{Sickbay}

Mira had been asleep for a while. She felt warm and rested. Opening her eyes, she found she had cocooned herself in blankets. Reaching up, she tugged them down to see out.

The nurse came over to her with a smile on her face. "Your readings are back to normal, and you're free to resume duties." She placed a folded uniform on the bed. Dressing quickly, Mira slipped on her boots as she turned around. The nurse asked, "Have you seen Kronnelti? I was going to release him as well, but it would seem he left?"

Looking to the biobed next to the one she was sleeping in, a frown played on her lips. He had been there when she fell asleep. "No, he was there a few hours ago. "

The nurse shrugged. People were always slipping out of sickbay on her. "Lt. Commander? the CMO made an incident report on what happened and sent it and your medical report to the Captain. He wants to see you."

Mira nodded slowly, wondering if she was in trouble, but more than likely, he just wanted her report on it. "Thank you, Nurse."

She ran her fingers through her hair and tied it in a knot at the base of her neck. From past experience, she knew her hair wouldn't stay, but it was good enough to report to the Captain.

{Mess hall}

Stopping off Mira, got a Raktajino and breakfast sandwich with extra bacon. She was starved, so she practically inhaled it. Then she took her Raktajino to the captain's readyroom. Keying entry, she heard "enter."

{Readyroom}

It always amazed her how small the captain's office was. "Sir, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, have a seat. I have read the reports and seen the video. Is there anything you want to add."

Mira frowned "Actually Captain, you might know more about what happened than I do right now."

Captain Michael Intermeezo raised an eyebrow. She was a lot calmer than he expected. "Your memories still haven't come back?"

Mira shook her head. "I know he was able to drug me, but.......Sir I ......" she looked away for a moment to gather herself and then looked back at him." I really wanted to make sure this investigation was not compromised. I played right into delegate Sheris' plans, and I realized that with his advice on how to deal with his people. I have, in a sense, tied our hands on any recourse we could have taken. I am sorry, Sir." She looked down

Michael looked at his XO. "Mira, you are not planning to ......get even on your own?"

Looking up at him, she shook her head. " No, sir. He.....played me, and I lost. The only thing I could do was challenge him over honor. By Andorian law, that would be my right. Sheris is part of the Imperial Guard. He is probably more trained in combat than I am. He is larger and stronger than I am." she signed. "I would get my ass kicked. The fight would make it legal for him to beat me to pulp or even kill me." she shook her head not. “Not a wise move." she was quiet for a moment "Sir I don't think there is much I can do. Sheris told me by saying we were together his people would drop trying to influence the investigation, but that made it so I can't file charges too. Can't charge him when I said we were already together. " she frowned." Then we can't really charge him with drugging me because all he has to do is say he did know that would happen."

She rubbed her forehead with her fingertips. "Even if Starfleet was willing to charge him, then the Grazerite wouldn't have all the delegates they need to help their people. "

Michael nodded “Ok I want you to let me think about how I want to handle this. In the mean time I want you to have no contact with him at all. Not even over comms.”

At her nod he continued “All his communiqué will come directly to me.”

Mira looked so relived he almost smiled. “Yes Sir.”

He gave her a nod. “Now, off the record, how are you really doing?”

Mira smiled “Honesty? A little shaken up and angry. I would like to punch him but I plan to visit the gym and spend some time there.”

He nodded “Alright get that worked out and start your reports. I am sure they are adding up.”

“Aye sir” Mira groaned playfully.
