Naomi:-- Hey Sam, you got a minute? Sam:---- Hey doc! Sure, what do you need? Naomi:-- I've been checking your records and I see you haven't been in for an exam in almost 3 month's! Sam:---- Well I've been busy, there's a lot to do around here you know. Naomi:-- I know, I know, you don't have to tell me, but you really should come in. Sam:---- I'll see if I can make time okay? Naomi:-- Actually Sam...... It's not okay. I've booked an appointment for you this afternoon at 2pm. Sam:---- ......that's not necessary...... I'm fine! Naomi:-- Are you? Kaytha tells me you've skipped your last three E.T.S.A. meetings, also, regular physicals are mandatory! Sam:---- Why? It's not as though I go into the field anymore, I spend my time in the labs these days. Naomi:-- Exactly! Your wounds require regular attention, we need to make sure you're healing and that the grafts have taken. Sam:---- I know, but...... Naomi:-- Also you do spend too much time down here! Your friends are concerned about you, they don't see you anymore! Sam:---- Like I said, I've been busy...... Naomi:-- Sam!...... We miss you! You know we only want to help! Sam:---- I don't want your pity! Naomi:-- Sam...... You know us better than that, come on, tell me what's bothering you? Sam:---- Like I said I have things to do, I'm in the middle of a diagnostics here. Naomi:-- /sigh...... You can tell me Sam, this isn't like you! Please? Sam:---- Is there anything else? Naomi:-- ...... Kaytha said she can fit you in at 4pm today. Sam:---- I don't need her help...... I don't need yours either...... I'm fine! Just tell everyone to leave me alone! Naomi:-- You know I can't do that. People are concerned, and if you skip these appointments you know what will happen. Sam:---- I DON'T WANT YOU PITY! Naomi:-- Sam! Don't do this, you'll leave me no...... Sam:---- Just go away! Naomi:-- ......as I was saying, you'll leave me no choice. If you don't keep these appointments I'll have to declare you unfit for duty! Sam:---- Leave me alone! My work is all I have left...... you can't do that! Naomi:-- I'm sorry but I can, and I will if I think it's necessary. I don't want to but regulations state I must sign off on you before you can go out again. Sam:---- ...... Naomi:-- Listen, some of us are going to meet for lunch in the cafeteria and we want you to join us. Hitomi, Jelana and Zoe will be there. Sam:---- I eat in the labs. Naomi:-- So I see, I hope that's not all you're eating these days? Junk food isn't good for you. Are you still taking the suppliments I prescribed? Sam:---- ...... (Sniffles) Naomi:-- It's my treat, I'll get you a decent salad okay? Sam:---- Look, give me some time. Let me finish the diagnostic, if I'm done before lunch I'll come up, okay? Naomi:-- Sam...... Okay, we hope to see you for lunch, we'll be there till 1pm. Sam:---- Okay. Naomi:-- And I'll see you at 2pm? And you'll go see Kaytha at 4pm? Sam:---- Sure. Naomi:-- Okay then...... Hey I see Micha is still fast asleep. Sam:---- Yeah she could sleep through a storm! Naomi:-- Hehe...... I'll head off then, thanks for your time. I'll see you later! Sam:---- Yeah......

Sam:---- ......(Quiet sobbing)
