{.I Had To Fall.} [.50 OT4]

[icanhaslogic]

[It was hardly the hurried kind of atmosphere in Sickbay that had accompanied the incursion of the whales- even less so back here, in that small room that had been closed off from the rest of the area. Its single occupant still “sleeping,” an occasional soft beep from consoles and monitors helping to alleviate a silence that would otherwise have been stifling.

Even so, he was stronger than he had been- if only he would wake up. But he lay undisturbed, closed eyes giving no indication of opening any time soon.

And yet it was better than when he had been brought here- better than dead. At least this gave him a chance.]
