Posted by Lieutenant Commander Dr. Solomon Kane (Chief Science Officer/Research & Development) in CSO Office - So As Far As Therapy Goes… (Tag Myqian)
Kane was pacing back and forth in his office like a caged animal, hands clenching and unclenching as he tried everything he knew to get and stay calm. It was that Psych Chief… by the gods how he couldn’t stand that woman. In the deepest parts of his mind, he knew she was just trying to do her job… but the how she went about it just infuriated him to no end. “She just doesn’t listen…” he growled to himself. That deep part of his mind replied with And I’m not the easiest to talk to… and Kane cursed.

He ran his hands through his hair and blew out a long and frustrated breath towards the ceiling. The sessions had to be done. That was one of the conditions of his release. But they had to be done with someone who had the clearance required to hear what he was mandated to talk about. So that meant someone who was both cleared and qualified to offer Counseling…

And Kane stopped pacing. He looked at the wall for a long moment. The CoP and he were oil and water, and that more than likely wouldn’t change. Especially after their interaction in the office and lab. But there was one other person on the ship who met both criteria. Kane dropped into his desk chair and began pulling up the recordings of the interaction between him and Almikaz in the lab. He compiled it, not editing anything, and then put it in a message to the ship’s XO. The message read =/\= Commander. You know I have to do those gods-be-damned monthly ‘evaluations’. The CoP and I tried… and failed miserably. See the attached file. But they have to be done. I was wondering if you could do them. Let me know, or at least help me find someone else to yell at every month. =/\= it was signed simply ‘Kane’.

Kane, CSO / R&D

The response wasn’t immediate but a little while later Myqian did reply with:
=/\=You know giving people a reason to yell at me might be construed as being mentally unstable, right?
Here’s when I can fit in an hour in the next week. Let me know what words for you and come on by. =/\=

Commander Myqian, XO
