(( Science Lab 4, USS Za ))

​Mark: =/\= Mark to Dr. Alexander. =/\=

Alexander: ::taps her commbadge:: =/\= Go ahead, Mark. =/\=

Mark: =/\= Just wanted to let you know, thanks to your efforts the away teams are stable. Thanks to Dr. Skyfire's efforts, the teams are home. He and Maddy are also stabilized. I can only assume the Hocktin guest has been returned to his people. =/\=

::There was a sigh from Alexander, one of relief at the news that had been passed along.  Alora offered her a slight smile.::

​Alexander: =/\= Good to hear, Mark. I still have more batches to mix. Keep me updated.=/\=

Mark: =/\= Understood. Mark out.=/\=

::Her brown was creased in thought and Alora almost hated to interrupt.::

DeVeau: Good news.

Alexander: ::nods:: Mark says they're stable.

::That hadn’t been a secret since the conversation had been overheard, but Alora didn’t point thatout.::

DeVeau: You all right?

Alexander: ::shakes her head:: This was an utter disaster.

DeVeau: Maybe.  Could have been a much worse disaster.

::That virus had been nasty, and it had left a testament as to how nasty.  Like Alexander, Alora was glad it was almost over.::

Alexander: ::grins wryly:: I suppose, yes. I'm sad to say this will likely stick out in my service jacket as one of those infamous missions.

DeVeau: You and me both.

Alexander: ?

DeVeau: Well...I wouldn’t say my worst one…

::No, her worst had been with the Kindred.  At the thought of them, a shiver ran up and down Alora’s spine.  That was a situation she hoped to never repeat.::

DeVeau: But it’s up in the top five, I’d say.

Alexander:  ?

DeVeau: I just hope there aren’t going to be any unexpected lingering effects.

Alexander: ?
