McCoy looked up to see Lieutenant Arex before him. The Edosian was a rare guest in his sickbay.
"What is the problem?"
The Edosian just smiled gently and nodded down.
McCoy groaned. His patient stood on 2 feet, the third carefully lifted and his ankle was left in an angle that was certainly not natural.
He called for Nurse Chapel and helped the navigator to the next bio-bed.
"How did you manage that?"
"Fencing with Sulu."
And there stood Sulu in the background, he had been the one to bring Arex in and wanting to know how bad is was.
It wasn't as if this was the first fencing accident Sulu had been involved in. The problem of the pilot was that there was nobody else as good as him on the ship and while he was careful with novices he couldn't completely compensate the uncoordinated reactions of somebody else.
"You know Hikaru, you don't have to create work for me. I'm happy with an empty sickbay, let me tell you."
Arex laughed lightly, Sulu seemed to sink into himself even more.
