Cobb had been meaning to pay the Doctor a second visit for a while now. In part so that he could seek her professional opinion on Synthi-er’s injuries and in part so that he could follow up on the previously exhausted condition of the ship’s engineers. And perhaps also in the hope that she might furnish him with another selection of cookies, since the last shuttle had sadly departed for planet stomach yesterday evening. But overriding all of those motivations was the wish to acquaint himself better with Fey Kastil the woman, since such a mystery-swaddled enigma he had never before known!

But while Zachariah had taken several large steps towards ‘non-awkward socialisation’ through his regular breakfasts with Casela, still the art of initiating casual conversation remained so elusive as to be terrifying. And so it was with no less trepidation than his first time that he entered the Leviathan’s Alpha sickbay and began searching for the Medical Chief…

The doctor was in her office today, clearly distracted with something on her console. As the Captain got closer, there was a brief moment of fluid Spanish coming from the console before he got close enough for the volume of the communication to be loud enough to register on the universal translation matrix. “Do you have actual coordinates for where you are at?” The voice was sweet and firm, belonging to another woman for sure. “I tried asking about the Star Base but it must be a part of some secret project or something. The wouldn’t even give me a mailing address for you. They at least would tell me that you are active duty and posted, but not where. I know Starfleet is important to you, but I thought I’d still be able to reach you. I miss you.” The Doctor looked up from the Console at the Captain and smiled, pausing the message. “You look well Captain, how can I help you?” Unlike the sweet voice from a moment ago, the doctor’s crackling and hoarse voice filled the room now.

He had caught the final tendrils of interrupted conversation and found his cheeks burning crimson beneath his beard. “Ah, forgive me. It was not my intention to intrude on a private conversation,” he blustered. “I should perhaps have comm’d ahead of my arrival.”

For a few moments he simply lingered in the doorway, shifting awkwardly from one foot to the other. Then belatedly remembering that he was a man without a heart and so gave not one single damn for the opinions of others anyway, he cleared his throat and added more confidently, “I had some ship’s business to discuss and was in a mind to invite you for a drink while we cleared it. But we can schedule it for another time in my ready room if that is more to your liking?”

The Doctor waves a dismissive hand and smiles at the Captain. “Worry not dear Captain, twas but a letter from my dear sister since we’re too far from Earth to do a live feed. She is healthy as always, still feels sad about not being able to accept something of her last girlfriend that tore their relationship apart, and desperately wants to know where to send the mountain of confectionaries that she completed from her stress baking.” The doctor gave the captain a sly grin and leaned forward on her desk. “You know, you could arrange a position for her on the ship. Captain’s personal Chef maybe? We’d only need to clear a couple of rooms to ensure she could have an adequate kitchen to meet her particular demands, and a medium cargo hold for fresh ingredient storage.” The Doctor grinned mischievously as she leaned back into her chair. “This isn’t what you came here for, what can I do for you Captain?”
