Posted on Thu Feb 27th, 2020 @ 5:25pm by Fleet Captain Torilla Yamaguchi & Commodore Siaxx "Bluemoon" Dvald-Vaxx MD

Mission: Mission 23: Foundations of Stone
Location: Various Locations - USS Roanoke
Timeline: 1330Hrs - January 24th, 2391

Lt Commander Siaxx Dvald looked out over the top of the mountain crag as a sigh escaped her lips, the weather was cold as she watched her breathe cool rapidly as it frosted over.

"Far over.. the Misty mountains cold.." Siaxx said softly as she heard the computer beep at her. "Commander Yamaguchi is requesting access.... should I permit her?." the ships computer inquired.

"Yes... Let her in.." Dvald responded quietly.

What she wasn't expecting is what happened next.

"I swear, once you let me go, I will kick you so hard in the knees you'll regret fucking with me," Zara hollered, from being hung of Torilla's shoulders.

Torilla growled. "If you talked to her... then I wouldn't need to resort to shit like this." Yamaguchi growled angrily. "Seriously... you are worse then Elizabeth." and with that Yamaguchi gently let her down then she backed up a few yards. "Hit me and I'll make you regret being born..." there was no mistaking the rage in Torilla's voice as anything else.

Siaxx watched in silence. "Zara." she barked. "I'm Sorry..." she commented quietly.

Zara took one huge step back from Siaxx, and looked skeptically from Siaxx, to Torilla. Then she looked back to Siaxx.

"Ah," Tane finally spoke. It was the only word she could muster.

Siaxx let out a soft sigh. "I'm Sorry Zara.... for everything..." as she suddenly felt heavy. "I'm going to make a few recommendations for your next Chief Medical Officer, then... I'll go pack."

Zara gave a vague nod. She could not look at the other woman. Nor did she know exactly what to say.

Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow as she watched the two women, at least Siaxx had started somewhere when Siaxx added. "I tried to follow your orders...during the Breen incident.."

"You hate me," Zara finally rushed out. "I tried to help you out a lot and expected nothing."

"Most of it is not your fault.... my big issue with you stems from the Klingon hooch incident." Siaxx commented. "the rest of it.... is an issue I have with everyone except.. you." the Bolian explained. "You don't drag me out of bed or from dinner or when I'm fucking Phoenix to tend to incidents in the bar... or whenever someone needs their booboo's fixed, they call me.... every single... time... they call me..."

Yamaguchi watched carefully. "Siaxx... I've known you for a very long time.... this is not you... you're not the happy Bolian I used to know.... and... I'll be blunt, I miss my friend... you know... the one who I used to know... even Rachael mentioned it not that long ago.."

Zara remained silent for a while. She tried to think of something to say to make it right, but she could not.

"I don't desecrate the corpses of other people... no matter how stupid they were in life or how foolish their death...." Siaxx commented softly. "you accused me of one of the highest crimes a Bolian can be guilty about.... thats why I came apart on you."

"You haven't exactly been someone I read like a book," Zara noted defensively. "You threatened to rape and murder me. So I don't know you anymore."

And with that, she shifted slightly a few more paces.

Siaxx didn't move, she was sitting on a stone bench as she was facing away from Zara as she began to explain.

"You and Phoenix have had this private war going on between you... and I got dragged into it.." the small Bolian explained. "You two hate each other so much...and I tried to stay out of it, which.... is clearly impossible... so naturally... I got dragged into it on Phoenix's side of the matter... " she sighed. "I came to see you as a threat, to her... and to me.."

"I didn't start this bullshit," Zara yelled back and stopped when she began to feel her chest tighten. Her voice, when she spoke again, was quiet. "...She continued to bully me the moment she came aboard. She don't want peace."

The room began to sway a bit for reasons Zara did not understand. But she tried hard to remain calm.

Yamaguchi watched in silence, she could feel Zara starting to panic. "Zara... take a deep breathe." she said.

Siaxx meanwhile didn't turn her head, she didn't move whatsoever. "Zara.... It doesn't matter anymore..."

Zara could only plop to the floor and pulled her knees up to her chest. It did matter. To Torilla.

"I want to let it go. I've tried," Zara confessed as she rocked on her heels. "It's a one-sided shit-fest I've tried to steer from."

Siaxx slowly turned her head. "But have you told Phoenix anything she wants to hear...?" she inquired. "Yes, you've tried.. I know you've tried.. I was there the last time you tried.." the fire had gone out of Siaxx's eyes and out of her voice and now she felt dead.

The Bolian had felt dead ever since she went to destroy the ship. "You know what happened with the Breen right..?" Siaxx regarded the Trill. "I tried to kill all of us...." she paused. "If that's what command is.... then I'm not interested... ever."

"But Siaxx... you're good at it.." Yamaguchi added softly. "More then you give yourself credit for... you enjoyed being in the center chair... didn't you?"

Siaxx slowly looked away. "Yes... but it doesn't matter anymore... I'm not anything important on this ship.... I have nothing left... except Phoenix.."

The constriction on Zara's chest grew exponentially in that moment. The rocking, more prominent. And then Zara stopped and visually struggled to catch her breath through a very intense wheezing pattern. A true panic attack with true horror.

Siaxx was on her feet and by the Captain's side. "Torilla, toss me a medkit.."

Torilla simply created a medkit before tossing it to Siaxx. "How bad is it."

Siaxx looked down at Zara. "Zara...listen to the sound of my voice... I'm going to give you 5 cc's of a general sedative... it'll gently bring down your blood pressure." as she opened her tricorder, Zara was having one hell of a panic attack as she sighed. "Oh yeah..." she injected the sedative as she continued to monitor the Captain.

All Zara saw was blue skies as she was laid on the ground. That, and Siaxx in her hoodie. But her breathing did start to slow, and tears did stream down her face.

"I'm sorry," Zara finally sniffed.

"I accept your apology... if you'll accept mine."

"OK," Zara spoke, a little groggy. And yet she still had a small tremble.

"It'll be okay Zara..." Siaxx responded. "Just focus on me and I'll get you through this..." as she gently soothed the other woman's nerves. "I'm not going to hurt you... in a few minutes you'll be right as rain.."

"I want to believe that," Zara spoke shakily.

"Gently Zara..." Siaxx commented. "You're heart rate spiked at twice the normal amount... But you're gonna be okay.." Siaxx looked down at Zara.

"Stay," Zara pleaded weakly.

"Alright... I'll stay..." Siaxx responded with a smile.

"Why... are all the doctors in your department, fucked up?" Zara spoke very slowly, as if she were nervous, but also because she was still catching her breath.

"An excellent question." Siaxx answered as she gently helped the other woman to a sitting position. "Before I answer your question... I want you to take slow deep breathes.. your blood pressure spiked to a dangerous level..."

Zara nodded vaguely to that.

"Well..." Siaxx then sat down before the other woman, mostly to reassure her she meant no harm. "Elizabeth thought she was protecting her mother. Tienn has an anger management issues, Sokanon is a kitty so she likes to get out a lot. Windspirit tells it how she sees it, the Gorn protects the ladies and everyone else has their various quirks."

"We got to do something about Furban, before her mom kills me," Zara frowned.

"Nalla.... is always stuck in her lab..." she paused. "I have three options... one is to get her out of her lab and into situations where she can interact with others, two... is get rid of her or three... is taking her to Adigeon Prime to get her mind rewired..... the question then... is how to talk her into it."

"Adigeon Prime?" Zara asked, while she slowly kept breathing. "Why them?"

"Because they are one of the best from what I've heard." Siaxx commented quietly. "One of my colleagues was treated there for various maladies... shall we say and now holds the rank of Captain at Starfleet Medical..." Siaxx explained. "What they do is synaptic pathway regeneration... in short... it'll give Nalla more freedom but... it will fundamentally change who and what she is.."

"Is making her duller right for her?" Zara asked quietly.

"Thats a good question.." Siaxx admitted. "It has to be her choice.." the Bolian considered it. "But still... the rest of sickbay are an odd mix..." she looked at Torilla and then back to Zara. "I'm going to make Windspirit my new Chief Nurse. I want someone who has it all in one sock.."

"I'm sorry I got Nalla used to being her lab so much," Zara spoke guiltily.

"Don't worry about it... you stuck her in there but she wanted to stay in there... Its not your fault.."

"How'd she do, during the virus stuff?" Zara asked with curiosity.

"She was the one who found a cure.." Siaxx explained.

"She's like a child," Zara spoke guiltily. "Only, I never liked children. So I avoided helping her. I'm sorry you got that burden, because I think Olmos is right, in that I've only managed to fuck the girl up even further."

"Such is the things I deal with in life.." Siaxx responded with a smile. "Come on... lets get you up on your feet..." as she stood up, then she offered her hand to Zara. "Come on..."

"Where we going?" Tane asked a tad skeptically.

"Nowhere." Siaxx responded. "Come one.." and with that Siaxx gently tugged Tane to her feet. "For someone who never liked children... you seem to get on with Rachael just fine.. even if she's no longer a child anymore."

"She needed math help," Zara shrugged aside.

"Mmm..." Siaxx raised an eyebrow. "In any case... I need to do everyone's physicals again... because of this virus outbreak... I'll start them tomorrow morning... and I'll start with the senior staff... Torilla. you're up first.." she looked from the massive woman over to the Trill. "As for you... I'd like to order you to come in.... but in your case.. I'll make an exception.... I'll make a house-call at 4am." the grin on her face said she was not to be believed.

"Heh..." Zara laughed nervously, then looked to Torilla for help.

"Siaxx... if you wake us at 4am... I will... hurt you." The taller woman peered down at the Bolian who suddenly looked nervous. "It was a joke."

"Siaxx.... you can be so think-skinned at times... Work on your issues and your sense of humor..... but please stop using others for your jokes which.... are not funny." Torilla let out a sigh. "I warned you last time... so now I will make it official..... Oh and Save you're breathe.... you'll need it for when I start tearing off your limbs.."

"Umm... Yeah. I'm going to go now," Zara insisted as she tried to walk, albeit weakly out of the room and away from the fireworks.

Siaxx took note of Torilla's threat. "Okay... so.... the Captain in her office after she comes on duty..... check..." and with that she turned and fled quickly. Quickly running past Zara, put the door and down the hall.
