Visiting Hours (Semi-Open)

[Teerin]

Rohj Teerin - 156 days after planetfall.

---

Teerin waited at the reception desk for the gentleman behind it to verify the appointment to see Admiral Hartman. When done, he was handed a hospital visitor's badge with which to pin onto his jacket. "I wonder if she'll recognize me without the uniform on," he thought to himself, humorously.

He peered down one of the old hallways connected to the check-in area to see if her room was in that direction, but it wasn't. The next one ... had the right series of room numbers. Rohj walked down the hall, and it wasn't long before he reached Jane's door. Through the small window slit above the handle, he saw his colleague and friend. Since no one else was presently visiting, nor was there a doctor attending to her, he knocked without worry of interrupting, then opened the sliding door and came in.

Her head was turned away, staring blankly out the window, but at the sound of someone entering, she slowly turned to face him. Teerin saw a chair in the corner behind him, then sat down in it, and greeted her, "It's good to see you again, old friend! I know things have been difficult for you, and I ... would've showed up sooner, but things have been quite busy."

He smiled warmly, then continued, "I mustn't bore you with such talk, though. Are the doctors treating you well enough here?"
