The ship's chief medical officer had insisted Kri'Stak remain in quarters. It was apparently a highly mutated strain of the Levodian flu, and in these conditions, any advanced treatment for the virus could become more dangerous than the flu itself.

But... Kri'Stak is a terrible patient. Oh, he tries to be good in the sense that he very much wants to recover as quickly as possible and get back to his duties. He strongly dislikes admitting there's anything he can't do, though, and he hates the entire aura of 'sickness', after all he's endured because of his father's malady.

As such, he mostly pushes himself to exhaustion trying to keep up with everything they'll let him do, further slowing the entire recovery process, and only really sleeps when reminded it will help his recovery, or his body just won't take any more.
