<USS Avalon> "Georgia and Changes" Georgia Lewis

"Georgia and Changes"
written by:
Georgia Lewis, Chief Nurse

         Georgia wasn't one who used to change of any kind. Change did 
nothing but cause difficulty in the way things were done. Everyone who was 
doing 
things one thing one way had to change to do it in another way. All it did was 
create mass confusion.

         She hadn't really had a chance yet to work with Dr. Roan, but with 
every new person there was bound to be something done differently. It was 
almost a certainty. She especially didn't like change right in the middle of 
mission where people were suffering from radiation sickness and the crew could 
possibly be exposed to this same sickness. Yet even years from when it was 
originally written she was bound by the nurse's oath to help and serve those 
who are 
injured or in need of help.

         Georgia put away her thoughts of change and began work on the 
antidote to the radiation sickness. She was going to have to develop enough 
antidote 
and inoculations to inoculate the entire crew. There again she knew the crew 
was not going to be at all happy about receiving a shot just to go on a rescue 
mission. But as usual it was her job and she was bound to do it.

         She had enough inoculations ready to go and inoculate the bridge 
crew. She informed Dr. Roan and Dr. Rashon that she was going to the bridge and 
inoculate the crew. She grabbed her bag that was full of hypo's and additional 
vials of inoculations. She left sickbay and went to the nearest lift and told 
it to take her to the bridge. She leaned against the wall and waited. Perhaps 
she would get a chance to talk to Cmdr Skyler.

         The lift opened onto the bridge, and Georgia walked out. As she 
entered the bridge she looked around and saw that Cmdr Skyler was sitting in 
her 
usual spot, while Waterson was at helm and her counterpart was at helm. 

         She walked up to Skyler and informed her that she was there to 
inoculate the bridge crew.
         
         "Cmdr, I need to inoculate the bridge crew against the radiation 
sickness before they go aboard the Allegiance and attempt a rescue. With your 
permission I would like to begin the inoculations Ma'am."

         Skyler looked at Georgia with a bit of surprise. She usually did not 
act so formal. She wondered what was going on with her.

         "Permission Granted, Ms Lewis and when you are done I would like to 
speak with you in my office. You can begin your inoculations with me. Someone 
has to show these people that there is nothing to be afraid of."

         Skyler presented her arm to Georgia and listened as the whoosh of 
the hypo as the medicine was injected into her arm. 

         "Thank you Ms Georgia, as I said I would like to see you in my 
office after you are done."

         "Yes, Sir, Cmdr Skyler. I will report to your office soon. This 
won't take long."

         Georgia continued her rounds on the bridge and inoculated the bridge 
crew, including Waterson, Sierra, Karg, and the Captain as well. Once she was 
done she packed up her bag and then reported to Cmdr Skyler's office.
