Stardate: 60298.1850
Setting: USS ANUBIS, CMO's Office -> Sickbay
The young woman sat at the desk of the ANUBIS' CMO who had yet to make his reappearance from the small room in which he had segregated himself in. Every so often a loud unnatural sound from emerge from the room indicating that the man had not perished… at least not yet, some of the noises he had been making leading some to believe that the Doctor had not been doing well at all.
As she began to enter the result of her medical examination into the computer, the redheaded woman glanced around the bare room recalling her days as a CMO before shifting her gaze onto Ens. Summers who had still not left. The former aCMO appeared quite at ease in Sickbay, and the staff seemed more than happy to have her there helping, the current CMO not she made a verbal entry into the ship's logs.
"First Officer's log, Stardate… 60298.1851. Our mission to retrieve the Mind Stone and find Ens. Summers is over and we are finally heading back to NEW ALEXANDRIA after having dealt with more headaches than I care to remember. We are still unsure if the ANUBIS has managed to achieve the 2 objectives specified by Admiral Koneki… Lt. Maya is still investigating several of the artifacts found, but so far it looks like the Tal-Tonil may have slipped between our fingers, and its whereabouts unknown at this time." Sabrina paused for an instant, carefully considering what she would place in her official log.
"As soon as Ens. Summers has had some time to rest, I will ask her a few questions about her mission and the circumstances that have led her to be with Lt. Onison. Lt. Cmdr. Enaii has been given the task to investigate the man's past and confirm that he is indeed a member of SFI… but until then he has been confined to guest quarters with a security escort." The young woman added for the record, her eyes dancing between the small screen on which she had been entering the medical information of her patients and the woman they had rescued.
"Computer, begin recording of personal log… Stardate… 60298.1852. I have spoken to some of the members of the medical staff about earlier concerns… and all seem to agree that the current CMO is not working out as he should. Either he is constantly complaining about life onboard an Intel ship, or making comments about the shadowy purpose of the ship that he himself is on. As soon as we arrive back at our home base, I will mention this to James and recommend that he be reassigned… somewhere. Next will be to find a replacement… and strangely enough I might just recommend Ens. Summers for the post. There are still some major questions to be asked, but if her current disposition holds, she would prove to be a much better Doctor than the one we have right now… sort of." The young woman recorded, stopping as a bright smile came to grace her pink lips.
Through the protective glass that separated the primary treatment area and the office that she had been in, the ExO could now see Ens. Summers treating none other than the CMO. The sight had been just too amusing to ignore, so the young woman left the office and proceeded into the main treatment area in investigate the situation.
"Oh quit bellyaching… the medication is not worse than the ailment. I have reduced the dosage so that you would not endure the full side effects as per your allergies, so at least that way you will be able to at least stop making all of those awful sounds. I have heard less scary stuff coming from horror holo-novels." Ens. Summers said as the ExO approached, unaware of the young woman's proximity.
"Nicely done Ensign… maybe we should think of adding you to the staff roster." Sabrina's playful sounding tease had in fact been meant to test that very same possibility on both the CMO and aCMO. Although the Doctor had chosen not to react to the comment made, Lea seemed tickled pink with the idea suggested by the ANUBIS' ExO… something that the young woman had actually been glad to see.
After having exchanged a smile with the other woman, Rikar turned over control of Sickbay back to the CMO and made her way towards the door. Just when she had been ready to step out into the corridor, Sabrina stopped dead in her tracks and glanced back over her shoulder to get a last look at Ens. Summers… hopefully the previous character that the ExO had encountered back on NEW ALEXANDRIA would not resurface allowing this change to remain as is. Of course it had been impossible for Sabrina not to recall an all too similar circumstance in which she had been directly involved… a situation where the persona of *Samantha* Rikar had emerged out from the shadows of her mind only to be cast back into the nothingness it had come from when her memories reasserted themselves.

Stardate: 60298.1856
Setting: IGC
The young woman stood on the main work floor of the specialized Intelligence Gathering Center, her gaze cast upward onto the windows behind which her life-mate had been busy working. Sabrina could imagine that Enaii had been occupied with researching Luke Onison's past since the ILO had been confirmed to her department, but the ExO could not help but wonder if they would ever discuss what had happened.
Sabrina knew better than to take any of the rumours at face value, but the idea that Enaii had been even in a slightest of ways involved in the escape of the 2 Romulan Tal'Shiar agents haunted the mind of the young woman. If Enaii had played any role in this, as many of the senior staff believed, would she actually tell Sabrina the reason or reasons why or would the ExO be left wondering like the other members of the crew?
Hopefully the ILO would find it in her heart to trust the other parent of their child enough to tell her what had happened and if Sabrina and the rest of the ship could begin to learn to in turn trust her once again.
