A few days after the boxing, in the middle of the night, after graveyard shift

*remembers Phlox saying to return if feeling bad*
*will do so, as wants to feel good for training and rematch with Matthew Hayes*

*ENTERS SICKBAY*

Doctor Phlox? You here?

::walks from office to sickbay main area::

Yes Crewman Kelly how can I help you?

[crewman_kelly]

Uhm... you said that I should return if... it's not that I'm feeling bad - the salve works great and all, but... I dunno, the bruises aren't behaving like I'm used to when I sparred with my brothers... if you know what I mean...?

[dr_phlox_ime]

Could you be more specific?

::moves to retrieve handheld scanner::

How exactly are they not behaving?

::starts to scan Kelly::

> How exactly are they not behaving?

I'm not sure, Doc. I had to sit down a few times after some stuff I did - until the world stopped moving. Not used to feeling like that when bruises fade. Normally it's just feeling like muscleache all over, if you know what I mean.

*hears com*

*appears in sickbay a few minutes later*

Hey, Doc. You called, I came. What's up, doc?

[dr_phlox_ime]

::looks up as Major Hayes enters sickbay::

You and I have something to discuss Major.

::moves around to point at crewman_kelly on the biobed

[majorhayes]

Do you see her over there?

*looks over*

Christina? WTF?

*nods*

*listens to Phlox's rant with increasing coldness*

Tell me Major...::hand sweeps out to encompass Kelly and the biobed::
do the end results of your little sparring session meet with your expectations?

::looks directly into Hayes' eyes::

Are you quite happy with yourself now?

Are you quite finished, Doctor?

Chr- Crewman Kelly asked me to spar with her. She insisted that she had sufficient experience to be able to spar with me safely. *points to black eye* And her performance during most of the sparring session reinforced for me that she was telling the truth as to her capacities.

*folds arms*

She proved to be an excellent boxer, so I increased the difficulty level - since the reason she asked me to spar with her was to improve her skills - and that was when she began having difficulties in defense...and where we stopped the sparring session

[dr_phlox_ime]

Are you quite finished, Doctor?

::nods once and folds arms across chest::

I even spoke to her yesterday, and she made no indication that she was experiencing any sort of difficulty. In fact, she was talking with me and two of my MACOs about further training sessions.

You must not know her as well as you thought you did Major. She was by here yesterday to recieve pain medication and something for the bruises.

I'm not weasingly out - if our sparring session caused this, then I'll stand the consequences of my actions I do have a duty of care - but I'm not fucking telepathic, doctor. I need to trust that my partners tell me if they're in trouble.

Yes you will Major. This is unacceptable! I cannot have you MACOs running around injuring the crew on Enterprise.

As for your mental abilities I am seriously debating if you have any at the moment.

::sees Hayes calm down::

Is...is she gonna be okay? No lasting damage?::checks own anger somewhat
