<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#87ceeb">Doctor Sonakshi Khan</span>, the Bridge, Midwatch.<br/><br/>Sonakshi stood with half a smile while Iona and Donovan exchanged the needed protocols to observe, sometimes less formal than others, more entertained looking at Thomyris than anything else. They haven't talked much yet, nothing beyond the norm, nothing personal for sure, and Sona wondered why was that. Sure, not everyone was a chatterbox every time they visited the doctor, but with time she had found that people tended to open up with her like she was a bartender. Not giving it importance, she looked amused at Donovan turning his attention to the lean woman. It was always amusing seeing the first mate care about someone on the ship, not because it was a rare occassion as the doctor knew that he would go to extremes to defend them, but mostly due to the look on the faces of the ones being cared for. Newcomers always looked in disbelief at that... rough and odd man caring for their well being, something that was always a sight to behold, but Thomyris' eyes were different. Was it defiance? Khan doubted so, after all she was better reading into a body than into a person themselves, so she abandoned that particular train of thought as Donovan addressed her.<br/><br/>"We are calling a shuttle" she answered, "the sooner we get this done, the better. That leaves us more free time after we are done with the drug run, even if I don't have any particular plans" Sona explained, even if Donovan wouldn't require it. She wondered what the first mate had in mind for those hours of leisure, what kind of plans the man could have. As he went away to, get his shit together as he put it, Sona used the bridge to request and hire a ride to the station, a mostly boring and uneventful procedure. It wouldn't be the last time, or so she thought, since if the deal went smoothly it would require a bit of back and forth for the cargo and payment, so it was likely that the next few hours were as boring as the last ones.<br/><br/>If the deal went smoothly.<br/><br/>She went by her quarters to grab her things, a tidy and pristine place where she did nothing but sleep, since she spent most of her time on the clinic and the sheep weeks have been quite the dry spell. She changed her clothes from a set of nondescript fatigues to another, as Sona usually paid no mind to those things, doing herself no favors in the look department. Grabbing her doctor suitcase after making sure everything was in order, she went to the bay, hoping to find both their incoming ride and Donovan looking more than ready for things to go south.
