(( Sickbay, Deck 5, USS Octavia E Butler ))
The ensign doctor brought him a bright blue glass of water, which he recognized as Bolian water. Growing up, he was never a fan—likely because his mother would give it to him when he was sick, and he'd associated the two.
Nis: Well . . . you did, didn’t you?
Arlill: No I didn (beat) Nevermind, maybe I did.
Toxin felt it best not to share anything about Henri still, that was an explanation for another day.
Nis: You probably just don’t remember. Good instincts, though. So tell us about yourself, sir--how did you end up in Starfleet?
Arlill: I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be when I grew up but I knew I wanted to fly. So when my mother, who’s primarily an engineer at heart, supported my ambitions I headed to MIT in Boston Massachusetts, olde Earth name.
Nis: Wow, MIT before Starfleet? You must’ve been pretty young. I was young when I picked up Nis here :: patting her belly :: younger than normal, anyway. It was tough--I feel like it kind of ended my teen years a little sooner than all my friends. :: Sighing :: Our. Our friends.
Arlill: I can’t imagine that’s easy. I’m not feeling so well.
Toxin could feel a wave of nausea come over him.
Nis: Fair enough. If you do experience any weird thoughts or feelings, you’ll let us know, right?
oO Weird thoughts? Why would they say that? Oo
Arlill: What do you mean weird thoughts? .
Nis: Well, we’ll let you get some rest. Remember, don’t drink. Hopefully we’ll see you on the Dyson ring. We’re super excited!
Arlill: Yes Doctor.
