Posted by Lieutenant Ben Hudson (Chief Medical Officer) in Ship’s Lounge
Ben was rather tired. It had been a late night before, supporting the Songs family, and his body clock had woken him up punctually at 0600. Whilst a quick run around some of the lower decks had helped wake him up, he could tell throughout the day that he wasn’t on top form. Twelve hours later, he stepped through the doors into the Ship’s Lounge, fancying a stiff drink and a hot meal from the replicator.

“A double whisky, Speyside single malt.” he ordered from the bar, as he flicked through his PaDD for inspiration for his dinner. He paused scrolling as his eyes fell on something quite simple, but very appealing. Moving over to the replicator, he pressed a few buttons, before a plate of steaming mash potato with sausages and peas materialised. He smiled at the sight of what he would describe as ‘comfort food’.

A short while later, an equally weary Sal Songz wandered into the lounge. He had slept for awhile and then had spent some time with Koro and Sair, and felt the need to be anywhere that wasn’t the quarters he had shared with Kel. Yes, it hurt that she was gone, and that space she left in his life felt vast, but he had benen honest earlier that they had done all they could to prepare themselves for this moment. What he hadn’t known was how aimless he’d feel right now.

Dressed in a grey tunic and black wide legged trousers, the elder Kobliad looked around the space and spotted Doctor Hudson. He smiled and wandered over. “Hello, Doctor. I hope I’m not interrupting. I just wanted to thank you for all your support. It made things… easier.”
