Meanwhile on Corinth, Omicron-74

[Doc Holliday]

With Louisa standing near Doc's litter, he just looked up to her.
"Nonsense," he said. Midori, knowing what he was about to do, took up a position next to him while Dr. Richards stood behind him, managing the still flowing I.V. bag that kept the anti-inflammatories and anti-biotics and water flowing in him. With the help of his wife, Doc found his way to his feet.

It was obvious he still wasn't well. Midori walked to his left, clutching his arm in hers and twice had to catch him, each time he stopped to say that he was all right. Still, he was very pale, had lost a good deal of weight, was very wobbly on his legs and despite his not saying anything, he still suffered body aches despite the medicines. Still, he refused to swallow his pride and decided to walk into the room and take his seat.
Dr. Richards positioned the I.V. tree behind him and addressed all in the room.
"This man gets no alcohol in his current state, understood?" he asked pointing at everyone. "Mrs. Holliday, as you are a nurse intern and his wife, you are in charge of him." He then turned to Doc, "You get out of hand and I put you back to sleep, got it?"
Doc, his wit still abound, looked at him with a smile, "You're a daisy if you do, Sir."
Dr. Richards could only shake his head. As he walked away, he muttered out loud to himself, "I sometimes don't know whether to love him or hate him."

Doc then looked at his friends assembled around him. Sam Nichols dressed in a suit as was most everyone else. He then looked at himself with hospital gowns and a bathrobe covering that with a pair of slippers on his feet. He then looked up, "You'll have to forgive my attire. It seems someone has taken my Ambassador's robe."
With that, he sat up best he could with the I.V. line in his right arm. Midori then gave him some cold tea and eventually was provided with Ukrainian beet-soup.

"Lt. Katz gave me recipe to this," Midori explained, "he said it will help." Doc took a sip and made a face but swallowed it.
"Definately a taste one must acquire," he responded.
"Just eat," she replied, making sure he did.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am as ready as I'm ever going to be," announced Doc, "I'll do my best to keep up."
