The Physician.

Friday 21st February 2183.

"Hey Doc, I'm here for my mandatory physical examination," Cassie said brightly as she stepped into the med-bay for the first time since the incident on Horizon.

"It's not mandatory Commander, just highly recommended for long term servicemen and women." Karin said in the same bright tone. "Alright, as previously mentioned the event on Horizon has changed you on a psychological level, so perhaps a full physical examination is required."

"Perhaps?" Cassie chuckled, taking a seat on the same bed she'd woken up on after Horizon. "There's no perhaps about it Doc, we already know it left some vision in my head, there's no knowing what it did to me physically beside knock me out."

"Alright, I'll give you a full physical, never really known anyone to WANT a physical but there's a first time for everything." Karin said bemused. "Alright, I'm sure you know the drill."

"Down to my 'skivvies', yes doc I do," Cassie stood and slowly undressed. "Most information you need should be in my file."

"Most?" Karin paused. "Are you suggesting your file is incomplete?"

"Partially inaccurate," Cassie smiled. "I'll happily explain if you promise to keep it off record."

"I'm not sure about this," Karin hesitated.

"It'll help you get an accurate diagnosis of my condition, and my file is only incorrect because Admiral Hackett wrote it differently. If you have problems with keeping it private, ensure that ONLY Steven Hackett can access your findings."

"That is a condition I could be amenable to, but I'll therefore need to ask a few questions concerning the grey areas in your file," Karin stated, opening a new file on her datapad, immediately filling in Cassie's name, rank and current status. "Alright, I presume your date of birth, place of birth, and basics of your childhood are all accurate?"

"Sunday 13th January 2154, Thessia, and I didn't enter Human space until after my human mother was killed by Batarian pirates in 2160." Cassie sighed, repeating facts she'd stated multiple times.

Over the next hour Karin continued the routine physical, holding back on asking about the elephant in the room. Once they were done, Karin finally got the confidence to ask the obvious questions.

"That's the physical done, I still have a few questions I'd like to ask, if that's alright," Karin said as she put her datapad down. "But these questions are all off the official record."

"Go right ahead doc, you've already got me down to my boxers, so ask away with the personal questions" Cassie joked.

"What did you mean 'human mother'? Your 'file' states you were raised by two human parents who chose to live with the Asari," Karin immediately asked, the question immediately being blurted out.

"I'm half-human, my 'father' was Human, and she was killed in that pirate attack," Cassie said, taking a seat on the bed again, not bothering to put her bra on yet. "My birth mother was Asari, don't ask how I'm not Asari, it's one of the mysteries of my life."

"That explains a lot considering your natural biotics are stronger than any other human, but it doesn't explain that," Karin thought aloud, before pointing at Cassie's prominent bulge between her legs. "Women born with just male genitalia are almost unheard of, and I've never heard of one being quite so feminine."

"Thank you, and that's probably due to my Asari DNA, but as for why I have a penis, I don't know." Cassie smiled, noting Karin's eyes were fixed on Cassie's breasts.

"I suspect that it's more likely a trait of your humanity Commander, Asari do not have phalluses," Karin muttered, her hand moving cautiously towards Cassie's throbbing member beneath her boxers. "But if both your parents are female, I'm not sure how your phallus could be quite so... big."

"Doc, are you alright?" Cassie asked cautiously, but she suspected what was happening was due to her biotics.

"I can't quite explain it Commander, but I'm..."

"Drawn to me? I'm so sorry but it's one of the side effects I was talking about," Cassie sighed. "Certain women are drawn to me, I'm not entirely sure why or how."

"Do you consider me attractive commander?" Karin asked, a mischievous smile flickering on the mature woman's face. "Because I suspect that those you are drawn to sexually, are in turn drawn to you."

"Are you suggesting something like biotic sexual magnetism? Sounds a little far-fetched."

"Well, Commander," Karin said slowly, running her hand along Cassie's thigh. "The Asari are the most sexual beings in the galaxy, and we humans are very primitive in our instinctual urges; eat, sleep, survive, learn and fornicate. The combination of the two, in a miraculous human body, must mean something, and perhaps biotic magnetism is how it has manifested itself."

"Shall we test your hypothesis doc?" Cassie purred.

"I think it's been proven that it's real," Karin smiled, as the two embraced slowly. "I never thought I'd feel this way after I turned forty, but I was wrong. I thought my best years were behind me in terms of love..."

"Doc, your 'best years' are still to come," Cassie whispered, before kissing her doc on the lips. "And I'm going to prove it!"
