Eris on Cardamine

[Doc Holliday]

Doc paced in his office, alone now in thought. He had a golden opportunity presented to him. He could resume his work on the Nomads and hopefully one day prove humanity wrong on them. For now, that was putting the cart before the horse.

He then took an empty shot glass and filled it with the strongest stuff he had, some Blood Wine. He shot down the first glass. Even with Blood Wine, he had to make a face and wait a minute between shots. A minute later, he shot another. He then made his way to a surgical ward. On the way, he called on his chief surgeon to meet him.

He showed Ed the device in his chest. "Ed, I need it out, now."
Doc lay down on the table with his top off. After a brief scan, the surgeon gave Doc a general and made him comfortable. With a laser scalpel, he removed the device within a few minutes. He studied it and asked a weary Doc what it was.
"Garbage," Doc answered, "now help me up and to my quarters." Ed did as requested. Again, Doc was alone albeit a bit sore. He asked the guard outside for his disruptor pistol. Setting it on high, he shot the device, disintegrating it. He then handed it back to the guard with a thank you and returned to his quarters.

He had made up his mind. He was going on the trip. Now, it was time to rest.
