T-Minus 7 Days until Launch <div><br /></div><div>Commander Forrest is in his office next to the sickbay proper, frosted safety glass keeps the two rooms apart. Looking at data on a screen he is scrolling through the numbers.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Ensign, looks like it could be food poisoning BUT....you never can be sure." His voice raised to be heard, standing and moving into the sick bay proper a Xin is laying down on the bed his eyes looking slightly desperate.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Sir..."</div><div><br /></div><div>"Now Ensign, you are not my first Xin patient and I am pretty sure that your desire to try the tripe stew was only natural...most of the human crew seems to have avoided eating it according to the logs."</div><div><br /></div><div>The Ensign who according to the records is older than the commander by half again, still looks very young.</div><div><br /></div><div>"I'm gonna run one more blood sample and then make a determination...unless you have some kind of parasitic flu or Tauran Measles you will stay onboard and make this jump." Smiling and coming over and putting a hand on the young mans shoulder, the ensign seems to shrink back just a bit.</div><div><br /></div><div>"I know you are not big on the contact but in my line of work I need my patients to know that I am there for them so now relax while I just take one more sample I promise."</div><div><br /></div><div>"Let me tell you about this place on Earth called Chapel Hill, you would not believe how pretty it is in the spring time...."</div><div><br /></div><div> </div>
