I shouldn't have... but I did.

How bad can it be?

O..oh. Not that bad.. just.. I called in sick to work. That's all..

*nods slowly, frowning a bit* And are you sick?

A pause, then she looked down.

N..no. Not ex-- No. I'm not.

*nods again* Then why call out? Don't like your job?

I... love my job. But... I... I couldn't leave the apartment...

I know we don't know each other, but are you alright?

I.. Yes. I.. I will be. I just.. It's nothing.

If there's any way I could help... please let me know.

Th..thank you. I.. will be fine. I.. just.. Jonathan would probably agree.. that I'm not ready to go back.. not just yet.

*nods, unlocks post!* Sorry... I'm Colonel Sheppard.

It's nice to meet you.

A colonel? How interesting.

I.. I'm Nadine. Nice to meet you.

Mhm. Air Force.

I do hope you feel better soon.

I have great respect for the men and women in our military.

It's good to know someone still does.

Thank you.
