About twenty minutes after the initial call to the Sentinel, and after organizing patient transfer info and ensuring patient safety, Leah, Dr. Hunter and Nurse Montri arrived in Sickbay with their security escort.

“Leah, we’re going to put you in the recovery room where we can monitor your progress, okay? I know it’s not as private as we’d all like, but it’s the best we can do right now,” Sylvia said.

Leah simply nodded. She had said little since they started to get her discharged into the Sentinel’s care, but Hunter knew their colleague and friend was processing a lot. She patted Hart’s shoulder and then got her settled into a bed.

“Can I sleep?” Leah asked, her voice so much smaller and quieter than everyone was used to.

“Soon,” Sylvia said. “I want to make sure there aren’t going to be any more seizures and we just need you without the substance in your system for awhile longer. After that, if your vitals are still stable, you can sleep.”

She sighed and Leah nodded as she pulled the blanket up over her more.

Bump

Rende entered the medical bay and looked around before approaching the small desk. “I wanted to come check on Lt. Hart. Can she have a visitor?”

Dr. Hunter nodded. “She can. We need to keep her awake a little while longer to ensure she is in fact remaining stable, but after that we’re going to let her sleep.” Sylvia rose from the desk after adding Leah’s charts from the hospital to her Starfleet medical record. “She’s cognizant and showing no deficits from the neurosurgery, aside from some typical memory loss. But if you notice anything odd in her speech patterns or facial movements, let me know right away.”

Moving to Leah’s beside, Sylvia gave her friend a soft smile. “You have a visitor.”

Leah took in Rende for a brief moment and gave a small nod. Of acceptance or permission, either could be true.

“Another fifteen or twenty minutes, then you can sleep,” Hunter said, answering the unspoken question.

As the doctor stepped away, Leah let her gaze settle on the blanket covering her body. “I’m sure you’ve hears what happened,” she said simply, directing at her comments at Rende, though she couldn’t quite bring herself to look at the captain. “Fortunately, I can read my own charts, and with Kreed’s approval of course, I should be back on my feet and ready for duty in a couple days, barring any complications.”

Rende shook her head, “None of that, Leah. You’ve been through a physically and emotionally traumatic experience. I’m not worried about you rushing back to duty. I’m worried about you recovering.” Rende pulled up one of the stools and sat. “Would you like to talk about it. I’m told I can be a pretty good listener.”
