On the Bridge
"Yeah, if you could." Tawfeek said.
In the Medical Bay
Franklin looked up, noticing McKenna as she walked to the door. He didn't seem worried or upset, or anything. He paused to wait for her to enter.

"Hmm.. 180 degree cork screw evade maneuver I can do, fly on course in a straight line, not so sure Captain," Flip says with a smirk, obviously waking up and pushing the drowsiness further away.
He takes his place behind the controls and passes his hand over them whispering, "miss me girl?"

Jessica raises an eyebrow and follow McKenna to the med bay. "What's going on? Why did you think the Captain is messing with you?" Jessica asks softly, trying to not disturb the patient and Franklin's conversation.

McKenna skidded to a halt, doing a double take. Furious, all she could manage was ," Fine, he's yours, don't mess the place up." She turned, nearly into Jessica and let the door close behind her. " What's wrong? Tawfeek is a... jerk and let me think he'd killed that guy." McKenna did her best to hide she was upset and muttered, " I.. if you'll excuse me...'" She slipped by Jess and head for her room. She was torn between either storming to the bridge and punching the captain in the mouth, or packing her bags for departure at the next port as she fumbled with opening her door before slipping inside when it finally opened.

On the bridge
"Just don't run us into anything." Tawfeek said, getting up and leaving the bridge.
In the hallway outside the medical bay
Franklin had exited to chase McKenna when he realized she was out of sight. And Jessica was there. "Where did she go? Didn't Captain Tawfeek tell her Stewart was more than happy to have her back? Apparantly it was a rather interesting play by your Captain. Something about constantly offering things, and... smothering him, I guess. Anyways, this went on for an hour - I hope you don't mind, but I had come to see Stewart and just watched in the all - until Stewart finally yelled something about how Tawfeek was the most suffocating, atrocious nurse he had ever met, and pretty much demaned McKenna back." Franklin looked in the direction he wanted to go. "I... I'm not going to follow her, but someone should tell her."
In McKenna's quarters
In the quiet of her quarters, she heard a knock.

McKenna considered not answering the door. she was still fuming from being made a fool of, so much so that tears were forming. Making an asumption, she wiped her eyes and forced herself to stop gritting her teeth. " Look, Jess, I just want to be alone right now, okay?" she said as she keyed the door open.

Outside McKenna's quarters
It was Tawfeek.
"Just so that you know," He said. "I am not in the habit of killing people lying crippled and broken and under my protection. In case the subject comes up again, and you want to stay on my ship."
As the door closed, he turned to walk away. And he said, "You should see to your patient."

"Wait a minute!" Mckenna said, stopping the door and stepping out behind Tawfeek," Just wait, you sonuvabitch." she couldn't help but shout as upset as she was. " What did you expect me to think when you tell me you smothered him? You knew damned well what I was going to think? Then I find him alive and with his own doctor so obviously you granted his request and handed over care to Frankie, who there is no #$^ing way I am going to with , so as far as I'm concerned, he ain't my patient anymore!" MKenna could feel tears welling up but fought them off. " I don't even understand why you'd think I want to stay on your damned ship." She considered walking away, but instead folded her arms and waited for Tawfeek to respond, breathing deeply.

Tawfeek didn't answer right away. Instead he mulled a response. "You asked first if I had killed him. How do you think it feels to hear that? You're making it hard not to take it personally."
He resumed his walking away. "You came here to run away, but your past caught up to you, making you a pain in the ass since then. Maybe you should be asking whether I want you on this ship, and whether or not you want a good letter of reference when you start running from your past again."

Jessica does follow McKenna but hangs in the background as McKenna and Tawfeek have a heated conversation about the misinformation Tawfeek had apparently given MJ about the Captain in the medbay. Jessica makes no move to interfere in the conversation unless one of the parties indicates they want her to.

"Fine, McKenna asked without thinking as her voice dropped to normal level," I'll make it easy then. It's your ship, do you want me on it ?" It was at that point she noticed Jessica, and tried to bury her emotions.

On the Bridge
After Tawfeek left, Mensk (GMed) arrived, basically doing shift work. He sat down at a station on the lower level and loaded up the engineering feeds.Captain?" He asked. "He doesn't seem interested in what I usually have to say."
"Do you think, if I have a business idea, I could bring it to the
Outside McKenna's Quarters
"I want employees who can do their job. If you're not on my ship, it's because you cannot. So, either you're a solid employee - a solid doctor - or you're off my ship. Which would you rather be?"

It wasn't the kind of answer McKenna was looking for, but she simply nodded slightly, " I don't want to run, and despite you drive me crazy messing with my head, I want to stay as long as you'll have me as your doc. With your permission though, I'll allow As..., " she cleared her throat, " Franklin see to Captain Stewart for the rest of the trip. I'll supervise, but there isn't much that either of us can do other than make him rest until we get him to a full hospital. Med bay can patch people back together, but he needs a full head and neck bio scan to check for any permanent damage, not to mention both need a full tox workup to check if the oxygen deprivation caused any permanent damage. It would cost more than a new ship for the equipment to do both, so I won't bother asking for them on my birthday." she was still upset, but she tried to hide it behind a thin smirk after her comment. She knew what she really needed was something to help her burn off some energy and forget all the headaches.

Outside McKenna's quarters
Tawfeek didn't grin. "Just make sure you understand that I'm not pushing you into a corner. So long as you can work well, you're welcome on this ship. It's that simple. The minute that doesn't happen, then you're off." He walked away. "This business cannot support layabouts." He concluded as the door closed.
That left Jessica there with mcKenna.
On The Bridge
Mensk awaited Foreman's response to his query regarding Tawfeek's managerial reception to changes in business directions.
