It was three days later when Alexis finished. Once she had determined the correct conversion formulas the work moved quickly.
She’d worked double shifts and along with the other medical staff Dr Walker sent the work had moved at a steady pace. They had 2000 units/dosages of each. Alexis wasn’t sure of the numbers of ill or wounded needing help but felt that was a good start. Once finished she appeared back in primary Sickbay and knocked on Walker’s office door.Lt Bonner, med research
He opened the door, almost surprised to see her. “Hello, Dr. Bonner,” he said. “How can I help you today?”
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff“You asked to be informed of the quantities and types of supplies we converted.” Bonner handed over a PaDD. “2000 units of each. We have the chemical conversions saved to the database now so it will be simple to convert more if necessary.”

Brad took the PaDD and read through the list quickly, letting out his breath in a low whistle. “You did all this in just under three days?” he asked, impressed.
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff“Dr. Tija was very helpful and competent. (OOC I know she never responded but incase she wanted to step in later I wanted to give credit) I also put 3 of the medical labs and chemistry lab to work on it. Everyone put in extra hours, but it was important to have these done before we arrived. Once we had the conversions figured out the work wasn’t hard just time consuming. But we were able to adjust the formulas to work on large batches instead of individual vials, and that shortened the work amount.” What Alexis didn’t saw was she worked almost around the clock on it. It really wasn’t surprising. Once her mind had ahold of the process she could fly through the work.
“I’m sure you put in the most,” Brad said, “You look like you haven’t slept in at least two days.” He was starting to despair that he was working with a bunch of workaholics.

Chief of StaffBonner smiled and shrugged. “It needed to get done, and I got a nap. I’m off the rest of today and tomorrow. Unless you think we need more and I’ll get started.” Alexis lived for work. Everyone else that had been working was thrilled to be finished and be off.

Brad shook his head. “This is certainly enough to get us started,” he said. “I want you well rested by the time we reach the colony, just in case the formulae need further adjustment to meet the needs we actually find.”
He wondered if he’d have to come up with some kind of disincentive to keep Bonner out of the labs when she wasn’t supposed to be on shift…
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffInwardly Alexis sighed. The conditions for her to be ‘well rested’ were different than most. Alexis couldn’t rest if her mind was running on over drive. Hence all the extra hours she put in. But right now she’d been working a lot so her mind was calm…relatively. “Of course, Dr Walker. I’ve been assigned to the new R&D lab and it won’t be ready for two more days, so I have time.” Alexis could find work to do if she wanted, which she probably would… “If you need me to make more though, I’m happy to come in,” and because she knew Dr Walker wouldn’t put up with her ‘doing it all’, “The PaDD contains the names over everyone who worked with each compound, so you can ask them as well. If the conversions need adjusting though, please let me know.”
Brad nodded. He would certainly do so if needed, but his definition of ‘need’ probably greatly differed from hers.
Then there was a short three trilled beep from the ever present PaDD she always had with her own reading and research on it. She glanced down at it and then back at Walker. “If there’s nothing else, Frigga has finished her visits in Psychiatry and they need me to pick her up.”
Lt Bonner, med research
“Of course,” Brad said. “If I may, Dr. Bonner, perhaps take her for a nice walk through the Arboretum?”
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff“Frigga loves the arboretum,” Bonner replied a little absently, and then a thought occurred to her. “You never got to meet her did you? You should, some of the doctors and nurses make use of her training. She loves meeting new people, especially if they can throw a ball better than I can.”
Lt Bonner, med research
“Is that all I am to you, Doctor? A slightly stronger set of biceps?” Brad asked with a teasing tone, but belying it by stepping more fully out of his office and allowing its door to close behind him. The PaDD she’d given him was slipped into a coat pocket.
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff
The tease flew right by Alexis completely unnoticed. “Generally, male muscles have a higher capacity for anaerobic metabolism and generate a higher maximum power output than female muscles. A study conducted back in 2016 showed men had higher relative strength in BS (P<0.001) and CP (P<0.001) 1RM tests when compared to females and it’s still relevant today.” The PaDD trilled again and Alexis cleared the alarm. “I’ll bring her by soon.” Alexis moved toward the outer exit for sickbay and the turbolift down to counseling.
