*** Sickbay.. USS Chimera *** "Well, its taking shape." Scott Fisher said as he approached from the direction of the surgical centre. Rangi looked around the sickbay,. where they both stood.. and smiled as she met his look. "Yes it is." she agreed."When I first came in here..." He grinned at her. " You're the scourge of Engineering Rangi!" She gave him an exaggerated look of surprise. "And you're CMO" he smiled at her in a kind way."Good choice." "Thankyou." she returned the smile but then, after a moment said seriously "I want things to go right." "What do you mean?" He watched her as she surveyed the sickbay again.She gave him a slightly uncertain smile. "I dont know..."she said slowly "perhaps its better to say 'I dont want things to go wrong!' " "They wont!" She looked away. "Because of......what?... the captain you mean?" he asked "Do you know him?" Rangi shook her head "Not all that well." "Is there a problem?.." Scott asked "No....nothing like that." she met his quizzical expression and smiled at her own confusion, thinking over the fairly 'uneasy' meetings she had had with the Colonel when she first arrived on Aurora and then how he had seemed almost friendly at that unfortunate time when Shane and Rob Richards had come face to face. The fact she had collapsed in a heap at his feet was something she didnt dwell on for long. Scott grinned at her "Well at least you get along ok with the XO dont you?" "He's a..." Too late Rangi bit back her words as she saw Scotts expression realizing that she had risen to his bait. "Oh Rangi...you're a joy!" "What?" she asked pretending not to understand. He grinned at her "I have only to mention that man and you light up like a candle in a dark room!" "No I dont." she said dismissively, feeling herself begin to blush. "Oh yes you do!" Scott teased. Rangi turned away putting her hand to her hot cheeks and took a deep breath. "Can we talk about something else please?" she asked with a smile turning back to him. He gave a slight bow, grinned and offered her the padd he had been holding. "We're up to time on all of this." he said as she began to read."There shouldnt be any problems." Rangi read through the report without comment until she was almost at the end. "If there IS a problem" she explained, glancing up at him.."...then .... I don't want it to be from HERE." "No chance!" he grinned at her. "I mean it!" she replied softening her severe tone with a small smile."I want this department up and running ..everything 'ship shape' ..nothing that will let us down. If there are to be any faults, then they wont be found in sickbay." He nodded, understanding the determination in her voice, imagining how he would feel in her place, "I want to know about anything thats not right, missing,not working." she continued "Anything at all,supplies, equipment..."she pointed to the two non functioning work stations "However large or small..I need to know everything is taken care of ..." she looked up at him, stopped and sighed. "Lecture over." she said giving a faint smile. "Lecture taken 'on board' " he replied stepping in front of her and lightly touching her arm."Seriously,they'll be no faults to find.. "I know."she replied quietly. Scott looked down at the slim figure in front of him and followed her as she went into her office.She took the top one of a pile of eight padds on her desk and handed it to him. "If you will begin checking these I'll join you shortly." she said "Firstly though I'll chase up engineering.....its really not good enough that they take so long to turn up here." "I'm on to it!" he said taking the padd and feeling glad he was a doctor and not an unfortunate unsuspecting engineer."See you later." Rangi smiled as he strode away and turning back to her desk, tapped her combadge "Lt Summers to Chief Bradman" **** End Log **** Ltjg Rangi Summers CMO USS Chimera & Ens Scott Fisher AMO USS Chimera (npc)
