Sharah was already done with her check ins and per Dr. Zarath’s orders she was getting extra sleep. First she sent a message off to Joseph.
I finished my check-ins yesterday. The CNS is Betazoid. So I didn’t really have to explain my condition. That was a relief and she understands my basic treatment plan. That was a nice surprise. The CMO is Andorian. I’ve never worked with an Andorian before, but he is very good at his job and I’m looking forward to learning from him. I can’t ‘hear’ him. A little empathy feedback but that’s it. I know there are species that Betazoids can’t ‘hear’ but I never looked into it. I guess Andorians are one of them. You’ll be happy to know that Dr. Zarath believes quite strongly in my getting sleep. We came in late and were up early to report, and since his scans showed fatigue he gave me 48 hours off and ordered me to sleep a minimum of 16 hours with the alpha inducer. Before we were transferred he was the only medical personnel on board, so we have a very small duty crew. He has a strange sense of humor and uses sarcasm a lot. And you know I don’t really understand that. It’s made some of our conversations…” Sharah pauses searching for a way to describe it, “difficult because I don’t always get the nuance of what he’s saying.” She shrugs trying to accept her social ineptitude in this instance. “I’ve requested to be allowed to work in the arboretum. I hope I’ll hear soon. If not I’m going to create a miniature green house in my quarters for the plants.”
Sharah stops rubbing her temples. A clear sign she’s over tired. “The rhythm of this ship is so different. I’m having trouble getting on top of it. I haven’t slept much yet, so I better get some before Dr. Zarath shows up. I’m sorry for the short letter tonight, but I think I’d better try to get some extra sleep. I miss you, Imzadi.
Love,
Sharah Attached to the letter is her next chess move, obviously not thought out well at all.

Sharah checks the clock. She goes over to her Bonsai tree and adds the plant food to the water dish. Then she heads to bed. In about 5 hours Ashlyn will be back and Mara should be stopping by and they’d start on fixing their quarters.

Ashlyn came in later than expected, sure the medical exam may have gone alright, but the Counselor’s visit shook up her emotions and she wasn’t able to get them back under control soon enough to not make a fool of herself in front of the department head. Sure, Lieutenant Abrams showed interest in Trenton’s pass time of parkour, but the flirting certainly didn’t help anything at all. Trenton was almost sure when she finally did open Trenton Park, the Lieutenant wouldn’t show, at least not while there was a chance she would get Ashlyn’s attentions. Filled with disappointment and self loathing, she removed her uniform and climbed into her closet, closing the door most of the way to be less visible.

Sharah roused when she heard Ashlyn enter. She could tell from her friend’s body language that she was having a hard time. She started to get up and ask her about it. This was a hard move for them both. However, Ashlyn went straight to her closet. Sharah decided to let it go. Ashyln often talked to her about things that she wouldn’t talk about with others. Sharah also knew Ashyln wouldn’t talk if she didn’t want to. Sharah sighed mentally to herself. She and Ashlyn needed to head to the holodeck for Parkour. Sharah went back to sleep for a little while.

Her alarm beeped a few hours later. “Computer turn the alarm off.” Sharah got up, Ashlyn was still asleep. She quietly moved into the sonic shower and then put on clean clothes. She moved about the room as quietly as she could. She checked her tree to make sure it was adapting well. She found the plans that she and Ashlyn had made for her quarters back on Challenger. Those plans were for half the room, here they could try for more of the room. It wouldn’t bother her. Then she sat down with a book to read until either Ashlyn woke up, or Mara arrived.
