Who: Beverly Crusher and you
Broadcast: Network - Video
Action: Blue Fish
When: September 1
[There's a strangely familiar cold that has settled in her bones, a dreadful chill that disorients her in the first few moments that she's awake. Her first thought is that something went wrong - very wrong - as they passed through the temporal distortion, but then... as she sits up and takes in her surroundings, the memories all come back in a flood. Atroma has brought Beverly back, a little older, a little blonder, and with a new Starfleet uniform.
Or maybe I never left, she thinks. This is not the Marsiva, these are her quarters aboard the Blue Fish, and none of her things look as if they've been moved. Though admittedly, her memories of Drift Fleet seem distant. By her reckoning, it's been three years since she's seen this room.
Not that "time" really means much, considering what's happened in the past few days.
The communicator rests where she left it on the bedside table. When she picks it up, she finds it's full of unread messages, crewmates and friends wondering where she is, each message sounding more alarmed than the last. With a sinking feeling in her stomach, she checks today's date: September first.]
Damn!
[Immediately, she sends a message to the network, via video:]
This is Dr. Crusher of the... SS Blue Fish. It seems our gracious captors sent me home for a while. I'm back now, and I'm safe, and I'm sorry to everyone who was trying to contact me this month. I'll be on the Blue Fish if you need me.
[There's a pause, as if she's about to say something else, but then she simply gives them a small smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes.]
Thank you.
[The feed cuts off and after a moment, she decides to head for the kitchen. Not that she's particularly hungry but - there's a good chance that's where she'll find at least a few of her crewmates.]

Kara. He drank the blood of one of my patients as she lay nearly dead after fighting to protect other people in this fleet, while I was trying to save her. I'd hardly call that "sweet."
action
He's still learning boundaries. But he can't help what he is. I would think with all your travels you would understand that.

I am sorry for pushing. I didn't mean to put you in an uncomfortable situation, I was only wanting to know if anyone was hurt.
[She almost adds: it's my job. But it's not, here. She's not the CMO and having to readjust to that again will take some time.]
Including Sascha. My feelings towards him do not mean I want to see him come to harm... Nor am I planning to get involved in his affairs.
action
Sorry.
I really don't know him that well, except Kitty and Winn are fiercely protective, and he's the last of his kind anywhere. I also promised to keep him safe if anyone tried to retaliate, and I don't plan on changing that any time soon. He wants to improve, and no one's obligated to entertain that. I'm sorry, though, because what happened between you sounds awful.

I'm glad. And I trust you too.
Though I'm sorry we got into an argument on my first day back.

Sounds good enough to me.

It's hard to be anything but optimistic around you.

I think you would do very well in Starfleet.
