Timeline   3 Days after Briefing
Mike had just recently raided the armoury for a suit of Klingon armour, and quickly realized that it wasn't going to fit without some serious work. Which required skills that she didn't have, but she knew someone who did.

Mike walked along the corridor down to Tell's workshop, slower that normal with the armour in tow and also the fact that she still had not fully healed yet.

She walked in through the door. "Theresa! Got a moment?" She asked.

Tell had been sorting through some latest acquisitions that she had picked up a while ago but had only just got around to looking at them. "Yeah," the engineer replied turning round to Michelle "What would you like?"

Mike puts the armour on the table. "I need a hand modifying this. I have a few extra things I would like to add to it if possible."

Tell looked at the armour she could think of a few things that would make it better and the ideas were racing through her mind. "We could add some modifications here and here. That would make it more flexible and less restrictive. But it depends on what you want to use it for. I can't picture you wearing this and looking good in it as it is now."

"I'm not too fussed about looks. I mainly need at the moment to protect my back as it still hasn't healed. I was also looking a doing bracing for my legs also, though I have no idea what I'm doing, hence why I came to you." Mike smiled. "Oh, and while I'm here, I'm doing a ship-wide medical examination. I've managed to get most of the senior officers, some were VERY reluctant....till I mentioned I would broadcast it ship wide that I wanted them in the infirmary for that very reason. That seemed to work." She grinned. "I hope I won't have an issue with you?"

Tell raised her eyebrows she swore she would never go to sickbay again and wasn't about to retract a promise she made to herself. As much as she liked Michelle, sickbay was a different thing altogether. She fingered the armour in front of her and walked over to her work bench to pick something up.

"I don't mind one little bit as long as you make housecall's." she replied "After that holo episode I've had enough of sickbay to last me a life time. Nothing to do with you Michelle, just sickbay in general thats all."

"I'm happy to make house calls if it means we can talk more." Mike smiles.

"Tell you what I'll do," offered Tell "I'll create something for you that will be quite unique and so light that you won't know you're wearing it but will still give you the support you want. But, as long as you do your medical things on me... here"

"Serious? It's much easier down there." Mike responds.

"Yes definitely serious. Is it a deal?"

Mike sighs. "All right, we have a deal. Lets get to it!"

Tell got out her engineering tricorder and started taking scans and measurements of Michelles body.

Mike also pulled out her own tricorder and started scanning.

They look at each other. "Do you suffer from headaches or stress?" They both ask at exactly the same time. After a brief pause, they both burst into laughter.

"No"

"Yes"

"Really?"

"Well I think that will do for now," Tell said after a few minutes "Its enough for me to get started with. Tell me, do you prefer buttons, zips or laces ?"

"I would prefer zips, much quicker." Mike grins. "The lace can come later."

Tell grinned and added something to her measurements. "How am I? Well I hope?"

"As well as can be expected with the very limited facilities on board." Mike replies. "How long do you think this will take?"

"A few hours give or take. Lets say the morning shall we and then if I need to make any adjustments I can call you in."

"Sounds good to me. You know where to find me." Mike gives Tell a quick hug before leaving the workshop and heading back to sickbay.
