Crewman Rayek
[Sickbay]
Lizzie shook her head. When she spoke her voice although at normal volume, was as hard as iron.
"I must insist Mr Rayek. If you do not see both the councillor and Doctor Stroreck at least once in the next week, I will not only not renew the prescription, but I will be declaring you medically unfit for duty and I will report the whole affair to the Captain for him to take action as he sees fit. If you agree to my proposal and stick to it, I can see no need for the Captain to be involved. If my Vulcan Colleague tells me there is nothing he can do for you then will accept his word." Lizzie paused. "So which option do you choose?" She asked, her voice softening a little.
The doctor's hard as iron ultimatum should not have been a surprise to Rayek, given her authority battle on the
Mnhei'sahe with the Sub-Commander, still his eyes narrowed angrily at her interference.
Scowling, he glanced down at his hands on his lap, carefully he weighed his options... if he acquiesced then by submitting to the Vulcan's training he risked his
mnhei'sahe should he inadvertently reveal Tal Shiar secrets - that were in truth several years old and likely not as crucial as they had been prior to the loss of Romulus.. and if he continued his refusal he would keep his
mnhei'sahe but quite likely at the cost of his just beginning Starfleet career. Rayek's brief impression of the Captain was that man did not look favorably on his presence aboard the Challenger - it was unlikely if that if the Captain were made aware of his illegal use of the medication and his refusal of the doctors treatment that it would it end.
Well, Rayek reasoned, if he were as trained as he claimed to the doctor, nothing the Vulcan attempted should get through his shields... that one female had been an anomaly.
Rayek slowly let out a long deep breath, as he smoothly the anger from his features and raised his head to meet the doctors expectant look,
"Very well Dr. Vaughan. It would seem I value this career enough to risk my mnhei'sahe. I will meet with this Vulcan doctor and prove I don't require his training."
