[Octavia bites the inside of her cheek and taps her feet on the room's floor.]

For me, it's not about hope. I want to go back, so I will. It's that simple. [And despite the gravity of her claim, she sounds resolute, even convinced.]

Could take a long time, but it'll happen.

[Jennifer tapped her chin as she pondered that.]

And that leaves no room for a "no". I think I like putting it like that a lot better. Beverly and I have been talking about going home and stuff lately... and how it might take a while before we can find a way to crack Atroma's facade. But it will happen eventually, just like we'll go home eventually. Yeah... I like the sound of that.

[grounds]

Of course not. I don't like the idea of sitting around and waiting for it to happen, but until we get a chance to change something, that's what we have to do.

[She looks at Jennifer as if she's studying her.] For now, we just use the time to better ourselves in ways we need to. That's all.

[forsometimenow]

Right... because open rebellion wouldn't be looked on too kindly.

[She nodded firmly.] That I can get behind, too- I always want to take the opportunity to improve myself if I can. I know I'm not perfect, and that I don't know everything, and I want to be able to provide my patients with the best possible care no matter where I am.

I doubt we'd even get the chance to start anything like that.

Yeah. [Octavia doesn't address the admission of imperfection. She doesn't see a reason to. Instead she places her hands on her thighs and stands.] Good talk.

[There's a small smile.] Try not to worry about things you can't change. Dunno if that's possible sometimes, but it helps me when it is.

[Jennifer grinned.]

That's definitely something I need to keep in mind sometimes. Thanks for the advice- I mean it. I've been feeling out of sorts ever since we were beamed to the Marsiva... it's time to shake myself out of it and do what I do best.

[grounds]

Yeah like that, but less cliche sounding. [Octavia goes to the door, only stopping to add one thing before leaving.]

Enjoy your cheese.

[forsometimenow]

I will. [She laughed.]
