Captain
Calhoun stepped into Captain Stewart’s room.
Commander Dickerson was talking to Captain Stewart when he walked in.
“How are you
doing Gwen?” He tried to look cheerful.
“I’m doing
better now.” She smiled.
“What was
wrong?” He stepped to the side of the bed.
“They missed
the ruptured spleen.” She rolled her eyes.
The captain
was confused “How did they miss that?”
“I was
unconscious when I got here.” She shrugged “And when I came to I was doped up
to the gills.”
“Did they
get it figured out?”
“I think
so.” She grabbed the tablet Sam and Tim gave her “We were just going over the
plan of what we are going to do with that thing.”
“I want to
go get the other one.” Kim spoke up.
“I agree.”
Captain Calhoun concurred “We can park it next to the one we have now and
figure out what to do with it then.”
“Send Sam
and Tim in a tractor shuttle to go get it.” Gwen looked at her tablet. “I’m
patched into the lab from here.” She checked the schedules “Kimmie, you take
over the lab and let’s figure out if we have something to inspect that thing
with.”
“What do you
have in mind for inspecting it?” Kim looked expectantly.
“Something
like the repair ‘bots that Tim is currently reviewing.” She smiled.
“Alright
Gwen,” Captain Calhoun turned to leave “I’ll be on the bridge and leave these
details to you.” He looked back with a stern face “But don’t stress yourself
too much, you need to get your rest.” He smiled at the end.
“Aye
Captain.” She looked up from the tablet. “I’ll take it easy, but we have work
to do here.”
“Very Well.”
He left the room.
“Ok Kimmie.”
Gwen had a devilish smile “Tell Tim and Sam they are going on an …” she thought
for a moment “excursion.”
“Why do I
have to tell them?” Kim was not amused.
“Because I
out rank you.” Gwen smiled and winked.
