Josh continued to wander throughout the night and into the day as the base's
lighting dictated it, passing the time as well as he could until Ketchum called
him to his home, to the ship and engineering where he could escape the madness
that seemed determined to close in and lose himself in his work. He snuck into
the engineering areas to work - just another anonymous crewman. He tapped into
the systems to find out the condition of the crew. He downloaded and memorized
the specs on their new ship. He tinkered and toyed with this system and that,
finding ways to keep hands and mind busy enough not to think of anything but
the work he was doing. When at last there was nothing more he could do without
getting caught, he found other things to occupy his mind. He worked out in the
gym and the holosuites, and worked on upgrades in the holosuites as well. He
explored the arboretum. He even managed to peek in at sickbay to find out how
the stowaway and Mac's kids were. What he
didn't do was return to his quarters. He stayed away from those who knew him,
avoiding the confusing, convoluted mess that people represented. He stayed
away from his life. It was messy. And anyone who knew Josh knew full well that
Josh didn't do messes.
I am wounded but I am not dead
I will lay me down and bleed awhile
then I will rise up and fight again
