Sitting t her work station in the medical lab, Aizala stared at the screen in front of her, a slight frown on her freckled face. She had run an analysis several days ago of an experiment she had conducted. To make sure that her work was sound and to get a second opinion, she had asked the science department to run an analysis as well. She should have heard back from them already as she had been told that it should take no more than a day or two. That had been almost a week ago and she really needed those results to make sure she was on the right track. Lifting her hand, she let it hover over her chest for a few short moments and then dropped it again. Instead she pushed to her feet and left the lab. Of course calling them would have been the faster thing to do, but so far her interactions with the science department had been rather minimal and she hadn’t even met the Chief Science Officer yet. So way not catch two flies with one stone?

A few minutes later, the petite redhead walked into the Main Science Lab and looked around for the Chief Science Officer.

~Lt. Tija, Doctor

A young Bajoran looked up as the Doctor entered the lab. “Hello, Lieutenant. Can I help you?” she asked nicely.

“Hello,” Aizala replied with a soft smile. “I’m looking for the Chief Science Officer. Is he around?”

She pointed to the CSO’s office door which stood open. “I think he’s in there. If he isn’t, he’s probably in the R&D lab.” and she smiled and went back to her work.

“Thank you,” the Doctor replied with a slight bow of her head and then made her way over towards the office. Since the door stood open, she didn’t ring the chime but knocked on the frame instead as she walked a single step into the office.

The door to the office stood open. It was a mess. Crates and various items lay scattered about and it was hard to tell if someone was moving in or moving out. As Tija entered, a now-familiar form stood up from below the desk and looked at her. Wild hair fell down the right side of his face and a feral look peered out from behind the mane…

If possible her pale face turned even paler as Aizala looked at Kane. This had to be a dream, a very bad dream…

It was Kane, the supposed time-traveling, dimension hopping Doctor form the Research lab that had made wholly inappropriate comments and more than blatant suggestions to her a few weeks ago. He set his hands on the desk and said “Oh great… another visit from the Tin Foil Hat Society. What is it now? No no… let me guess. I’m no longer a time traveling, universe hopping physician. Now… now I am a disguised scout for a hyper-advanced race of lizard people hell bent on taking over the galaxy! I’m surprised you don’t have a full Security team with you. Or did you just find out I have an office with a door on it; and you came to take me up on the desk invitation from before?” and he grinned wickedly.

Kane, CSO

Aizala physically recoiled a little at his words and took a small, involuntary step backwards. For a few moments she tried to make herself say something, anything in response to those hideous accusations. But in the end she just shook her head and turned on her heels. She really didn’t want to deal with that person! She even started to walk away, but then remembered why she had come down here. So after taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, she turned around again and said, “We are waiting for results from an analysis your department was supposed to do about a week ago. It’s important that it gets done and that we get that information asap.” And with that said, she turned around again and made to leave the main science lab.

~Lt. Tija, Doctor

A loud voice came from the office. “So do you want the results or not?!” Kane shouted after her. Not seeing her, he shrugged and went back to packing up the former CSO’s things to get them… as he so eloquently put it to the staff earlier the day before… ‘the hell outta my way’.

Kane, CSO

Suddenly standing in his door frame again, Aizala replied curtly, “What do you think? Of course I want them. I wanted them five days ago, actually. So why don’t you do your job and send me that data so that I can do my job?” Taken by surprise by her own sharp words, she felt blood rush into her cheeks and for once wished that her hair wasn’t pulled back in a neat ponytail. Then at least she might have been able to hide her face behind a curtain of hair. If only that guy wouldn’t constantly push all the wrong buttons and make her act in ways that were so out of character!

~Lt. Tija, Doctor

Kane looked at her and said “Then you should have talked to the guy that was in charge five days ago, then, shouldn’t ya? But before you get all pissy, you should know I’ve been here about 29 hours and I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. If you wanna help me understand, good. If not, keep walking and let me unpack.”

Kane, CSO

Taking a deep breath and pinching the bridge of her nose slightly, Aizala closed her eyes and counted till ten. She really hated how she acted around this man. So she swore to herself to try and do better. There was a hint of shame and guilt in her jade green eyes when she opened them again. “I’m sorry. I’m usually not a mean and rude person. I have been really on edge lately,” she replied, her voice softer than before. “Maybe we can start over again and I’ll explain what I’m looking for? If you don’t want that I understand and I’ll send you a copy of the initial request.”
