By the time the two men came in, Revell and the man had gotten into a rather in depth conversation about exercise habits and so on. She was on her third mile now, and was a little winded and so their conversation paused for a moment while she tried to catch her breath. When she caught her breath again she said, "How long do you think we'll be in this fix?"

"Fix?"

"Yeah, you know, there's nothing out here, no work, no nothing. I'm tired of just sitting around. I know most doctors would say they love when they don't have any patients. Well, I'm not like that. I like to work, maybe not so much where people's lives are in danger, but is a cold too much to ask for? What department do you work for anyway?" She said, her words were very broken between breaths.

"Communications, so I generally have work to do."

"I could only wish." She said as she paused the machine to take a quick water break. Then hear the words "planet side" and "first shuttle off," she came over to the two men. "Hey, sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't help but hear you guys talk about going planet side. You boys infantry?" She asked, mostly curious, after hearing that they'd be the first out, about who their combat medic was. If she knew, she might be able to trade assignments, she was sure Harper could handle working for another doctor for awhile. Elaine just wanted something productive to do, that was all.
