[Vimyridge] SD940927.19 Justin gets some help (Lox, C. Blake, Wilkinson)

[J]

Justin walked into sickbay, and took a moment to look around.

Sickbay was its usual orchastrated chaos with the dimminutive CMO directing
things.  The doc look a bit frazzled but she smiled as she spotted Justin.
"Can I help you?"

"Um.. yes.  I need something to help me get to sleep.. I think." Justin
said. "It's also.. almost time for my physical.  I figured I'd come in and
see if there was anything wrong... and see if I could gets some help."

Cait blinked twice, then three times. "Help with sleep I can do. Physical,
not so much. We're way too swamped, though perhaps I should send you to the
counsellor, cause no one in their right mind asks for a physical...that's
just not done." She looked around and pulled Justin over to a biobed that just
emptied. "I'll just do a scan to make sure you're not ill and we'll see
about helping your sleep."

"Doc.. I try to avoid sickbay.. and when I do need to come in.. for whatever
reason, I try to get as much done as needed."  He got up on the biobed and
let her do her job.  "Speaking of... there are two biobeds in one of the
secondary sickbays that are scheduled for upgrades.. would you coordinate
with your staff about 3 hours work time for each one?  I'll have a team ready to
go
once we have your scheduling."

 Kat walked  in to sickbay heading for one of the medical supply cabinets to
retrieve a a medkit. when she'd overheard commander Lox. "you know I try to
avoid it too." she said jokingly making ligtht of her own fears of sickbay.

Cait gave Kat a smile as she came through and then turned back to Justin.
"It'll have to wait till this crisis is over, Justin...Now, tell me why you
haven't been sleeping?"

"That's part of the problem.  I don't know.  I've tried relaxation
methods, warm milk, soothing sounds, and any number of other methods to
try and get to sleep... nothing so far has worked." Justin replied
tiredly.

As the results of Justin's scan came up, Cait had to wonder if the whole
crew was going to self-destruct. "Well, I know what the problem is." She
looked at Justin straight in the eyes. "You're over worked and over
stressed. Its affecting your blood pressure, labs, everything. Even Lox is
affected. I can give you something to help to help you sleep but you're
gonna have to slow down and take time for yourself...and yeh, I know,
impossible right now. You have to eat 3 meals a day at least and not a
working meal either. I mean sitting down and actually taking time to smell
your food. I also want you to schedule a meeting with the counselor. She
really can help you."

"Understood Doc.  I have a full 12 hours down time scheduled for myself
starting in 6 hours, so unless we have something I MUST respond to... I'll
start there. If this place ever settles down enough for a full day off, I'll
take
that too. As for seeing the Councilor... is that an order?" Justin asked.

"Yes, that's an order." Cait pressed a hypo to his neck. "This will
counteract some of the physical manifestations of your stress. I would
prefer took some time off right now cause I know its all gonna hit the fan soon
as
we start heading planetside."

"When you go planetside.  I can't, the radiation is already at lethal levels
for a Trill.  I'm stuck here, I'm sending Lt. Honeydew with you. " Justin
said.

Cait snorts. "You think I don't know that? Do you honestly believe you're
gonna have it easy up here? Dream on. We both know how that's gonna go."

Justin laughed "Yeah.. I know.  Thanks Doc.  Between your hypo and the good
laugh, things look better already."

"Go and eat something now. I'm gonna program some extra vitamins and such
into the next few meals for you. That'll help things get back to normal as
well." Cait patted his arm.

Justin sighed.  "It will have to be a working meal, but I will make up for
it as soon as I can."  He said up and slid off the bed. "Do you have anything
that
needs repaired in sickbay?  I noticed a lack of repair and upgrade requests
from your department, Commander."

"Justin, stop trying to find work. If you have time to look for something to
do, you have to sit down and eat...infact, I'll order you to come to the
lounge with me if you think that would help?" Cait put her hands on her hips
and glared at him.

"Doctor... I will eat, and just as soon as I leave here.  The problem is 
that I have not received any reports of damage, maintenance, or upgrades for
your
department in several months.  This is not something that normally happens. 
I do not wish for more work, however, if things are left unchecked.. that 
means even more work for my department later.  Possibly at a time we don't have 
time to do the work, but have to find the time anyway.  I'm trying to prevent 
more work, not add to it.  I didn't say we would get to it right away." Justin 
smiled "A light lunch, with such a lovely person would be relaxing.  Maybe we
could 
get the XO to join us?"

"There's been no work orders because currently, everything is working or it 
was something I could do. As for getting the XO to eat with us, good luck. 
He doesn't have a lot of time right now." Cait clasped her hands behind her 
back and headed for the door.

Justin followed.  He needed to eat.. so best follow the doctor.
