"You can't be serious!", John screamed into the viewer.
Nicole looked at John, "She had the highest marks in her class."
"Highest Academic Marks.", John corrected looking at the PADD.
"She finished deadlast in practical performance. I told you that I needed a doctor.", John snapped.
"And I told you, I owe Commodore Paige one.", Nicole responded.
"Look, this is not about deals. This is about what is best for my ship. Do you know who tended to the Marines; the EMH. Would you want that annoying British accent on your ship?", John scolded.
"She is a good kid. You can mold her.", Nicole tried to appease her Task Group CO.
"She's a moron.", John snapped... Just as Clarissa walked onto the bridge.
John turned around, "Perfect. How am I supposed to start a relationship with that as my opening. Welcome aboard, Doc. This is not your fault."
"It's hers.", John pointed straight at the camera.
Clarissa frowned, "I thought you had selected me."
"I will just leave.", Clarissa knew she got the post because of some kinda deal with her father.
John looked at Nicole and then at Clarissa, "Dammit. Wait."
John looked at Nicole, "If she f**ks this up, it is on you."
John turned back to Clarissa, "I need a doc and I am not prepared to wait until the next round of graduates. The marine incident exposed a flaw in my crew. I am not about to let that pompous British accent on my bridge again."
Clarissa looked at John, "I'm your girl."
John looked at T'Zohl, "She is very smart. Make her into a doctor."
The Vulcan frowned, "Why me?"
John glared at his XO, "Because I might kill her."
T'Zohl followed Clarissa off the bridge.
