no_fastolfeIt was certainly not a medical coma in any way. It was like sleep-- a long, untroubled sleep, with elements of physiological stasis to prevent muscular decay and other unwanted bodily functions.
I nearly wish I hadn't woken up. This ship looks like a dead world and the archives are full of fear and missing people. I can be no help, could have been no help. I would rather have gone on sleeping.
[Private to Sherlock after some backreading]
I am not redeemed and continue to have no idea-- or urgency to find out-- what the terms of my redemption are.

You are well, then?
[Infirmary filter and Sherlock]
I am going to need the services of a mentologist. I would like to discuss options for medications. It became extremely apparent during the involuntary honesty flood that my mental state is not what it was at home, and that I have had little success controlling my reactions to stress.
[Here's where pride intersects awkwardly with some kind of vestigial empathy] However I am hardly in dire need, the situation is still largely under my control: I realize that the infirmary is short staffed and there was a concern of injury resultant from the barge phenomena.

We don'tn have a psychologist per say, just people like Owen and myself who've had some training. It's not my area of expertise, but I'm willing to listen and try and work through this with you.

Date: 2011-10-10 02:58 pm (UTC)And I appreciate it, doctor. But for reasons quite clear after the recent flood, it may better that I speak to someone with whom I have a greater emotional remove.
[Infirmary docs and Sherlock]
Date: 2011-10-10 03:19 pm (UTC)Alright. There's Owen and the Doctor for that.
In the meantime, I can just be a friend and offer tea.

Date: 2011-10-11 01:41 am (UTC)Of course not, Count. I wished to know how you were doing myself. There are fewer people aboard than I would like with whom I can have a pleasant conversation.
[Someone else might note that 'friends' being mapped to the set of 'other inmates with whom she's had one net-polite conversation' is somewhat sad, and that the fact that that list is five people long is sadder, but she's all self-examined out for a bit.]

Date: 2011-10-13 12:33 am (UTC)I find that the whole overcrowding thing is a bit of a concern. I have been in siege before, and when you have situations like this it strikes me as a prime risk for both pressure-related violence and disease transmission. I do not much have to worry about these things, but then, I heal very quickly. My friends and associates here do not.
A question: do you have a personal light source available?
