Romar walked slowly over to the Admiral and said hesitantly " Admiral, I think you should come to sickbay also."

Woof Maccu stood up, his size making an imposing figure. "Nae chance," he growled. "You'll get me aff this bridge kicking and screaming."

Romar stepped back and announced, "Very well Admiral, you leave me no choice. Under Section 23, paragraph 4 of Federation regulations, I hereby relieve you of command."

"You insolent dog," raged Woof Maccu " Maybe I should relieve you of your head."

He was so enraged, he didn't notice Tecala stealing up behind him, and pressing a hypo spray into his neck. As the sedative kicked in, he sank to his knees, and fell face first onto the floor.

"Well done, Tecala," said Romar, "We'll make a commando of you yet."

Tecala, replacing the hypo spray back in her medi kit box replied, "You forget doctor, I spent years in the Bajoran Resistance,"

"Right," said Romar, rapidly changing the subject to hide his lapse of memory. " We need to get these two to sickbay."

Lt Q standing nearby cut in, saying." No sooner said, than done." With a snap with his fingers, and a flash of light Q, the two medics, and their two patients disappeared from the bridge, and re-appeared in sickbay.

Romar looked round and recognising his surroundings said at length "Q, you have broken your oath to Starfleet."

Lt Q, looking embarrassed, replied "Sorry doc, force of habit. I was worried about Commander Charm. You see, we have a special bond between us." Leaning forward and lowering his voice a little, he continued. " Tell you what doc, I won't tell anyone at Starfleet if you don't."

Romar nodded in agreement, and told Lt Q "You better get back on the Bridge. You are now in command?"

Lt Q, taken aback slightly, queried," Command? Me? Don't you hold the higher rank?"

"Yes" replied Romar, "You're the second Officer remember? Take a look around, I'm a bit busy at the moment."

"You're the doc, doc" said Lt Q, and with that, snapped his fingers, and in a flash of light disappeared from the sickbay.

" That's all we need", said Romar sarcastically, " A Q with a sense of humour".

"Yes" added Tecala, "Almost as bad as a doctor with one."
