“I am ready for my responsibilities, Dr. O’Fee. I also think… the Symbiont hasn’t had sex in a couple hundred years. And they need to relax.”
She looked directly at her doctor. “That took less than two minutes,” she said flatly—making it clear that sometimes, you had to play hardball to get the answers that mattered.
“Here’s what’s going to happen: you’re going to start with a round of apologies—beginning with Emery. He’s a fine doctor who deserves respect. Then you’re going to promise that this little display won’t happen again. Anywhere. Ever.”
Her tone was stern—unyielding.
“After that, I’ll call the Commander and report that you’re ready to resume your duties—under supervision. Just to ensure everything stays medically sound.” Her priority was clear: protect the integrity of the department, and just as importantly, the dignity of everyone within it.
“As for that second thing,” she added, eyes narrowing slightly—referring to the subject of sex, “as Chief Medical Officer, I can’t and won’t stop it if he chooses to pursue it. But—” she turned to Emery, now speaking as a potential friend, “I’ll say this to you directly.”
“I’ve seen this kind of thing unfold a hundred times—someone gets dazzled by the moment, they jump into bed, and in the morning, when the reality sets in, one or both people lose their self-respect.”
Her voice softened slightly, but the truth in her words stayed sharp. “If you’re going to do this, do it in a way that lets you hold your head high afterward. You have every reason to stand tall. Don’t let one night take that from you—not even for a second.”
