<USS Avalon> "Better Times" Lt Skyler with guest appearance by Ensign Manson

"Better Times"
Lt. Skyler with guest appearance by Ensign Manson
 
 
The red alert klaxon's finally shut off so sickbay was quiet and they had  
received no injuries. Skyler was at least grateful for that much, at least now  
she could put away the phaser's that Captain Lewis had insisted that everyone  
carry. Just once she wanted to put that woman, if that's what you could 
really  call her, in a stasis chamber and leave her there for several hours and 
do 
some  kind of torture. Unfortunately Skyler wasn't that kind of person, unlike 
her  sister. She could not believe how nasty and mean her sister had become. 
She  could remember a time when they were both good natured but something had 
changed  that. Soliel was down right bitchy to people, not to mention 
possessive. Skyler  had a temper and expected things to be done a certain way 
and did 
not tolerate  incompetence but not to the extent that Soliel did. However if 
Soliel wanted to  run her department that way that was her business as long as 
it didn't affect  Skyler and the way she ran sickbay she could live with it. 
When it was  just the two of them, she was a totally different person. Now was 
not the  time to dwell on it, she had a sickbay to manage and to get going the 
way she  wanted it to be.
 
Walking into her office she sat down behind her desk and began going over  
the personnel files. Granted they were in the middle of a war but that didn't  
mean that people could skip out on their annual physical exams, which is 
exactly  what the majority of the crew were going to try and do. She was not 
looking 
 forward to giving Captain Lewis her physical, perhaps she would leave that 
to  Ensign Manson. Yes, that is exactly what she would do, she would let him 
deal  with the bitch. After going over several different reports Skyler was 
growing  weary of looking at PADD's and reports. She decided it was time to 
leave 
Sickbay  and return to her own quarters and hopefully get some relaxation in 
before the  next round of attacks began.
 
She walked out of her office and looked around finally finding Mr. Manson.  
"Mr. Manson, I am leaving for a while and leaving you in charge of sickbay.  
Please try not to destroy it or the equipment in it."
 
Manson smirked at the thought as he brushed  past her. The last time, half of 
all medical remedies were unavailable due to  his 'lack' of maintaining a 
well ordered sickbay. She knew it was more of the  fact he didn't care. As a 
Second Officer demoted to Ensign, was it any wonder  why he was grumpy?
 
With that said she left sickbay and made her way to her quarters which  
happen to be on the same deck as sickbay. Once inside the privacy of her own  
quarters she locked the doors and removed her uniform and ran herself a bath.  
Stepping into the hot water she could feel the tension of the day begin to flow 
 
out of her body. She laid her head back on the back of the tub and in a few  
minutes was fast asleep, dreaming of better times with better  people.
