And Repel the Darkness from the Other...

A Darkness is dropping...

Thank the Prophets!

*he lay in his biobed as suddenly all the monitors in the infirmary flared to life and some of the older medical equipment sparked and burst harmlessly, both @doctorjabara.bsky.social and @selarofvulcan.bsky.social observing the same phenomena*

What was that?

You can't prove it! Silly child...

That's nice, now move along and leave an injured old man alone in peace...I'll pass your comments along to the constable when I complain about First Clerk Leeta...

Don't make me laugh! You came up to me, you violated it!

Don't worry, after this I don't want her tainted aura around me anymore so I'll be getting a restraining order against her as soon as I'm out of here!

That was literally my first insult directed at her today and she'll tell you that! I was so enraged at what she did to the vedek and then had the unmitigated gall to cry over it!

I was not insulting her, she was having second thoughts about living with that tyrant so I told her the truth and she told me to "shut up" and then hit me and then the vedek when he tried to stop her from destroying the place in a crazed fury!

Perhaps for me, but not for poor Vedek Ossan...he just tried to stop her from hitting me and she attacked him savagely! Don't worry though my pain must give you great sadistic satisfaction!

Hah! That "good heart" just assaulted me and a poor vedek who has been nothing but nice and welcoming to her! Don't make me laugh!

*he laid down on one of biobeds, still bleeding*

I apologize...I was not attempting to harass her...my moral fury at what she did to the vedek took over briefly...it will not happen again...

Oh stop it with your fake tears! You caused this! You spawn of the Pah-Wraiths!

Thank you....just focus on the vedek mostly, he is the real victim here...

Thank you, Doctor...I fear my arm is broken as you can see...

Thank the Prophets!

Sick!

Fine by me! Just keep your savage wife on a short leash!

Doesn't matter how well you know her I doubt even she can make this go away!

She assaulted a vedek! Defaced an Orb of the Prophets! These are serious offences! I think they'll see it my way...

I still have friends who agree with me in the Assembly...which is more than I can say for her...

Not quite! I'll be pushing for Attainment so she cannot deface another temple like this ever again!

I plan to get a restraining order against her! And make sure she pays the highest price for this offense! By careful with him! You could make any spine problems worse carrying him like that!

I don't want to be anywhere near your whore! For all I care I never want to see her again! But I refuse to allow her to touch the vedek!

I refuse to allow her near the man she just abused! I'll go get the doctors myself!

*he started to hobble out, clutching his shoulder*

Yes...but are there not rules about not letting the assaulter near the abused? What would the constable have to say?

No! She should not be anywhere near him! Where is station security?

Because I am outraged! Look at my should if you do not believe me!

*sure enough and small puddle of blood sat beneath his wounded arm which dripped slowly*

She assaulted a member of the Bajoran Faith! There will be an investigation and I'll make sure of it!
