Dr Foley tapped the security code into the panel by the door to his quarters and yawned as the doors slid open and he entered.
" Computer set my alarm for 5 hours from now please" he said as he entered and draped his medical coat over the chair.
Calvins quarters were small but the Dr had infused them with a little character using the things he had brought aboard with him. Agaisnt one wall stood a book shelf which held several volumes about exotic plants and botany , the martial arts and practices of the Shaolin and various other books concerning ancient earth history.
In the centre of the room a small round table stood upon which stood a small selection of strange looking exotic plants from various different planets which Calvin took a great deal of care maintaining and looking after. Other than this the room was pretty bare except for a blunt Shaolin broadsword that was mounted on the wall above his bed.
Yawning again Foley didn't even bother to undress. He simply collapsed on the bed and within minutes was fast asleep.
For Dr Foley it barely felt like a few minutes between him shutting his eyes and the computer switching the lights on in his room and alerting him to the fact that his rest period was over and it was time to continue work.

Dr Foley entered his room after another exhausting shift in sickbay. He avoided the Officers Mess deciding to eat pn his own again. He strolled over to the replicator.
" Steak , well done , with chips and a glass of red wine" he said and watched as the food appeared.
He then sat down at the table with a book propped up agaisnt one of the plant pots. He was halfway through his meal when the door chimed.
"Come in" he called at the door.

The door slid back and the Captain was stood in the doorway with his hand behind his back. "Am I disturbing you?"

" Not at all Captain " Dr Foley said shutting his book and putting his knife and fork down on his plate.
" Please have a seat. Can I get you anything?"

"No thats fine" he replied and handed him a PADD "I just need you to sign off on these bio cargo transports."

Dr Foley took the PADD and studied it for a second before giving the O.K and handing it back to the Captain.
" Was there anything else Sir? It's just that Captains or for that matter any other member of the crew never visit me in my quarters."

He took the PADD. "Well according the reports I get on my desk you seem to like it that way."

Foley stood up and cleared his empty plate off the table before sitting down again at the table.
" And what reports would these be, Sir?" he asked looking at the Captain with his multi coloured eyes sparkling in the light.

Valdora raised and eyebrow and walked in, talking a seat on the opposite side of the table. "Well those under you report you as having a short fuse and that you don't much like being approached. Sounds to me like a recluse."

Foleys face remained blank as he regarded the Captain. He then leaned foward on the table and looked the Captain directly in the eyes.
"That doesn't suprise me Captain. I have found many Officers I have worked with rather irritating. They seem to regard space travel and exploration as some game and deem it necessary to act the hero by putting themselves in danger and then expect me to save them . They then are hailed as heroes and are adorned with Starfleets finest honors."
The tone of Calvins voice was that of distaste and anger as he continued.
" Please dont for one minute think I wish to have this honors bestowed upon me or that I wish to be a hero. All I'm saying is I know what really goes through and Officers head sometimes and believe me when I say its more to do with putting themselves on a pedestal than anything else. And it is ME and other hard working medical staff who waste precious time and resources treating these people when if they had acted rationally any injury could have been avoided."
He finished and sat back still looking directly at the Captain unsmiling and unflinching.

"A very cynical view to have of Starfleet Officers Doctor. All I am saying is perhaps they are not taking their jobs as seriously as you would like, but trust me. Give it a few months and the kids will grow up fast" he replied.

" I really hope you are correct Captain. And I seriously hope it wont take a few months as you said. I hate having dead bodies in my sickbay Sir. Moreso I hate having dead bodies in my sickbay that needn't be there if someone had just thought before they acted."
Dr Foley finally broke the Captains gaze and started absently stroking the leaves on one of his plants on the table.
" I hope I haven't given you a dim view of you ships Chief Medical Officer."

"You take your job seriously" Valdora nodded "I can certainly respect that. And you views. If you do catch anyone doing something that you feel is unnecessarily risky from now on you have the authority to relieve them of duty. I won't have cowboys on my ship."

Calvin nodded.
" Thankyou Captain" he said. " I really hope this doesn't make me more unpopular than I already am"
