===== Captain,s ready room, USS Chimera ===== +TAPS+ Guzman to Corporal Ra'nar. Please join my in my ready room as soon as possible. Ra’nar had just walked though the doors of his new quarters when he heard the call from the new CO. +TAPS+ “Confirmed Comman… Captain, on way.” Shane closed the chanell and took an another sip from his already cold green tea. Today looked like a long day. First Major Birt, then Walsh. Now Shane wanted to speak with Ra'nar and then again with Rodgers. To add pain to injury ... Shane had an appointment with the SSF Commander shortly afterwards ... and that was still his FIRST day on board. Shrugging slightly to himself Shane took up the PADD from Rangi concerning Ra'nar and started to read it again. In fact he did have TWO PADDs concerning Ra'nar but the seconds was short and plain – report from SB 485 about imprisoned Chimera officers. There were no pending charges there but still those guys must have done something to end up the station's brig. Ra’nar knew that it could not be good, he had only ever been called privately report to an officer when he was in trouble, Ra’nar was also well aware that the Starbase must have reported his actions in the bar. The Last time he was caught fighting, he was given two weeks duty cleaning the mess hall. Ra’nar approached the door, checked over his uniform one more time to make sure it was perfect then buzzed the for entrance to the ready room. Shane looked up from his PADD and said aloud: "Come in!" and watched the unfamiliar look of an Cardassian in marine green entering the room. Ra’nar marched in and stood to attention in front of the desk, without saying a word. Shane nodded and said: "At ease Corporal" He motioned with his hand to the empty chair in front of the desk and said: "Please sit down, anything to drink?" Ra’nar was alittle caught off guard, “mmmm… Water is fine, thank you Sir.” Ra’nar said as he sat down. Shane went over to the replicator and replicated Ra'nar his drink and for himself an another cup of green tea. Placing the cup in front of Ra'nar, Shane returned to his desk and took up two PADDs from his PADD-heap. He was still silent and only after handing one PADD to Ra'nar he asked: "Do you mind explaning me this Corporal?". It was the PADD with the arrestment report. “Sir? I was mearly protecting a fellow comrade. I saw that the cadet from the Gott was being attacked and in the sprit of the Chimera I intervened, Sir.” Ra’nar stayed cool and calm on the outside, inside he was not quite as calm, {someone shoot me through the head.} Shane raised en eyebrow ... a tick he's got from Oriana. "Protected?" he asked, "you call a broken leg protection?" “Sir that is just not true, I broke his arm. The cadet broke his leg, sir.” Said ra’nar trying not to cringe at how bad it sounded. "So a broken leg AND a broken arm, thats nice" Shane said still looking at the Cardasian in front of him. Shane was not fond about talks like this one, but every crewman had to learn to take full responsibility for his deeds. "I understand that you know your behaviour wasnt a proper one" Shane stated calmly. “Sir I accept full reasonability for my actions and the consequences of those actions.” Ra’nar knew it was going to be bad, {please not waste disposal}. Shane would smile if he didnt want to keep this conversation being interesting. A great plus for Ra'nar was the fact that he didnt try to lie to him or to avoid responsibility. "We will come to the responsibility Mr. Ra'nar later" he said and handed Ra'nar the other PADD where Rangi was commenting Ra'nar's medical work during the last mission very highly. "What can you say me about this one ?" he asked. Ra’nar looked at the Padd, “Sir, I helped Commander Summers out in Sickbay on the last mission. Transferring the injured and assisting her and Lieutenant Hawk in producing the X’chi Antidote, Sir” Shane crossed his arms on his chest and did his best to maintain a neutral face: "And now please tell me how a bar brawling buddy can get such high commendations from the former CMO? Am I missing something here Corporal?" “Sir, I do not believe you are missing anything. I am a good Doctor but I am also a fine Marine, one does not cancel out the other. As for A bar brawling ‘Buddy,’ I still believe I would have done the same thing as anyone else on this ship and help an officer in trouble. I may have gone about it completely the wrong way but, I accept fall reasonability for that Sir.” Ra’nar sat and waited for what the Commander was going to say. Looking down at the heap of other PADDs on his table, Shane pretended to think about Ra'nar's fate. Then he looked up at Ra'nar again and said: "I have no other choice then to transfer you off the ODA Corporal ... do you have any preffered place elewhere on the ship?" Ra’nar Shocked, transfer off the ODA? He had just started proving himself as a Medical specialist. “Sir??” Ra’nar thought for a moment, “I am a registered Doctor and a qualified pilot, any positions in Sickbay or the Shuttle bay will be fine Sir.” Said Ra’nar stilled shocked. Shane sook his head lice considering the idea: "Well, we do hava two shiney new assault shuttles and too less qualified pilots, but ..." he paused for a moment to look at the shocked Cardasian ... "I think you could be of more use in the sickay." Shane retirned to his table and from his (already exhausted) store he;s got a velvet box: "As from today, I am promoting you to the rank of Warrant officer and Chief medical officer" he said and alomost grinned at ra'nar who looked like seeing a big ice cream dancing some techno ... Shane went back to Ra'nar and replaced his Lance Corporal ensignia for the single hollow pip of an Warrant officer. "Congratulations Warrant officer" he said, "I hope you will continue with your excellent performance in sickbay and will confirm the very high meaning Commander Summers has about you." Shane smiled and added: "I suggest you meet with Commander Summers and discuss with her your first steps as Chief medical officer to make the change smooth as possible. I'll inform Major Walsh about your ....new status. Dismissed!" ===== End of log ===== Warrant officer Ra'nar CMO USS Chimera-A & Cmdr. Shane Guzman CO USS Chimera-A
