"Why did they have two tails, then?" Ceran
asked, looking at the holo hovering in front of her.
"Nobody really knows for sure," Serana replied,
"Although the general theory is that it helped them maneuver in water."
They were studying Venasian ocean creatures.
Since Ceran wasn't able to go to school on Earth right now due to security
risks, Serana had started home schooling Ceran, if anything to keep her
daughter's mind off her errant brother.
In the middle of the lesson, Serana got a call.
"Uhh... Doctor D'amondra?"
"Yes. Hello, Lucas," she greeted, turning on
the vidscreen.
Relief at her normal restored appearance registered
on his face, followed closely by worry. "Uh, sorry to bother you. I
heard you were out of surgery, but I ddin't want to bother you in post-op, and I
wouldn't if it weren't a pretty big emergency, but there isn't enough
staff..."
"What is it, Lucas?" Serana cut
in.
"It's Admiral Garibaldi, Doctor. He was one of the casualties in the attack at the Lasiter
funeral..."
Serana frowned. "I wasn't told what
happened... never mind. Is it bad?"
"It looks bad, Doc. He took a direct
hit. It's been a while since I was in the field, and I'm not trained for
ER surgery..."
"I know what you've been trained in, Lucas," Serana
said briskly, rising, "Is he stabilized?"
"Yes."
"Keep him there. I'll be there in 2
minutes."
Ceran shrieked, "MOM! Dr. Carlisle made me
PROMISE you wouldn't go out before he said it was okay!" She jumped up and down
in panic.
Serana pulled on her uniform jacket, ignoring the
twinges she felt in her epidermis. Actually, he daughter was probably
right. "Water bug, I would agree if I had just internal surgery.
But I had skin grafts, and a friend of mine is in bad shape. I have to go,
dear." She knelt down. "Try to understand, Ceran. You have my
memories. You know how long Garibaldi has been my friend."
Ceran frowned, and after an eternity, she nodded
sternly. "Okay. But if you feel *anything* at all, then you have to call
Dr. Brennan."
"Deal, water bug."
A few minutes later, Serana walked into Sickbay and
found Garibaldi. "Status," she said crisply to Lucas.
(ooc: what *is* Garibaldi's status?)
