James is on his way back to Sabah after a short patrol flight when his PDA lights up and shows a message notification.
He sets his Nyx on autopilot and opens the message.
"Who is trying to contact me... Let's see... Oh, a personal message from Dr. Umeda."
He reads the message and soon arrives in com range of Sabah Shipyard.
"Sabah Shipyard, this is James Rascal coming from a short patrol. Requesting to dock."
"Sabah Shipyard here. Docking granted, Proceed to docking bay 1."
"Please notify Dr. Rio Umeda that I recieved her message and that I'm on my way to her office."
"Alright Captain. We are no messaging service, but we will notify her about your arrival."
James initiates the docking process, lands his Nyx on the hangar platform and while it moves to the hangar bay, opens the cockpit and gets ready to climb out. With a slight sigh and a bit nervous he speaks to himself.
"I swore I'd keep everything to myself... Is it really good I talk about that?... Hope It won't... Get me grounded or declared incapable for duty... Pffff... Whatever..."
The platform locks itself in place and James climbs out of his fighter.
After stepping out, he lights a cigarette and calmly heads for the hangar exit.
He walks through the hallways heading to the medical unit, and slowly he feels the headache again and his heartrate rises as he thinks about what he could say, what he will be able to answer to her questions.
This uneasy feeling gets stronger as he gets closer to the M.U.
He holds still for a moment, takes a brief rest leaning against the hallways wall, breaths in and mumbles to himself.
"Come on... Keep calm... Breath... Don't let it eat you... You can't keep your goals like this... Calm down..."
He pushes himself away from the wall and moves on to Rio's office.
As he reaches the door, his heartrate is at it's highest. He stands there, still and hesitating, trying to calm down, breathing deep and slow. He closes his eyes and as if he was guided by something else, finally steps forth and the door opens.
