Stanley entered sickbay as if he were walking through a desert bereft of any living thing but himself. He now wore a loose beige pullover which looked as if it were two sizes too big for him. His slacks beige as well were loose and baggy with the overall effect being that Stanley looked nearly lost in his clothing. He also had two large manilla folders both about to explode with all the papers stuffed inside.

Stanley’s office turned out to be a space formerly used to store expired medicines. It was excruciatingly small at about the same size as a walk-in closet, but he was ecstatic about it. He soon had his files arranged in several piles of paper stacked carefully on the floor by the tiny desk. He was equally delighted by the fact that while his own chair was uncomfortable the one other chair in his office which of course would be used by patients was quite comfortable and even reclined! Now there was only one thing he needed to begin! A few moments later his desktop was adorned with a small glass pitcher and several empty beakers with tags on them. Terribly thrilled by his good luck he then left a message for Doctor Cross to come see him when it was convenient for her.

As usual her office office door was open,a nurse popped in after a slight knock ‘’Doctor Cross I have a written message for you ‘’ the female doctor was making herself a cup of coffee ‘’ Eh? Just leave it on the desk’’ sipping her coffee Cross turned facing the desk,thinking when was the last time a note was send on a piece of paper in this time and age .
The doctor sat down still sipping her coffee and once she finished reached for the note.Cross frowned wondering who wanted to see her,for what reason and of all places in a room not much bigger then a closet.
Throwing the note in the bin she made her way to the allocated room,too small for a sliding door Cross turned the knob and stepped in ‘’Who are you?’’ the doctor asked with the strangest unreadable expression.

Stanley seemed frightened by the doctor’s presence for a moment it seemed. Once he recovered, he clapped his hands together and smiled broadly saying in an enthusiastic voice. “Buona giornata ! Doctor Cross! Alas I am afraid I can’t speak Maltese. ” Stanley then proceeded to move the pitcher of water and beakers together on a corner of his small desk and motioned to the comfortable chair in front of his desk. “I am pleased meet you. I hadn’t thought that you would come so soon! “

‘’Good morning to you too ‘’Cross replied back ‘’ It does not matter that you don’t speak Maltese, both Italian and English are agreeable to me ‘’ she held her voice at neutral level ‘’I came cause I had just finished operating and was about to enjoy a cup of coffee’’ the doctor was feeling incredibly tired and plonked herself on the chair after a hard day’s work .

He sat then and said to Cross ,”Allow me to introduce myself. I am Doctor Stanley Wong professor of psychiatry among other things. I’ve been sent out here by fleet to speak with the members of the Merrimack’s crew. Nothing grand just a few interviews.”

Was it the light that made her eyes look this red or was it all an illusion,the female doctor did not move a muscle at the word ‘Psychiatrist’ those penetrating eyes were alert
‘’So for a few interviews the fleet sent you,would it have made more sense if it was a psychologist rather then a psychiatrist? ‘’Cross wasn’t about to stop there ‘’What do you mean by the fleet, you are not wearing a Star-Fleet uniform? Does the Captain and Cmdr know that you’re here ?Where they notified beforehand? What do this ‘few’ interviews consist of? and have you met or talked to anyone in sickbay while I as with the away team?’’ Cross waited patiently for answers.
