Having showered and putting on a clean uniform Cross headed to the Lounge were she was suppose to meet Faith and Ade.Looking around she saw neither, ordering a drink and finding an empty table by the window the doctor gazed outside at the darkness.Her feelings were kind of mixed now that she had made it back on the Merrimack. though she knew it was a decision not taken lightly on her part.

Not long after she had taken her seat by the window, Ade walked into the Fantail Lounge. He spotted Miriam, ordered a drink for himself and then made his way over to her table. “Okay to join you?” Ade asked, “Only I heard about the death in surgery today, and you seem deep in your own thoughts?”

A small smile formed on her first as she gestured for Ade to take a seat ‘’You and Faith invited me remember?’‘ .

‘’Yes quite unfortunate what happened in sickbay and I do intend to find out why he was left there instead of being operated on’‘ Cross replied as she looked back at the darkness outside ‘’I had to leave, was causing to much problems back then ‘’ the female doctor did not mention her abducted male baby. Five years had past since then and it was becoming a distance memory, partially due to the Vulcan who had done the mind meld to help her.

Cross took a sip of whisky then looked at the dentist ‘’What about you Ade?’‘ she asked now holding eye contact with the dentist.

“I get by,” Ade said. “The new combined dental imaging and dental transporter technology, that came, via the Klingons, from some secretive company known only as the FCA, has revolutionised dentistry. I really only do emergency treatments nowadays. That does give me a lot of time to relax though, so I’m not complaining too much!”

Cross frowned ‘’To be honest i don’t know what you are talking about ,all I know is that I do need to visit a dentist’‘ she touched the tooth with her tongue ‘’Ouch’‘ the female doctor uttered.

Ade brightened with the prospect of some real dentistry to do. “Come and see me and I’ll take care of it.”

Ade knew little about the time Cross had spent on Merrimack, except for what Faith had told him, but that didn’t include the stolen baby or the mind-meld.

Faith arrived in the Fantail Lounge. She waved and then went to the bar and ordered a vodka martini.

Faith came over to their table, and seeing the half full glasses said, “I must be late!”

“So good to see you back again,” Faith added.

Cross gave her friend another hug,she was glad to see her after nearly five years ‘’I had the dentist for company ‘’ then as an after thought she went on ‘’Not that I like dentists especially lying down as they fiddle with those dreadful instruments and keep on a conversation when the patient cannot answer with their mouth open’‘ she chuckled .

Then in a more serious tone Cross asked both of them ‘’By any chance do you have any idea about a blast or explosion when the away team was present?’‘.

“I only heard that it was a meteorite strike on the planet’s surface, that hit a busy transport interchange,” Faith told her. “A completely natural event, but one the Alstaireans apparently live with frequently.”
