The door swished closed as the chief intelligence officer left, the interview put him back on track with his timings and this next one was the last before lunch, his coffe remained on the side half full and cold, still he took a sip anyway as he waited for his next victim the chief medical officer, Lieutenant Commander Theodore Knox. Raauhl actually looked forward to this one because the medical staff catered for not just the star fleet personnel but everyone on board from the cold to dismemberment and a happy doctor is a happy patient.
