Issac steps over the the medical supplies. The shelves have
packaged and sealed boxes containing basic supplies that a
ship's sick bay would need. He should be able to simply take a
box here and there to get the supplies he needs.
While Issac is doing that, Paris is continuing to browse
around. She is looking for various items the ship is going to
need.
A few minutes pass and both shoppers have found what they need...
OOC: Details aren't needed, unless you want certain items to
definitely be in sickbay or in the ship's locker when you go
to look for them later. Even if you're through shopping and
just want me to give you a cost and move on, I do need to get
a sign off from you both.
