==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Pushing Mother to the Edge==
===by Andy Catterick===
<thought I sent this out yesterday but found it in my drafts...in terms of timelines it should come in line with the sickbay posts and before Jack's visit to Hemux>
SD: 2261.138
Scene: Sickbay
<old>
Jack looked over at his friend and frowned. "Of course not, I've spent the
better part of my adult life trying to live up to the ideals set forth by
Star Fleet."
"Then there is your answer sar. Somewhere along the way Black Jack lost the
ability to keep his baser self in check and let it consume him. You on the
other hand temper yours with restraint and good ole humanity. So my final
argument is just because his pile of chemicals and water are identical to
yours do not make you the same man. However I think somewhere you already
knew that and are just looking for confirmation."
<new>
"I suppose I was."  Jack sighed.  "Its just a hard thing to see.  And it gets you to wondering, what would push a man, would push me, to turn in to that." He shook his head at the thought not wanting to really think about it but being unable to stop.
"Like I said, it would be unnatural not to consider it."
Jack nodded.  "Fair enough.  But look there was an official reason I came to see you and as unpleasant as it will be for some I'm afraid its something that I can't neglect."
Stile frowned at the captain unsure what he meant.  "Ok, go on."
"I'm going to let the Maxwell thing slide, I mean I can't really reprimand you, after I've, uh, sampled the wares as it were.  Doctor you've become a good friend and a trusted advisor over these last months, you've made the job of being captain of this circus that much easier and I want you to know I appreciate that.  But I do have to worry about crew morale and military correctness."  He paused to wave down the remark that was about to spring forth from Corbett.  "I know you're a doctor and in large degree separate from the military aspect of this ship.  But you still are a commissioned officer in Starfleet and must adhere to the rules and regulations of the military code.  As must I.  So, like I've said I'm going to let the contraband slide but I can't allow you to wander the ship and perform your duties when you are not fully compliant with the regs on uniform."
Stile looked back at the captain with a combination of bewilderment and rising anger.  "Surely Sar you can not mean my hat.  I thought we had agreed when I arrived here it  was not to be a problem."
"No, no the hat is fine.  Actually its so much a part of you I forget its even there."
"Then what may I ask is this transgression that can no longer be tolerated.  I assure you I wash and deodorize when ever needed."
Jack pointed.  "Its the sleeves.  You can't be expected to be afforded the courtesy of lieutenant commander when you're still sporting lieutenant stripes.  If you don't rectify that by the end of the watch I'm going to have to put you on report."
Stile stared back in shock until Mother's voice rang out from the other room.  "Oh my God they've promoted him. Saxman get me a phaser I think I'd rather shoot myself then call that man commander!

Congrats Lieutenant Commander Corbett!
Respectfully,
Andy
