Hunter opened his eyes slowly. The pain was gone, but then so was the doctor. He eased himself up which made his ribs hurt a little. He eased his feet over the side of the bed and on to the floor.

Slowly he walked to Doctor Dane's office but she wasn't there. A nearby nurse spotted the Captain and approached him. He assured her he was alright. "Tell the good Doctor I found temporary quarters and thank her for watching the cat."

"Yes Sir," she replied.

Hunter scooped up Chester, "I think you put on a couple pounds big guy" he said scratching him behind his ears. Chester purred.

He walked down to the turbolift and got on. Deck 10 sub C. When the doors closed he set Chester down. A moment later the doors opened and Hunter stepped through. "Comm'on" he said to Chester following him. At the end of a short hallway was a small hatch, he opened it, scooped Chester up and climbed in. He closed the hatch and looked around. The Captain's Yacht was a remarkable craft. "Light's 20%" he said setting Chester down. He walked toward the forward observation deck and looked out the oversized windows into the expanse of space. Near by was an LCARS console which he activated. "Computer, begin message." The computer chirped. "Yeoman Rands, Please be advised I will not be on the bridge until 1000 unless something comes up. Cancel the staff meeting and ask Commander Wright to collect departmental status reports anyway. End message. Deliever message to Yeoman Rands." Hunter slipped off his jacket and his boots. "Computer, begin message, Riaan, I found temporary quarters until mine are back in order, I'm fine, thanks for the good work. End message, deliver to Riaan.

Hunter went to the replicator and made supplies for Chester which he set in a spot he figured he'd like them.

He turned to the quarters which were near the rear of the ship and layed down on the bed. A long night's sleep was welcome.
