T’Aria entered the turbolift after her debrief with Taggart (and a series of reports that raised more questions than they answered), tempted to return to her quarters and meditate until her shift at 0800, but she needed to make a quick stop at Sickbay before she could retire for the night.

“Deck 5,” she ordered, closing her eyes to take a few sobering breaths as the turbolift descended.

T’Aria stepped off when the doors hissed open, revealing a deck bustling with red-, gold- and blue-shirted crew dashing in all directions. She fell into the flow, branching off when familiar doors appeared on her left.

Entering Sickbay, she approached the receptionist.

“Hello, Ensign,” she greeted, “is Doctor Symar available?”
