Dagen saw a blib suddenly blinking on his station, notifying him that the Captain wanted to see him in his ready room.

What a time to get a cold!

Dagen noted this and, his brow furrowing at the simple message, set his latest ‘present’ on the table. It was a large box and had been sent to him by way of his parents. Technically, what they sent was a replicator pattern input code and he simply replicated it. Saved in travel time and fees for sure! It was a surprise, this gift, but not a surprise entirely. He had for a time as a kid taken up model building, but this went farther than he had ever gone. It was a miniature working model of an ‘old ironside’ - an earth vessel. This one a three deck war vessel model that would take him, well, a long time to do. Especially since it was one with working parts. He would need to take his time on this one. Leaving this on his desk, he departed for the Captain’s Ready Room.

Arriving, Dagen tugged at his tunic, Picardian style (where HAD that come up?! It had become a ‘thing’ amongst the students at the college where he had undergone a lot of his re-education upgrades a few years ago). Buzzing, he waited for entry.

The door opened and Julien waited for Dagen to come in.

When they were alone, Julien got up to stand in front of Dagen. He was uncharacteristically in civilian clothes. He gave a sad smile to Dagen. “I have to tell you something and there is no easy way to say this. I’ve resigned from active duty. I need to be with La’kia when she gives birth to my daughter, and that can only happen on Earth. I’m the only doctor next to Sage who has experience in a human-zaharan birth and this second one is even more dangerous than the first one.” he said, his mismatched green eyes looked happy and sad at the same time.

“There is just no other way. If she they die while I’m on a deep space mission, I will not be able to live with myself.” he said beaten.
