Grounded, or should that be rocked...

Well, Maria is maybe behind this, maybe not, but After I went to the station medics, they put a temporary medical injunction on my flight license. I tried to ignore it and launch in my clipper, but tower refused to give me clearance to take off, so I guess I'm grounded, or given this is an asteroid station, should that be rocked?The medic was going on about grafting a cybernetic implant on my damaged left eye to accelerate the recovery process, "if you'd just take the implant you'd be cleared for flight in a matter of days, rather than weeks..." But he stymied himself when he told me the eye will fully recover in time. I mean, I've had these grey eyes a long time, indeed my late mother gave me them, so there is no way do I want to put a camera in place of one of them. Seeing as I'm not flying, I've stopped using (the mild dosage of ) combat stabilisers, and "Damn!", does it hurt now, you really forget how effective those things are.
So yeah, stuck on a theocratic asteroid station, flight status revoked, been in agony since I've stopped the combat stabilisers, thankfully there is a surprisingly well stocked bar. But given the theocracy who run this station's beliefs, no other form of entertainment, except the numerous temples. So... Went down to the hangars to give Maria a hand
working on the iEagle, granted I was hungover, but she was frosty with me. We've decided to transfer some of my stored, engineer modified shield boosters and a larger reactor to power them here, try and stop the iEagle getting shot up so badly next sortie, But I wonder if the extra mass will compromise the wonderful flight characteristics of this bird of prey.
While those modules are in transit, and Maria is in a mood with me, I'm off to the pilots amenities area, I'll go to the bar, see if any pilot there is willing to fetch me some progenitor cells to try and accelerate the recover of this eye, but I'm currently wondering am I more likely to drink myself into oblivion, or find spiritual enlightenment....
