“Depends on the day and my mood,” Brad said. “The sensible thing would be to just ship the thing back via courier the next time we hit up a Starbase. If you were feeling particularly vindictive or mercurial, you could include a holo-recording of you cosplaying a Hobbit and throwing it in Mount Doom, or you doing karaoke to an early 21st-century breakup song.”

(ALEXA play “We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together”)bump
She laughed then. “I’m not sure he would get something like a lord of the rings link. He’s not one for fantasy stories.” She gave a sort of half huff and half sigh.
“The other, more scary question is…do I date again? Or buy a lot of tribbles…”

(tribble lady)“Hard no on the tribbles,” Brad said. “Not even the ones that are supposedly genetically modified to be sterile, because they had to come from somewhere. This ship’s brand new, I don’t think your career could survive the Board of Inquiry if we had to blow it up to get rid of a tribble infestation.”
Ruefully Willow nodded. Her career had been under the shadow of the sword of Damocles too many times for anyones liking. Trimble-gate would not help.
He took a sip from the flask. “You’re not even forty yet, barely a third of the way through your life, barring any serious accidents. You’ve got plenty of time to play the field yet, and find someone who you can stand and will also stand with you through your career ambitions.”

Doing Unlicensed Therapybump
She gave a sigh the a small smile. “Thanks Brad.” She was quiet a moment then pushed the palm of her hand roughly against her eyes and gave a laugh “Handsome, funny…a Doctor and a therapist to boot? Remind me again why we don’t set you up with any of those people battering your door down?”

CO“So Dr. Bonner doesn’t kill me for pushing even more of my work onto her?” Brad replied with a wry grin. “All the bright young things with dreams and ambitions of command don’t realize it’s not all seducing hot green women and dramatic posing, 80 percent of our jobs on the best days is paperwork.”
He pointed to the small mountain of PaDDs on one corner of his desk. “Case in point, my afternoon. Mostly reviewing charts of all the onboarding physicals, but there are a couple of active viral cases we’ve got among the newbies that came in on the same shuttle that I’m getting regular updates on, plus a couple of the new doctors are in a mentoring program with Medical that I’ve been drafted into supervising, so there’s a bunch of letters going back and forth between them, me, and San Francisco.”

Chief of StaffWillow laughed and looked towards the pile. “Interesting…anything fun viral or run of the mill viral? And that sounds exciting. Oooh we could totally work as an placement if we were nearby a federation outpost a cadet could get to.” She said thoughtfully.

“Interesting viral,” Brad said. “I’m having a genetic analysis done on one of the patients, because the symptoms aren’t behaving like they should in a full human, which the patient ostensibly is. Should have the results on that by the time I actually get to the chart, sometime around 1500.”
