I.K.S. Gorkon
Praxis Station, in orbit of QoânoS
Kurak stomped toward the medical bay. She had waited a full day for this. Her initial attempts had been stymied by BâOraq being unconscious. However that petaQ Valatra had just informed her that BâOraq was awake. She also said that the doctor could not see her right now, but Kurak was hardly about to listen to the words of a physician whom she outranked and who wasnât even assigned to this ship.
The medical bay doors rumbled aside to reveal BâOraq sitting at her desk, talking with someone on a comm screen. Valatra and that civilian sheâd brought with her were checking on the patients in the medical bay, many of whom seemed healed enough to Kurakâs untrained eye.
âBâOraq,â she said, âI will speak to you.â
Holding up a hand, BâOraq said, âI will be with you in a moment. Couââ
Kurak stepped forward, her arm gripping her wrist. âNow, Doctor, this can wait no longer.â
The voice on the comm screen said, âWhat is that noise I hear in the background?â
Her eyes smoldering, BâOraq said, âIt is the Gorkonâs chief engineer, Councillor Krozek. I am sure she has what she believes is important shipâs business to discuss.â
As she walked closer to the desk, Kurak saw the emblem that indicated that the communication was with the Great Hall, and based on BâOraqâs words, it was a member of the High Council to whom she was speaking. With the greatest reluctance, Kurak said, âI will wait.â
At no point during this conversation did BâOraq take her eyes off the viewscreen. âYou were saying, Councillor?â
âI was saying, Doctor, that you may not speak to Kryan. The actions of Captain Stren speak for themselves.â
âNo, Councillor, they do not. I am not sure thatââ
Krozek looked to Kurak as if he wished to be doing anything other than talking to this woman. âDoctor, this is a waste of time. Kryan has been removed from the High Council pending his case being heard before the full council session that will commence in one weekâs time. His brotherâs actions have brought shame upon his House and upon the High Council.â
âCouncillor, I do not believe that Captain Strenâs actions wereââ
âWhat you believe is of very little interest to me, Doctor. If you wish to speak on Strenâs or Kryanâs behalf, you may do so in one week in open council. In the meantime, as part of that session, there will be a meqbaâ. We require Captain Strenâs body be sent to Doctor Kowag for examination.â
BâOraq hesitated. âStren is a patient in my medical bay, Councillor. Standard procedure dictates that I do a full examination and write a report before I release him.â
âYou are welcome to do so, but do it quickly and send the body to Kowag. That is all.â
With that, the screen went dark. Kurak had to admit to taking considerable enjoyment from the look of frustration on BâOraqâs face.
âIf youâre done wasting the High Councilâs time,â Kurak said with a wicked smile, âperhaps you can
