Trax made it home to his quarters alone. Luckily he had a light day for once. As he went and got cleaned up and headed to forward lounge quietly as the corridors were void of crew and civilians. As the doors opened to an empty lounge other the the wait staff. As he calmly moved to his usual corner booth and too a seat with a hard drawn-out sigh. As he looked outside the view ports looking at nothing in particular. As a little bit later a waiter come over to him. “Excuse me not trying to be a bother.but do you wish a drink or something to eat?” The kind waiter asked Trax. With out looking at the young man”Please…an Antarian fizz. And a cheeseburger and fries with a large chocolate chip shake.” Trax said with a soft voice to the young man. “Of course sir!” As the young man left to fill the order. While Trax continued to stare out at the unknown stars as a year fell from one eye as he quickly wiped his runaway tear from his cheek. As he finally pulled out his padd. and took a moment to send a message to to ask permission to talk to the CMO, first officer, xo and maybe the captain. About personal matters.maybe get there advice. This was one of the hardest things he ever had ever to consider or do. As he beverage was brought to him by his waiter quickly and quietly. He was like a shadow. Trax was going to thank the young man but never had a chance to. As he looked at his padd for replies from his request as he sat the padd down and too his drink and took a sip of it. As he let the liquid love take hold of him.

A few minutes after Trax’s message had been sent a reply came from the Captain. =/\= Ensign Suder I am currently free to meet with you in my personal quarters if you wish to discuss what is on your mind. If not there now then I will have to schedule you in later this evening after I get off my shift.=/\= It said.

Trax heard his com go off and heard the Captain’s message. =/\ = “I am on my way.”=/\= as he saw the waiter come with his food. As he drank down his drink. Pulled his padd back into his pocket. And placing the glass back on the table. “Please place my food in a to go container. I will eat it later. ” Trax said softly to the young man. “I am sorry for all the trouble.” Trax said softly and sincerely to the man. “It’s fine sir! I well have your food ready in another container in just a moment.” The waiter said kindly has he moved it from a plate into a container for storage and close the lid.”here you go sir enjoy!” The young waiter said kindly two tracks as he handed off the food to him as he wished him well as he watched Trax leave. Trax headed down the corridor to the nearest turbo lift as he head off to the Captain’s quarters he would have hoped he would have heard from everybody else first but hopefully there’s no ill will because he’s apparently just went over everybody’s head. Trax sighed hard as the lift moved on its course around the ship. The lift came to a stop as the doors opened on the proper level. As Trax exited and moved alone the empty corridors till he reached her cabin. As he stood there debating on tapping the door chime. As he finally let out a deep sigh. As he waited patiently for an answer.

While he stood waiting waiting to receive permission to enter, his PaDD beeped once more with an incoming message. This time it was the XO. The text was simple and succinct. ‘I have a free hour between 1600 and 1700 hours. We can meet at a place of your choosing if the time works for you.’

—Bray, XO

His PaDD beeped again with yet another incoming message. This one from the CMO. ‘I will be having a meal in the forward lounge around 1800 hours if you would like to join me.’

Jr. Lt. Marshall, CMO

Trax again quickly replied to the CMO. “I will meet you there! Thank you for taking the time to see me.” Trax typed fast. Before he forgot to reply to her. as he left the xo’s office and started back to the Deck 17 forward lounge with his now cold meal in tow with him as he moved towards the lounge. He was tired and worry stricken started to show on his face as he entered the lounge and started looking for the CMO. As he saw the waiter walk by. “Excuse me Please warm this up.” Trax asked the man “Of course sir!” as the waiter took the tray and went on. As he finally noticed her as he moved towards her table slowly.

Hayley looked up from her meal as En. Suder approached. “Dr. Suder, welcome, have a seat.” She smiled and gestured toward the waiting empty chair. “What can I do for you?”

Jr. Lt. Marshall, CMO

“I am sorry to bother you like this Doctor especially with your meal.” Trax Said sincerely to her she may notice the concern and worry were weighing heavily on him. As he took a seat across from her at the table as one of the waiters brought over a fresh Sweet iced tea for him. He looked over at him. “Thanks!” and looked back to the doctor a moment then looked back to the waiter. “Your food will be here momentarily.” the waited nodded kindly to the thank you from trax. Trax nodded as the waiter left again. As he refocused his mind to the doctor again. “I know this might not be the place but I am concerned by all that has gone on lately and I am having issues concentrating on things. Like the lockdown on betazed and my mother causing more problems for me which caused the change of command in medical.” Trax took a breath as he continued. “I talked to the captain briefly about this but I wanted more opinions… I was considering on resigning my commission and maybe leaving star fleet and go into hiding because of the turmoil.” Trax laid it all out for the doctor or the CMO. ” I am trying to keep focused on work but it’s getting harder. I guess I need more work or need to do more studying to keep my mind from overanalyzing things.” Trax said as he finished so that the doctor could get a chance to digest the information and the news. As the waiter brought over a hot plate of what he had for his meal earlier but it seemed fresh and not reheated. He was going to as the waiter but he started to speak. “We made you a fresh meal we remade it from the order placed earlier. And it was no trouble doctor.” As the waiter smiled and gave a wink towards him. As the waiter left as trax felt the kindness and sincerity of the man and the feeling of attraction from the man too. As he carefully pulled his napkin and placed it on his lap. and grabbed the fork to take a bit to eat. as he waited quietly for the doctor.

“I imagine you are feeling a bit like Atlas right now, like the weight of the worlds is sitting on your shoulders. It can’t be easy dealing with all that. I would hate to see you resign from Starfleet, though and I am not sure more work would be a solution either, however it certainly could be easily arranged if that is what you’d like.” This last was followed by a wry smile. “Have you considered taking an LOA? Putting your commission on hold for a time perhaps?”

Jr. Lt. Marshall CMO

“Yes, it was not easy.” Trax said in between bites of his food. “I considered that option but the captain told me that was not a good thing to do right now due to our current situation and its wiser to have all of our medical teams together till the crisis is over and all.” Trax said with a small sigh. as he reached over for his iced tea to take a good drink of it. “I can use the extra work to get all the medical areas caught up or fully restored from all the craziness we have had and we can be laxer after were back to our home starbase areas or at least back in federation space.” Trax said softly to her. as he continued to eat. “What are you having to eat?” tax asked her.

“Shepherds Pie,” she replied glancing down at her plate. “I guess I should actually eat some of it right?” She fiddled with her fork for a moment. “My appetite hasn’t been great the last few days so I thought I would tease it with an old favorite. My mother used to make it for us when we were kids.” She paused to consider what he had said previously. “I guess with the crisis and all your choices are pretty limited right now. It’s not like we can even contact Starfleet regarding either LOA or resignation. That said, I am sure we can find you a few extra days off if you need some time. It seems though that you would rather be busy. Is that so?”

Jr. Lt. Marshall CMO Off Duty

“I personally would like to keep busy but if you think me taking time off will help I will go with the consensus. ” Trax said softly as he finished off his meal. And finished off his iced tea as well. As he waved for a refill of his tea. “I kinda agree its kinda drastic to deal with a resignation or a loa.”

Hayley smiled warmly in reply, “We would certainly hate to lose you as well. Rankings and demotions aside you are the most experienced physician on this ship and the whole department, myself included look up to you. You are already working full time so I am not sure I want to increase your duty shifts but we can certainly keep you busier during them. The Captain has reminded me that we should be looking outward as well as inward with everything going on right now. Would you like to take charge of that assignment? The scanning and analysis of the local space we are in as well as any civilizations me may encounter for medical concerns?”

Jr. Lt. Hayley Marshall, CMO Off Duty

“I can try doctor. I know its not an easy assignment but that would me I would have to use one of the vacant science stations on the bridge and that would mean if anything happens I would have to pull myself from that assignment to deal with medical needs in sickbay 2.” Trax said calmly to her. He knew she was trying to give him what he asked more things for him to do. “Of course that is your decision doctor. I will take on the assignment if you so order it doctor.” tax said softly as his fresh iced sweet tea arrived.
