Sickbay - earlier this morning (open)

[dctr_mccoy]

It was long habit to keep a change of clothing in his office - most physicians he knew did the same. After being unable to get any hot water in his own room that morning, and not wanting to impose of Jim anymore than he already had, Leonard stormed into the sickbay wearing his previous days' clothing, and locked himself in sickbay's bathroom,

Not today.

Still... had a good time, I think.

Don't worry about the water. I've got sickbay for the time being.

Private to Doctor McCoy

[just_uhura]

Of course Leo. I'll forward my private codes and you can access the comms server to send whatever you want. We're in Federation space so transmissions should go through fine but any issues, just tell me.

You're an angel. Just have someone back home I need to talk to.

Thanks again.

Leonard, dear, regarding your shower...

I'm sorry about allowing that to happen, I was still distracted by my mourning and failed to notice that the young, displaced Monty had tampered with some minor systems. I believe that he has formed an attachment to Harold and felt - in his own, strange, way - that he was defending his new friend.

Also, I do not believe that young Monty is fond of your propensity for threatening with hyposprays.

Are you communicating in Standard?

That is amazing, Enterprise. Do you prefer Enterprise, or is there some other designation that you'd rather be known as? If sentience is what you were seeking, then I'm very happy for you.

I reiterate my offer to look over your case, should you seek designation as a new life form.

As for the shower... well I guess I can understand that. But he's not going to enjoy his first physical on board this ship, I tell you that.

Yes, it made sense in my progression and I believe that it cheered James considerably when I began.

Enterprise works. I think that it is closer to what Organics would consider a name than any of my other designations.

I am still apprehensive about being re-designated, my fears still stand, however I am seriously taking your suggestion under advisement, Leonard.

Do not be too hard on him, my observations of him lead me to conclude that he is very nervous, as is.

When they had a moment in the course of the morning, Chapel pulled her CMO aside for a quick word.

"How are you feeling? I'm surprised that you're back on duty so quickly. Are you having any trouble with your injuries?"

[dctr_mccoy]

"Feeling better," he told her honestly. "I'm down to pain medication every ten hours or so, and there's no sign of infection, nor any lingering discomfort."

He arched an eyebrow at her. "Is that acceptable, Nurse Chapel?"

[rn_chapel]

"Hmm, I should probably insist on a follow-up examination, but I guess I can trust you." Chapel grinned. "I'm glad you're healing so quickly. You had us all worried. Though, I guess there's no shortage of people to worry about on this ship."

[dctr_mccoy]

Leonard chuckled at her, then shook his head. "If I thought I needed it, I promise, I'd let you know. But," he stopped, and grinned at her, I'm good."

Private communication to McCoy

[original_fine]

Never better, Bones. You?

Much the same, Captain, much the same...
