Dreams - Chapter 1
DS9, Captain Sisko's office - 50874.3

" I'm sorry to lose you Doctor, its been a pleasure serving with you "

" Thankyou Sir but I'm not gone yet I've still got to find a ship that will accept
me first especially with my genetic background "

Sisko looked into the young mans eyes and for what seemed like the first time
he saw something very different than what he saw when he first met him, a
quiet maturity and a glint of experience.

" Somehow Doctor I don't think that's going to be a problem "

" Anyway Sir I'm not leaving until a suitable and sufficient replacement can be
found, I have a list here of Starfleet Doctors who have the same qualifications
I have and I would recommend not taking any Doctor except one of these "

" Thankyou. Doctor, I'll look into this immediately "

Julian turned knowing he'd been dismissed but before he left the Captain
stopped him and asked,

" I'm assuming you'll want me to send your request to change you designation
with your transfer papers Doctor? "

" Yes Sir, I would appreciate that very much " and with that said he left Sisko in
his office.

DS9, Sick Bay - 50874.5

Julian sat in his office pondering his decision to change his designation from
Medical to Command, he was having second thoughts.

# Come on Julian its to late now its already been done #

" It certainly has hasn't It Doctor "

Julian turned and hissed out,

" Q!! "

" I'll be watching you Doctor "

And with a flash of white light Q disappeared.

" Damn. Bashir to Ops "

" Dax here, Julian what can I do for you "

" You'd better get the Captain down here Jadzia Q just paid me a visit "

" Were on our way "

5 minutes later

Captain Sisko walked into the Infirmary with Dax, Kira and Odo on his tail
he didn't waste any time and immediately got to the questions.

" Are you sure it was hi Doctor? "

" Yes Sir without a doubt "

" Did he say what he was here about? "

" Yes Sir it was about my transfer "

A look of total and utter shock and surprise came over Jadzia's face which was
quickly followed by a look of hurt.

" I'm sorry Jadzia, I was going to tell you at dinner tonight I didn't want you
to find out like this "

Jadzia smiled a small smile at him and he knew it would be ok but he was
now dreading their conversation.

" Doctor lets please get back to the matter at hand, did he say anything
specific?

" Yes, just that he'd be watching me and now that I think about it I think
I know what prompted him here "

" And that is? "

" Ahhh I was having second thoughts about my transfer sir, I was thinking rather
heavily on the subject maybe that caught his attention "

Sisko was quiet as he thought about this.

# This could mean trouble for the Doctor, I'll have to inform Starfleet
Command #

" You'll inform me of any other encounters won't you Doctor "

" Yes Sir right away "

And with that he left, Kira and Odo following and Jadzia pausing slightly at the
doorway to look back at him with a unreadable look in her eyes and then she
to left. Julian looked at the empty doorway for a while after they left and but
one thought passed through his head,

# Well my life isn't complicated #
