</Snip from Captain Steele's All in a Day's Work> | |||
"I officially have to investigate the complaint against you. But judging | |||
from that bottle I don't think it will take us too long to get rid of the | |||
evidence." Steele said smiling. | |||
</snip> | |||
"I wouldn't worry about it too much." Corbett said pouring them both | |||
another glass. | |||
Steele gave the doctor a quizzical look as he sipped his third glass. | |||
"And why is that?" | |||
"I have a feeling Mr. Maxwell's complaint will be met with a great deal of | |||
skepticism. I noticed he wasn't looking very well during our landing | |||
approach." Corbett said smiling. "In fact he seemed quite shaky." | |||
"Not because you did anything to him, correct doctor?" Steele asked. | |||
"Sar I'm a man of medicine anything I do is strictly in the interest of | |||
public health." Corbett said flashing another toothy grin as he sipped | |||
from his own glass. "I took the liberty of contacting one of the Flight | |||
Surgeons at Starbase 27, an old Med-Academy roommate of mine, which is | |||
neither here nor there. Anyway I just happened to mention that Mr. Maxwell | |||
appeared to have what seemed to me a case of Andronesian Encephalitis. | |||
Well wouldn't you know it he agreed with me and has quarantined our young | |||
friend." | |||
Corbett saw the Captains face and put up a hand. "Oh don't worry I had the | |||
Science Department do a sensor sweep of the ship and she's clean. It's | |||
logged in my official medical report. As for Mr. Maxwell he'll be fine. | |||
The illness is quite harmless and very treatable, but it does lend itself | |||
to delusions and hallucinations. Unfortunate, but anything the man has | |||
seen and done over the last 72 hours is definitely questionable." | |||
Steele tried not to smile at his new doctor. The man was as they had said | |||
very much a character. "Ah huh, well from my end I don't see any evidence | |||
that his allegations were true." Steele said pouring off the rest of the | |||
bottle into their glasses. | |||
"I never had a doubt sar. Good tequila never lasts very long." Corbett | |||
said raising his glass. | |||
"No it never does." Steele agreed. | |||
"On another note I am concerned about what happened today. There was no | |||
excuse for it." Corbett said his voice tinged with anger | |||
"It was an accident." The Captain said not sure where this was going. "In | |||
fact Gar is trying to get to the bottom of it as we speak." | |||
"I wasn't talking about the accident, no one could have foresee such a | |||
thing happening. I'm talking about the trauma team. My medics are good | |||
men, but their response time today was unacceptable." | |||
"I won't second guess you doctor, but it seemed to me they got to | |||
Engineering just a minute or two after we did." | |||
"As far as an emergency is concerned they were late. I don't ever want to | |||
see treatment delayed to any patient on this ship." | |||
"I take it you're going somewhere with this?" Steele asked. | |||
"Yes I am. I've looked over the ship's crew roster and I found that a few | |||
departments have personnel who have qualified as medics. The trouble is | |||
they're not in key departments. I want to cross train personnel from | |||
Engineering, Auxiliary Control, and the Bridge as medics. I want someone | |||
around who can render aid until me, or one of my team gets there. It | |||
could be the difference between life and death for the crew and the ship." | |||
"I agree that it would be useful to have a medic in those departments, go | |||
ahead and start your cross training program as long as it doesn't | |||
interfere with their primary duties. | |||
"That's fair. One other thing before you head out Captain. How much combat | |||
do you think this ship will see?" | |||
"I don't really know. It would be nice to think we will be on peaceful | |||
missions of exploration, but we both know that may not always be the | |||
case." Steele said then chiding him. "Why doctor don't tell me you're | |||
afraid of a little phaser fire." | |||
"Pasers, no." Corbett said shaking his head. "Transporters now that's a | |||
different story entirely." | |||
"So why the combat question?" Steele asked | |||
"After my teams performance today I want to make sure my department and | |||
every department on this ship knows what to do in a mass casualty | |||
situation. I'd like to run a mass casualty drill and usurp some cargo | |||
bay space as a mock triage and holding area." | |||
"Again that's a reasonable request, one we should implement as soon as | |||
possible. I'll let the senior staff know I'm in agreement. However, the | |||
department heads may have some questions for you." Steele replied. | |||
"I welcome the exchange sar. I never want anyone to say I wasn't | |||
thinking about the crew and fell down medically." | |||
"Quite the contrary doctor," Steele said pushing his chair back and | |||
standing. "Medically I've heard you're one of the best and given what | |||
I've seen I have to agree with them; however ethically…" | |||
"Yes, yes I know." Corbett said interrupting him. "My moral character | |||
flaws could be used as a template for the most ruthless of badly behaved | |||
Orions." | |||
"So you know the rumors." Steele said smiling and headed for the door. | |||
"Night doctor and it's good to have you aboard." | |||
"Thank you Captain." Corbett said as the door to his office closed then | |||
added to himself. "I just hope neither of us regrets it." | |||
