Welcome to Gaia! ::

"As long as I can walk and function then I'm fine, that's all there really is to it for me." Was she in denial about this whole bioware thing? No, not at all. And it explained why she took to bioware so easily, not only her objectivity as a scientist made it easy but she had some herself. She just didn't like to talk about it because it brought up memories she'd rather not visit.

"Taking someone to get a physical is a doctor's waste of time sometimes." It wad true enough, why go get one if you knew you weren't going to correct any problems that may be found? Though she couldn't help but relax some under his affections, hey it was soothing.

"Yes so, we were talking earlier over two way in my office and talking about some things that need to be done. Low grade basic isn't the most durable equipment, especially on earth site bases. But I'm sure you know that. Things just aren't going as great as they used to be and well...he'll have a look at me and figure what needs to be done from this point. Like I said, all I care is that I can walk and do my work."

She smiled somewhat at him. "Don't go giving me biology and anatomy lessons James Moira, I already took my classes and earned my papers. I know how it all works, no need to remind me. I mean I admit there's been days when I can't feel things but it always passes and as I said, as long as I can do my work." Jelena was a serious workaholic.

"And yes it can be. Even if they find a problem, the patient has to be willing to do something to fix it. If they aren't willing to begin with, why go get the physical?" Why were they arguing about this anyway? But a shake of her head from her.

"Anyway...so now you know why Camp is coming. And what he's doing when he gets up here." She had to admit, she was having little twinges of pain even as she was sitting there, in her back and in one of her legs. Damn artificial shoody nervous system...well, the parts of it anyway.

A blink at him, that was new to her now wasn't it. So he expected to be there? "Well...I guess that's okay...but it's up to Camp really. You know...sterile fields and such." Of course he had to cut her open to get a look at what was going on...after all, it was her spine. And he was realy very fickle about attendence, she wasn't lying just to try and keep James away.

"I suppose that's fair. After all if I feel the need to be yours I can't possibly object to you wanting to be mine, right?" A little shrugs. "I can only hope that this goes in the direction I want it to." Meaning not getting compeletely overhauled...that meant crutches again for her after all. Though Camp had seemd to be hinting at that very thing earlier.

"Get ready? There's really nothing that I need to do...just sit nervously and twiddle my thumbs and be anxious over it." A glance at her watch, marking time. Good lord had they been in here that long? So a sigh as she pushed up off the grass.

"I guess so. He should be docking by now...or about to. Depends on how things are going." She offered him a smile though, perhaps more for her than for him.

Docking on Radiance...was hell as ever. It seemed that way all the time now didn't it. Which was odd to look at in retrospect, seeing as Fleet was supposed to be the anti-social kid on the playground. People weren't main shipments, more if supplies and what not, but still...it was crowded. Be it with authorized visitor or staff.

Jelena only stood casually next to James' more serious self. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Time to tuck away your civilian eh? Poor thing hardley gets any fresh air it seems." And now she had turned his civlian side into a pet. But that was just her wasn't it. A few more moments of waiting and watching before she had thrown a hand up in the air. "Doctor Camp!" She had recognised him right off, tall and lean, black hair that was cropped close and brown eyes that went very nicely with his personality.

Her yell got his attention and he gave her a smile and a nod. Of course it would take a good fifteen minutes to get himself over to her, what with security checks and what not. And when he did get to the pair, he regarded her with the air of a friends as opposed to fellow doctor, hugging her. "Jena, nice to see you again." Then a look to James. "Bodyguard?"

"Boyfriend."

"He shoves his civilian side in a small box sometimes. But he's also being rude. Robert, this is Commander James Moira." She was of course playing hostess...this was the man who could let her live and die, not to mention an onld family friend, and then the man she was currently intimately involved with. Though a blink...good lord did he have to personally twenty question everyone that she came into contact with?

"Hm, yes. Nice to meet you Commander." James got a long look for a moment. "A talk? Sure that's fine by me. After all, this visit isn't about all business now is it." But his attention returned to Jelena. "Jena, things just like last year?"

"Same room, same place, dare I say same sheets?" A small smile before turning, motioning to both of them. "You two can talk in a moment, let's get out of docking hell."

Jelena rolled her eyes. Men, they were so peticular at times weren't they? But she paid it no mind as she walked away from what she deemed docking hell. It really was. Soon enough they were back on envision and in the living quarters where Robert dropped off his things before they had made there way to Jelena's office.

She sunk down into her own, gesturing to one of the others for her fellow doctor to sit in. James knew he could plop anywhere and what with his civilian being gone for the time being her probably wouldn't sit anyway. "So should I leave you two alone for a moment to talk so that maybe James will relax?"

Another roll of her eyes with somewhat of a smirk. "Civilian is still in a box though now isn't it?" Though she shook her head and gave a sigh, looking across her desk to her fellow doctor. "So then, how was the trip up?"

He gave a look to James and then focused his attention on Jelena. "Just fine, boring as usual but fine." Sitting across from her her rested his hand on his knee, fingers drumming lightly. "It is alright to talk about things in front of him?" He knew how Jelena liked to keep this underwraps.

"He knows, so yes."

"Very well then. Now this is my hypothesising from the information we've exchanged thus far. We'll go about it like we do every year, open you up, give you a look over. You still want it done as always?"

"Block, no sedation or anesthsia, yes." She was particular about that kind of thing...had a sort of aversion to being in that really semi-paralysis state. "And if things are bad bad?"

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Don't stress yourself out. Did Erik already make arrangements?"

"You know he always does."
