Hello! There's a Horta at the Bar.

And he has something that might just be a recipe for trouble. You see, when he ordered some lunch, Bar also included three new toys. The controls are simple, so Naraht now has a team of tiny Daleks swarming around him, bumping into things and playfully chasing the occasional waitrat.

He grins tiredly.

"Yeah, please, thanks. How are you?"

He picks up the controls and manages to make the red Dalek go around in circles.

"Resting before plunging back into the fray," he says. "I believe the phrase for what is going on back home is '1400 hours and all is hell'."

The black Dalek turns around and rams a napkin someone left on the floor.

"How about yourself?"

A small smile. "Understaffed, overtired, nothing unusual." The horta may be able to 'see' another recent rib injury to add to his collection, about a month old. This one is nearly healed.

Red Dalek hits a spoon and falls over.

Indeed. Naraht is beginning to think that Dr. McCoy's opinion of the savagry of 20th century medicine is correct...in relation to the doctors, that is.

"Situation normal - going to hell by express basket," he says sympatheticly. The blue Dalek zips over to his fallen comrade.

"YOU WILL BE EX-TER-MIN-A-TED!"

"Not very forgiving little entities, are they?"

"Yeah. I suppose at least this time we're a doctor down through suspension rather than staff death."

On that occasion it was an arsonist that didn't want him treating a patient whilst trapped in a cellar of a recently burning building.

Casualty evidently had some budget to use up in the New Year's special. Either that or they needed to use up the special rubble cake mix.

"No death is good," Naraht says, righting the fallen Dalek. "Perhaps you should engage in some creative craziness to relieve the stress. Want to take that one home and run it through triage?"

The MASH approach to mental health among doctors.

"Hm, I like the idea, but I don't think Tess would approve. Thanks though."

Things that Tess has previously disapproved of have been a pumpkin, a scooter and a Scrabble-based game where the nurses competed for top points based on what the first letter of patient's illnesses they treated were, for cash.
