"Medical Worries"
Previous Post: "Metal Head-Ache"

Setting: USS ANUBIS, Sickbay
Doctor Halliwell was in sickbay with Lt. Cmdr. Maya.
"How have you been so far?" Maya asked with a certain curiosity.
"I have been good; I have treated a patient earlier as you can see," Liz answered unsurely pointing at crewman Ednie.
"Yes, I heard he had severe burns from Elan I hope he'll make a full recovery," Maya commented with a sign of hope.
Halliwell nodded and smiled. "Excuse me Commander, could I ask you a question?" The Ensign asked a little concerned.
Maya noticed the concern directly and answered politely, "Of course Ensign, ask away."
"Well," Liz began, "I was wondering how you felt about passing through Cardassian space?"
Maya took a deep breath and answered, "Well, I guess every crew member has their own concerns about it but I'm not exactly frightened but I do not either feel that comfortable, I mean to say that I'm not scared nor do I feel normal, this just between those two."
The Doctor understood what the ExO intended to say by that although the way it was phrased was a bit confusing.
"I understand what you mean by that," Liz answered back.
"Oh, Liz said surprised,"" My duty shift is over if you want we can head to my quarters for something to drink?"
"Certainly, that would be splendid," Maya said smirking.

They walked down the corridor as bumping into the friendly giant, Elan.
"Salutations Healer and Commander, it is pleasure encountering you here," Elan said respectfully.
"Hello Elan, how are you?" Maya greeted back.
"I feel good indeed, and if I may ask how are you Healer and Commander?" He answered graciously.
"Well, I guess we both feel lovely," The *healer* answered looking up to the giant.
"That is certainly delightful to here, where are you heading?" Elan asked curiously but polite.
"Well we're heading to my quarters for something to drink, we'd love it if you joined us," Doctor Halliwell asked hoping for more company.
Liz loved to be around people, but not too much.
"It would be honored to join you as we go have a beverage," Elan said taking a small bow.
Liz blushed red.

The three of them went to have a seat.
"Elan what beverage would you like?" Elizabeth enquired.
"Could I please have just some water," Elan replied.
"And you Maya?" Elizabeth asked ready to get the next drink.
"Uhm could I please have some orange juice?" Maya answered looking happy.
"Okay, uhm," Liz muttered as she got a glass of water, orange juice and a cup of tea.
"Here you go," Liz said when quickly putting the glasses on the table.
Maya gazed down the room spotting a picture.
"Who's that girl on the picture?" Maya enquired carefully.
Liz turned around and saw the picture and went to get it.
"This is me at my karate class and, do you see that man and woman and little boy in that back? Those are my parents and my older brother."
Elan and Maya both got a chance to look at the picture and both of them smiled after having taken a look at it.
"You studied martial arts when you where younger Healer?" Elan asked after having taken a second look.
The healer nodded and assumed, "I think I was 7 years old at that picture."
"When I feel troubled I look at that picture a lot." Liz smirked.
Maya let out a little chuckle.
"I feel troubled about Enaii, I wonder how we are going to handle the situation with our ships ILO ," Liz muttered.
"We will find a way Healer, I am sure you will find a alternative." Elan whispered quietly.
"But that is not what I'm most worried about." The CMO who was worrieng a lot these days, said.
"Yes, I think we know what you mean, the Imperians." The ExO said satisified of her statement.
"Exactly, I mean they are some freaky robots who are in Cardassian space!" Liz said losing herself.
"We will find a way to negoiate with this new mechanical species." Maya started seeing only the good in this situation.
"A good lesson I have learned is to stay calm and see how everything works out." Elan said.
After those words the USS ANUBIS crewmembers went into complete silence...
