"No offense, sir, but you look like you were rode hard and put away wet," Nyysa said as she stepped towards the command chair.

She should be on leave, and she did leave the ship, but she heard some of the kids mention that the Captain appeared ill when they saw him and she figured that someone might as well check on him before they recalled Hayes.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with an unconscious Klingon in Quark's would it?" she asked as she ran a tricorder over him.

The Ferengi wouldn’t shut up about someone making a mess and how much he was losing with the holosuite out of commission until the Klingon in question came stomping around the bar demanding to know where Paxton and a man meeting the Captain’s discription went.

“I admit that I may have had a little too much to drink last night.” He groaned and didn’t open his eyes. It felt as though the bridge was spinning around him. “But I still had a great time, no matter how much I’m suffering this morning. I certainly hope that Klingon Captain didn’t catch up with Avery? We whacked him pretty hard with some chairs from what I remember.”

"Well, Paxton's not gonna have to worry about it anymore. You either. I plied him with bloodwine and let him cop a feel, you guys are clear... except for this massive hangover." He scrunched up his face as a light from another ship outside moved across the viewscreen. "I'll go change and finish out your shift, I'm sure the Ensign can hold down the fort for a few minutes. If you're not gonna go to medical, then you really should be resting."

“I think you’re right, Lieutenant.” The man finally admitted defeat, “I’m going to return to my quarters for a few more hours of sleep, I could probably do with a shave too.” He got this feet, squinting at the kind scientist that stood next to him. “Do me a favour and keep this quiet? The last thing I need is a call from Admiral Yoshimeyer right now.”

Nyysa smiled. "Secret's safe with me, sir."
