One of the first steps that the team took, after Gnai joined it, was to determine how to properly disguise themselves. A [[Betazoid]], an [[Edo]], a [[Mizarian]], and a Galadoran would raise eyebrows - and likely alarms - if spotted milling about the capital city of Ki Baratan. As soon as it had proposed disguising itself as some sort of robot, the group was interrupted by a Romulan civilian, who promptly fled as soon as he had laid eyes upon the gathered officers <ref name="A Very Warm Welcome">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NrlrPoAD-LmeNtXxH14 A Very Warm Welcome], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240102.28</ref>. The team gave chase, and Lt. JG. Sadar managed to block the Romulan's escape long enough for Cmdr. Adea to knock him out with his cane. Now burdened with an unconscious Romulan, Lt. Jovenan and Gnai hid the body back in a very convenient locker in the room they had first met in. It was during this trip that Gnai learned the reason why they were back in 2374 - the others had just come from an alternate timeline in which [[Betazed]] had remained occupied by the [[Dominion]] far longer than it should have <ref name="Please Sir, I Studied Klingon at the Academy">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NrxT-qEiQZgQNJDLB-1 Please Sir, I Studied Klingon at the Academy], Ens.

|Content = [ | |Content = Finally, the stress of the mission was over, and the ''Artemis'' was on shore leave. Gnai's first point of order, however, was to check in with the CMO in sickbay. Starfleet wanted new officers to get a check up on their first assignment, it seemed, and Gnai could not find a way to get out of it, no matter how much it tried. It wasn't ''scared'' of going to the doctor, no, it just found having to explain what it knew of its anatomy got tedious after the first few times, and it expected to have to do the same. Again. Ugh <ref name="Does Anyone Really Like Going To Sickbay...?">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NulSlTnJM2YKg2nG2Hg Does Anyone Really Like Going To Sickbay...?], Ens.

It ran into Crewman [[Kafkazet]] while trying to find Cmdr. Adea in the sickbay, who helpfully directed it to the CMO office. The commander commanded more than just a modicum of fear within Gnai, as it had seen his acting <ref name="I'd Rather Be Framing A Painting...">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nt2oFkxcrlzV3nIBte1 I'd Rather Be Framing A Painting...], Ens.

Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240103.01</ref>) in full force on Romulus, and it had no desire to be on the receiving end of any of that <ref name="Does Anyone Really Like Going To Sickbay...?">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NulSlTnJM2YKg2nG2Hg Does Anyone Really Like Going To Sickbay...?], Ens.

Surprisingly to Gnai, Cmdr. Adea was exceptionally warm to the young Galadoran. He began by offering to get Gnai something from his replicator (presumably another beverage as he had made tea, but Galadorans don't drink), which Gnai used to ask for roe. It had found the human delicacy to be quite analagous to some of the foods it ate back on Galador II, and it was a good snack for such a tense meeting <ref name="Is It Drinking If One Is Always In Water?">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nv5hKH37htlsZFJaq84 Is It Drinking If One Is Always In Water?], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240104.10</ref>. | |||
It wasn't surprising that Cmdr. Adea wasn't going to let Gnai get out of this check-up easily, but what did surprise Gnai was that he had already studied up on Galadoran physiology. This was of great relief to Gnai, as was the suggestion that it reach out to someone to act as a "medical" engineer for its suit, as Cmdr. Adea wasn't confident in his own abilities. Gnai knew that Salkath had volunteered before to check out the suit, but hadn't had the chance to follow up. Perhaps now would be the perfect time <ref name="Telehealth Appointment">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nv8vIqP65KzYZ6wmCAr Telehealth Appointment], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240104.10</ref>. | |||
Ever conscious of the needs of his patients, Cmdr. Adea suggested that the rest of the meeting be conducted telepathically, as both could project their thoughts into the other's mind. Gnai appreciated the gesture, as it allowed it to better express itself outside of the limitations of its suit's speakers. Proceeding with the check in, Gnai reassured Cmdr. Adea that the only repercussions that it had suffered during the mission were just stress-related, nothing harmful had happened on Romulus or in prison. Sure, sleeping in its tank was uncomfortable, but the quarters on the ship were exceeding its expectations <ref name="Telehealth Appointment">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nv8vIqP65KzYZ6wmCAr Telehealth Appointment], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240104.10</ref>. | |||
Cmdr. Adea then proceeded to scan Gnai with a tricorder. It continued to reiterate that it felt fine <ref name="Trust Me, I'm Fine, But Thanks For Asking">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NvL_Y8H2Q-roAXLMoVF Trust Me, I'm Fine, But Thanks For Asking], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240104.13</ref>, even with his prescription of "rest and relaxation" <ref name="That's An Order">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NvRgwsxEWDnyTVFv9XA That's An Order], Cmdr. Adea, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240104.14</ref>. It was an order, then. Gnai was to do something that relaxed it - the next question was what that might entail. It liked to wander, to see new things (and "seeing" music)... which is why it was pleased to hear the commander's suggestion of the station <ref name="Doctor's Orders">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nv_l9vlOEUoqPI15vyI Doctor's Orders], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240104.16</ref>. | |||
A plan was made to meet at the Arboretum the very next day, at Cmdr. Adea's suggestion. Gnai had been to the botanical gardens at the Academy, and was delighted by the idea of seeing another similar place. There was a twist, though. Cmdr. Adea was going to bring his dog, Toto. Gnai knew of pets, but it really never understood the desire to keep them. With that all settled, Gnai excused itself from sickbay, pleasantly surprised with how the check in had gone <ref name="I Wood Like To Make Like A Tree And Leaf, Sir">{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-NvbuUUoe7a-bckW452C I Wood Like To Make Like A Tree And Leaf, Sir], Ens.
