Lieutenant Kalliope Walking Bear smiled as she walked into the large recovery area. She looked around as she quickly spotted her quarry. She went over to the nurse. "Hey. How is she?"

Petty Officer 2nd Class Cheleya Dvald lifted her attention from the PADD she had been reading to look into the lovely brown eyes of the human female before her. "What can I do for you, Doctor?" Dvald inquired softly. She had missed the second part of the Doctor's inquiry.

"How's your patient doing?" Walking Bear inquired. She had a smile on her face.

"Oh. Elizabeth decided to try dozing off and so far. I don't think it's working. She mentioned the biobed was too small and she was lacking her spouse. She hates sleeping alone." Dvald explained. "So far, there have been no well-wishers. In accordance with the wishes of Doctor Fordring." the small Bolian female explained. "She was." she paused a moment. "Very direct on the matter."

"Good. Can I talk to her for a moment?" Walking Bear inquired.

"Sure." Dvald turned. "Beth?" the small Bolian asked into the darkness.

"Yeah, what's up ladies.?" Yamaguchi-Solusar inquired. "These beds are terrible. I think when I come back to medical. I will look into the matter and see what I can do to fix the issues." she commented as she sat up. "What's up, Kalliope. I do not think you are here to deliver my lunch," she added, a smile on her lips.

"I can make arrangements for you. If you wish Beth." Walking Bear commented with a nod of her head. "But no. I'm not here for that. I'm here to see how you feel about having the operation done now, rather than wait until tomorrow. It'll get you out of here and back into your own bed probably two days sooner than planned. It'll also let you get some real rest and not lurking out in here." Walking Bear explained herself. "Besides it'll-" was as far as she got before Yamaguchi-Solusar nodded quickly. "Yes. Now... As in right this second. Let's go tear open my insides and clean out the crap." she gushed quickly. "Because I hate these beds. It's like sleeping on rocks like a caveman."

Dvald blinked, this had been completely unexpected from the woman she was expecting to be overseeing for her entire shift. This change was not unwelcome but she wasn't about to say it aloud. She could go finish that paperwork she had been dealing with and get it resolved. Her day was looking up.

"Well, that was dramatic." Walking Bear answered with a smile. "Alright. I am prepared for you. Today's event will be taking place in operating room four with myself handling matters. I will be having a doctor and two nurses assisting me with this." Walking Bear commented with a wide grin.
She turned to Dvald. "Okay, go ahead and call in Doctor Toshnarr with his guys, they are expecting you."

Dvald tapped her combadge and went about replaying the orders from Walking Bear for Toshnarr to come and collect his new patient.

The Gorn entered the recovery area a moment later with two nurses and a hover-gurney. "You called for me?" the Gorn rumbled.

"Toshnarr." Yamaguchi-Solusar regarded her old friend with a wide smile on her face. "It's great to see you again," she added. Despite the fact that the two had been working together on the same Starbase for months, the two had been separated by space and time. Both of them worked different hours and in different departments. Which meant he worked in medical ward two rather than ward one and he also worked afternoons and evenings when Beth was off watch and home with her husband and child.

"Elizzaaabeetth." Toshnarr rumbled at her. Before he growled something almost unintelligible at her. Yamaguchi-Solusar nodded to him. "It couldn't be helped. It seems that whenever I have something go wrong in life. You always appear. I'm not sure if it's good or bad." the tall female slowly moved to a sitting position on the bed. She regarded the small gathering before her despite the fact that she was almost nude.

"It's good Elizzzzaabeth." as he gently took her hand, he gently assisted her from her bed onto the gurney. "We are on our way. Old friend." with that, he turned the gurney and started Yamaguchiu-Solusar off towards the surgical suite where the operation would be taking place.

Walking Bear followed but at a distance, as did the two nurses. "Alright. One of you will be assisting me with the transporter and keeping the mess to a minimum. I know various people will want the refuse for study so try and preserve as much of it as you can. Okay, guys?" Walking Bear explained. She spoke softly so her words would not reach Toshnarr or Yamaguchi-Solusar's ears.

"Sounds good ma'am. But what of the second one of us." the younger of the two nurses inquired.

"You'll be there for her. Hold her hand and whisper sweet nothing in her ear. Y'know. More or less do an impersonation of her husband for this." Walking Bear explained. "keep her calm and make sure she's alright. We don't need her losing her mind or having a medical episode over this. This operation will be traumatic enough as it is. Whatever you guys do. Please keep her calm." Walking Bear explained. "Heimdal only knows what we're going to be pulling out of her. I expect it to look ugly and smell worse. So when she sees it, I expect her to have issues so whoever is looking after her. Make sure you're on your toes and be ready to keep her calm." Walking Bear explained. "Any questions.?"

"Whos doing which role?" the eldest of the two nurses inquired.

"I'm going to let you two decide that." and with that Walking Bear smiled cheerily at both. "I'll see you in in surgery." and with that, she turned and departed. Leaving the two nurses behind to hash things out between them.
