"Who is Kally, is she Doctor Kellerman?" Fiona asked, as she walked into Sickbay. At that moment, she realized she was just wearing a swimsuit. She felt underdressed, and wanted to cover up, but she did not have a towel. She turned around, but the Captain was gone already, leaving Fiona standing in Sickbay all by herself.

She suddenly realized that Captain wasn't behind her anymore, she didn't realize she was talking to herself. Now she felt even more embarrassed, when was the embarrassment going to end she thought.

Henry had come around the corner, hearing a voice calling out. It had been a relatively slow day and Erika was at lunch, so he hadn't been expecting anyone, let alone a girl who looked to be about his age wearing a swimsuit. "Hello," he said. "You're looking for Doctor Kellerman? She's in her office." He gestured towards a door at the rear of the room.

"Aren't exams suppose to happen in the main area not an office, and do you have any clothes I can change into?" Fiona asked, as she felt a sense of modesty start to come over her. She was very annoyed, that the Captain tricked her into sickbay in her swimsuit.

Henry blushed a bit. "I can absolutely escort you to an exam room," he said.

"Or I can," Kally's voice said from her office doorway. She walked up to the two of them and smiled at Fiona. "And who do we have here?' she said, sizing her up. "I'm Doctor Kellerman. Are you new to the ship?"

"Is it that obvious. I guess I'm supposed to say what's up blessing to be here, pleasure to meet you?" Fiona asked a little annoyed. He was trying to figure out what kind of protocol would cover this type of scenario. She was embarrassed and annoyed. "Have any change of clothes, the captain kind of tricked me." Fiona finally managed to say, trying to let her anger settle for a moment.

"A pleasure to meet you. We'll have to give you a proper welcome," Kally said, gesturing to an exam room. "Thank you Henry, I'll take her from here," she said, sweetly.

Henry resisted the impulse to roll his eyes and went back to his station.

"Don't mind him, he's less fun than he looks," Kally said in a conspiratorial whisper. She smiled and gestured for Fiona to follow her, heading towards one of the exam rooms.

"What about those clothes?" Fiona asked again. She did not like flaunting her breasts in a skimpy bathing suit. She hoped Doctor Kellerman was not like the Captain.

"Yes, very flattering," Kally said, admiringly. "You can remove them once some privacy is assured." She held the door open for her.

Fiona was still annoyed, "That's not what I meant Doctor." Fiona said, as she followed her guidance. She started to walk through the doors. She covered herself up with her hands.

Once the door closed behind them and they were alone, Kally patted the biobed. "All right, soon as you're ready, up you go." She turned and picked up a padd from a stack on the counter and began making notes.

"I would prefer to wear real clothes not this bathing suit. Can't we replicate a new uniform, Doctor?" Fiona asked, wondering why the doctor wasn't addressing her immediate concern.

"If you didn't want to be wearing a bathing suit, why did you walk in here in one?" Kally said, then gestured to the wall behind the biobed. "Replicator's at your disposal."

Fiona dashed towards the replicator trying not to trip over her feet. "The Captain made meet her in the holodeck and have our report in be in bikini's. It was very uncomfortable." Fiona said as she looked to the replicator. She input the necessary commands to replicate a command-red uniform bearing an Ensign rank and quickly put on her uniform over the bikini. "Sorry about that," she called out still embarrassed.

"Oh, I didn't mind at all," Kally said, watching her and smiling. "Do you feel better?"

"I do, I really do." Fiona said, as she continues to tuck in her shirt. She did not imagine her meeting her new captain would end up this way.

"Good, Now, if you'll remove your clothes and hop on the biobed, we can begin," Kally said, straight-faced.

"Excuse me!" Fiona said, as a rage of fury started to fester at her core. How dare the doctor demand her to take off her clothes.

Kally snorted a laugh. "Sweetie you are going to have to loosen up if you're going to survive on this ship. Besides, that bikini suited you." She winked and patted the biobed again before walking over to get her tricorder. "Now, how about we start over, and begin with your name."

"I am Ensign Fiona McCarthy," she said, keeping her clothes on and ignoring the 'bikini comment saying she looked good on her comment. She was still annoyed about that comment. And she was annoyed at her captain.

"A pleasure to meet you, Ensign Fiona McCarthy. I am Lieutenant Kally Kellerman, and I am only going to ask you nicely once more to hop up and lie back." She looked at her pointedly.

Fiona just stared at the doctor for a moment, they she got on the bio bed, without saying a word. She followed the direction Kally gave her. It felt weird to lay down in the bed, especially after the doctor commented on how nice she looked in the bikini. "Now what, Doctor?"

"Now, I push buttons on this chirpy thing," she said, holding up her tricorder, "and then I say things like 'hmm...you're not getting enough water' or 'your serotonin levels are low.'" She continued scanning her and stepped around to the other side. "You just lie there and look cute."

Fiona was annoyed at her child like humor. She had a feeling that the doctor was toying with her, because she wanted Fiona, to loosen up. She shook her head in disbelief to the day she had. "Very Funny Doctor! If I do well, do I get a big lollypop and a sticker that says, your a big girl now?" She asked sarcastically? Her tone was rhetorical. She did not expect the doctor to take her condescending tone. Fiona looked around sickbay, and thought to herself, when will this day end.

"Well, you're doing a good job of it thus far," Kally said, only slightly patronizingly. "Are you always this 'friendly', or just when someone's interested in you?"

"Are you always this chipper, or this act for me?" Fiona asked, as she tried her best not to roll her eyes at the doctor. Fiona knew that the Doctor was teasing her, and playing mind games. What she could not figure out, was why? Why was she doing that?

Kally clucked her tongue disapprovingly. "Tsk tsk. Answering a question with a question. Classic deflection," she said, putting her tricorder aside. "I think I see why you're here," she said, her voice turning buttery smooth. "You need someone to relax you." She walked her fingers up Fiona's arm teasingly. "So, why don't we go back to my quarters, and I'll give you a full body massage that will wring every irate muscle out of you and leave you perfectly serene." She smiled down at the other woman and batted her eyes.

Fiona tried not to allow her rage to show. She was festering up inside. How dare the doctor cross ethical lines. Despite the fact that the Doctor was attractive, it was highly inappropriate. She quickly scrambled to come up with something. "Azrael, said he was going to take me out later. Sorry Doctor, my schedule is pretty full." She said, knowing it was a weak excuse. She knew she would have to talk to Azrael, and take him up on his offer. So far, he seemed to be the only normal person on the ship.

"Oh, you're going on a date with Izzy?" Kally said, brightening. "Well, lucky you. He's a sweetheart, and I can personally vouch for his excellent..." she gave Fiona a cheeky grin, "companionship." She picked up a padd and made a final note. "So if you decide to treat him to a couple's massage, just let me know. And I hope you treat him a bit nicer than you've acted so far." She poked Fiona in the side and put the padd down and folded her arms. "Welcome to the Chimera, Ensign."

Fiona bit her lip; it was all she could do from out lashing at the doctor. She felt the doctor was trying to bait her. "It's just dinner." she tried to say with a neutral tone in her voice. Her posture was defensive, despite her tone being neutral.

"More's the pity," Kally said. "Well, if that's the case, come see me after. Assuming he doesn't." She smirked. "In the mean time, your blood pressure is high, your stress levels are atrocious, and I can only imagine the soreness you must go through keeping your shoulders tense all the time. So before you go sneering at that massage offer? Consider that you really do need one." She opened the door to the exam room. "Lovely to meet you, Ensign McCarthy. You're dismissed."

Fiona practically darted out of the room, like a speeding bullet leaving the chamber. She started to proceed towards her quarters, before Doctor Kellerman or the Captain could flag her down again. She was done being tormented by them. "Thanks for the clean bill of health, " she said over her shoulder. Her next stop was to find Azrael, and get him onboard with her insane plan.
