[Paradise-IV] 970403.12 PL Cmdr Blake

[Paradise-IV Logs]

The last few days had been long hard ones for Cait. Toby had to take command of the Tremaine and they were both in agreement that Rose should be off the planet as soon as possible. That meant that Toby had to pack for him and Rose and Cait would have to get the rest of their belongings together for transport to the new posting.  Packing was the least of things she had to do. Reports and recommendations had to be sent to Vin, Kat would need to be brought up to speed on all the pies Cait’s fingers were in so she could hold the fort together until a new CMO was assigned to Paradise IV. Hardest of all were the good byes she had to make. It wouldn’t be easy but she’d do them. It had always felt wrong when those she cared about just transferred and didn’t say a word before to her before they left. The reasons were understood but she’d had warning.

 

In the back of their closet, she found the stuffed dragon being ridden by a red hair pixie doll that someone who remained Nameless (Toby) had surprised her with it..at a time when she really needed it. There was a certain amount of guilt involved in the transfer. She’d just started to garner trust from those who came to the Free Clinic and there was a small change in how they felt about Starfleet. All she could hope is that the clinics would continue and be run with the same compassion and excellence that she expected. One more trip about the old quarters and she was certain she had every thing. Jewel was insisting that she sit on Cait’s shoulder and the doc was currently being throttled by the lizard’s tail. A call was made to Security and arrangements for getting the rest of the stuff up to the Tremaine were settled and then Cait went off to finish business that needed finishing.

 

[Several hours later….]

Everything was done and Cait made her way to the transporter. As she walked along with Jewel in her carrier, she noted the faces of those she passed and was suddenly very very glad that in a few minutes she’d be on the Tremaine and away from the hostility and terror that was directed towards her . Finally she stepped up on the transporter pad and nodded to the officer in charge that afternoon. Once cleared, she dissolved into light and rematerialized in the transporter room. A glance about, then her attention was drawn to the transporter tech. “Doctor Blake reporting for duty.”

 

This was it! She was finally off that frozen excuse for a planet. One day it might be a paradise, but currently…it was a hell hole and now they were off it.

 

The operations Officer nodded and gave Cait the location of her quarters with Toby. “Welcome aboard Ma’am….”
