A New Life for the Broken Bird

[Doc Holliday]

The next morning, Doc was having his cup of coffee by the window in his quarters overlooking Planet Eris when before the base, Med Force One de-cloaked.
"What the...." said Doc in surprise. His com immediately sounded and it was his old friend and ship commander, James Haddock.

"I heard of the renovations going on there so I figured I would bring some better facilities," he said with a laugh. "Besides, I haven't been here in awhile and both Dr. Kosugi and Dr. Rikkard needed a lift."
"Good to hear you again, James," Doc replied, "meet me in the docking bay on station." With that, Doc made a fast walk to the bay to meet his friend where the two men shook hands and began talking.
"Yes, we are renovating as we are adding more storage space and more offices" Doc explained. "It has been a bit on the noisy side of late with workers and the comings and goings of transports."
"Well, Doc, you can always do the procedure aboard Med Force. You will all have peace and we will stay cloaked and hidden," replied James. "You also have proper facilities."

He was right. The surgery ward would be quiet, the Rejuvenator in good order and Dr. Kosugi's office was right on ship. It all made sense. James returned to his ship on an extended docking moor while Doc went to greet his patient. As he walked toward Sonja's quarters, a thought came to mind....Nomad remains used for study. How would Admete feel? Either she would hate him or he could make a good show with a return to their people. Only time would tell. Perhaps Admete would finally be able to give Doc what he always wanted.....a chance to be able to treat the medical needs of the Nomads. A dream come true for sure. For now, he let the thought go as he approached Sonja's door, rang the buzzer and waited with a smile and hands behind his back.
