<USS Avalon> "A Headache...And A New Doctor" Skyler, Brookman, and Cazook

A Headache... And A New Doctor

by Commander Skyler, Doctor Brookman, and Doctor Cazook

Alexis took the final readings of Skyler into her cubicle of an office and 
went over them one more time. Thinking out loud she thought, "these just don't 
look right, I better get Dr. Brookman down here before she up and takes off 
again.

"Dr. Brookman this is Alexis Cazook. I have an interesting case that I think 
you would be interested in taking a look at, and you might not want to waste a 
minute getting here. It is Commander Skyler and you know how skittish she can 
be."

Brookman looked at Skyler, "ah yes, Ms. Skyler what seems to be the problem 
today? I heard you're having some headaches," he chuckled, "well well, not too 
worry, I'm sure we can get this resolved. Please give me a moment." Brookman 
took a tricorder out of his pocket, examining the Commander. "Hmm, you seem to 
have..." Brookman went silent with a frown, "you are a psi, Ms. Skyler?"

"I am part Betazoid if that is what you mean, then yes I am psi. That 
shouldn't be a problem should it?"

Dr. Cazook looked at Dr. Brookman with a strange look. She wondered what was 
going through that brilliant yet obscure mind of his. Being part Betazoid 
shouldn't have caused a problem with the mind wipe should it, but then again 
she 
merely an assistant.

Brookman frowned, "My dear, I'm sorry for the slight mistake, I shall have 
this remedied right now." Brookman took a hypospray, "I'm aware you have a 
medical background, Ms. Skyler, so simply put this will put your headache at 
ease 
almost immediately. Do try to have an early rest, the drug does have some sleep 
inhibitors to allow the brain- in it's eternal knowledge," Brookman smiled 
pleasantly, "to get the rest of the job done- that is, you will never 
experience 
the pain any longer." Brookman watched as the commander hesitantly nodded, he 
smiled as he applied the medicine.

"Just what exactly do you plan to do to me this time," Skyler inquired. Once 
was enough. She didn't relish the thought of more machines playing around in 
her head especially now that there were two strange Dr.'s doing the messing 
around. This Cazook was almost as strange as Brookman. "How long is this going 
to 
take? I have to catch the Avalon when she arrives."

Dr. Cazook looked at Skyler. "Don't worry Commander you won't miss your ride 
especially since I will be joining you."

Brookman ignored her hastiness, "rest assured, this is the last procedure- 
the only thing- since your concerns of this headache. And like Ms. Cazook said, 
she will be joining you. So, we won't do anything barbaric. You're a free to 
go. Now if you like." Brookman smiled.

Skyler looked at both Dr. Brookman and Dr. Cazook and slowly got up to leave 
half expecting one of them to grab her and make her stay. "Well, Dr. Cazook I 
will look forward to seeing you on the Avalon then. As for you Dr. Brookman 
its been...different ...we shall leave it at that."

Brookman chuckled, "My dear, you resonate with uptightness. Have no worry, 
I'm an old man with no dark secrets or plots. But as you say it's been 
different. I hope we meet again under better circumstances. Now if you both 
will excuse 
me." Brookman nodded, but then stopped, "Oh, Ms. Cazook, just to double check 
you do have your orders, do you not?" 

Skyler simply nodded once more, "Doctors." And quickly left the infirmary. 
The headache was wearing off- tension lessening a little, and she felt a little 
better. Out of the room with two weird doctors- and one of them on the Avalon.

Dr. Cazook scrounged around in her pockets for a few seconds and pulled out a 
wad of paper. "Yes, Dr. Brookman they are right here. I am to report to the 
Avalon when it arrives to pick up Commander Skyler. I am not to interfere in 
the day to day medical activities but rather keep an eye on those who have 
undergone the mind wipe procedure and keep in regular contact with you." She 
reread 
them again, "Yep that's them all right."

Brookman smiled, "good, good. Have a pleasant stay at the Avalon, Alexis, 
it's a fine ship." Brookman nodded one more time and left.
