Seeing that sickbay was fully prepared and geared up for any causalities Cross told the medical personnel to take a break, though making it clear that no one should leave the premises. ‘’Lets go to my office ‘’ the CMO told Faith and before the young woman had time to answer Cross had already took her by the arm ‘’ I have an assortment of biscuits which I bought when we were on shore leave…so lets tuck in while we have time’‘.

Cross had no intentions of sharing them with anyone but Faith.

“But aren’t ‘the circumstances dire and situation critical’ or whatever it is that the Captain likes to say whenever there is a red alert?” Faith asked.

Cross rolled her eyes ‘’Faith dear its just a few steps into my office,leaving the door open would give us ample and sufficient time to reach anyone injured, beside all medical personnel have been ordered to stay in sickbay, who am I to stop them from taking a cup of tea or coffee?’‘.

Having stocked on the real thing the female doctor asked the Captain’s niece if she wanted tea or coffee.

“Tea please,” replied Faith. “Don’t you know that about me yet?”

“And no sugar!” Faith added.

‘’I do tend to forget ‘’Cross replied as she opened a box of jam tarts and put them on the desk ‘’Help yourself…by the way is the Captain’s cat still alive?’‘ the female doctor asked hoping Glen’s niece had not forgotten all about it while on shore leave.

“Thank you. Yes, Ginger is still living,” replied Faith, “but don’t ask me where he goes.”

Faith took a strawberry jam tart from the box.

Cross put two cups on her desk ‘’Lets dig in Faith and worry about our waist another time’‘ she said laughing picking one of the jam tarts ‘’Wonder how your uncle would feel if his pet cat died’‘ the doctor commented,while forming an image in her mind of a dead cat and Glen bawling his eyes out.

Faith looked puzzled. The Captain would be upset; wasn’t that the obvious conclusion. However, Faith herself would probably be more upset. Faith fed her and changed her litter tray.

At that moment she looked at Faith ‘’The red alert is down, that was fast don’t you think?’‘ she asked more to herself then anyone else.

“That can only be a good sign,” replied Faith. “We didn’t seem to take any damage.”

For the moment Cross chewed on her jam tart ‘’Mmm.....delicious’‘ she commented forgetting about the cat, the doctor gave the Yeoman a side way glance ‘’Love, when something is too good to be true it probably is ‘’ Cross hypothesized.

“You’re not usually so suspicious or pessimistic,” said Faith. “Do you know something? What did you hear on the Bridge?”

-Faith, Yeoman

‘’Suspicious yes,pessimistic not really ‘’Cross answered while sipping her coffee ‘’From what I saw and heard another star fleet ship was being attacked by two Orion ships and the Merri was hailed to assist.....I guess ‘’ the doctor muttered the last two words’‘Beside I only stayed for a couple of minutes just to know what to expect in sickbay ‘’.
