The medical ward on Event Horizon was quiet at that hour. Three nurses sat at the central desk surrounded by twelve Surgical Rehabilitation rooms, of which three were occupied. It was just after the night shift came on that the doors slid open and a familiar form to the nurses came through holding a tray of three covered mugs in a metal hand. “Fine night, ladies. The weather is great, ain’t it?” rolled the hillbilly drawl they had come to find appealing. Giggling, the Charge Nurse said “What is it this time, Micah? Klingon coffee? Deltan tea? Maybe some Vulcan concoction we haven’t heard of?” and she smiled as Micah approached the desk and set the tray down. “Nope, Andorain hot chocolate.” and the three gasped. “What? Seriously?” the Charge Nurse whispered. “How did you get that on the station? It’s illegal, Micah.” Pikelsimer laughed and said “Who you gonna call? The cops?” and he smiled at her and she shook her head as she came around the desk to pick up the tray. “You are gonna make me fat with all these sweets, Agent.” and she smiled at him and picked up the tray and turned around to go back behind the desk. A noticeable smack issued forth as the non-metal hand made contact with the nurse’s backside and she let forth a soft squeal. “Good woman always has a bit goin’ on in the back, Lola.” and he blew her a kiss and walked over to one of the rooms. The nurse shook her head and blushed simultaneously and then passed out the contraband drinks.
Micah slowly opened the door and went inside. The was single bed in the room, on which lay a human male. He appeared to be sleeping, so Micah simply sat down in the chair next to him and looked at him.
He was healing nicely… especially considering what he had been through. The empty ocular sockets Micah had first seen were now filled with some of the best cybernetic implants available. Many of the cuts and bruises had long since been repaired, but a few remnants of surgeries remained. Micah took a long breath and then said softly “You know, you have’ta be bored as hell just laying there.”
