: : He walked up to the replicator in his quarters with a mission. He didn't do this often, but today certainly called for it. He had to make a call every officer in Starfleet dreads. He just hadn't anticipated his first time coming so soon. "Glass. Ice." The replicator obeyed and created the required items. He grabbed them and took a seat by his monitor. Reaching into his bag, he pulled out a glass bottle with clear liquid. Russia had changed in many ways, but the creation of vodka was still a thriving industry. He poured some and braced himself for the bite of his first sip. Strangely, it didn't hit him as hard as he thought it might. That wasn't a good sign.

On board the Athena, it was early in the morning, but not too early. Ghubari was up and getting ready for the day. Moving from the shower area on her crutches, she saw she had an incoming message from Earth. Thinking it might be word about her mother, she moved over to her bedroom and got dressed quickly, putting on her new artificial limb that fit so well. A few minutes later, she walked over to her desk, dressed in her duty uniform and sat down. She activated the call, anticipation etched into her features. When she saw it was Kovalev, she couldn't help but need a moment to switch gears. "Ensign… is everything alright?" she asked, not expecting to hear from him, but rather Dr. Sims.
