Cassidy turned the hatch of the autoclave, retrieving another set of freshly-sterilized tools. Most department heads would have left this work to a junior officer, and he would, but he wanted to make sure that everything was set properly in order during this first mission. That way, there would be a template to copy.
Large hospital ships such as the Reyes, where he spent his last posting, boasted dedicated decks for exams, surgery, and other medical functions. The multi-purpose nature of the Yeager’s sickbay necessitated that Cassidy be judicious with his space. Luckily, organization was a particular specialty of his. He slotted the last tray slotted into place on a shelf along the back wall. Every tool was sorted according to function, every instrument calibrated to the finest level of detail. Cassidy tended to have an easygoing personality, but he was obsessive about his workspace. His colleagues aboard the Reyes used to warn new doctors about the lethal consequences of misplacing one of Cassidy's instruments. These were exaggerations, though they were based in truth.
I’ll let ‘em off easy the first time someone screws with the system. Don’t want to scare anyone.
Cassidy’s eyes drifted to biobed number 3, which was partially disassembled. He intended to retrofit it to interface with his cybernetic implants. That would require marrying Riani technology to the complicated mishmash of systems already present on the Yeager, and that would require a better engineer than Cassidy. Until then, he would need to take care not to damage any of his metal.
Satisfied, Cassidy took a seat behind the desk in his office and waited for the rest of his staff to arrive. He hoped that they would have some time to get to know each other before dealing with any emergencies.
