::it had better be important, was busy elsewhere...still trying to figure out the mess with the NX-Enterprise's Captain...and the damned Xindi::

::ducks through hatch, listening expectantly for signs of disaster::

::shakes head, following quiet murmer of voices into rear compartment::

Comments

[linnis_paris]

::glances up from biobed readings as ltcmdrtomparis rounds the corner::

::nods greeting, pointing out former drone resting on bed::

If you can make the time, I'd appreciate your help with that little procedure Her Highness Seven wants done.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

Proc...wait a minute.

::steps closer, shooting glare at annikahansen as she props upon one elbow::

I agreed to leave decisions regarding her medical care up to Seven, I didn't agree to assist in any operations.

kes_ can help. Or pull someone from the medical team here.

[linnis_paris]

Actually, the reason I'm doing this here...::

::sweeps hand out to encompass surroundings::

...is to keep this as far away from Enterprise's operations as possible. Phlox and his staff are occupied enough right now, and considering the Borg nature of the matter, I think it best to keep this a private matter.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

...

Fine. Makes sense.

::looks pointedly again::

But it still doesn't mean you need me.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

:;glances up briefly, staring::

::shakes head at comment, dropping eyes again::

Yes, ma'am.

::accepts medical tweezers when offered, carefully parting tissue::

We're lookng at the vagus nerve, right? Wouldn't want to snip that beauty.

[linnis_paris]

Keep your mind on the nerve, if you can.

::watches as he drops nodule into pan, leaning over to check briefly::

See? That wasn't so hard.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

I wouldn't call it easy either. Let's just wait and see if she wakes up able to put together two words of common sense.

::moves along in quest, feeling slightly more competent::

::plucks anouther out after a moment, dropping it as well and moving eyes to check readings::

It's not like Seven to be so sacrificial. Could there be something else behind this?

[linnis_paris]

I don't think you're being entirely fair in your judgments. Seven is very much a human being. She's perfectly capable of thinking beyond herself...perhaps a little more capable than the rest of us, at that.

::folds arms, considering::

She's grown close to Jenay. This is no place for any child to grow up. I wouldn't be surprised if her motivation wasn't as simple as that.
