“I was instructed to leave my communicator on the shuttle!” Cara reminded him. “But Lance should have one for emergencies. We were also told not to use the Transporter unless it was an emergency. I guess this counts as one though!”

-Cara Meow, Ship’s Anthropologist and Sociologist.

Cross shook her head ‘’No it does not and as a doctor I should know, besides if need be it would be better to go back to the shuttle where I have access to the medical kit’‘.

‘’What ! We are not even suppose to bring our communicators remember? ‘’ Cross whispered ,apparently Cross could still rationalize despite feeling ill ‘’ Don’t call the Captain, in fact don’t do anything except help me find a place to sit, some water and it shall pass it happened before …no need to alarm yourselves ‘’ the female doctor shook her head in disbelieve.

Cross understood they where trying to help but in doing so they seemed to have forgotten that they were meant to show as little as possible of their technology.

Even in her present state Cross managed to smile ‘’Hey guys just pull yourselves together the sky ain’t falling just yet’‘.

Sal came over as the two groups parents and their children moved off to do something else. “..Is everything ok with your doctor? If she is unwell somehow we can get a drink from inside the schooling areas. While we continue our tour if you wish?” She asked.

GM CockRoach

‘’Yes please Sal I could do with a glass of water and rest a bit ,nothing to worry about ‘’ the doctor reassured her ‘’Its my fault I should have taken some of the food you prepared for us…I’m sorry ‘’ Cross gave a weary smile .

At this point she did wonder about a hospital, surely these people did have one and wondered why Sal did not offer to take her there. Not that Cross needed but it would be an added bonus to look around.

Cross CMO.

Joe scowled and nearly started to steam. This was one alternative that Joe hadn’t seen coming and quite honestly, he felt like a small mouse trapped in the corner by a large very hungry cat. Diplomacy be darned. He felt the primal urge to throw Cross across his shoulder, carry her to the shuttle and the world be cursed. Joe closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was hard telling what might happen if these people got their hands on Cross! Who knew what sort of strange medicines they may have?

But there he was boxed in. Cross had said yes to them. And while on the surface it seemed a logical solution Joe felt threatened by it. He turned toward the young redshirt who was at the rear of the group and snapped. “You. Go with the Lieutenant and stay with her until relieved. Screw this up and I’ll have you cleaning micrometeor dust off the outer hull.” He turned then to Cross and said in a low tone. “Miri let’s not forget the story of Persephone, alright?”

Lt.Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO.

Cross knew if he could the Cmdr would give her a piece of his mind, especially on replying ‘’Mmm..not bad being the queen of the underworld’‘.

Sal seeing the exchange, nodded a bit, “..Very well Doctor Cross. Come this way inside the facility there is a lounge just inside where we first entered..” Sal said leading the group into the educational factility once more and this time heading to the left where a somewhat nicely adorned lounge room was setup probably able to host up to 10-13 people comfortably. Given the decorations and such this was probably a lounge used by the educational staff during breaks. Coming back with a plastic white cup Sal offered it to Cross. “..Here you go.” She said.

‘’Wow this place is pleasant and delightful ‘’ the female doctor commented as she took the offered glass ‘’Thank you Sal for your caring and friendly nature’’ Cross sat down and started to relax Maybe it was all those screaming ,yelling and noisy kids . she thought .Anything except admitting that she needed treatment.

Cross CMO.

Then Sal looked to the XO, “..If you think she needs more serious attention I could call for a medical tram? Or arrange transport for her to return to your ship?” Sal inquired.

GM CockRoach

Joe clenched and unclenched his fists and thought to himself. ‘Diplomacy hurts! ’ Finally after a couple of heartbeats Joe smiled sweetly at Sal and replied. “No I don’t think it is anything earth shattering at the moment. Doctor Cross is according to our other medical officer suffering from such things as stress and improper diet. I’m sure that she needs just a short break and a bit of food. I’m sure that your medical people can handle anything that arises. I’ll return to my people on the tour and we can leave the Lieutenant here for the time being. I would appreciate it though if you would have one of your people inform our captain on what has happened .”

Lt.Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO

Cross was quietly sipping the water and hearing Joe speaking with Sal,her main problem right now was how the hell she was going to avoid him once back on the ship.
