Hi, what can I help you with?

// DEGAR

Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you. And by now, you should've somehow realized what you're not to do.

( He'll just nod to that, and keep his opinion on crewing a space station without a doctor to himself. Madness! )

Good, ( Viv gets a more vehement nod from him, his stance relaxing a fraction. ) That's what I like to hear.

( Rubbing the center of his palm with his thumb, he continues, )

You got a well-stocked infirmary, Viv, but there's a few more supplies I'd like to have on hand. Are there facilities aboard to synthesize medications, or do you stock them from an outside source?

[vivecai]

Your best bet for that is the lab, but if you'd like for the infirmary to include such equipment and facilities, you need to give me a little time to work on it.

[ she can do it, include those in the infirmary, but it requires some careful work on the station. ]

In the meantime, you may request whatever you need to come in with the supply drop.

[homeostatic]

( He'll just go ahead and look surprised, because he wasn't expecting that kind of offer. )

That's... yes, I would, thank you. I'll forward you my list once I'm back in the infirmary.

( It's long, Viv, sorry not sorry. Medicines, first-aid supplies, tools from home, materials to patch up the two Cybertronians, and Starfleet medical texts, for the training he'd like to do. He'd like a medical library-- he'd like a library at all --but those are the basics. )

I have a few more questions. ( And he'll just blaze on ahead: ) How does the Commander plan to provide for the mental health needs of the crew?

[vivecai]

I look forward to it.

[ said a little dryly, but with she knows how important this is for the entire team.

the question gets a pause. ]

Not by talking to them, that's for sure. I... I don't think he's thought of that much, actually. His priority right now is making sure you're all in one piece. I'm not much of a therapist, either. We thought the Sunlight Room would help people feel more at home and provide a place to relax, but...

[ but that's pretty much it. ]

[homeostatic]

( Not what he likes to hear, but knowing that now makes moving forward much easier. Time to crowdsource solutions.

But something else she's said draws an expression of concern across his face. )

...Viveca, how long has it been since the Commander's had contact with anyone else? Outside yourself? Prolonged, meaningful contact, ( McCoy adds, just to underline that. )

Does he have anyone else?

[vivecai]

... it's been a while.

[ she doesn't elaborate, but from the faint reluctance in the way she says it it's easy to guess it's really been a while. ]

I talk to him every day, and he talks to me. So far, we've done okay. But I'm sure he'll be grateful for your concern.

[homeostatic]

( He won't bother to school away that concern from his features, and neither will he belabor the point. McCoy thinks of the other men and women he's met, manning outposts out in the cosmos, those among them who fell prey to the loneliness of those solitary postings. )

...Thank you, Viveca. I appreciate it.

[vivecai]

No need to thank me... I do what I can. And thank you, for taking care of the team.

[ they... desperately need that. otherwise, rip team. ]
