After several days of working, and finally (!) after having fully recovered from that Romulan flu, Kastarak was well overdue a work out. He knew that he had to take it easier than usual. He had already lost some 3 kg from a lack of appetite during his flu, and his stamina was likely to have become worse.

As such, Kastarak decided on a light warm-up and stretch before he would go for some push-and-pull strength exercises. Wearing his gym clothes – yellow shorts, and a pink t-shirt and orange running shoes (clothes were chosen out of comfort, not looks, as was logical…) – he began a jog on a simulator treadmill. It was a curious apparatus. Covering his eyes with what looked like swimming goggles, as he ran, he was somewhere else. He had to be sure not to turn in various directions, lest he’d likely fall.

Today, he decided on running through the gardens outside P’Jem monastery. Kastarak had still to visit that monastery – one of the few relics outside the destroyed Vulcan homeworld that still felt like Vulcan (except for the lush vegetation and blue, blue skies). Kastarak ran along the monastery gardens, hearing the birds, and watching Andorian tourists take selfies. Ah yes, Kastarak’s thoughts wandered, this planet was contested by both Vulcan and Andoria, and was where Andorians and Humans shared their first contact of one another. It was a historical environment to exercise in. Of course, it would be inappropriate to run around that site, should he ever visit it. He would have to take care to respect the sanctity and history of the environment, take in the sounds, smells and visuals of the area, as well as taste the air. Each planet’s air had a different taste. He wondered what the flavour of P’Jem would be.

Suddenly a beautiful bird flew past, and Kastarak mindlessly looked towards it, to see more of its multicoloured plume. And he fell.

Even though the treadmill stopped automatically, Kastarak hit his head on a protective beam along the treadmill, forcing the goggles off him, and he started bleeding.

The last thought he had was that the green bloodstains on his pink shirt made a curious pattern. It reminded him of Earth nightclub fashion....

Kastarak passed out. Lying unconscious on the cold floor, he was still bleeding – not much, but enough for the scene to look a lot more gruesome than it was.

Umbri had just finished their morning swim when they spotted their former roommate, Kastarak, lying unconscious on the floor next to one of the simulator treadmills. It looked like there was blood as well. They immediately ran over to the Ensign, checked his pulse, and went to the nearest Comm Station:

[O] Sickbay, this is Lt Umbri Zayne. I just found Ensign Kastarak unconscious in the gym. He appears to have hit his head and needs immediate medical attention. [O]

Lieutenant (j.g.) Umbri Zayne, Weapons Officer

There was an immediate response, [O] Sickbay here, Nurse Sutalo speaking.[O].

While Umbri described the nature of the medical emergency, Kastarak woke up. He looked pale, with a slight greenish hue. He did not look good.

“Um-Umbri…?” he stuttered softly. “What happened?”
