Joe had finally gotten out of sickbay, but it hadn’t made his mood any better. He had wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee from the mess hall but the smells coming from that general direction quite frankly frightened the be jeepers out of him. He was quite sure he was having olfactory hallucinations, so he avoided the area altogether. This would have to be one of those odd occasions where he would take advantage of the fact that he had a replicator in his cabin.

So, it was then that despite himself he found himself sitting in his cabin with a cup of very good coffee. He had to admit that Mullins had done a bang-up job with the replicator system. Now though being in his cabin he could find no excuse not to write a report on the away team mission to the captain He’d send it off to him and then go to see him for any questions he had or to see if he wanted any changes made to his report or the recommendations he had made.

After sending the report Joe left his cabin and headed directly toward the captain’s office. He buzzed the door and waited impatiently. He was in a hurry to be done with this day.
