Doc found himself aboard Vaelin's ship unsure of where he was going or what he was to be doing. He brought everything he would need, at least he hoped that he did, to treat his friend. During the flight, his mind was with his now sleeping daughter and the twins who were being cared for on Med Force One. The shock of being a single father was like a kick-in-the-teeth and he kept asking himself how to handle it. He didn't have anyone who could really fill a mother's role and in his mind, it was wrong to take on a wife for that reason only. Still, he knew he would find a way, he always did. The hardest part was watching Emiko grieve, knowing all he could do was comfort her.
Thoughts were also with Ashlea. She was beautiful and there was genuine love. She was someone he could spend a lifetime with but he didn't want to be too fast. He hadn't had the chance to tell her of Midori's death. How would she react having three children around that weren't even hers? I mean, she may want some of her own although Doc didn't think it was a bad thing. What if she was already carrying? After all, they did have a very intimate night together and it only took once. These were thoughts going through his mind. He would have time to address them all soon enough. To break his mood, he found some coffee and went to find Vaelin.
Taking a sip of the coffee, he asked of him, "Once we're done with this mission, would you be able to take me to Planet Honshu? I have someone I must give condolence to in person. I can have my shuttle pick me up there later."
