Daisy looked over the crew rooster. Including her, there were only seven Marines other than pilots on board. "What happened?" she asked herself.
There were a lot of empty slots and many Marines were still in route.

The com chimed. "Is the Marine commanding officer there?" a male voice asked.

"Yes, Captain Rohr is here." She answered, a little perturbed.

"Can you ask him to come to the transporter room?" the voice asked.

Daisy's face flushed red. "I can ask 'HER', yes." she replied. "May I ask why 'SHE' needs to go to the transporter room?" Daisy asked.

"Yeah, we have a prisoner here. He belongs with to the marines. The security team can only release him to the Captain, XO, Security Chief, or Marine Commander. Since he is a marine, I thought I'd call you guys first." the voice stated.

Daisy groaned. "Alright I'm coming up. No reason to bother anyone else." Daisy replied.

"No, we need that Captain Roo fella." the voice responded.

Daisy sighed and didn't respond to the last transmission. She left her small office for the transporter room.

Daisy entered the transporter room. A man was at the transporter controls, he had Petty Officer rank on his collar. On the transporter pad were two security personnel and a very tall man in a marine uniform.

The Chief looked at Daisy. "Oh, you that girl who talked to me didn't say that you were a women." the chief told Daisy.

Daisy gave him a quick, nasty look. She then turned to the security team. "Alright hand him over." she ordered.

"Yes, Sir." one of the security detail told her. "Here is a PADD with all his information, assignment orders, and special instructions." Daisy took the PADD and skimmed through it.

"Unshackle Private Werner please." she told him.

"You don't have to until he gets to his quarters." He informed her.

"I know. Unshackle him now please." she reiterated.

The security team unbound the marines wrists. The got back on the transporter pad. Daisy and Werner headed towards the turbo lifts.

"So, were you in the brig for drinking or fighting?" Daisy asked Werner.

"I'm not from the brig. I'm from a prison planet. I'm here on parole." He told her.

Daisy was a little surprised. She had never heard of military prisoners paroled to go back on active duty.

"Do I dare ask what you did?" Daisy inquired.

"I shot my commanding officer during a firefight." Werner answered.

Daisy grimaced. Werner smiled at her reaction. The two entered the turbo lift.

Daisy ordered "Computer: Deck 19 please." And the lift started to move.

"Is there a bar on this ship?" Werner asked.

"Yes, Deck 10. Your orders are, however, to go to your quarters and stay there for the next seventy two hours. If, and only if, command thinks you are ready will you be allowed access to the ship." Daisy told Werner.

Werner started manually controlling the lift.

"What are you doing?" Daisy shouted. "Stop that!"

Werner ignored her. "Computer: Stop Turbo lift." Daisy ordered but nothing happened as the manual controls were in effect. "Computer: Officer override Captain Daisy Rohr. Stop turbo lift!" She shouted and the turbo lift stopped.

"Ah, that's so hard to reroute!" Werner complained. "Were're gonna be here awhile." he said as he continued on working.

Daisy grabbed his hands and he pushed her away. "Alright Missy, listen up. I was fighting in the Dominion war when you were playing with dollies. You don't touch me. This is my only warning." Werner told Daisy.

Werner went back to the controls and again Daisy tried to stop him. werner backhanded Daisy and she slammed back into the wall. "I warned you." he stated. Werner then gave Daisy a right cross to her face then a left cross. He tried another right cross but Daisy caught it. He immediately tried a left cross and Daisy caught his other fist.

Werner looked in astonishment as the Klingon women was matching his strength. Daisy snarled and exposed her bloodstained teeth. "I am not 'Missy' to you" she hissed.

Werner tried to knee her in the stomach but Daisy blocked it with her leg. She then gave a swift kick to Werner's other knee. He cringed and went down. She held onto his left arm. She twisted it behind his back until she heard it cracking. Werner cried out in pain.

She let go of his arm and grabbed his head. She slammed her knee into his face several times. She let him go and he slumped onto the deck moaning. She then kicked him in the ribs until she heard them crack.

Werner just laid there in a heap.

"Computer: Officer override Captain Rohr. Resume operations." she told the computer. "Computer: where is sickbay?" she asked.

"Main Sickbay is on Deck 12." it answered.

"Computer: go to Deck 12." Daisy ordered.
