Jackson - Day 1-4 - OTA

Jackson stayed in the infirmary. He didn't need to sleep, and he had no real use for his room. He brought all of his medical texts over, and he read through them in between being called on to help, like with Coby's friend (lover) who could not handle his new state of being (feeling). Jackson knew, intellectually, how overwhelming feelings could be. He had memories. But he felt so far removed from them. All he could do was treat the young man.

After finding a good dosage for the meds Miss River Tam helpfully brought over, on April 2, Jackson released him, and was once again alone in the infirmary. He went back to reading. Some time during the third day, he finished the last of his books. Some time during that third night, he decided to risk leaving the infirmary and go seek companionship in the bar. An interesting conversation, hopefully, with a night owl, given that it was closing on two am. He didn't understand the need to do something itching at him, so the best thing to do was to remedy the situation, and his processes would go back to normal.

He wondered how Corbie was doing, his LED light flashing briefly to yellow on his temple.

He ignored that, too.
