Posted by Lieutenant Commander Joe Milligan (XO) in Gym (Post Meeting)
Joe had not necessarily been too enthused about the last assignment the Merri had had. He hadn’t cared for the people for one thing. Who shot kids off into space blindly? But then he had had to be nice to them. Diplomacy bah! It had never been Joe’s strongpoint. But now they had an honest to goodness mission. They were out to help some people. And of course, there might be some danger involved. Which explained the fact that Joe was now busy trying to beat the lining off of a punching bag which he would follow with a two-mile run.

As Joe finally got around to running, he thought through the meeting. He was happy with his team He was pretty sure they would do well. Of course, he knew that he had made Doctor Cross angry but that had been a tactical decision on his part. He was overall happy with the way things were going.

Cross entered the gym ‘’Ah there you are ‘’ now walking over to Joe ‘’I don’t understand what’s going on,I asked the Captain if he would give me permission to speak to you in private.He not only ignored my request but then you came here to the gym of all places !’‘.

The doctor went on ‘’Cmdr its important to know that the Capt is suffering from severe headache and nightmares from PSTD ,so do question his judgement when down on the planet,that is the reason for my concern,take with you medication for the pain if he happens to get another attack’‘.

She put up a finger closed to Joe’s nose ‘’And never call me Miriam when others are around,there is enough gossip and conversation involving rumors or hearsay about the affairs of others ‘’,

Cross turned around about to leave ‘’I’m going back to sickbay,its a relief for me not going down on that planet.something tells me I would probably end up as a slave....stay safe Cmdr’‘.
