Setting: USS HATHOR, Sickbay
While Lea and Susan had their time off which was earned, Liz was working in Sickbay. She was making a couple of scans and finishing of her reports. Then Liz stared down the room at the Medical Bed were Nico lay. She walked up to the bed and stared at the 'patient' for a while. "Weird huh, those *Breen*," Liz said breaking the silence.
Nico however did not answer and remained silent as he had been since his arrival. Liz nodded accepting his decision. "Why am I bothering? All of the brain scans show that he can hear everything that is happening around him, but he just doesn't want to talk. If suddenly he *did* want to say something, I doubt that it would be to me." Liz mumbled to herslef as she walked down to the back of sickbay doing her scans and had her her thoughts to herself. Half way there the aCMO stopped and looked back wondering if she'd ever actually fit in?
When Liz resumed her walking with a hypospray in her hand she tripped over something. Looking down at what had been in her way the aCMO saw another hypospray. She reconised it instantly, it was one of the hypospray she had made to use against the Breen. A smile appeared on her lisp as she thought, **I did help, it's not like nobody likes me or anything its that I don't act out my thoughts that often.** Feeling better about herself Liz walked back up to finish her scans and begin on her medical report for LEa and their CO.

Getting her completed reports together to leave Sickbay the aCMO stared at the Medical Bed once again. Tired though, Liz walked up to the motionless Nausicaan and smiled, "Goodnight," and in a whispered voice she added, "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." Elizabeth nodded again which was starting to turn out as a habbit of hers before she walked out of Sickbay.
Just as the aCMO reached the door she heard a soft voice that had been heard only because of the complete silence in Sickbay. It sounded like "Good... ni... gh... tt..."
Liz turned around and smiled at Nico, glad that she had been able to reach the Nausicaan even if only alittle. "Thank you," she replied and walked out of the room feeling better than she ever had since her arrival.
