It's been a very stressful time. Ever since the Potential was removed from the Veron negotiations, Cass, as well as Darcy Jr., has spent almost all her time in meetings and conferences. She has just barely managed to put some time aside this afternoon for a different very important matter.
Captain Darcy has spent this entire time in the infirmary of the starbase, recovering from the gas poisoning he had suffered just before this whole matter started. He has been briefed on what has happened but because he was not actually involved in the matter and because his condition is still not completely recovered, he is being spared the meetings.
Cass arrives at the starbase's rather large infirmary and is welcomed by a tall woman with dark hair who introduces herself as Dr. Lambert. She leads Cass into the hospital wing and points her towards Captain Darcy's room. "He's recovering well", she explains while they're walking. "But he still has to rest and take it easy. You have half an hour. I hope that's enough."
She opens the door and allows Cass to enter while she herself stays outside.
The room is lit but the lights are dimmer than in the corridor. Cass immediately sees Darcy lying in a hospital bed. He is reading some book and looks up when he hears her enter.
While he looked almost peaceful and healthy while he was in the stasis tube, he looks much worse now. His face looks old and tired and his skin is sickly pale. His expression is lively, however, and he smiles when he sees Cass.
"Hah, I was worried, you wouldn't show up at all, Commander" His voice sounds almost like it did the last time the two of you spoke but there is just the slightest tremble in it. "Come in, sit down!"
