AN: Okay, so this was supposed to be up ages ago, but I got distracted. From the bottom of my heart, let me just say: my bad. To make up for it (sort of) I'll post the last ficlet up today as well.
CW: brief mention of severe physical injuries
Prompt: Write a story in letter form.
ATTN: All Enterprise crew members.
As many of you are aware, there has been a sharp increase in medical incidents within the last six months. These incidents include, but are not limited to:
· Regression of mental and/or physical age and ability
· Encounters with flora and fauna resulting in heretofore un-encountered illnesses, infestations, and physical changes
· And serious physical injuries [stabbings, gunshot wounds, loss of digits, etc.]
Due to the continually hostile nature of our surroundings during this five year mission, all crew members are henceforth required to attend a mandatory seminar entitled "Gloves, Goggles, and Grits," sponsored by Chief Medical Officer McCoy and Nurse Chapel. The presentation, alternately titled "How Not to Kill Your Captain" will be offered half an hour after the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma shifts on stardate 2261.190. Crew members are expected to attend the session offered directly after the conclusion of their shift.
The events documented within this ship-wide announcement will proceed as indicated unless countermanded directly by CMO McCoy.
Distributed by authority of Dr. Leonard Horatio McCoy, Chief Medical Officer aboard Starship USS Enterprise.
