Seán's POV

It didn't take long to get everyone together since discovering we can switch between direct contact with the group and our partners using the suit coms. Now that I think of it N/N was asleep when we found out. She also doesn't know our cameras remain outside the sleeping quarters unless more then three people enter at once, though I'm sure she'll notice when she comes out.

After everyone was settled down I started pulling out the items from one of the full medical kits, not really knowing what to do until N/N comes to give me instruction.

"Why are we all here again?" Sam asked, sounding rather irritated.

"N/N thinks it would be a good idea to make sure no one is sick or hurt or anything. And since she agreed to teach me I'm gonna help her when she's done changing and comes up."

Marzia perked up, seemingly ready to be examined immediately.

"Who's going first?" She asked.

"She didn't tell me who she thought we should start with."

"You're Training right? Who do you think should start?" Felix questioned.

Nervously rubbing the back of my neck I wonder if I have the 'instincts' to make the right decisions.

"Well.. I mean Marzia is pregnant so it would make sense to start with her right? Looking out for her and her kid would be the smartest route I think."

"You'd be correct."

I turn around to see N/N carefully climbing the last few steps of the ladder into the room, a somewhat proud look on her face.

"See? I told you you have a good instinct!" She lightly slaps my shoulder in approval.

"Everyone else can hang out in they're rooms or down the ladder until it's your turn, for privacy's sake."

It's interesting seeing her switch into professional mode so easily. She stands taller, more confident looking, with a friendly smile on her face and a serious somewhat professional aura. I watch her walk to the fabricator and make a PDA, something I didn't realize we had the blueprints for. I watch her fiddle with the tool until she understands how it works and watch her create a pass code for a large file named "Med. Records" after adding a file with everyone's names inside of it. She calmly walks over to Marzia and motions for me to stand by her.

"Alright, is it okay if I have Seán do the exam with me instructing him?"

"Yeah, sure. As long as you're making sure it's going alright."

"Wonderful!"

She turns her head to Felix, who's looking a bit on edge about the situation.

"You alright?"

"Yeah.. Uhm. Is it okay if I stay here with her?"

"Of course, you're her partner and I'm assuming emergency contact back home."

Felix visibly relaxes before thanking her and stepping back so we can do the exam. N/N has Marzia sit on the floor before turning to me.

"So, the first thing is to ask the basic questions. I'll ask this time and you can from the next one onward alright?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Alright Marzia, do you know your height and weight?"

I stand close as she shows me how to input the information into the new files. She asked more questions about how she's feeling and if she's having any changes or symptoms to her normal state of being. After finding out if she took any medicine before we ended up here and how the lack of medicine has affected her she steps off to the side.
