=Captain's Ready Room, USS Zion=

The Captain's Ready Room seemed a bit busier than it should be, a few moments after Wright had taken his leave the door beeped open again. Instead of the two people he had just beeped, in walked a new nurse.

Hunter stood up.

Jelly pranced into the room and sat down. "Captain?

Hunter remained standing, "That would be me."

"You have GOT To help me!" She said frantically. "The woman in sickbay is crazy! Crazy!!!" She said desperately.

"And you are?"

"Goldman, Jellizina Goldman." Jelly said, and then suddenly realized how cute the captain was. "But um, you can call me Jelly." She said with a decidedly different tone as she walked around the edge of the captain's desk and sat down on it, a few inches from his chair. "And if you don't do something about that crazy woman in sickbay something very bad will happen!" Jelly said, not as a threat, but more of a prediction. "Captain." She purred.

Hunter face grew taut. Slowly he spoke: "Ensign! Get...your ass...off...my desk."

Jelly was shocked. "God they ALL hate me," she thought to herself as she jumped off of the desk. "Yes...yes...Captain." She stuttered and ran out of the room as fast as she could, thoroughly terrified and embarrassed.

"I need a drink." She said to herself.

Hunter tapped his combadge, "Bridge security, stop Ensign Goldman and return her to my ready room please."

He walked around to the front of his desk and leaned against it, folding his arms as two security officers stepped inside flanking Jellizina.

"Miss Goldman..." said Hunter clearing his throat. "I don't know where you came from, or how you ended up on my ship. I don't know how things were done there but I will tell you something. On this ship you will remember these rules." He stood up and got close to her face. "One, you will obey the Chain of Command. Do you know what that is?"

Jelly nodded. "Yes Sir." she looked down and studied her manicured nails.

"Two, when addressing the Captain or being addressed by the Captain. That's me. You are not allowed to leave until you are dismissed.

"But...."

"Three, you do not ever set your ass on my desk again."

Jelly pouted her lips. [There was nothing wrong with that, she only ment to break the ice]

"Do I make myself perfectly clear?"

She nodded again, despite her previous thought of Hunter being cute, she now saw him as a big bully.

"I didn't hear you, Ensign. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Captain," she said. " I do apologize, it is all rather new to me. I will make sure it will not happen again." Jelly shamefully looked up at Hunter and fluttered her eyelashes.

He dismissed the security guards with a nod.

"Miss Goldenman, in the academy did you not learn how to behave in the presence of a superior officer?"

Jelly grimased, "I did," she mumbled.

"You did graduate right?"

"But of course I did," she replied challenging Hunter.

"Then why do you think you can barge in here like you did?"

"Well I,... she stuttered. "I wanted to lodge a complaint and I couldn't wait!." she blurted out.

"Who is the complaint against?"

"Doctor Dane!"

"I see," said Hunter rubbing his forehead as if it hurt.

"Now do you really believe that your complaint is legitimate?"

Jelly frowned and responded stubbornly " Yes I do."

Despite his morbid curiosity, Hunter chose his response carefully, "you need to follow the Chain of Command, then. You would report your complaint with Commander Wright."

Hunter turned and stepped toward his desk and turned around. "I must be warn you Ensign," said Hunter, "if you are not respectful of Commander Wright, I can say with certainty that he will throw you in the brig."

Jelly's eyes grew big and she nodded.

"Dismissed," said Hunter.
