Joe had just come from e security office and as he went into sickbay he looked around and not seeing Miriam he walked over to her office door and buzzed it. He stood there looking tired. He had been busy ever since he’d come back from the station. First with of all things hosting the aliens in a question-and-answer session. And he was quite proud of himself that no one was at war now! And now he was checking on the department heads and cleaning up bits and pieces of small irritating problems that just wouldn’t go away.
