I can’t sleep, not knowing whether Starfleet would comply with Vulcan recommendations to abort our mission.
And I have an injured officer in Sickbay. I find myself by his biobed, keeping watch. Phlox says the sedative should be wearing off, but Malcolm’s face still looks so bruised.

“A thousand years, sir?”
