Waiting in Sickbay for Beverly to show up.

[_picard_]

She did say to come down here at my convenience, and I did let her know I was coming over here now. Where is she? And why are there so few people here on duty right now? It must be a slow night. Perhaps the crew needs more to do around here.

...

Nurse, do you know where the doctor can be found?

No need to call for the nurse. Come in to my office.

I should have mentioned that we'd be meeting in here. I thought you wouldn't want everyone to know about your..offspring just yet. Everyone that doesn't already know, that is. Don't you appreciate the privacy and sound-proof walls of my office, Jean-Luc?

Er, well, this is fi-fine, Doctor. Did she need to brush by me like that? The lights seem a little low, however.

Why are you calling for a privacy lock on the door?

The lighting is sufficient for our my needs. There's no need to be so formal. And the privacy lock is for your protection, of course.

My protection? That's an odd way to put it. I don't think I know what you mean. I thought I was here for some simple tests.
