"Elizabeth would have made an outstanding Bolian..." Dvald answered. "I can see why Siaxx has the special place in her heart for Elizabeth and her siblings that she does."

Fordring sighed. "Well now that we're talking about the Garon'ekk in the room. Let's discuss Siaxx... Does she know about this little drama?"

"No," Dvald answered. "She and Captain R'Shav will both need to be informed on the matter... Sokanonn will also need to hear about this too." and paused. "Miranda Deepshadow might be able to offer us something too."

Fordring nodded her head. "I'll call them in and we can brief them all at the same time, so there will be less mess and fallout, at least for these guys... But we have one General involved at present... You know that soon it'll be four Admirals and one of those will be the commander for the Taurus Reach itself."

"Tell me about it," Dvald answered in a rather dry tone.

Fordring tapped her combadge and called in the three other officers, she settled in as she waited for the others to arrive, once they did and everyone was seated. Dvald nodded to Fordring. "Alright Galiaan, now that we're all here, the floor is yours."

"Alright, we've got a situation brewing with Elizabeth," Fordring commented. "I think she wants out of medical but she's not come out and said as much. Right now she is relieved of all of her duties... As she is having issues with her pregnancy." she explained. "She's-" was as far as he got before the smallest person in the room glared darkly at her sibling. "Heris, what the fuck have you done!." Dvald-Vaxx growled angrily.

"This wasn't me godsdammit Siaxx..." Dvald protested.

"Siaxx. Please?" Fordring said it quietly. "I know everyone in the room has strong words about this matter... But let me finish please..." as the most massive woman in the room sighed softly. "Elizabeth's situation does present us all with some interesting issues regarding the work-culture within Starfleet... This means this is going to the top... Especially once Fleet Admiral Duval gets involved and considering who she's connected to, you can bet that she will." Fordring explained.

Deepshadow nodded her head, all of this was new to her and she didn't have much to say at the present time. Considering that much of her work was related to the enlisted personel rather than the officers and doctors.

Sokanon sighed softly. "Considering that Elizabeth and I have had issues in the past." the Caitian female sighed softly.

"I think it's safe to say that we call have Sokanon. This... Is not about blame but how we can prevent this issue from coming up ever again."

Sokanon nodded. "What does not help was that there were illegal actions taken against Elizabeth in the past. Which meant when they were discovered and dealt with... Elizabeth went from Lieutenant JG to Lieutenant Commander inside of six months. So she had to prove she was worthy." as she suddenly facepalmed. "Shit..."

"This isn't your fault Sokanon..." Fordring commented softly. "Elizabeth let herself walk into it... The work culture of Starfleet encouraged her and we only helped it along... So this toxic brew of resentment was allowed to simmer, add in the ashes of hatred and the sauce of contempt. Stir together and then place in a pot and then place in a prepared oven... Bake for thirty minutes... and then plate and serve... What do I have for all of my efforts?" Fordring suddenly grinned. "A shit sandwich."

Sokanon couldn't help herself, she laughed. She didn't know what else to do on the matter at hand.

Dvald softly chuckled, her demure giggles were drowned out with the Caitian female's peals of laughter. R'Shav found herself smiling.

Dvald waited a moment to let the moment pass and the tension in the air be reduced before she brought the meeting back to order. "Alright. So... We can chalk this one up as Starfleet's work culture bending one of our best medics over and making her moan as it has its way with her then.?"

Fordring nodded her head. "I'd like to assign blame there and call it a day but... I'd like to see an email go out to all shift leaders, keep a better eye on their people... Because I think I speak for everyone present that we don't need this getting out of hand..."

"Have you ever seen Jake Yamaguchi when he gets truly angry?" Dvald-Vaxx inquired of the assembled gathering. "Because he will when he gets dragged into this concern. What's going to piss him off was the period of time that we're talking about here... It's been several months..." she added in a quiet tone of voice.

"I can take care of the letter to everyone... I'll send it to all medical personel and... Don't worry, I will be gentle on the topic." Fordring commented. "I used to be an instructor after all."

R'Shav nodded her head in silence. "I will make sure I'm prepared for any transfer requests that cross my desk. Forced and otherwise," she added. "I'll try to find replacement personel, should they become needed.

"Alright," Dvald answered. "Hopefully this matter doesn't get too stupid but I expect that it will..." she paused. "I think that's all we needed to discuss... So questions?" she wanted to bring this meeting to a speedy conclusion. There were none so Dvald brought the meeting to an end.
