Dr. Penny Featherby

I debated doing these, before I realized it'd be another chance to demonstrate Jim's ~professional side (with some goofy comments here and there) and the fact that these aren't random crew members.  In TOS you get different crew members all the time, but ask Kirk and you bet he knows exactly who they are and some of their likes and what they do on the ship and maybe their dreams.  Sooo.  These are a thing.
Note: I've only seen Los Destinos in terms of telenovelas and it's been long enough desde yo estudiado en escuela I'm only catching random words in the song and am probably writing Spanish incorrectly.  Definitely no idea about the song I just listened to, except for, like I said, random words.  (I'm not sure I can recommend Los Destinos.  I remember being vaguely confused/slightly concerned by it in school, though that might have something to do with the fact we only caught about half of what was going on and weren't allowed to discuss it since we had to write about it after we watched it.  Then again, the sort of topics that show up in telenovelas aren't really my thing in any language, so that's probably a huge part of it.  Any comments on telenovelas, viewers?)

NAME: DOCTOR PENNY FEATHERBY
RANK: LIEUTENANT JUNIOR GRADE
SERVICE NUMBER: SN545-1647SKJ
ASSIGNMENT: USS ENTERPRISE
SIGNATURE: Dr. Penny Featherby

     Probably one of our best doctors for Away Teams.  She’s usually prepared for everything.  Previously, she had been assigned to various hotspots in Federation colonies.  I’ve read her papers on various diseases she helped cure, most indigenous to various newly or recently established colonies; we’re lucky to have her.
     She has OCD and is extremely self-conscious about it.  I hadn’t had a lot of interaction with her before I started assigning her on planetside missions.  I’d heard her have issues with it when we were on one of the Starbases.  I’ve already cleared out most of the crew that thinks Finnegan is a great role model, and now that they’re paying attention there’s the rumor going around that I have eyes in the back of my head.  Which isn’t a bad rep to have as Captain.  Anyway, there was teasing, she wasn’t into it, which is really the signal for ‘stop’.  There’s something wrong with people sometimes, honestly.
     The thing is, this isn’t the twentieth century.  It shouldn’t be an issue now that we’re enlightened.  They’re born with differences in mental condition.  If they can’t help how they’re born then why would anyone discriminate?  I don’t get it.
     I found her awake—I guess she’s used to Beta and Gamma shifts—and confessed that I probably had something that could be classified a mental condition in the terms of the twentieth century, but we’d both learned strategies to deal with it or use it to our advantage.  She just kinda listened.  She’s good at that.  And she seemed more at ease, so you know, worth it.
     She tends to get the most distracted when she’s not working.  Her preparing for every eventuality has saved our lives twice—no, three times now—and I’ve definitely gotten injured less when she’s been on the planet which definitely is making Spock and Uhura and Chris more relaxed.
     She likes Orion telenovelas and, oddly enough, cup noodles made in the classic way.  I can’t have them because I’m allergic, but the replicators can’t make them the same because Starfleet programmed them to be healthier.  She says the ones that are good for you aren’t the same.  (I’m guessing she’s not a nutritionist.)  She can only get them delivered to specific Starbases, and not very often, but I can definitely throw my weight around and get some now and then for morale.
