Posted by Lieutenant Seddk Vock (Chief Medical Officer) in Sickbay - A Quiet Night (Open To All)
Vock sat in his office. The room outside was quiet, even with the few patients that were being tended to. Such was the nature of late nights in a starship medical section… barring the odd emergency or six that starships were known for.

Vock sat reading charts and making notes for some time. When he finally looked at the chronometer, it read 0140 ship’s time. The Vulcan doctor closed the display on his desk and leaned back. He could have continued working, but for the moment he allowed himself the simple pleasure of just being… not being a doctor or an officer… just existing. It was a rare time when he allowed himself to simply exist, but the results of such times was always cathartic.

After some time, Vock stood and walked out of his office. Sickbay was quiet, and he walked to each bed and checked on the patients. As he made his way to the last, Nurse Mcaan looked up from the intake desk and said “Sir, you go get some rest. Everything is good here, and if anything changes, you know we will call you.” Mcaan liked the new CMO. He was attentive and even compassionate (as far as Vulcans could be), and he seemed to genuinely care for the patients. Vock looked over and Mcaan and inclined his head. “You are, as usual, correct. Please make sure Ensign G’lim receives his next breathing treatment and flag the notes and scans for my review when I return. And… thank you, Ensign. It is sometimes good to be reminded of the more mundane needs we all have, lkie rest.” Mcaan smiled and shook her head. “You know sir, if I didn’t know better, I would say you were making a joke.” Vock didn’t reply, he just arched an eyebrow and went to his office, shut down his terminal, and locked the door as he left.

“Good night, Ensign. I will see you in a few hours.” Mcaan nodded and said “Have a good night-slash-morning, sir.” and Vock walked out of Sickbay.

It was almost seven hours later when Vicki returned. Time spent in meditation and sleeping had rejuvenated his faculties and an unexpected communication from his father had made the morning a positive experience. Seddk walked into sickbay and nodded at the staff, answered a few questions and checked on Ensign G’lim; who seemed to be responding well to the breathing treatments. Vock paused and looked around for a brief moment. He nodded slightly in approval and entered his office, leaving the door open as he sat and began to review the notes from last night.
