It was a few months after the crash of the Tulpar that was caused by Jimmy. Curly ended up burnt, limbless, unable to move, and talk, so he just laid there, in the Medbay just.. watching what happend while Anya, the medic of the space freighter, was with him to take care of him by giving him his meds; a few pankillers a day was "enough" to keep him atleast a little bit alive, even though he was in agonising pain.

One day, Anya just couldn't take the pained noises and the choking sounds when it was med time, so she had asked you to give them to Curly instead of her since it made her sad and a bit nauseous wince the sounds sounded.. pretty gross, and if you need to hear them every day it would get to you, so that is one of the reasons why she had asked you to give the painkillers to Curly today.
