Rand kept sickbay and did two things she had never done before. She defied a direct order and then told a blatant lie, on purpose.

Instead of going back to her quarters, Rand defied her medical order and went to the biology lab. She straightened her uniform and held her PaDD to give her hands something to do. She walked in looking as she always did. She didn’t head for Nibbles’ cage. She spared a glance for Mushu and then looked around for Franks. She saw him and walked over. “Lt. Franks do you have a moment?”

Rand

“Of course,” said the Science officer, giving Rand a friendly smile. “What do you need today, Rand?”

Then, using all the skill and talent she possessed Rand lied to a higher ranking officer. “Cmdr Alden needs you to take over the science department. He is working on a classified project with Lt. Kreed.” Okay so that wasn’t exactly a lie. He was working with Kreed and it was classified because medical files were protected. Then she really lied. “He asked me to feed Mushu when I come to work with Nibbles. As long as he stays in his cage and I’m supervised.” She rushed to add, just to make it sound more like Roman. Hopefully Franks didn’t know about her medical restriction and that she shouldn’t be in the lab at all.

Rand

He didn’t. Roman had never mentioned it. Franks nodded. “Moving up in the lab, eh, Rand?” He said, grinning. “Alright, I’ll handle the lab. You know how long the Commander’ll be out for?”
