[Sickbay]

Tom and Harry enter the sickaby. The doctor and a Vulcan nurse are dealing with a patient on a biobed.

"Run a level three diagnostic, just to be sure." says the doctor. He sees Tom and Harry.

"Can I help you?" the Doctor asks.

"Tom Paris, reporting on board." said Tom.

"Oh yes. The pilot." said the doctor coldly.

"That's me. I seem to be observing some kind of problem right now, Doctor." quipped Tom.

"I was a surgeon at the hospital on Caldic Prime at the same time you were stationed there. We never actually met. Your medical records have arrived from your last posting, Mister Paris. Everything seems to be in order. The Captain asked if you were on board. You should check in with her." said the doctor changing the subject.

"Er, I haven't paid my respects to the Captain yet either." said Harry.

"Well, Mister Kim, that would be a good thing for a new operations officer to do." said the doctor.

[Corridor]

Tom and Harry were all walking in the corridor.

"What was that all about?" Harry asked Tom.

"It's a long story, Harry, and I'm tired of telling it. I'm sure someone around here will tell you before long." said Tom.

There's a reason this chapter is short. It's because a part of Kathryn's doesn't have Tom in it.
