Harding, CMO

D’vash turned to the counselor. “Do you think you smell is sensitive enough to detect a difference? Give it a shot, Sathut. Right now we need any advantage we can get.”

Turning to Doc Harding, he continued. “Do any of your people know what’s going on yet?”

Harding shook his head, “No, I came straight here with my suspicions. I didn’t want to alarm my staff until I knew for sure.”

The next thing he said was going to be hard on the others, especially Harding. “Since we haven’t heard anything from Capt. Thorne recently, we have to assume the worst.”

He knew Thorne and Harding had been getting close, but wasn’t sure how far their relationship had progressed. Still, he offered the doctor a sympathetic look. “If we do find her, she has to be our captain, since she was killed in the other ‘verse.”

“Until that time, we’re on own our own.”

OOC: Waiting for Harding to answer about sickbay before planning the next move.

Collin’s face was impassive. He’d spent enough time on the frontlines with the Starfleet Marines, to know how to compartmentalize his emotions when in the middle of it. He wasn’t going to assume the worst until he knew for sure.

D’vash felt for the CMO, but was glad he was keeping it under control and professional. He knew he would have to do the same if Pretha had disappeared. “I don’t want something to intricate, Sathut. One or two words should suffice. Only those of us on the bridge and the people with Sural should know.”

Once the password and response were decided on, “Pretha, send that info to Sural to share with this people he trusts. Sathut and I are going to take a road trip. We’ll bypass sickbay for the time being and meet up with Sural instead, see what we can do about regaining control of the computer.”

“Doc, as soon as you’ve finished confirming everyone here on bridge, I’d like to take your medical scanner and tri-corder so Sathut and I can test people we may come across.”

Collin didn’t like giving up his tricorder. He felt naked without it, much as he imagined a security officer felt without the weight of a phaser at her hip, but he understood the necessity of the situation.

“Aye, sir.”

Pretha frowned. “Are you sure it’s such a good idea to have you wandering the ship?” She looked at D’Vash and made herself see him as her XO and not her lover. “I mean, the computer having me in command NOW is all fine and dandy, but the crew doesn’t know that. And if we gain control, you need to be here on the bridge… In charge.”

She realized she wasn’t arguing her case we’ll. But he’s almost been shot because she’d underestimated the NE. If he left the bridge, she couldn’t protect him. And that didn’t sit well with her on many levels.

D’vash accepted the tricorder from the doctor and handed it to Sathut, all the while grinning at Pretha. “I understand your concern, Lt., but I’ve been doing this kind of thing for a long time. Besides, there’s another Pretha Oberon running around, and knowing that you’re here will make it much easier to shoot your double if we run across her.”
