Sickbay

Teilani looked at major Madriani and his daughter both still sitting together on the biobed. She decided to keep the little girl in sickbay for a night just to be on the save side.

"Excuse me Doctor, Adam asked.

"Yes Adam what is it," Teilani responded. "I would like to lodge a complained against the Major Ma'am, Adam replied.

Teilani's face became serious. "Come into my office and close the door. Are you sure Adam, " she asked.

Adam followed her into her office. "Yes Ma'am, he had no reason to overreact in such a way. Marines think that they rule the world and what else more."

"You do understand that I will have to talk to him about it which might result in him getting a reprimand in his file."

"Yes Ma'am, Adam responded. "I have had enough of being pushed around by

them Marines. Not only today but also during the mission. We had difficulty of doing our job. Look he gave me a black eye and he bruised Nelson's ribs."

"Look he was only concerned for his daughter."

"I know doctor but even Marines and especially a MCO should learn to control himself." Adam continued.

"Very well then, Teilani said. "I will talk to the Major about this. Thank you Adam".

He nodded and headed back to his post. Teilani sighed filing an official reprimand was never easy. But in a way Adam was right, the Major had overreacted. On the other hand Teilani knew enough about the Major knowing thathis daughter meant everything to him. But she also was responsible for her own personnel so this was unavoidable.

Teilani stood up and walked back to the main sickbay. "Major, may I have aword with you please?"

Teilani walked back to her office, looking if the major was following. "Please Major sit down."

"Very well, doctor. What is on your mind?" Ryan asked. He didn't feel happy about having to leave Alice.

"Major I have a question for you", Teilani asked. "If you and your team are on a mission and you notice that one of your crew is ... how shall I say misbehaving himself, what do you do?"

"Depends." Ryan said. "most likely I will have him lectured by his squad CO or XO, or just make a note of it and have him notified of it. If its serious I will do it myself."

"So basically you say that you point out what he has done wrong and makes sure that that will not happen again. Even if you have to make a notation into this crewmembers personal file?"

"Basically yes." Ryan said calm.

"Major would you say that you respect people?" "Respect them for what theyare and how they act during their duties?"

"Normally I do." Ryan said. He didn't like the tone of this conversation. "What are you leading to Doctor."

"Then let me ask you this Major, why did you assault my crew?" Teilani raised her hand, let me finish Major. I realize that your daughter means the world to you. She is al you have. But you must also realize that as long as I am CMO sickbay is my domain. I will do everything in my power to make sure that patients are being cured, whether they are personal family or Zion crew. I will not ever allow fighting in sickbay."

"You as being a Marine commander should be able to control yourself and not act like a raving lunatic."

"Doctor you ordered those men to hold me down. They did not succeed. I did not think, that is not something you do in such a case. You act on instinct, they where in my way, I need them out of it. So I removed them." Ryan explained calmly. "Now that is a professional hazard for them. I would have thought they where prepared for such a situation."

They were prepared Major but you did not need to act so violently, we are not your enemy. Next time Major I will not be so tolerate and I will report you to Commander Wright. Now please do me a favour and apologize to my crew," Teilani said.

Ryan thought about it for a moment. He smiled "I can not do that." He raised his hand to silence her. "I did not do anything they weren't ready for if they had done their jobs. Now I'm sure they fine nurses, but then they should stick to it and stayed out of my way." Ryan was serious. "However for the sake of reason I am prepared to make a gesture." Ryan thought about it. "I don't know what kind of a gesture but I'm sure they will think of something."

"Just apologize to them Major, Teilani asked.

"No doctor, that's the only thing I won't do. If they want an apology they will have to come to me in person." He stood up. "O yes," Ryan added "I would appreciate it they talked to ME, when they have a problem with ME. I can be very reasonable. So THEY must come to me with their request for an apology" He took a breath "Good day dr. sorry if I make your life a living hell." Ryan nodded and walked back to his daughter.

Teilani sighed. "Major, she mumbled, you do not even know what a living hell is". Then she walked up to Alice and her father again. "Would you please move to the side Major Madriani, she said with a voice cold as ice. "Then I can do my job".
