<USS Avalon> "On The Warpath" Captain Lewis, Lt Skyler

"On The Warpath"
Captain Georgia Lewis, Lt. Skyler
 
Georgia had left security armed with her phaser and phaser rifle will all  
intents of going to the bridge to make sure that the bridge staff was armed, 
but 
 midway she turned and reversed course to make her way to sickbay. She wanted 
to  make sure that they were armed as they were the ones who never managed to 
arm  themselves and were most likely to be the ones who would get caught. 
First  sickbay and then engineering. She couldn't figure out why those two 
departments  thought that they were invulnerable but it was her job to make 
sure 
that  they were not caught with their pants down.
 
She entered the turbolift and ordered it to take her to deck 5. She paced  
around in the lift impatiently waiting to reach her destination. Finally after  
what seemed forever the lift stopped and allowed her to exit. She exited and  
made her way to sickbay where she found Lt. Skyler and the rest of the 
Doctor's  basically doing nothing as usual. Why they just waited for something 
to 
happen  she would never know.
 
"Lt. Skyler, we are under Red Alert Status. That means that you should be  
prepared and not just standing around."
 
"Excuse me Captain Lewis, but we are not standing around, as you suggest.  We 
have set up our triage areas and have prepared sickbay for any incoming  
wounded. We have done exactly as we are supposed to do." Skyler glared at the  
Captain. She wanted to say something more but knew better. Captain Lewis had  
developed a reputation and Skyler did not want to be on her bad side unless  
absolutely necessary.
 
Georgia looked around and then looked back at Skyler. "There seems to be a  
problem with your procedures Lt. I notice that none of you are armed. It is a  
good thing that I have come to rectify that problem."
 
"Captain, this is a sickbay. We do not carry weapons in this department.  
There is no need for them here. We are in the business of healing the injured  
and ill. The injured are most likely injured from the weapons that you insist 
we 
 carry and I will be no part of that. I demand that you leave this sickbay  
immediately and take your weapons with you."
 
Georgia looked at Skyler, and if looks could kill Skyler would be dead in a  
second. "Lt. Skyler, you are disobeying a direct order which is 
insubordination  and punishable by incarceration in the brig. Unfortunately, 
since you are 
needed  in your capacity as Chief Medical Officer I am going to over look it 
this time.  I am instead, going to leave a security officer here to make sure 
that you and  your staff follow my orders to the letter. You will be armed or 
you will find  yourself in the brig."
 
Georgia and Skyler continued to stare at each other with neither backing  
down. It appeared to be a test of wills that would never end. That is until the 
 
ship was rocked by a shot from another vessel.
 
"Ensign K'etrall, you are to stand guard here, as well as hand out weapons  
to all personnel in this department. I am going to the bridge and make sure 
that  they are armed and able to handle themselves in a crisis." Looking at 
Skyler  again Georgia remarked rather snidely, "That includes your snippy 
little 
sister  as well. Ensign, you have your orders."
 
Turning smartly on her feet Georgia left K'etrall in sickbay to deal with  
Skyler and crew, while she went to the bridge to deal with them.
