The body of Greory appeared on the bed in the ICU and the two medtechs, 
Rizzo and Klinger came rushing into the room.  There was a bruise on his 
forehead, his skin pale and clammy.


Aggie rushed over and pulled the nearby tricorder.  “Mr. Gregory, this 
was not what I had in mine when I said I will see you around.”  Pulling 
up the main screen, noting noting the levels,  “we need a beta blocker 
to lower the levels of adrenaline.  Get me some Metoprolol.”  Aggie ordered.


“Mr. Gregory.”  Aggie said putting her hand on his face.  “Can you talk 
to me?”  she feared that he could be slipping back into a coma.


Gregory’s eye’s opened, “And furthermore, Michael, you don’t get to make 
that decision unilaterally,” he said then paused.  “Where are we?”


“You are back in sickbay, my dear.  Michael huh?  Sorry to disappoint.  
Just Aggie here.”  Aggie said. “You need to lay still for me.”


“I am Doctor, but I need to get back to that meeting,” Gregory said 
urgently.


“Not happening this time.”  Aggie said.  “Don’t make me restrain you, 
today.  You are not up for that fun.”  Aggie gave Dieter a sly smile as 
she administered the beta blocker.


Gregory groaned in frustration.  He knew that she was right, and after 
Michaels last speech, he felt better about his first officer.  Funny to 
think that now that he was back on the Illuminar.  His body started to 
relax as the drug began to take effect.


His eyes started moving rapidly as his body began to twitch.

Gregory opened his eyes, and looked around.  He was in a garden, the 
sound of a brook nearby.  Sitting up, he recognized it as a garden in 
his hometown, the Upper Gardens.  Turning his head, he saw a small 
bridge for crossing the stream.  He was wearing red robes of a Bajoran 
vedek. Standing up, he saw a man and a woman walk by, both with a 
shimmer around them.


They stopped in front of Gregory, “Now is the time of extra vigilance.  
Look to the skies and see the portents.  The Celestial Temple needs a 
new Emissary.  Protect the vessel of the prophets,” the women said.


The man pointed his finger at Gregory, “It is happening again,” he said.

Gregory’s eyes opened and he gasped for breath.  “What… why?” he said in 
a confused voice.


“Why, What?”  Agnes was relieved that Dieter had once regained 
consciousness.


“Must have been a dream,” he said, “A vivid dream.  I was in a garden 
near my home on Earth.  Doesn’t matter,” he said. “I am very thirsty, 
can I get a drink please, or is that against doctors orders?”


Agnes nodded to the nurse.  “I have something coming to you.  However I 
am not letting you out of my arms length.


Gregory smiled, “Well that could be interesting,” he said. “I know a 
place where the music is hot and the drinks are cold.  We can dance all 
night long, and I’ll stay closer than arms length.”


“It’s a date, and I am going to hold you to that.  But unless the 
dancing is horizontal you are not getting out of this bed.”  Anges then 
put a finger over his mouth.  “No protesting allowed.”


“Horizontal dancing. I know those steps,” he said “We can start now, if 
you want.”


Aggie laughed on how this conversation was going, but it was helping as 
Dieter was stablizing.  “Are you kidding me? I am not sure you are 
completely up for that dance.  I got moves you’ve never seen.”  Aggie 
leaned in and whispered in Dieter’s ear.  “Is you heart healthy enought 
for that right now?”


“You’re the doctor, why don’t you come close and listen,” he said playfully


Aggie moved her head so she was now their noses were a hairs distance 
from each other.  She looked him from the eyes and said, “I think…”


Kyllee raced into Sickbay to see Agnes and Dieter in a very precarious 
position. He slowed to a walk and entered the ICU. He took a deep breath 
and cleared his throat.


“I see that you take the intensive of Intensive Care. to a whole other 
level,” he said. “Would you care to report on Commander Gregory’s 
status, Doctor?”


“You  know Doctor, it is the extra care that makes the difference.”  
Aggie replied, “Now, as for Mr. Gregory here, His levels are 
stablizing.  He,”  Aggie lightly patted Dieter not realizing that she 
patted his lower abdomen lightly, “seems to be awake, alert, and full on 
flirt mode.  Nothing I could not handle.  I have to admit,”  Aggie then 
looked around, “I take it you are here to dismis me?”


“I seriously doubt he would appreciate the same care from me that he’s 
receiving from you, but yes, I’ll take it from here,” Stev smiled. It 
was clear that the two of them had very different styles. Stev 
appreciated a separation of his personal and professional life. And 
since everyone on the Illuminar was a potential patient they were all 
off limits.


“That may be so, but in times of distress, a cold distant doctor is now 
needed.  Remember, the personal touch can make the different.”  Agnes 
turned to Dieter, “Once you are ready for that vertical dance, come find 
me.  See ya, cutie.”  Agnes turned on her heals and left not only the 
ICU but also sickbay.


When Agnes left Stev gave his full attention to Dieter. It was the first 
chance he’d had since he came back to the land of the living.


“I see the Dieter charm has been undamaged by your experience,” he said 
as he pulled out a tricorder and began to scan his old CO.


“It is rusty, so tell me doctor, what is my prognosis?” Dieter asked.


Stev compared the results of his scan to one’s from the bio bed and 
humphed.  “We’ll, there’s still some residual neurological damage that 
we’ll need to take care of, but I think you might just make it, if you 
can keep your pecker in your pants long enough.”
