Ran jumped when he heard the radio, thinking that Maureen had been watching his treatment of Lena.  He was only slightly happier at hearing the call do go back to the ship, having certain "business" to attend to.  He lifted the hand that was carressing Lena's cheek and flipped on his radio transmitter, getting on the line with Jane.<br/><br/>"I'll need about forty-five minutes to get to the ship, there's been a medical emergency down at the bar, and I need to perform a minor operation.  I'll get back to the ship as soon as I can."
