John rang the door chime on the Captain's ready room. It was time for his morning meeting with the captain.

"Enter" came the reply."

John entered and stood across from the captain. "Good morning Captain. Today is a good day to launch the Zion."

"I was hoping to hear you say that." smiled Hunter has he sat back.

"All departments have reported in and are at their stations. We do have the problem with a missing doctor. So far he has failed to report in." said John.

"Any idea on where he may be?"

"No Sir!", said John

"Lets continue with our excursion to Bajor as planned.

"Absolutely sir!", said John

Hunter wasn't a betaziod, but he could tell Wright had more to say, and he had a pretty good idea what it was about.

"Have you had a chance to read this morning's personnel report?"

"I have sir." John paused, "I noticed that Ensign Riaan has been assigned to the Ops position."

"Correct" said Hunter.

"In light of her past history and the report from the counselor so you think this is a wise idea?" asked John

Hunter sighed. "I think it is a better idea than working in security." He said.

"What concerns me sir is her issues with anger management and the counselors statement about her being unstable. In my opinion captain she may be risk to the crew." responded John.

"Of course Number One. Your concern is duly noted." Hunter said. "I can't help thinking it might be a bit of a cultural trait. We both know many fine Klingon officers who would fair no better in a counselor's report."

"I've learned to trust my instincts, I think this will work. But I've been wrong before, that's why I'm counting on you to be a second set of eyes and ears."

"Yes sir, it is your decision, however, if I think for a moment that she is putting this ship or it's crew in danger I will throw her into the brig.

"Of course," Hunter replied, "I'd expect no less from you in regards to anyone on this ship."

"Very well sir. I better start looking for that doctor." Said John with a smile.

"Excellent, carry on." Said Hunter standing up.

John smiled and walked out of the Captain's office. "This is going to be an interesting assignment", he thought.
