“Fantastic” Stark said quietly rousing himself, “More people to witness the Chief of Intelligence flat on his back”. He tried to sit up and failed utterly, “My head feels like a plasma volcano” he said even more quietly. Nearby a nurse clanked a box and the Caitian winced visibly. “Laraan blasted me right in the cranium with… something… so she’s obviously alive and kicking”. He looked blearily up at them, “This thing had a kick worse than the after effects of that banana beer incident S’Raal is always talking about”.

Ghubari smirked slightly. “Trust me, that stuff is dangerous. Though, I will admit the rest of the situation and the hallucinogens didn’t really help.” She glanced at Grey for a moment remembering that he would have no context for any of that and knew it would come off as at least a little eyebrow raising. “Just take it easy Stark.”

Benjamin seemed to not give an outward reaction. Internal reactions were different and a deep-seated curiosity started gnawing at him.

Taking a deep breath, the captain moved over to Laraan’s bedside and gazed down at the woman. “We’ll get her here, don’t you worry,” she said softly.

Turning to Grey and Stark. “I’ll put in a call. A situation like this requires a special… intervention that her mother can provide. I have sway, so can put in the call and likely get a very quick response.”

“Great, Four years of Medical School, two years in the Academy with Specialised training, three doctorates and an IQ higher than god and the best thing that can save my patient is her mothers love” Ben’s tone was dripping in sarcasm. As he finished his complaint an aide arrived through the door out of breath holding a folded medical uniform. Ben opened and closed his mouth, closed his eyes and sighed “Just, my office.” He started walking away but stopped for a moment and turned around “Look all I can do now is make her comfortable, Commander if you wish to stay I’ll have someone set up a Chair in the Corner but I think you should get some rest first. We’ll let you know about any changes.” He said in a more sympathetic tone.

At the mention of Laraan’s mother Stark winced even more. “How is marriage to my daughter treating you Stark… oh such a shame the next time we meet it’s because you’ve failed to keep her safe, oh yes, just peachy”. He looked up at Ben, “The captain forgot to mention that my mother in law is a sentient ship… she has a certain… presence”.

“Oh don’t be so dramatic,” Ghubari teased slightly. “It won’t be that bad. And she can’t blame you. If anyone gets to claim that, it will be me. And I don’t mind taking the brunt of it for you, my brother.” Her ship, her crew, her orders. She would take the rightful responsibility.

Stark seemed genuinely moved by that, “I’d appreciate that greatly” he said sincerely, “Short of the Borg Queen, Laraan’s mother gives me a serious case of the “wish I was anywhere else in the universe” disease”.

“As to the chair, I’ll pass thanks, I like to pace and when I’m not pacing all I need is a flat surface in a nice safe corner. Now if you all wouldn’t mind I’m going to shut my eyes so that they’ll stop screaming at me for keeping them open”. He curled up and his tail started to twitch rhythmically, to heart beat or pain was anybodies guess.

“Rest well, ndugu,” Ghubari said gently, before gesturing to the CMO’s office. “Come on Ben, how about I fill you in a bit more where we can talk without disturbing anyone?”

Ben’s face made for quite the amusing sight, narrow eyes, open mouth and raised eyebrows. He shook his head and let out a slight sigh “Yes, of course,” He moved into his office. The assistant had placed the uniform on his desk, Benjamin sighed as he took a seat in his chair “Apologies Captain, I had planned to get some rest before receiving the call here.” He crossed his legs and looked up at the Captain “I’m not certain I have it in me to stand any longer”
