[Captain's Log:] Wrapping up Matters at Alemar III

[tea_earlgrey_hot]

[Captain's Log: Wherein Captain Picard settles matters with Dr. Sk'Amor, following everyone's return to the Enterprise.]


Picard is relieved to say the least that nothing more serious transpired on Alemar III. It is bad enough to have his sickbay full of the wounded and malnourished; should any have died while on the planet, he would not have let Q pass without an extreme dressing down. Being powerless to return his visitors to their rightful time and place weighs heavy on the captain, their traumas all the more so. No doubt it will be a difficult few days of readjusting for all, and it is his duty to see to their needs during this time. Or perhaps he will delegate that to Counselor Troi and Commander Riker.

When the last shuttle returns from Alemar III, and Captain Picard is sure he can close the book on this particular chapter in their voyage, he allows himself a brief sigh of relief. He has an extremely competent crew, who will no doubt see to the needs of those who have returned. Indeed, he hopes a hot meal and a good night's sleep will aid in everyone's recuperation.

But he, of course, braces himself to take their anger should they feel inclined to complain.

Perhaps he should construct a model of Q that the travelers can pour their frustrations upon instead. It is something to think about.


[ooc: And that's it for our Alemar III plot, folks! Backtagging will continue on posts that have already been made, but following this all characters should be back on the Enterprise. You may use this post to establish your character's arrival back on the ship, but Picard won't be available for tags unless specifically requested. Thank you all!]
