Subject: Grail: "Unexplored Spaces" - Work, work, work

Ramius sat on the edge of his bed, his head in his hands and his elbows on his knees. That Doctor Ramin had some nerve dragging him out of bed in the wee hours of the morning, but, in retrospect, it was a good thing that he had, or more casualties would definitely be occurring in the next few days. As it stood, there was only a chance that they would occur.

Ramius stood and dressed, and walked to Sickbay. As the doors parted, he came across two security personnel. One was Lt. Castle, he recognized him from the ship's personnel file, and the other was a Caitian, and a pretty one at that. They obligingly stepped to one side as William entered, and he nodded a greeting to them as he passed.

Oku Ramin was at a station examining the blood samples that he had collected. Oku's head came up as William arrived by his side.

"Hello, Doctor," said William.

"Hello," replied Oku.

"What personnel have you been able to obtain samples from thus far?" asked William.

"I've obtained a sample from Lt. Castle and Lt. Cmdr. Hunt so far."
