Ensign Jaran Jira - The Boot Thinks Naught Of The Ant
Jira Jaran
((Sickbay, Deck 7- USS Artemis))
Sickbay was quiet. Too quiet. Which is why someone sneaking around near Doctor Morgan's office caught Jira's attention. Then the figure ducked in, and Jira's curiosity got the better of them.
oO Samantha Richards. What are you up to? Oo
Sam was so involved in her work that she didn't even hear Jira come up to the doorway. She was, apparently, placing... rocks? around the CMO's office. For some reason. She seemed pretty pleased with herself, too. But protocol was protocol, and something had to be said.
Jaran: You are definitely not supposed to be in here, you know.
Richards: Ahh! ::Placing her hand on her chest:: Sorry… You scared me.
Sam was flushed, and her face spoke volumes.
Jaran: I suppose I should ask what you're doing in here...
Richards: Me? ::Pointing to herself:: What am I? ::Gesturing around:: Doing in here? ::Putting her hands on her hips:: That is an excellent question…
Prolonged eye contact from the scientist. That was awkward. But Jira waited for her to answer the question she had asked herself.
Richards: I- I was uhm… Looking for you! ::Nodding:: Yeah. Looking for you. I need a checkup. Just a quick one. Doctor Bancroft deserves a bit of a break from me, so I came to find you.
Jaran: Oh? Are you experiencing any discomfort? That Tricillian flu still hasn't completely died out, you know. Perhaps I should put you in quarantine and run some tests.
Her face gave up all hope.
Richards: Okay… This is going to sound silly, but I am… hiding… rocks. ::pointing to the one stuck to the bulkhead:: You’re not a tattletale are you?
Jaran: Tattletale? How old are you again? Anyway, I expect Dr. Morgan would be as irritated at me as he would be with you if I told him.
The good doctor seemed like he was about one incident away from a meltdown. Jira would hate to be the one in sickbay when he showed up for this new non-consensual collection. Which brought up a good point
Jaran: You know this is probably not going to end well, right?
Richards: Response
Jaran: All well and good. But I'm curious what your end game here is.
Jira wasn't a psychologist or counselor. But this couldn't be healthy for anyone involved, especially those under Dr. Morgan. Like, well, Jira.
Richards: Response
Jaran: Fine. You may as well finish your... work. I can see that you're pretty invested. Just... remember us little people.
Jira was content to leave that at that and walk out of the CMO's office, but that's when the door opened behind them.
oO Oh no. Oh no... Oo
Richards: Response
TAG/TBC!
