JP Lt JG Charlena Vanlith & Lt Wil Ukinix - Care Package

[Sophie Philbrook]

((Sickbay, Deck 6, USS Veritas))

Charlena groaned slightly in her biobed and winced as she opened her eyes to the bright light. She let her hand fall to the side and off the bed it came into contact with something she wasn’t expecting. Something moved and she almost screamed until she heard a voice. 

BAXTER: Charlena you’re awake. 

Charlena smiled weakly and turned to look at him, lifting her hand to pet his head gently. 

Vanlith: Hey buddy. I missed you. But I’m ok. 

BAXTER licked Charlena’s hand as she scratched behind his ear before pulling herself into an upright position rubbing her eyes and fully waking up now as she let her hand rest on BAXTERs head. 

BAXTER: You are in sickbay. By definition that makes you not ok. 

Vanlith: ::chuckling:: That is true I guess, how about this then. I wasn’t ok, but now I’m awake I’m fine and can get back to work.  

BAXTER: You will not return to work until declared medically fit. 

Charlena swore she could almost see a frown across his face as he said that and had to stop herself from laughing at his adorable protectiveness. 

Vanlith: Ok BAXTER. I’ll stay of course I’ll stay. Why don't you come up here and join me buddy?

Charlena patted her biobed by her leg and just as BAXTER jumped up she was sure she heard a voice by the door. Petting BAXTER she turned to see who it was. 

Vanlith: Wil? 

Wil carried a toolbox that was suspended from a strap over his shoulder.  In the toolbox he had the object he had replicated in main engineering.

Ukinix: Char!  You OK?  I raced up as soon as I heard.  Well, almost as soon as I could-

Vanlith: ::Chuckling:: Well aren’t you a sight for sore eyes. Nice to know you’re back safely. Guess the modifications worked. 

Ukinix: You did great, Lieutenant.

Vanlith: Wait what’s that? 

Ukinix: ::Grabbing toolkit:: Oh, um - well, I brought something for you.  To help you get better.

Wil looked around sickbay.  None of the nurses, or the new Doctor Eilari were looking, so he opened up the toolbox, and pulled out a hard plastic cylinder that had a long tube coming out of it.  He handed it to Char.

Ukinix: ::Lowered Voice:: It’s a Risian Mai Tai.  Complete with a long straw.

Vanlith: And you choose now to bring it? ::chuckling::

Ukinix: Shhh!  ::looking around, hushed voice::  Well… I did promise you one.  And you collapsed from exhaustion, I assumed you’d need hydration-

BAXTER: ::tilts head whilst curled up on Charlena's lap:: Ukinix. W this is a strange gift for someone in sickbay.  

Ukinix: ::quietly:: No, no, Baxter, shhh…

BAXTER: Ukinix. W a drink like this will not help Charlena. She should consume water and fresh food until her strength is fully recovered.

Vanlith: ::petting BAXTER:: Its ok buddy. He’s just trying to help cheer me up just like you are.

Worried that the medical staff would start looking around and notice the “care package” that Wil had brought Char, he decided to get the doggo in trouble.

Ukinix: ::To Medical Staff, smirking:: Hey, what's this dog doing in here!

BAXTER barked in protest.

Ukinix: ::To Baxter:: Oh, you little bugger.

Eilari/Any: Response

BAXTER: My name is BAXTER. I am a Benevolent and Xenodochial Technological Emergency Responder built by the patient Charlena Vanlith. I am medically adapted to be on assistance.

Eilari/Any: Response

Ukinix: Oh? Um ::hiding cylinder behind his back:: nothing, it’s um - nothing.

Vanith: Just something to help cheer me up. ::petting BAXTERs head gently smirking at Wil::

Eilari/Any: Response

Ukinix: Well, it’s - well… it’s a hydration supplement.  It’s got orange, which mean it’s full of vitamin C, it’s got two fruits in it-

Eilari/Any: Response

Ukinix: It might have a ::holding up thumb and forefinger:: a tiny bit of Saurian Brandy in it?

Vanlith: Yeah it’s not a lot. 

Ukinix:  ::shrugging shoulders:: I dunno, how many millilitres is two shots?

BAXTER: When alcohol is added to drinks it is measured by...

Ukinix: ::Whispering:: Baxter, shutup!

BAXTER barked in response. He was becoming frustrated by Ukinix. W’s disinterest in keeping his owner safe and healthy. He bit back a growl, leaning into the pets from Charlena 

Wil grinned innocently at the doctor.

Eilari/Any: Response
