Genkos shook his head and held up his hands in a placative gesture. She had asked about Richards’ behaviour and he had told her - it wasn’t his fault if the answer wasn’t the best.
Adea: I’m not so worried about the theft - more about the judgement of an officer who would hide that from those around him, putting them in possible danger… I don’t want to make an official thing out of it, but perhaps you could have a word with him. ::he let out an easy laugh:: Something to do whilst you wait for sexual activity to be back on the table… or whatever you guys use on the Amity.
Robin’s eyelids fluttered in bewildered amusement.
Hopper: ::Amused grimace:: Careful, doctor, you’re going to make me laugh. I don’t think that’s permitted right now either.
Genkos gave her a look with pursed lips and a wagging finger.
Adea: I’m the doctor here, and I say laughter is the best medicine. Or at least humans say that, but then they used to use leeches so…
He trailed off as Hopper turned back to more serious topics.
Hopper: Meanwhile, I’ll assign him to you to do whatever you want with him. Put him to work scrubbing your deck, or cleaning out the holodeck biofilters – wherever you need a spare engineer. Or just a goon. I think that’s the least he can do to make up for his transgressions.
Adea: Indeed. Well, I have other patients, unless there’s anything else..?
She took a moment, seeming to build up to something.
Hopper: I know you must be used to this sort of thing by now – but I know that what you did saved my life. “Thank you” doesn’t really feel sufficient. Just know that I won’t take this second chance lightly.
Genkos smiled at her and placed a hand lightly on her shoulder for a second.
Adea: You’re very welcome… and if you squander it, remember I know where you live.
And with that, and a cheerful wink, he continued on his rounds.

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
