“I’ve been working on my diplomacy,” Brad said. “Don’t worry, you’ll get a recording when I do go off on Drs. Statler and Waldorf.”

Willow laughed, again it turned into a slight cough.

At that moment the doors slid open and the young XO entered the room. Amari was a slender woman with a kind face. Her bright smile stood in contrast to her mocha skin and her hair was pulled back into a chocolate puff that sat neatly on top of her head. Her eyes had that unique feature of sparkling even when the light was dim. She rushed in. “Doctor Lemann,” she recognized the woman from her personnel file, “I was wondering if you would have a moment to discuss my daughter and schedule a checkup?” She then noticed the captain… who was injured. “What the hell happened to you?” she asked, totally forgetting conduct protocols. “The captain is injured and no one thinks to notify the first officer?” She looked around for the responsible party.

-Lt. Cmdr. Dr. Amari Brooks, XO

oh great Willow thought seeing Brooks. She gave a guilty smile and waved the hand with the instrument she was using on her cut at the XO in a ‘oops busted’ sort of way.

Well, this is becoming a party, Jessica thought to herself as a woman she identified as the XO of the ship made her way into Sickbay as well. She found herself momentarily entranced by the woman’s sparkling eyes and met them for a few moments with her own set, grinning. “I’d love to discuss your daughter, Commander, and I’d be happy to take her own as a patient,” she quickly replied, excitement at her work filling her voice. Resting a hand on an injured part of the CO’s shoulder, she kept her grin on her face as she responded, “I don’t think we’d quite gotten to the notification stage yet.” Her voice was just a slight bit firmer in defense of the woman who wasn’t precisely her patient yet. A nagging thought that she’d yet to actually report for duty entered her brain, but she dug her heels in and looked expectantly at Willow to see whether she was going to handle her treatment herself or needed any assistance.

“True, Commander. She’s only been here a minute.”

Only slightly annoyed, Amari dropped the tough guy act. She already knew that the captain had an adventurous side, it was something she actually admired about her, although it did make her job of ensuring the captain’s safety, somewhat more difficult. “Perhaps. But I have a nagging feeling that this won’t be the last time she comes in here with a scraped knee.”

Reaching around Willow started treating the wound on her leg then gave a grimace of pain and sighing sat straight again. Offering the device between Jessica, Brad and Amari. “Someone get that for me.”

Amari made no move to retrieve the dermal re-generator. Finally, the doctor instincts had subsided as she settled into her new role in command.

Jessica’s hand reached out to snap up the device before either of the others could react and she squatted down to carefully treat Taylor’s leg. A few moments later, she was stretching back up to her full height and leaning back slightly, studying her handiwork and then the CO. “How does it feel now, ma’am?” she asked politely, tilting her head to the side to study her new CO.

Chief of Staff

Testing the muscle Willow stretched it, She smiled. “Much better thank you.” She needed a painkiller and possibly a triox hypo now. Looking at Jessica she said “I’m sure Doctor Walker will be happy to handle your boarding physical now.” She said looking at Brad. She then turned to Amari.

“So number one you caught me looking like I was attacked by a fangorian razor beast and then dumped in a sand pit.” She grinned at her XO.

Immediately Amari was embarassed as she looked from the captain to Dr. Walker and then finally let her apologetic eyes land on Dr. Lemann. “Doctor, forgive me. I didn’t realize that you weren’t fully cleared for duty yet. I’ll call you at a more convenient time. As for you, Sir,” she turned addressing the captain formally in a way that said both ‘I’m mostly kidding’ and ‘but I’m also dead serious,’ “if you are dead set on risking life and limb for you leisure activities would you at least recruit a climbing partner and put your overworked first officer’s mind at ease?”
