Gareb was sitting at a table enjoying is lunch in front of one of the stations many restaurants when he sensed that something was amiss. He looked around and sure enough at a far table he saw a Vulcan officer in obvious distress. He smiled a little bit as the irony of once enemies having to help each other wasn't lost on him. He motioned for people to give him room as he started to work.

He could tell that the Vulcan was clearly choking, but was also conscious. "Cough!" he ordered, and the Vulcan began to do so. "That's it! Keep going!" Gareb said. When doing this his mind took an unauthorized trip down memory lane.

--Flashback--

"Father?" seventeen year old Gareb said telepathically. "I'll be of age soon. Will you reconsider your position on me joining Starfleet? Mother was in that organization after all." he said.

"NO" he screamed back. "I've made that clear." Garebs father said. So loud that

Gareb reeled at the pain. That was the last straw. "Well, as the humans say." he began. "Ya gotta do what ya gotta do." and Gareb just left.

The Vulcan collapsing shook the medic awake. "Endlev to sickbay, Medical Emergency!" he said, rolling his patient on his side an attempting to clear his airway. He was met with mixed results in this regard. Luckily, more personnel arrived and Gareb transferred care.

His little flash of memory stirred him so much that he was feeling homesick. "Maybe I should contact home?" he said to himself. After ensuring the transfer of care Gareb returned to his seat, still somewhat rattled by his memory experience.That's a funny thing about memory, either a gentile kiss or a hard hit.

He shook it off and went on his way. I think I'll drop by the counselor." he decided.
