Teilani had finished her examination of the pregnant crewmember and walked back to her office.

She walked to the replicator “coffee, Jamaican blend, double strong double sweet” She carefully placed the hot mug on her desk.

“Computer display messages”.

There were a few messages nothing of any major importance but the last one gave some concern.

Teilani, Riaan just left my office. While she was here, she injured the knuckles on both hands. They appear to be compound fractures. I directed her to Sick Bay to seek medical attention prior to going on duty at 0000. It is my guess that she will defy that direction and not get appropriate medical attention for her injuries. I am not sure how you would like to handle that, but I wanted you to know there is most likely a severely injured crewmember out there. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Patia"

Teilani frowned. She needed to know what the cause was of said injury. Although it was still early Teilani tapped her combadge.

“Patia, I need to know what happened, causing Riaan to hurt herself, Teilani asked.

"Teilani, Riaan stopped by yesterday. She did not have a scheduled appointment, but we had agreed she would have regular appointments to work through some of the trust and relationship issues she had from her previous service time. Let's just say, she had a few anger issues she needed to work on last night."

“Stay there I’m on my way. Taking a quick sip from her coffee, Teilani left her office and headed towards the counselor’s office.

"Patia are you alright? Tell me what happened, Teilani asked as she walked into the counselors office, noticing the mess.

Zoei sat in her office chair, the office still a shambles. "I am fine. As I said just a bit ago, we had a rather improptu session yesterday afternoon. Riaan appears to need to physically work out her anger. As you can see, she rather aggressively attacked the door and wall. When she left, I instructed her to go to Sick Bay and have her hands checked. They were a bloody mess. Parts of the knuckle bones were protruding through her skin. She did not feel it was necessary to have them looked at, but I had hoped she would follow the suggestion. I can't imagine they were much use to her when she reported for duty last night."

"What caused it for her to react so violently?

"Honestly, I don't think she knows how to deal with her overwhelming emotions through verbal communications. I think they are so intense, she is attempting to beat them out, so to speak. Also, I was not anticipating her reaction. I do have pillow bolsters people use to work through their aggressions, in a similar manner to what Riaan did to the office, but with no risk to themselves or other property. Going forward, that will be readily available to her during sessions."

“I understand. Computer locate Ltjg Riaan? Lt Riaan is in corridor 23," the reply came.

"Corridor 23 thats near sickbay. I think she is on her way over." Well I gotta run then. You sure your gonna be fine?"

"I will be fine. I hope you will be as well. Good luck with her, I hope she didn't cause herself more harm by not seeking help sooner."

" I hope so too. Talk to you later." Teilani quickly walked back to sickbay, hoping to be there sooner than Riaan.

=Sickbay=

Teilani ran throught the Zions corridors, just in time to beat Riaan. She managed to controle her breating just before Riaan entered sickbay.

After leaving Patia’s Office Riaan left hastily and looked around sickbay until she spotted Dr. Dane.

“She then proceeded over to her. “Good afternoon Teilani how are you?

"Fine, Teilani said gruffly.

“I have been asked to come and see you,” as she showed both her hands to Teilani.

"Geez, Riaan, what have you been doing?" Teilani turned around and walked over to a tray grabbing a hypospray and the derma/bone regenerator.

I prefer not discussing what had happened,” replied Riaan in an agitated tone. “I don’t need the hypospray either Teilani, but thank you anyways.”

"Don't use that tone with me Lt, Teilani said harshly," I will be the judge of it whether you need a hypospray or not. Now please sit down."

Riaan grudgingly sat down, but would have preferred not even being there. This afternoon turned out to be a disaster first with the counselor and now being here. Riaan couldn't wait for the day to be over with. She never said much back to Teilani nor did she apologize for her tone.

Quietly Teilani treated Riaans hands, while studying her face. "There now that was not so bad was it.?"

Riaan showed no emotion of any kind that to her this was considered a weakness and she was not going to permit the doctor or anyone the satisfaction of knowing how she was feeling. She replied grudgingly, “yes doctor that wasn’t bad,” still showing that she resented being here.

Riaan, Teilani said. "Although you might not believe it, we are not your enemies. There is nothing wrong with opening up to someone. We are a team, and we are here for each other in good times and in bad times. Please don't hurt yourself anymore, because it will not solve anything."

Riaan sat silently for a few minutes she didn’t need a speech from the doctor; she just glared back at her. “A few minutes later she then asked, “am I allowed to leave?”

"Yes you are," Teilani said with a smile. "By the way Riaan, thanks for dinner last time. I really enjoyed it. It was quite different."

“You are welcome and I am glad to hear you enjoyed yourself, maybe another time we can do that again,” as Riaan started relaxing her tone a bit.

"I surely hope so, you must tell me much more off it, o.k. Teilani said with a smile.

" If you will please excuse me I have some things to tend to before my shift", Riaan said as she stood up.

"Be careful next time Lt." Teilani said as she watched Riaan leave. She wearingly shook her head that was one troubled some girl. Hopefully Patia would be able to help her.

Teilani returned the equipment back to its tray and walked towards her office. On her desk the mug with the coffee was still standing. She took a drink, "Yuk cold coffee tasted horrible, she said walking over to the replicater.

"Computer, Coffee, Jamaican blend, double strong double sweet.
