An ensign whose name Dr. Crusher couldn't remember approached her with a PADD. "We've received more complete information regarding the battle at Wolf 359... the captain needs to review it," he said.
The doctor sighed, taking the PADD from the ensign. She knew that there was no positive information to be had about what happened at Wolf 359. Glancing over at Picard in his sickbay bed, she said, "He'll be returning to his quarters in the next day or so. I'll give it to him then. Now scoot." Dr. Crusher made a mental note to check with senior staff and see who specifically sent the ensign down to sickbay in the first place.
As the startled ensign walked off, Dr. Selar approached the chief medical officer. The two of them watched the captain sleep fitfully. "You have been very protective of him," the Vulcan observed.
Dr. Crusher shook her head. "Well, somebody has to be. Hopefully not for much longer, but right now he needs to rest."
"A fair assessment," Dr. Selar agreed.
