Mac shook his head as he and Josh left sickbay. "Why shower before you work 
out? Your just going to have to shower again? If we wait too much longer the 
gym will be too crowded with the Beta shifters." 
 
Josh shrugged. 
 
"okay...fine...how about if I just meet you in the gym, then? I'll go hold us a 
spot, okay?"
 
Josh shook his head. 
 
"No? No what? What now?"
 
"holodeck two," Josh answered quietly as they reached their quarters.
 
Mac looked at him as though he'd lost his mind. "Oh, hell no! We're not doing 
that damned program of yours again, Hell! No! I thought you meant 'work out' 
work out, not 'get all messed up in closest thing to hell you can visit while 
living' work out. You work out in the gym.  You recreate in the holodeck. You 
don't run programs that are designed to want to kill you." He swore vehemently 
as Josh just shrugged again. "Dammit, you really do need some serious help, you 
know that?" 
 
Yet again, Josh shrugged as he silently keyed in the entry code to their 
quarters. Mac shook his  head and followed him in. He noticed the flashing 
light on their comm console, indicating that there were messages waiting, right 
away. No big surprise, though. Someone from his family called almost every 
night, so he'd expected he'd missed at least one call from them while they were 
incapacitated. Josh took no notice of it, knowing that it was highly unlikely 
it would have been for him. Instead, he headed for the shower. This is why it 
suprised them both to find an encoded message from the USS Starfire for Joshua. 
 
"Check it out. Maybe it's a girl," Mac grinned. "Somebody missed you while you 
were away?" Josh looked at Mac as though he'd lost his mind, as, laughing, Mac 
headed to the replicator to grab a bite and to give him some privacy.  A moment 
later, he heard a deafening crash. He came running to find the video terminal 
on the floor across the room in pieces, and Josh nowhere to be seen. Even as 
Mac ran out to find his friend, his uncharacteristic outburst making perfect 
sense in the light of the message he'd recieved, the audio component of the 
message continued to loop, repeating and repeating it's news into the emptiness 
of their quarters...
 
"...It is my sad duty to inform you of the death of Ensign Zachary Garrity..."
