Dira listened to the sequence of events with an impassive expression. One did not make it as a psychiatrist with any skill for twenty years without being able to adopt a flawless mask when necessary. Add to that the command training and her own experiences and, well, Dira could be damn well intimidating when she needed to be. A tiny subtle nod of her head was her reply to Sinclair but she turn towards Alisson and pointed to the sofa that was away from the desk where Anthony was. “Sit,” she said. “And for the time being say nothing, and I do mean nothing for the time being. That goes for both of you. We’ll be right back.”

Alisson blinked, “Oh yes…of course.” She smiled dazzlingly at Sinclair, and sighed so sweetly, Anthony almost laughed, but years of dealing with cadets kept his reaction to himself. “I’m just so upset, it’s hard to sit still.” The more cooperative she was the better. She even gave the impression she would do anything the man asked of her.

“Captain,” Anthony looked up, “I will have to insist that you place security in the room. Perhaps that three man team that responded? You see,” he glanced at Alisson, “she has filed for a VPO against myself and my daughter. It has not yet gone before the courts, but you can understand my concern were we to be left in a room together. And my lawyer has instructed me to stay well away from her.” Alisson’s mouth dropped open and her fists flexed for a moment. How…how DARE he. “That’s a private matter, Anthony.” Anthony shrugged slightly but kept his gaze on Myqian.

Dira nodded. Security seemed like a good idea anyway.

Myqian simply stepped back into the corridor and waited for Royal, her arms folded across her chest, the tension in her jaw betraying her anger.

Sinclair stepped into the passageway and looked at the Security officer. “Lieutenant, post inside and keep those two separated. AND quiet.” The Lieutenant nodded and stepped into the room and door slid shut, leaving Myqian and Sinclair alone. Royal looked at her and said crossed his arms across his chest and leaned his back against the wall. ” Captain, if I can slip my former Security officer hat on a moment, from a method-of-injury standpoint, those injures are… shall we say ‘inconsistent’… with her description of events. If she was close enough to step on the dog, she wouldn’t have had the distance to wind up a kick to do that kind of damage. She had to be further away. As it stands, I am disinclined to acquiesce to her version of events. She also acknowledged, without realizing it, that she was told to leave and didn’t.” He shook his head and looked at the floor. “This is wholly disgusting, Captain. Those injuries show multiple kicks.” He looked back at her and said “I don’t think she is completely stable, Captain. Burst of anger with a physical violence component, attempted insinuation of affection with authority figures, deflection of responsibility to victim, avoidance of direct responses, and gestures of superiority towards those she feels are deserving of punishment on her behalf… narcissistic complex coupled with overdeveloped sense of entitlement?”

Her facade was impeccable but out in the corridor there was notable tension in her jaw. “I’m disinclined to diagnose after sixty seconds but I share your concerns,” Dira said. She tapped the PADD that listed Frigga’s injuries against her side a couple of times before dropping her arms. “This is the way we’re going to handle this,” she said and then outlined her idea.

“You good with that?”

Captain Myqian, CO

Sinclair smiled and said “Oh yes… quite good. And just so you are aware, I wasn’t trying to diagnose… just prep for what may occur once we step back inside.” He stepped to the door so it slid open, waited for Myqian to walk inside and followed. He looked at the Lieutenant and said “These two give you any trouble?” The Lieutenant shook his head and said “No, sir. Quiet. Although the lady asked if she could go to the refresher and clean up. I declined the request, Sir.” Sinclair nodded once and said “Good job. Post outside. Don’t let anyone down the hall.” The Security officer left and the door slid closed.

Anthony was leaned back in the desk chair, feet propped on the corner of the desk, hands folded over his middle and eyes seemingly closed. Though he had watched everything through the veil of his lashes. When Sinclair entered he seemed to awake immediately, much to Alisson’s annoyance, dropped his feet and sat up.

Dira’s demeanour was still rather impassive, though she carried herself in a slightly more relaxed manner. “Alright, consider this the investigative portion of the situation. Before we proceed with anything, I want to make sure I have all the pertinent information. Now both of you are going to be allowed the opportunity to speak. If there is anything else you with to add that might be important, by means, speak up. But you will take turns and while the other is speaking I would highly recommend you do not,” she said, shifting her jet eyes from Anthony to Alisson, and then back to Anthony.

“Commander Bonner, you first. Is there anything else I should know?” Myqian asked.

Captain Myqian, CO

Anthony rose to his feet and came to attention as soon as she addressed him. She was the captain and he was still an officer. “Several points, Captain. First, GALEN will you inform the Captain of the message Cmdr Kane ordered you to deliver?”

=/\=Lt Cmdr Kane ordered me to inform Ms. Turner, by that designation because she is seeking a martial divorce from Lt Cmdr Anthony Bonner, that Doctos Kane and Lt Cmdr Bonner were in his quarters and did not wish to be disturbed.=/\=

“What happened next GALEN?”

=/\=Mrs. Bonner proceeded to take a turbolift to this deck and ask for directions to your quarters. I informed her you were not to be disturbed and she ordered me to take her anyway.=/\=

“Thank you, GALEN.” Anthiny said. He took a breath but was interrupted. Alisson was fuming, hands balled into fists. Then she took a breath. “I couldn’t believe Alexis really meant that message for me.”

Anthony waited and then continued. “When Mrs Bonner came to the door I answered but refused to let her in. Cmdr Kane came to the door as well and i formed her this was a private meeting and she wasn’t welcome. She proceeded several times to gain entry. Cmdr Kane blocked her path but did not touch her. I will tell you that Frigga did growl, but not when Mrs Bonner claims. It was ashe was coming down the corridor. I understand, Cpt you are familiar with Frigga and her training. It was not threatening and was from 4 and half meters away. It was a warning of a tense situation. At the time of her injuries she was silent and sitting next to Cmdr Kane. In fact her tail was wagging. Frigga did not threaten Alisson in any way. I could surmise why Mrs Bonner attacked the dog, but it is supposition on my part and not fact. Cmdr Kane knocked her backwards and restrained her to stop her from attacking Frigga further and I summoned security. I formally request that you have GALEN pull the ship’s security feeds for confirmation.” That little detail made Alisson gasped with indignation.
