<USS Avalon> Fun for us, not for them Junior Lieutenant Mehdi Idrys

"Fun for us, not for them"
by Junior Lieutenant Mehdi Idrys
 
    "Good morning, Gaylia. Good morning, Rupa. How are  you both this 
morning?"
 
    "My, my, you seem awfully chipper, Doctor. I'm  fine. We both are. What 
gives?"
 
    "I received some news is what, Gaylia. Some news I  thought I ought to 
share with both of you because it's relevant to all of us and  I think it'll 
cheer you both up the way it did me."
 
    "Well? Tell already," said Nurse Lakshmi.
 
    "Well, Rupa, you know how it's been a tad slow down  here in Medical as 
of late ..."
 
    "Mmm - hmm ..."
 
    "And both of you have been developing a case of  cabin fever while on 
duty ..."
 
    "Both of us? Doc, you've complained of exactly the  same thing!" cried 
Nurse Brandt in an accusatory tone. "I think the damn thing's  contagious and 
we 
ought to diagnose whatever bug it is."
 
    Idrys nodded. "I know. Same ol' same ol', with  inventory and the like. 
Boring. Well, ladies, the boredom's about to end."
 
    Lakshmi and Brandt looked at one another with an  expression that was a 
cross between dubiousness and suspicion.
 
    "We're about to get out of the humdrum routine for  once and take a 
wonderful walk."
 
    Brandt rolled her eyes. "For crying out loud,  Mehdi, TELL US what it IS!"
 
    Idrys paused for a moment, smiling mischievously.  He continued quietly, 
"We've just gotten orders to give physicals to the entire  crew. Everybody."
 
    Brandt's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped while  Lakshmi choked hard on 
her tea, spewing a few drops on Idrys's neat uniform.  Brandt patted her on 
the back.
 
    "Everybody?" Lakshmi managed to ask as soon as she  found her voice.
 
    Idrys handed them a PADD. "See for yourselves,  ladies. Our liberation is 
at hand. Soon we begin our grand tour of the Avalon."  He turned and headed 
to his work station. "See you soon ... be sure to bring  your instruments of 
destruction with you!"
 
    "Oh, we will, we will!" responded Brandt, as she  and Lakshmi collapsed 
in one another's arms, engulfed in laughter.
 
    "Fun for us, not for them, Gaylia! I love it!"  cried Lakshmi.
 
    "I know, Rupa. Oh, how I know. ..."
