console. He goes to ask the computer for the location of Ensign Marie Thomas.

Computer Voice

Ensign Thomas is in the ship's main pool level 22.

"Thanks computer. Level 22. Please.

It would be at this point the turbo lift started to move towards its proper destination.
