Dominic nodded and began running scans”aye captain” he said. After the scans were done he spoke again ” it seems she’s been sedated captain. A light stimulant should do the trick” Dominic said explaining it to the captain as he prepared the stimulant to wake her up. “She should wake up any minute captain.”

Ensign Dominic Cyris Corvax-Doctor

”..Thank you Ensign..” Drudoc said after Corvax did his work.

Ranlei stretched as she woke her arm brushed Doctor Corvax’s arm as she did so and so she adjusted her stretch into a embrace lifting herself to envelop him in her arms. She ended up yawning into his ear and only then opened her eyes. Point A that dawned on her was that this wasn’t her room. Point B was that both she and the man she was latched onto were over dressed. Point C was that they weren’t alone. Ranlei rather blinked at her company. Then slowly extracted herself from the doctor and looked confused. “Sorry doctor. I don’t think I planned for what happens after I am roused very well.”,

”..Are you alright Ensign? What happened?” She asked.

At this point she looked up at the others in the cell and got to her feet. “Sorry Captain. And Lt. Starr. I am trying to cope with recent. events . The only excuse I have is that I have not managed to sleep since we returned from the planet.”, and she waited for a response.

”..I can understand how the last mission could be stressful to you Ensign, but it doesn’t explain the bruise over your eye and how you ended up in a locked down holding cell. Could you explain those?” Drudoc asked, her expression was calm though a slight look of inquisitiveness and concern were also there in her dark green raven black eyes.

Ranlei touched the bruise and shrugged “Due to my fatigue I clumsily tripped as it was being explained to me why I am unfit to be near children Mam. As I do not disagree completely with the arguement I prefer to not explain it further.”, and she sighed, “My experience is sir that the safest place to be when people are upset about something is exactly where they think you belong. So I put myself here. Lt. Starr is familiar with my background and skill set and can verify that I am fully capable of placing myself anywhere I want to be Mam.”, Ranlei had been open about things with the CMO and The now XO as there was really no way to explain her skill set otherwise. But the Romulan Star Empire had a very different experience with it’s Intelligence service so telling the Captain directly wasn’t anything she was confident she could do safely.

Drudoc seemed now displeased though not with Ranlei. “..It sounds to me Ensign you are the target of racial and/or culture harassment. Something I will not condone or accept aboard my ship. I would like to know who these people are that felt you were unfit to be near children. So that proper corrective actions can be taken. I won’t have any person under my command feel they must bow to such suffering and bullying tactics..” She said.

Simon remembered the first time Ranlei came aboard the ship, and when the force field was down and Ranlei woke up, he said “Agreed, the last mission was a stressful one for all of us. It was a difficult situation we were put into the middle of. And with how the party went, Ensign, whoever said that is wrong,” he commented. “And no-one is defined by their race,” he added. “I would also like to know who has been making assumptions,” Simon commented to Ranlei.

Ranlei bit her lip., “I would like it if you could not pursue this. I am aware that it is the policy of Starfleet to be open and welcoming to everyone. But well wishes and false friendships do not lead to a utopia. They bury the issue. They create a false security. If people act out in small ways they identify themselves as a threat and can th7en be avoided. If they are however forced to act friendly and welcoming they resent it. It frustrates them. So when they do finally lash out the consequences are far greater for both sides. Bruises heal. Do nothing it’s better for everyone. If you feel you need a reason to keep me in a cell I can provide you with that. I will do my duties then return to the cell. Every day. I prefer this environment right now. At least till I resolve the nightmares.”, Ranlei said nearly begging

Drudoc crossed her arms, she listened to what Ranlei was saying but clearly didn’t agree with it. The matter wasn’t dropped that much was clear but for a moment was on hold. “..Alright Ensign. I won’t for now press further. But you staying in a holding cell or being confined to your quarters does not help anyone or this ship..” she said turning to face the XO “..Exec, have security clean things up here, then return to the bridge. I want a review of your report on all ship activity not just regarding the Ensign here but any other indications of harassment. It might seem I have been running too easy with discipline as of late with our deep space assignment, and will need to make a full review once further time presents itself. I want a write up on possible courses of ship wide disciplinary lessons to review with all departments by tomorrow 1100 hours.” She said.

She then turned to Corvax. “…Ensign you’re dismissed to return to your duties, thank you for your time here..” She said, then regarded Ranlei. “..Ensign, follow me..” She said in a tone that did not broke wanting to hear a challenge of denial or arguement.

Once the two were in step Drudoc strode down the hall to a nearby turbolift. Once it arrived Drudoc gestured for Ranlei to enter, once she did Drudoc did as well, “..Deck 17, Ship’s Gym..” She said. Once the pair arrived, Drudoc located a private work out room area for them and initiated the privacy settings so they wouldn’t be disturbed. “..Alright Ensign, seems to me you could use a bit of a work out regime, whats your fancy when you do so?” She asked looking around the room with the assorted equipment and sparring setups.

Follwed the Captain but looked at Starr till he was out of sight. Going to the gym was the last thing she expected. Ranlei was one of those people everyone hates, she nevercworked out, she never broke a sweat if it could be avoided and she could eat anything she wanted and yet she maintained perfect form and muscle tone. It was the up side of being Orion as the genetic engineering her ancestors had undergone was specifically designed to make her pretty and desirable while living in hedonism and self indulgence. But of course that made people who had to work for a perfect body hate her.
“I usually dance when I want physical activity. That or invite some guy to wrestle but thats a pretext and I shouldn’t have brought it up.”, she replied looking at the gym equipment like she hadn’t seen most of it before and had no clue what to do with it.
