Timeline: 1000Hrs - April 15th, 2391

Cadet Rachael Yamaguchi walked into the pilots lounge, wearing her flight gear with Saki Yamaguchi, wearing a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, following her mother in silence.

Rachael ordered herself lunch as she ordered two slices of meat lovers pizza for Saki, she then ordered their drinks as she led her daughter over to a table that wasn't in use, she set the tray down before dispensing the food and drink.

"Now Saki.. this pizza isn't like the vitamin shots you've been getting along with your food so you'll find it a little odd.. but go ahead and try a slice." as she indicated the two piece before the child on a plate.

Saki gently lifted one as she began to eat. "Mm... its good." as she ate slowly.

Rachael meanwhile sipped her drink before she lifted her beefburger and took a bite from it, she closed her eyes to relish the sensation. "Mmmm... nothing like a beefburger to make your day complete." she commented aloud.

Meanwhile, up at the bar, Crosshairs took three shots of romulan ale, and handed one to Ensign T'Var and the other to Flight officer Tasha 'Mirage' Benson, while saying, "And that is for you ladies."

T'Var took the glass, and in an almost joking manner commented, "Are you sure you're human bodies will be able to take something as strong as romulan ale."

Both Crosshairs and Mirage shrugged it off, and Crosshairs replied, "Oh don't worry your pretty head, I can take it," as he took a sip.

T'Var took a sip of her own, replying, "I cannot count the amount of times I have heard that claim."

Ensign Garry Smithson sighed. "You are aware that Romulan Ale is illegal in the Federation right... As we are in the Federation. I feel obliged to mention it.."

She heard a commotion nearby as Saki likewise turned her head to watch two people having an argument. "Mom?"

Crosshairs gave Smithson a look, saying, "And I am obliged to tell you, your a dumb-ass, now shoo, your annoying."

"Its okay Sweetie. Ignore them." Rachael gave the two men a look of pure distaste.

Smithson sighed softly. "Seriously, I'm telling you that you're breaking the law... and now you're being an asshole to me... I'm gonna have you written up for this.."

She recognized one of them but she didn't know the other one, the guy she recognized was Garry Smithson who was now the same age that she herself was but the other one was one of the newer pilots. She'd heard somewhere that his name was Crosshairs.

Crosshairs scoffed at him, while T'Var and Mirage turned around and look at him, clearly holding their own glasses of ale. Crosshairs sneered at him, saying, "Ooooh, I am so scare of you, Mr. Mall cop, now, run off and go be a good little hall monitor somewhere else."

Saki kept an eye on them as she finished her first slice. "So... after this we head back for more training.... It was fun mom." the child said, to attract Rachael's attention.

"I wanted you to see what I used to do... before I ended up on Yeneer Gee One." Rachael explained with a smile.

Smithson was by now seeing red. "Y'Know what... enough of this... you're coming with me.... I'm arresting you for conduct unbecoming." he growled. "Also.. you're causing a scene in a public place."

Crosshairs gave Smithson a rude gesture, then got up from his chair, saying, "Well ladies I think we should go have some fun in the holodeck instead, this place is drab anyway." He just gave Smithson a look, then waked off with T'var and Mirage. Looking over his shoulder, he commented, "Don't you have a date with Miss Rosie Palms there."

Meanwhile Rachael and Saki finished their food as Rachael found herself facing the pilot who she didn't know. "Excuse me.." she said quietly as she moved aside to let him by. "Woah look out!" she added as Smithson went to punch him from behind as she threw a hand forward as Smithson seemed to skid to a halt.

Saki screamed as she covered her face.

Rachael growled. "That... will be quite enough outta you."

"I'm gonna fucking kill him!" Smithson snarled. "You wanna piece of me!, Pilot shitehawk." he screamed at all of the pilots in the room.

Rachael sighed before she backhanded the Ensign across the face. "That.... will be enough..."

Saki turned and ran out of the lounge as Rachael growled, she turned to see to Saki but she inadvertently let Smithson go who threw a punch at Crosshairs.

Crosshairs took the hit in the back of the head, and infuriated, he swung hard with his right fist, catching Smithson square in the jaw, knocking him off balance. Giving Smithson no chance to recover, Morales landed several more hits on Smithson, successfully knocking him to the deck. Leaving Smithson a crumpled heap on the floor, Crosshairs walked out of the lounge, only stopping when he noticed Rachael and a terrified Saki. "Is she OK," He asked."

Rachael was trying to soothe her terrified child. "I think so." she answered. "She's never seen anyone lose it like that before.... Jungle predators are a breeze but that was something else." she answered with a sigh. "I'll take his ass to sickbay... get Siaxx to tend to him."

Crosshairs nodded and simply walked off, fuming.

Rachael went back into the lounge, a terrified Saki followed her mother in silence, she had gone from being terrified to angry now and before anyone could stop her, Saki hailed off and kicked the downed officer who was bleeding on the carpet. "Asshole!" Saki snapped at him.

Rachael sighed softly as she reached down, she grasped his leg as she began dragging him behind her out of the lounge and down the hallway. "Come Saki... we're off to see Siaxx..."

"Yay!" Saki answered.

Windspirit turned her head as she saw Rachael dragging an officer she didn't recognize into sickbay. Looking down at the officer, whom looked like a gorilla smashed his face in, she asked, "What happened to him."

"Hey Windspirit." Rachael greeted the smaller medical officer. "Well.. he got into an argument with another pilot, Crosshairs I think his name was... Anyway.. Smithson was being a jackass and managed to scare the living daylights out of my daughter... so rather then let him bleed all over the floor, I figured I'd be a nice girl and drag his ass down here."
The taller woman explained, a small child following her at a respectful distance.

Windspirit simply looked at the security officer curiously, "Was that pilot a giant gorilla or something ,because it looks like he hit hard."

"No.." Rachael answered as she placed him on the biobed. "He was stupid enough to mouth off the other guy. But this was after he smacked the pilot first.... honestly this guy got what was coming to him.."

Siaxx came out of her office, a jovial look on her face as she peered at the Ensign with his face that looked like something massive had hit him. "Rachael, Rachael, Rachael... We really must discuss your anger management issues girl.." Siaxx looked immensely cheerful as she came over. "Wait... what happened to this guy...?"

"He got into a fight... and he scared the living crap out of Saki."

"Oh.." Siaxx's mouth formed a perfect rendition of the letter O. "So... you didn't do this?"

"No." Rachael answered. "He wouldn't have a head left had this been my handiwork. Sorry Siaxx but I can't take credit for another persons work..."

Siaxx didn't lose her smile as she chuckled. "Saki..." she greeted the eight year old who was a foot shorter than she herself was.

Windspirit looked at Siaxx, saying, "So, should we give him to Nalla, because I am tired of this."

Siaxx's smile only widened. "Sounds good to me." the small Bolian responded, she turned and went over to the science lab, she tapped the door chime. "Nalla... we have a patient for you." she addressed Nalla.

"Let me close up my projects properly," Nalla suggested and then asked, "What happened to him, Doctor Dvald?"

Siaxx smiled. "Well... The patient provoked a fight with another pilot and got his face smashed in for his trouble." Siaxx explained.

"Had a nurse already asked him the preliminary questions, or should I do that?" Nalla asked as she came out of her lab.

"No... We've not had the chance to ask him any questions.. We just started his treatment but there are no Doctors available, I'm no longer certified and nobody else is present... Sorry Nalla...but you're the only Doctor available." Siaxx explained the situation.

"Very well," Nalla noted with skepticism.

Siaxx turned as she led the other woman out of her lab and over to where the man was lying on the bed. "Here he is.." the small Bolian explained.

"Get me a coagulant and a bone regenerator. Also, we need a neural monitor on him to check for intracranial pressure," Nalla ordered to the nurses almost instantly.

Elizabeth Yamaguchi who was nearly came back a few moments later with the requested items, she handed them to Nalla while wearing a pair of dark grey gloves, it was so she didn't accidentally touch Nalla and either become a mental vegetable or she'd not need Viagra for the rest of the week.

Nalla was quick at putting her patient asleep before she went to work as fixing his bones with the bone regenerator. "How did this man get hurt?"

Rachael was the one who answered. "Well... he got into an argument with one of the pilots which lead to this guy smacking said pilot... the two got into a fist fight... Crosshairs was defending himself... to a point.."

Elizabeth glared a trifle hotly at her sibling. "This.... is not self defense." the larger woman growled.

"I assume Security has been notified of the barberism?" Nalla asked to anyone in particular as she started what might of been a painful reconstruction to an awake subject.

"Well... No, I've-"

"No?" Elizabeth almost growled menacingly at her sibling. "What do you mean no?"

"I've not had... a chance to... call security yet?"

Elizabeth sighed as she had to fight hard to reign in her temper as she wanted to strangle her sibling, the look on her face said as much. "Rachael, you can't just drag someone down here and not tell anyone, it doesn't work that way..."

"Well.. it was better than leaving him there."

Siaxx interrupted. "That... ladies will be quite enough.. Elizabeth, help Nalla with her patient. Rachael... walk with me and Saki.... you help your aunt, don't ask too many questions and be a good girl."

Saki nodded her head. "Yes Siaxx." the child turned her head, because apparently everyone present had forgotten that this eight year old was even in the room as she followed Elizabeth at a respectful distance.

Siaxx waited until Rachael was in her office before she turned. "You deliberately goaded your sister into losing her temper... why?"

"Because she's a stuck up bitch who gets away with far too much around here."

"Do not ever say that in my presence again." Siaxx growled so softly that Rachael had to strain to hear but there was no mistaking the hostile threat behind it. "How dare you, come in here, dragging your drama behind you... You are going to contact security and explain why one of their guys is missing and then you will come back and apologize to your sister, Nalla and myself for this... you contaminated a crime scene, then you dragged someone here from the pilots lounge, probably making his injuries worse and you didn't think about what you did was ultimately a stupid choice... and to top it all off, you're also setting an idiotic example for Saki... Rachael, seriously..... did you use your brains once during this entire drama..?"

"I could have left him there."

"Oh my god woman... Call security and tell them, then you call me and tell me while you do not move the victim!" Siaxx sighed. "You got lucky because you could have killed him.... so next time, call it in and do not touch anything.... Now get out of my sight..." Siaxx snapped at the woman who was effectively twice her size.

Rachael turned and fled, grateful to have that over with as she ran out the door, Siaxx fuming as she tried to calm down.

"Who is that woman?" Nalla asked to a much older version Rachael she had not met yet. Then the Deltan started working more on the face once more of the victim.

"That my dear Doctor.... would be Rachael Yamaguchi... the Ex-Oh's Daughter, used to be her youngest but is now her eldest and I swear... she left her brains behind in bed when she got up this morning." Siaxx answered the question. "I need to go back to bed... I hate days like this..." as Siaxx looked at Smithson's face. "Once more, we the unwilling are led by the unknowing, we're doing the impossible for the ungrateful." the small Bolian sighed. "This crew expects us to clean up after their messes when they get into fights... usually over stupid shit no less.."

Elizabeth came over with some medical gear, Saki was carrying a couple of items as well. "So.. you recall why you hate this job yet..."

"Its coming back to me.." Siaxx commented with a smile. "Saki... are you behaving?"

"Yes Siaxx.." the small child responded quietly as she reached her destination, then she handed the items to her aunt in silence. "She's stronger than she looks." Elizabeth added. "plus she doesn't ask stupid questions." she regarded her niece. "She might have a future in medicine... if we can sort out her education."

Siaxx nodded. "I'm gonna work something out for her."

"I believe the young one has not completed many of her basic studies to qualify for medical school," Nalla noted. She took everything literal, as was her nature.

Siaxx was expecting that statement. "That's because the young one is only eight years old and I'm not going to enroll her in med school... I'm going to enroll her in the ships school."

Elizabeth only smiled, before she went to work on repairing Smithsons face.
