Lieutenant JG Talia Ohnari ~ Promises, promises.

[Roxanna Dorion]

((Deck 1, Captain’s Ready Room, USS Arrow))

Talia was not in trouble. She was just called into the Captain's ready room to do her job, which was less panic inducing. Therefore, she was stress and haggis free. 

Shayne: Was it random? Do we need to worry about whatever this is spreading around the rest of the ship?

Entirely fair question. Some infections or diseases could be spread in various ways, including via brain waves. Zanthi fever was a perfect example. Although that mostly had an unfortunate side effect of awkward conversations and ruined relationships in its wake. This was much more terrifying. 

Ohnari: From an endemic standpoint, we have nothing to be concerned about. This was not a pathogen, not in the usual sense. But I do believe Ensign Berry is going to be extremely busy over the next few days....

Shayne: Hell of a way to start a career.

The man was not wrong. Her emphatic nod further confirmed the point. 

Shayne: And you? What’s your status, doctor?

Exhausted, and feeling slightly like a lightly charred brisket. The faint echo of the searing pain was still hovering around her psyche.But not something she could easily describe, without sounding like she herself was in need of Ensign Berry's expertise.    

Ohnari: I am...::well, ok wasn't the right word:: Steady. 

Steady was good. She could go with that. Plus, she had a wonderful team. She was just incredibly stubborn and had to be forced by them to rest. Which is where her next stop was: Bed. 

Shayne: How long’s it been since you’ve had a break? oO Put me in reins and call me a nag… Oo

Ohnari: Uh....Monday?

It was not Monday. In fact, it was closer to the next Monday than not. It seemed she should have been a little less transparent as the Captain had to fight with his coffee for the right to breathe. 

Shayne: How long?

The Haliian tried the universal sign of "Please don't fire me" with both hands held aloft. 

Ohnari: I know, I know. Do not worry I've already been ordered to my bed on threat of a medically induced coma for my own good. ::grinning:: My people are incredibly savage, it's wonderful. ::grimacing:: Although not so much when they gang up on me....

Especially when Ra did that eyebrow thing, it could be downright terrifying. 

She gave the Captain a sympathetic look, because she was absolutely certain she would be doing the same thing to him some day. Also for his own wellbeing. And he'd handle it just as well as she was. But, the briefing being...well, brief, since there was no imminent danger, promises to rest and actually enjoy Shoreleave promised, Talia bade farewell to the Commander In Ready Room, heading for her own room, filled with pajamas and bat snuggles. 

END!
