Lieutenant Nugent was getting ready for her days work when the door to her quarters chimed. Not expecting anyone, she was a little suprised. "Enter," she called out.
A female lieutenant wearing a blue uniform walked in with two PADDs. It was the Chief Medical officer for SB901.
"Yes Lieutenant, can I help you?"
"Yes, I have just found out that Lieutenant Commander Nevar Pol has been getting a drug to relieve a pain that only is in his mind. And, as the only conselor on board, you'll need to handle this immediately," Doctor Carter said in a sort of demanding voice.
Nugent handled it quite well and was very profesional about it. " I know Docter, I was made aware a few days ago about this. I was planning to report this to Commander Jeffreys to see how he wants to deal with Commander Pol."
Carter gave a look of understanding and handed over a PADD to Lieutenant Nugent. "Here's the facts on the drug that Commander Pol has been taking for who knows how long."
Nugent took the PADD and said, "Thank you," to the doctor as she left. Le''chell went back to prepairing her daily work schedule.
Le'Chell was on the station's bridge and saw that Lieutenant Commander Kelly was on duty going over tactical information with Lieutenant Call. She walked over to the Commander's office and saw him reading a PADD and drinking some tea. She pressed the chime and he replied, "Enter."
Nugent walked in and saw Jeffreys was in a good mood and she almost didn't want to break the news to him. "Come in, Lasie. How are ya doing?" He asked, sensing she was a bit nervous.
"Alright sir, but I'm affraid I've got some bad news, Commander." She paused to see his reaction. Jeffreys leaned back in his chair and a stern look came on his face. He nodded his head as a sign to continue with the news.
"I have evidence and knowledge that Lieutenant Commander Pol is abusing drugs for some sort of relief from his past troubles." She handed him a PADD detailing the report she was making.
"Are you sure that there is no pyhsical reason he uses this drug?"
"Yes, it's used to fight the symptoms of T'Cel's syndrome. In his case it's a mental and physical addiction. It may have started as a way of escaping his problems, but after a while the body needs it because it is used to it. The worst part is that he knows this and simply doesn't care. Doctor Galor caught him getting more of the drug from the Emergency Medical Hologram."
Jeffreys stood up and trew the PADD down. He walked over to the view port, looking at the Priar Patch. "Thank you Lieutenant I'll speak with him ASAP. Then expect him in your office around 1100hrs. You're dismissed."
"Sir, I have to add that what he's doing isn't against regulations or laws. The only way he can be disiplined is if it affects his performance."
Gavin looked at the young women. His eyes scared her a little. "I'm not going to disipline him."
Le'Chell somehome found it inside of her to stare back into Jeffrey's eyes as if to say, "I don't believe you."
Gavin was taken back by the defiance of such a young woman. He smiled and lauphed as he sat back down. "What I meant to say was that I wasn't going ot disipline him as a Starfleet officer. Now, please, head back to your office. You'll have a visitor in thirty minutes.
Well, I've got my work cut out around here.
