"Two Doctor's and one Commander"
written by:
Dr. Moreya, Dr. Roan & Cmdr Skyler

         Skyler followed Dr. Moreya as they got off the transporter
platform at Reticulii VII and wondered where they were going. 

       "Doctor," she asked, "are you sure you know where you are going 
and that this is a good idea?

         "I'm positive that I know where I'm going.  Whether it's a 
good idea, is all up to you," she added with a smile.  "Have faith."

         "I lost my faith when Javan sent that letter. You should know
that by now. Besides I just don't think that I am in the mood for whatever
you have planned for me, but you are the doctor," she added doubtfully.

         "If you can't have faith in Javan, then at least try to have
a little faith in me," Moreya suggested.

         "It's just that that is easier said than done, and I know I am
a difficult patient," Skyler said.

         "The more you say that, the more it will be true," Moreya remarked.
"Of course, the opposite is also true."

         Felicity looked down at her map from the greeter ensigns and decided 
this must be the place.  She spotted two women walking toward her, and one 
looked like the Avalon's Commander.  She 
decided to present herself.

         "What do you mean the opposite is also true? I am not the one
who dumped someone after spending all their time trying to help them
recover," Skyler said testily.

         "Excuse me, I'm looking for Dr. Moreya, the Chief Medical Officer.  
Would either of you know where I could locate her?" Felicity fidgeted 
uncomfortably, noting that she had interrupted a private conversation.

         "It seems to me that he should be apologizing to me," Skyler added, 
as she turned toward the new arrival.  "Uh yes, Lt. Dr. Moreya is right here."

         Moreya turned to the young woman.  "I'm Doctor Moreya.  Pleased  to 
meet you, Lieutenant.  What can I do for you?"

         She held out her hand and offered a smile.  "I'm Doctor Felicity 
Roan, the new Counselor.  I was hoping you could show me to my office and we 
could schedule a meeting to discuss the crew."

         Skyler just stood off to the side as the two women continued to 
talk. It was almost as it she no longer existed, which is exactly how she felt 
most of the time.

         Moreya took Felicity's hand in a firm clasp.  "I'd be happy to, 
Counselor. Could we make it in about three hours?  My friend Commander Skyler 
and 
I were going to visit a friend of mine here on the station -- an artist and 
musician.  You'd be welcome to come along, if you wish."

         With a nod of acknowledgment, she confirmed the proposal.

         "Three hours would be fine.  I would welcome some company.  I've 
been here for two days by myself awaiting your arrival."

         Felicity noted the additional pips on Skyler's uniform.

         "Commander....Commander Skyler?  I need to see you for these."  She 
handed over the PADD containing her transfer paperwork.


         "Yes, I am Commander Skyler." Taking the PADD she read the transfer 
papers as they began walking again. "I see that you are the new ship's 
counselor. Welcome aboard."

         Again, offering her hand, Felicity turned to the Commander.

         "Thank you for the welcome.  I look forward to working with you and 
the entire staff of the Avalon."

         "We are grateful to have you join us. We -- or rather some of us -- 
have been in need of your services and it will be good to have you around. 
Have you been a counselor for long?"

         "My last assignment was as Chief Medical Officer, but I've been a 
psychologist for almost a decade.  I'm sorry to hear that you've been without a 
Counselor.  I'm afraid there aren't enough of us in the Fleet to go around at 
times."
