(Takes place after the meeting with the XO)
Gerald looked at his wrist, a Hamilton MIL-W-46374 adorned his wrist that had been passed down through the soldiers in the Hopkins family since 1981. The original watch was locked away safe on earth, this one was an exact replica of it, but should Gerald ever have something requiring a dress uniform the antique comes back into service. Interestingly enough that watch was radioactive to this day given the paint used to make the the hands luminous. The replica on the other hand glowed in the dark, but was less dangerous at least in that regard. The watch read 10 (or 22 but Gerald knew he hadn’t been in a meeting for over 8 hours) and he knew he had scheduled his medical check up for 10:30. He wasn’t looking forward to it, not because he disliked doctors, but because there were always questions and given the now advanced stages of rejection he was sure they would want to fix him. It was sweet really, young doctors wanting to make sure he was doing well, but they didn’t live with it on a day to day basis. He couldn’t fault them though and headed for sickbay to check in.
