(Vulcan - Botanical Gardens - Counselor Ensign jg Reea - 1907)

Reea was sitting on the bench in the botanical gardens, still deep in thought about what had happened. Before leaving the hospital, she had a chance to talk with Shola. The young Andorian was weak, but she was going to recover. They were able to be together for only a few minutes, so Shola made Reea promise to come see her again before the Illuminar had to leave. Reea was going to keep that promise.

Reea had originally come to Vulcan to determine if there were any insects she could add to her menu. She found several, and she was looking forward to trying them, but after the emergency, her heart wasn't in it anymore. She felt she should return to the Illuminar and spend her time reading, studying, and learning the ship and crew. It was probably best.

The sound of someone approaching, brought Reea out of her reverie. Glancing to her right, she saw Ariel.

"Why didn't you include my efforts to save Shola in the report to the doctors?" said Ariel after sitting next to Reea.

Reea wrinkled her nose, unsure how to react. Was Ariel seeking credit? Did she want recognition? Reea didn't know her well enough to have the answers.

There was an awkward silence as Reea considered the question. Ariel was the senior counselor and assistant CMO. Was this an official, departmental inquiry? Had Reea violated a procedure? Did she not follow an implemented rule? Was she in trouble? It was wise to tread carefully.

"It was an emergency situation," said Reea. "It had already taken too much time to get Shola to the hospital. I gave the doctors the information they needed at the time." She thought about saying it wasn't supposed to be who did what, but she kept that to herself.

"It was my first time with a patient where their life was on the line," said Reea. "If I did something wrong, I apologize."

Reea hoped she was correctly reading the situation.
