The Counselor turns his head.

"I'm not sure if Security will take orders from you, Mr. Ourumov. Perhaps it would be easier to ask Admiral Geordi to do something about this...."

Thomas runs to the Rear-Admiral.

"Excuse me, Sir - but I think we have a security problem over there! You are needed to clarify the situation, Admiral."

Hello!

I'm just waiting for being assigned to my new post. Thought, I could have a drink in here in the meanwhile...?

Thomas enters the room.

"Claire, Shakira, I just wanted to say goodbye. The Skytoucher is on her way back to Avalon to deliver Admiral Vorak. I will go on board as soon as she arrives...

Thank you for all the cups of jasmine tea - it was really the best one I've ever had!"

Hello Claire, could I have a Jasmine tea, please?

(Edited by Thomas Stiegler at 8:57 am on April 2, 2003)

Thanks, Claire. Well, I just came here after the U.S.S. Charisma had been destroyed - I used to be that ship's counselor for almost twelve years...

Plechanow... Boris Plechanow!? Boris, is it really you? Unbelievable - my little half-brother aboard Station Avalon! What are you doing here?

"Well, Mr. Ouromov, perhaps you should just let each one do his job - and Security is obviously not yours. But I won't discuss about Starfleet regulations with you. If you have any further questions feel free to visit me for a consultation at the medical department, as long as I am aboard Avalon Base."

Leaving the room Thomas nods at the Rear-Admiral, then at Shakira and Plechanow.

"Can't we just try to solve this peacefully? Let me have a talk to Admiral Geordi. Perhaps we will find a solution for your problem..."

Nagasaki points his phasic disruptor at Stiegler.

"Even if I wanted so - I wouldn't be able to establish any force field aboard this station, Sir. I'm just the U.S.S. Skytoucher's Ship's Counselor... My authorization codes have no influence here. And as you can see, nobody else is here except the EMH and myself.

By the way... isn't that a cardassian weapon?"

(Edited by Thomas Stiegler at 12:16 pm on Aug. 14, 2002)

"Well, as I just tried to explain, I won't be able to..."

Nagasaki moves his finger on his gun's trigger.

"All right, I try to seal of the room!

Computer, establish a level three force field around the sickbay. Authorization: Stiegler-five-eight-epsilon..."

At this moment Stiegler de-materializes.

EMH Mark III and Cnslr. Stiegler talking to each other.

"... and you shouldn't regard yourself as crowd of energy, but as an equal crewmember. And you have to insist on being treated..."

Someone armed with a weapon enters the room.

"Hallo Sir, can we help you? Wasn't it you, who...

Hey - what are you doing...?"

Stiegler calls for Security.

Name: Thomas Stiegler
Assignment: Counselor
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Assigned to: U.S.S. Skytoucher

Captain Nek Gente, good to see you again. Reporting in as ordered, Sir!

"Admirality will be glad to hear that. Thank you for the moment, Captain.

Erm... Sir, at the moment I'm still waiting for my new assignment as Counselor.
Well, all I'm doing is sitting in Ten Forward having one cup of jasmin tea after the other. Perhaps you know someone of the medical or counseling personal whom I could have a talk to in the meanwhile instead?"

[Thomas Stiegler enters the medical department. It is very silent and no one seems to be there at first sight]

"Hallo...?"

[No answer.]

"Doctor...?"

[Still no answer.]

"Anyone in here...!?"

[A quiet noise coming from one of the offices. Doors are open, Thomas enters.]

"Hallo Doctor. On Admiral Nocturnus' order I'm reporting in for a complete physical. Could you please have a medical look at me?"

=A=

Requesting permission to come aboard.

I believe the Lieutenant is right, Captain. There is or was indeed something around the planet... something like life. Its presence is too weak, so I won't be able to locate from where exactly it comes. I suggest we should do a higher level scan before sending any away team down to the planet, Sir.
