The perks of being a parent [Bendytimed to before podpop]

Oh boy.

Samus has had an excellent start to her new job. She was a little wary to take on the responsibility of security. After all, she always considered herself better as a free agent rather than part of the organized system. She always seemed to need to bend the rules in order to get things done. Leon understood this, though, and still offered her the position. Maybe it would even give her a bit more freedom in her methods, having to answer to less superiors. Maybe this would be a good thing.

Except for the fact that it now gave her adopted bird son even more unsupervised freetime around this very dangerous ship, which is exactly why the new Chief of Security was sitting with her head in one hand next to the passed out Komali in the Med Bay instead of in her new office in the precinct. Oh the joys of being a single parent.

Her head had started to ache last night. A dull throb that had dulled through the night, but was still present as a tiny tinge when she woke up this morning, feeling quite unpleasant, considering that she hadn't quite gotten much sleep.

Having dawned a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and slid her feet into her flip-flops, she enters the Med Bay with a sigh, stopping at the center with her hands on her hips, looking for the blasted AI who'd patched up her leg the last time she was in here.

The Chief has Samus' comm still, she left it with him when she took Komali up to medical. She needs that back, at some point. Probably sooner rather than later, head of security is a busy job.

"Ma'am?" he says as he comes in. Komali seems to be (relatively) alright, he observes, though the kid is out like a light.

Doc was as usual working in the Medical Bay. While at many different times he dealt with Tex and Grif, it was always nice to meet new people. And if this was this Samus person Grif and Tex had told him about. "Hello there. I'm Medical Officer DuFresne, is there something you need?"

The Medical bay became her newest hangout as it is where Astrid spent a majority of her time over the course of the week. Resting, snacking, playing 'assistant nurse' and tending to her amputee Viking... err, colleague. At this particular time (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_9/450999.html?thread=33316023#t33316023), she really could use a break away from the med room she had located herself in and opted to meander. Yes, meander. Again. Apparently another growing pastime for the girl.

And it is then that she passed the occupied room and backpedaled when she recognized the figure within. She peered inside from the doorway.

Samus... and a kid. Though, at this angle, she is unaware of the extent of his injuries.

Frowning with concern, Astrid finally steps in to join them. "The child... is he going to be okay?"

She hadn't wanted to, but Sherry had been marched along by her mother to the Medbay to properly apologize to Komali. It wasn't that she felt entirely guiltless about it (she did force him off the ledge. Twice.). The little girl stopped short of the bed and the new Chief of Security.

Just a broken leg, then? Well, that was okay. Still, she made herself look as dutifully sullen as she could. She really was sorry. Really.
