There seemed to be no ending to the stack of reports Teilani had to write or approve, not only keeping their patients medical history up to date but also she needed to send a report to the Captain on the two individuals still occupying her sickbay.

"Computer: log the following report":

CONFIDENTIAL

CMO's Report : Dr Dane's Dogs of War

Submitted to: Captain Ian Hunter

Upon first examination of the last group of the USS Eagle which were rescued by the Zion in appeared that all those beamed on board were normal civilians, their injuries consisted mainly of phaserburns and broken bones. Few patients still remain in sickbay but I am confident that they will be released in the next few days.

Unfortunately during a closer medical examination of two individuals I recognised them as having been on board of the USS Kittyhawk. They have been denying of ever having been there. But I am 100 percent sure that they were part of it. Both individuals were part of the boarding party and there for guilty to the atrocities committed during said attack. If need be I will testify to this before a court of justice.

I have take the liberty to take a DNA sample and run this through our database in order to determine their real identity, unfortunately no records seem to be available. Their current names are unknown to any records we have on file, and therefore might be false. I have no idea how they ended up on the Eagle as they refuse to give a explanation.

Their injuries are minor and I have asked security to escort them to their quarters and have them confined there due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding them.

"Computer save report and sent a copy to Captain Ian Hunter".

"Acknowledge, report saved and sent, the reply came back".

She leant back in her chair looking around in her empty office, suddenly struck by the lack of any thing personal or at least something colourful, when suddenly she was interrupted by a loud voices coming from one of the bio beds.

It appeared that one of her patients was having an argument with his wife and some of the other visitors. Teilani could not hear what the discussion was but she was getting annoyed by it. This was nor the place nor the time for bickering.

Teilani a doctor first and a Maqui Officer second and she wasn't used to being the voice of reason in the crowd, that's why she wasn't a CMO for heaven's sake, she glanced around the crowded, noisy Sickbay. Not only was she the voice of reason but she was also the only medical doctor on her feet and after this she was planning to have a complete nervous breakdown that was for sure.

She had tried to be nice and had allowed her patients to receive visitors but this was getting absurd, she tried get these people out of here quietly but apparently quietly wasn't going to work today.

There were patients that needed her and she was tired of stepping over people to get there who weren't injured so she put his fingers in her mouth and whistled long and hard until everyone was quiet and looking at her, at least those that were conscious and she raised his voice to be heard and emphasize, "OK I HAVE TRIED TO BE NICE HERE BUT THE FACT IS THAT MOST OF YOU PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY REASON FOR BEING HERE. IF YOU AREN'T BLEEDING OR BROKEN GET YOUR ASS OUT OF MY SICKBAY" she said and hollered the last part pausing only long enough to clear her throat, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR RANK OR POSITION IS BUT THE UNINJURED ARE INTERFERRING WITH MY TREATING THOSE THAT NEED IT, SO IF YOU CAN WALK AND AREN'T HURT GET OUT. THANK YOU AND HAVE A PLEASANT DAY" she said sarcastically, placing her hands on her hips and eyes shooting like lightning.

The day had started so good, but this little incident had spoiled her mood. Teilani walked over to the replicator, "Hot coffee, Jamaican blend, double strong, double sweet.
