I do not have a character on STL, nor have I (as far as I can remember, and as of November 25th, 2005) ever even connected there. Certainly not within the past six months. So I, obviously, could not have told anyone who he is there. There are, however, people there who have graciously promised to send me logs of his exploits. (Hi, Ron/Joseph/Bernard/Tu’mak/Aarvim... You want a hint? Don’t act like a numbskull and people won’t guess who you are!)

  HEADER: [REPORT]                 SENDER: [AARVIM]         DATE: [12/27/79]          

This is an official report on a death that occured in sickbay.
 

         A man, Lieutenant Gary Larz, was brought into sickbay. He was
in cardiac arrest. The reason was found that he had been given 5cc's of
Amythyline for a terrible migrane headache and told to stay inactive
for one week. That lasted about two days, according to his roomate,
Calvyn Terrace. He was practicing martial arts with a friend, who was
unaware that he had been ordered to not be active, when he suffered a cardiac
arrest. He was brought to sickbay. At first his friend, Lieutenant JG
Walter Nels from operations, just wanted to stand and watch, but then he
got some kind of idea that he could, without any medical training as I
had already verified, help. He attempted to force his way. I called
security. First, lieutenant Bauers arrived and questioned him. Then
armored guards arrived. All the while he was trying to force his way to the
operating table. Lieutenant Bauers asked him to leave, but he rather
threw all his weight at one of the nurses who was assisting me, causing
the microscalpel that she was holding to pierce the man's heart. He lost
much blood at that occurance, and the shock force three quick beats
from his heart, forcing out even more blood. Although I patched the wound
up and cleaned it, he died. Lieutenant Nels attempted to escape, but he
was caught be the guards and brigged.

IC message regarding Aarvim (Ron). He's given up on Security at last,
and become a medic. Oh the horror.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Sirs,

         With this message, I wish to complain about the behavior of
Ensign Aarvim M'talrii Dar. Though I realise he is new to this ship, I
feel that strong guidance may be needed.
         While recovering from my time in captivity, the Ensign entered
Sickbay and proceeded to ask me questions in a loud tone of voice, even
though I was clearly napping. When I complained his current volume was
hurting my head, rather than lower his voice he proceeded to prepare
medication to treat the pain he was causing me.

         Several times I asked him to leave, but the ensign engaged the
restraint field rather than listen to me. Unable to move, I was
required to watch in horror due to recent trauma, how the Ensign proceeded to
give me pain medication. Due to my weakened state, I lost
consciousness.

         When I awoke hours later, I was lucky to find Sickbay empty,
and decided to get some sleep. After that, I was visited by Commodore
Briar Mage, in regards to the recent happenings aboard the ship. While
this visit and debriefing was underway, Ensign Dar entered once more and
I requested of him not to approach me any further. He commented that he
should be allowed to do his duty, at all costs, even against my will.
To my good fortune, Commodore Mage subsequently forbade him from giving
me medical treatment unless I specifically requested otherwise. The
ensign proceeded to question the Commodore's authority, but finally
conceded.

         I find this sort of behavior to be unacceptable for a medical
officer. As I stated then, I state now again that I'd rather be treated
by a Klingon field medic than Ensign Dar.

         As Doctor Baran is absent, I am sending this complaint to
Lieutenant Drei, but also to Doctor Baran to keep her informed upon return.
Naturally, as this complaint concerns him, a copy will also be sent to
Ensign Dar.

         So noted,

         Ensign R'ull

And Ron’s response?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In regards to the complaint that was sent out by Mr. R'ull, I would
like to comment:

I will admit that I did medicate him when he had asked me to leave, but
I thought it must have been the pain, or he was just adgitated for some
reason. In regards to the "loud voice" I seem to have used, I was
whispering. Only loud enough to wake the sleeping ensign and ask him what
was wrong. When he complained of a headache I did a medscan and proceeded
to give him 2cc's Clynausticine. A simple pain medication. I restrained
him because I felt he was acting foolishly and very much needed the
medication.

As to my questioning of the Commodore's authority. I did not question
his authority, certainly not 'continually'. I asked him if, in a state
of emergency where Mr. R'ull would die if not treated, if I then had
authorization to treat him. When I was answered, I accepted the point.

As for 'unacceptable behaviour', I was acting in what I felt was Mr.
R'ull's best interest, therefor I believe that no punishment should be
delivered.

I do not understand why Mr. R'ull feels the way he does and is
continually complaining. He has already made himself very clear on the matter
to Commodore Briar Mage and I had agreed not to treat him against his
will any farther. I cannot understand why, therefore, Mr. R'ull would
continue to complain of my actions.

         Aarvim M'talrii Darval.
         Medical officer, USS Cochrane.
