Symbiosis Commission Recovery Ward

You know I don't think this joining thing is all it's cracked up to,Relli thought as she shifted to a more comfortable position in the small bed she'd been told to stay in for the next day,Wait am I the one who thinks that, or is that Hadrian...damnit...
She reached up with her left hand and rubbed her forehead, trying to ease the massive headache she felt. Relli hurt everywhere; her head ached, her neck ached, her stomach felt like it had been ripped open with a dull scythe, oh and then there was the symbiont which made her feel queasy just thinking about.

"And how are we feeling today Miss Ray- I mean Oros,"Doctor Alder asked as he walked through the sliding doors into Relli's "room". The older man had a large smile spread across his face, and as far as Relli knew nothing seemed to be able to pull it off.

"You just stuck a giant slug in my stomach how do you think I'm 'feeling' Doctor,"She asked bitterly, at what was almost a yell.

"Touchy,"Adler replied with a chuckle,"I'd think you'd be more honored to actually have been chosen to have the so called giant slug joined to you."

"Yeah well nobody told me it was going to make me think I'm a man half the time,and not know if I was born in Twenty Three Sixty or not,"She snapped back. Relli sighed and leaned back as the violent mood swing once again swung in another direction for thousandth time today." I'm sorry doctor I'm just-"

"Oh save it child,"Adler replied lightly as he checked the vitals monitor that was hooked up to the bed."Your not the first person in this ward to shout at me, and I've heard a lot worse. In fact I heard worse out of you four hours ago when I last checked in, do you not remember?"

"Not really,"Relli sighed,"That's normal right?"

"Perfectly,"Adler said with smile,"You'll remember in about a day or so after the biochemical connection you have to Oros stabilize and your memories are integrated fully."

"Another day in here,"Relli groaned, as she tried to sit up in the bed.

"Another day in bed, but you'll be here for about a week in total,"Adler replied, as he lightly put a hand on her shoulder and pushed her back down into the bed. Relli didn't try to fight him as he pushed, she didn't think she could have if she'd wanted to as weak as she felt. Instead she turned over and stuffed her face into the pillow, in a vane attempt to fall asleep.

"So have you given any thought as to whether your going to go back to Starfleet and the Marines,"Adler asked as he fiddled with the controls on a hypospray to give her an injection of Isoboramine, which would help with connecting the symbiont and Relli's neural synapses.

"Can you please ask me that after I remember if I'm the one in the marines,"Relli replied muffled by the pillow.

"Sure,"Adler said with a chuckle,"Now hold still this hypo should help."

He brushed back Relli's dark brown hair away from her neck and pressed the hypospray against her skin.

"Alright I'll be back in another four hours to see how you're doing,"Adler said with another smile as he patted her lightly on the back."If you need anything ask one of the attendees, and don't get up Miss,"He added strictly as he walked out of the room.

"Alright Doc have a nice day,"Relli said dreamily as she raised her head to watch him leave. The Hypo had left her a bit loopy and memories from Tynian, the previous host started to wash over her with a renewed vigor."Wait....Tynian you pervert,"She shouted to no one as one of Tynians more risque memories entered her mind. Relli swore she heard Adler laughing down the hall...

OOC: Not the longest in the world, but I hope it's good enough! I've got a couple more planned until I get into the story fully.
