== Officer's Quarters Deck 6 ==
Dr Lim arrived at her quarters on Deck 6. As the door swooshed open, she remembered that she hadn't had time to unpack and clear everything away. Lois was so tired and still emotional about the embarrassing mistake in 10 Forward that she decided to go to bed and read a little before sleep. Reading was a good way of distracting her mind from the events in 10 forward. And the best thing to read for sleep was a medical journal!
After reading about three pages Lois closed her eyes for about a minute and then opened them again, read the three sentences that she had already read and realized that she had fallen into a light sleep. It was time for a proper sleep. So, she laid her head on the pillow and fell into a deep, deep sleep.
Lois dreamed dreams, the same dream over and over with slight variations, she was addressing all the medical staff in an unfamiliar Sickbay, explaining the way she wanted the Sickbay to run. And it wasn't going down too well with the staff, she could tell by the body language and murmuring amongst those gathered. She heard someone amongst the staff in a stage whisper say something like, "What does she know, who does she think she is...?"
The surly side of Lois snapped. "Who said that?" No one owned up, there was just silence. "For those who have something to say, after this meeting my door will be open and you can come and say it to my face, because I'm the Chief Medical Officer, that's who I am! And in this Sickbay the buck stops with me!
[It's 06.00 hrs. Time to rise Dr Lim.] said the auto computer alarm.
Lois rubbed her eyes, stretched, and raised herself to sit on the side of the bed.
I was in a strange sick bay? And I said something, but I can't remember where I was or what I said? Oh well!
"Computer read out my schedule for today, please?"
[09.00 hrs. The whole medical staff meeting in Sickbay. After lunch full inventory of medical and other supplies.]
This meeting will be helpful; I'm looking forward to that. But inventories! and Lois let out a long sigh.
For now, it was breakfast, shower, dress and off to Sickbay early, to finish preparations for the 09.00 meeting.
