As M’Lene drifted off, the door hissed open, revealing to them the new XO. Having once been a CMO herself, SEAI tried to stay out of the medical crew’s hair when she could, knowing that an unneeded figure could upset the workflow of the room. However, she was not here for pleasantries. Reports of the CSO staggering towards sickbay had reached her, and being the ‘caring’ individual that she was, she made her way there to see what the damage was. Approaching the bed, SEAI turned to Ryley. “I do hope that this was not the result of another one of her ‘stunts’, is it?” SEAI never did quite understand organic’s obsession with adrenaline, putting themselves in danger just to get a high that would wear off in a bit.

SEAI (XO)

From the biobed with a slight smile on her face, M’Lene began to purr loudly as she dozed. As she fell into a deeper sleep, she began to dream about her first date with Ryley. He pictured him in something smart but casual, perhaps with an open collar and she would put on her most sultry dress, the green one with the open back maybe. She would cook him dinner, something fancy, and then after dinner…

As she dreamt, she let out a little contented sigh and a warm smile spread across her face.

Noting that her patient must be comfortable enough now given she had drifted off and seemed to be enjoying some pleasant dreams, Jessica was about to turn to assist Ryley when SEAl came in. Her eyes darkened angrily as she overheard the question and, stretching herself to her full 5‘2”, she moved to intercept the XO.

“Dr. Ryley is busy treating this patient, Commander,” she said in a no nonsense tone. “If you have a concern about this officer, I’m sure that he would be happy to discuss the generalities with you in a private environment, not in the middle of Sickbay, after her treatment has been completed.” The absurdity of the situation enflamed her even more and she flushed with anger. Inquiring about someone’s condition was one thing, although teetering on the line of patient confidentiality, but doing it in such a rude manner in the middle of Sickbay during the treatment of the patient? That crossed her line of appropriateness as a doctor, no matter who the inquiring party might be.
