Tendi's Here
“Oh boy! This is going to be great!” Tendi chirped excitedly carrying a medkit. “Doctor T’Ana chose me to work at one of Dessica II’s field hospitals to help treat patients during the aqueduct reconstruction. Me! All by myself! I must’ve really caught her eye. Oooh, maybe I’ll be able to treat people suffering from dehydration and malnourishment. That would be so cool! Well, no living being’s suffering is cool, but the opportunity to help and treat them is. That’s what being in Starfleet is all about!”
Tendi smiled and happily skipped down Dessica II’s streets while heading to her new assignment. “Ah, I can’t wait to justify Doctor T’Ana’s faith in me. I’ll show everyone just how awesome and rewarding a career in the sciences can be! My outstanding medical feats will become known for light-years around. They’ll see. They’ll see!”
Tendi grinned with her eyes twinkling in anticipation. “The name on everybody's lips is gonna be, Tendi!” She tapped at her collar imagining a possible promotion. “The lady wearing double pips is gonna be, Tendi!”
“Well done, Lieutenant,” Doctor T’Ana’s approving image appeared in her head. “I knew I could count on you.”
“I will excel! While in Medical! Reading bio-data on displays!” Tendi declared with determination. “And then I’ll diagnose their woes! With scans and probes and hyposprays!”
Tendi laughed and began happily twirling about down the street. “While serving proudly in Starfleet I'm gonna be, Tendi! Healing my patients with a cheer!”
“Ahhh!” Several Dessican locals yelped while just barely managing to avoid being run over by a spinning, dancing Tendi. “Hey, watch where you’re going!”
“Greeting each new wonderous day! With a call heard throughout Sickbay!” An oblivious Tendi smiled spreading her arms wide. “Tendi’s here!” She smiled and waved to an unseen group of individuals. “Guys…”
“They're gonna wait outside in line!” A team of science ensigns suddenly appeared and indicated a group of injured patients idling outside the upcoming field hospital. “To get to see…”
“Tendi!” Tendi sang happily. “Think of those neurons I'll align!” She mimed doing so. “Work performed by, Tendi!”
“Hey look!” The line of patients noticed Tendi’s arrival. “She’s here! She’s here!”
“An officer with a tricorder! Who can analyze things on the spot!” Tendi beamed proudly.
“Here a chirp, there a hum, everywhere a-beep-a-rum!” The team of ensigns chanted mimicking medical device noises.
“Whose skills and mind are always hot!” Tendi grinned.
“Yay!” The crowd of patients cheered.
“Aw, this is great!” Tendi smiled basking in the crowd’s anticipated affection. “All my patients will like me! And I’ll like them! And they’ll like me for helping them! And I’ll like them for helping me! And we’ll all help each other! And that's because all of us like helping out others in need! Because we’re Starfleet! Yay!”
“Everyone’s favorite medic!” The team of science ensigns saluted in unison.
“Is gonna be…” Tendi grinned. “Sing it!”
“Tendi!” Both ensigns and patients roared. “Performing duties without fear!”
“Each day I will work ceaselessly! To be the best that I can be!” A smiling Tendi vowed as the crowd lifted her onto their shoulders. She waved at them all in triumph. “TENDI’S HEEEEEERE!”
“Tendi!” The crowd of ensigns and patients chanted. “Tendi! Tendi! Tendi!”
“Thank you, thank you!” Tendi waved back blushing. “This is all too much really. All part of serving in Starfleet. I haven’t even done anything yet.”
“Tendi! Tendi! Tendi!” The crowd roared louder and louder. “HEY YOU! ENSIGN TENDI!”
“Huh?” Tendi blinked snapping out of her fantasy. She realized she had finally arrived at the field hospital.
“About time you got here,” An annoyed-looking Dessican doctor grumbled. “I need you to clean out all the old dirt from the pots and seed beds in Bay Three.”
“Pots? Dirt? Seeds?” Tendi repeated looking confused. She gazed around and found herself surrounded by various types of flora and agricultural crops. “Uh, am I in the right place?”
“Of course you are,” The Dessican doctor said. “This is the local field plant hospital for this region. We need to care for all the plants and make sure they’ll survive long enough until the aqueduct system is repaired.
“Wait, so I have basically been assigned to be a gardener?” Tendi gasped in shock. “That’s great! I love it!”
“Yeah, yeah,” The Dessican doctor waved. “Just get to work cleaning out those pots. And don’t forget to mix plenty of fertilizer with the new dirt. It’s all-naturally produced manure.”
“Okay!” Tendi chirped happily grabbing a pair of gloves before throwing herself into the task. “Ah, the glorious life of being a Starfleet scientist! You gotta love it!”
