It's come to light that someone was in here asking about Ensign T'kel. However it was before he came in. Ensign More thinks Ensign Green is a person of interest. He's requested some hyposprays of an anaesthetic, that these medics here have seemingly authorised." She motioned to the three holding hyposprays.<o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p style='margin:0in'>“Three vials of medication, that didn’t go through me? Those aren’t authorized. Place the hyposprays on the biobed.” Dural ordered. The three medics obeyed the order of their Officer currently in charge.

It is my belief that Ensign T’Kel could be in extreme danger here in sickbay. I understand my calling the wee yellow alert code was extreme. But sir we are dealing with people. Who will happily hurt innocent bystanders to get to their target. I am just trying to protect yer patients sir. I did not mean to alarm ye.” He explained.</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>“That explains the alarm,” Dural admitted, “It was you that triggered it? Why was it that the ranking officer in sickbay, I was not consulted while you were on your way here? If you believed my patients or anyone here were in danger, perhaps a warning? What if this danger made it here before your clandestine approach?”</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>(Reply More)</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>“I’m not finished,” the Cardassian warned. “Your second mistake was attempting to withdraw controlled substances without the order of a physician. There’s a reason for these restrictions. Medical professionals go through a great deal of training and hands on experience to be able to safely administer these medications. What happens if the dose is too high and your suspect stops breathing? The three vials were procured but none of the counter agent. No antihistamine or epinephrine incase of allergy. Do you know if your target is allergic to this medication that you had planned to give? It’s customary to ask before administering, but that would give away your surprise and spoil your trap. Please tell me you haven’t gone digging into their medical file or shall I add that to your list of transgressions?”</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>(Reply More)</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>“This sickbay and everything contained there in is a place of healing, and if I can I shall keep all manner or violence outside of it. This includes you and your security detail at this time. Post outside of it’s entrances and exits. Do your job and keep the violence outside.” Dural said. “While you are out there, if you happen to see Lieutenant Ravok, let him know I’d like to speak to him. I suspect your unplanned alert has him headed this way.”</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>(Reply More)</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>Once the security left the sickbay the Cardassian turned to the medics and the intern. “Come on out.”</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>(Reply Wakeman) </span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>The medics came out. It was times like this where everything could have gone horribly wrong but didn’t, Dural wished he had some kind of higher being to thank for such fortune. He shook his head out of frustration. “ Chut hit’Kjet?” He mumbled too low for the universal translator to pick up.</span><span style='background:white'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='color:black;background:white'>“I didn’t think I’d have to say this, but from this point forward, no medications are taken from storage, replicated or even looked at with out a physician’s say so, and especially not at the behest of someone from outside of the department.
