Timeline: Shortly after 'Checking in with Engineering'

Karma was smiling as he left engineering and tried to decide where he should go next. He remembered Lieutenant Bowen had accepted him as the Chief Intelligence Officer and decided he should speak to her next. He made his way to the turbolift and made his way to sickbay.

Karma stepped into sickbay and paused to look around. He didn't see the doctor so he stopped a passing nurse. "Can you tell me where I can find Doctor Bowen?" he asked her.

"She is in her office," the busy nurse said.

"Thank you," Karma said as he turned and walked to the office. He stuck his head inside and said, "Got a minute?"

Leanne looked up with a smile, "Come on in...have a seat." She remembered him with the holodeck incident of being in the wrong place.

"How has your day been going?" he asked as he walked into the office and sat down.

"Good. How about yours?" She noticed something different about him, but wasn't sure what it was.

"Nothing special," he said, trying to keep a straight face. "You know, talked to the Captain, got promoted, visited the starbase."

"Oh, no wonder your uniform was different...congrats."

"Thank you," Karma said with a broad smile. "How are things here in sickbay?"

She returned the smile, "somewhat hectic. Was there something you wanted to see me about...sir?"

"I came by to see if you need anything while we're in spacedock," Karma said to her.

Leanne glanced at her desk to find one PADD, picked it up and handed it to him. "I have a list of supplies that are needed and was going to have one of the medical technicians retrieve it. Don't you have other things to do? If you don't mind, you could pick up these items."

Karma looked at the list and nodded. "I'll arrange to have the supplies delivered to you before we leave. How is your staff? Any problems?"

"Thanks for doing that for our department. So far, no problems. We are a little short handed as one of my nurse and a doctor is out sick. I think it will slow down as we have arrived at the starbase." I need a break now, she thought.

"Why don't you take a trip to the base and relax a little," he suggested.

"Maybe in a little while...thanks for the advice," she gave a weak smile.

"Is there a problem?" he asked her, noticing her lack of enthusiasm.

"I just need to get this report in. Not a problem, sir."

"Is that all of it?" Karma asked, looking at her. "I'm here to listen if there's something you need to talk about."

She gave him a strange look as one eyebrow went up, "I appreciate it...just need to get this in as the Captain expects it on her desk soon."

"In that case," he said to her, "I'll let you get back to work." He stood up and walked to the door. "If you need anything just let me know."

"Thank you."

Karma looked at her again and nodded. "Good day, Doctor," he said as he left the office.
