It was lunchtime. Ensign Qoyana Klix was eating her meal in a quiet area of the cafeteria.

A man walked up to her. "Hi, Qoy.," he said.

"Hello, Tom," she said, coolly.

He sat on the seat to her left-without getting permission from her. She did her best to ignore him.

"I hear that you and Data are an item," he said.

"That's none of your business."

"He's an android-a mechanical man! I'm a real man, with real emotions! What does he have that I don't have?"

"He's twice the man you ever were, Tom!"

Suddenly, he grabbed her. "I forbid you to go out with him!"

"Let go of me!"

He began forcibly kissing her.

Fortunately, Whorf was close by. He ran over, took Tom away from her, and socked him hard in the belly, knocking him to the floor!

He got up-with difficulty. "Er, I was just playing around! I'm sorry if I was a little rough. I'll be going, now."

Whorf came over and held him. "Not quite yet! Come with me, Engineer Braxton."

"Thanks, Whorf," said Qoy.

"If anyone else harasses you again, call on me."

"I will. Thank you."

He led him away.

A few weeks later, Engineer Thomas Braxton, of the USS Enterprise was relieved of duty, due to behavior unbecoming of an officer.
