"Put your shirt back on, Sir."

Oscar tossed his stethoscope onto the desk. He had insisted on examining us personally.

"Well you're borderline, but I'm not going to convince you to rest, am I?

"The boat is ready to sail, Doc, who else is going to take her out?"

"Kap, you are going on patrol, in a boat with the Captain and First Officer with barely healed holes in their chests. I've seen you wince just going up and down the ladder"

"People have carried on with much worse, Oscar, and we don't have time. Now Christians's waiting outside, are you going to sign us back to active service or not?

Oscar sighed, and then dashed his signature across the bottom of a couple of forms, and then fiercely rubber stamped them. "I suppose if we are going out again, then it would be good to have some people who vaguely know what they're doing. But why don't I take one of the watches? I'm not a sailor like Christian, but I haven't had a bullet prised away from my lung either".

"Doc, you know he won't give up his First Watch. But let's say we talk to him and somehow share the load on the next patrol. Spend some time up there with Willi or Bruno, they'll soon show you the ropes, but I do need Christian back in the crew, and even you can see that would be good for him too".

"Yes, it would be good to have him back."

Oscar dumped the paperwork into his out tray and threw the Flotilla surgery door open.

"Well what are you still doing here, Christian? Don't you have a boat to run?"
