Passing out Tricorders

Posted on Fri Dec 24th, 2010 @ 1:04pm by Lieutenant Commander Melissa Daniels M.D. & Samanthia Akiashiro

Mission: Ten Little Diplomats
Location: Warp 12

Melissa entered the Warp 12, which was the next restaurant on her list. She was passing out tricorders to all of the restaurants so that they could scan their stores due to the recent food poisoning.

Samanthia moved through the Warp 12 checking on the various employees and patrons. Giving a hand here and there to assist when and where needed.

Melissa spoke, "Yes, you can, I am looking for a Samantha..." She glanced at her PADD. "Ai...Kia... Shiro?"

Samanthia looked up at the Fleeter that walked in wearing duty uniform, hearing her name being spoken, just smiled and replied softly, "yes? It's Samanth-ee-a. Ack - ia -shiro."

She spoke, "Sorry about that, you just have one of those hard-to-pronounce names." The CMO said with a smile. "I"m Doctor Melissa Daniels, Base Medical Administrator."

Samanthia relaxed abit as she listened to the Medical Officer speak. "Rough day and apologyze for being abit jumpy. Propieter and manager of Warp-12. How can I be of assistance?"

"I was just checking this place out, and I have some tricorders for you." Melissa noted. "We've had some people come into medical with food poisoning lately. It's nothing serious, but it can be if the right species is infected with the right bacteria. So, I have had my staff hand out tricorders to all of the promenade restaurants and bars so that we can catch any contaminated food before it is prepared and served." She noted.

Samanthia scowled and looked abit indigiant, "I've served with the fleet in the field of Medicine and studies exteniousively on Xeno-Biological Dietary needs.. And My Chef's are the best in the fields and have come from all the proper Culinary Academies which one of their requirements is Xeno-Bio-Dietary requirements! I hope it didn't come from My establishment!"

Samanthia looks towards the kitchen ready to storm off and kick some righteous butt, standing there in a nice dress and holding a tub of dirty dishes on a hip and one hand, reaching up to push some stray hair out of her face.

Melissa spoke, "That's the problem, it's come from several. All with excellent hygiene ratings. I suspect neglect amongst one of the suppliers. Problem is, its nearly impossible to track it down. Security's busy with the recent Diplomatic Concessions to the Cardassians." She said with distaste noted in her voice. "Which leaves little security officers to investigate a food poisoning incident."

"You are more than welcome to check our food storage area." Samanthia relaxed a little seeing how harried Melissa was and knowing there was alot of other food dispencing places she had to check out. "I am sure you whont find any tainted food in this establishment." Still on the defencive for her place and willing to prove it.

"If Security has their hands tied up with the Cardassians..." Slight traces of anger underlying her voice, "... I'll alert Akiashiro's security to look into the matter also!" Giving a not so pleasant smile to Melissa as she motioned her to follow into back to see cooks from various species hard at work to the food lockers and pantry for the dry goods and canned foods from all over the galaxy. In the process of passing off the tub full of dirty dishes to another employee of the establishment.

Melissa suddenly stopped before she entered the kitchen. Her eyes zeroed in on one man. It was as if she had connected with that man's eyes. If anyone had ever seen the eyes of an assassin before, it was now plain as day.

"Come on, I haven't all day to be escorting people about the place.." To be interrupted by Melissa, looking at someone on her staff.

"Excuse me Ms. Akiashiro. I must look into something." The Chief Medical Officer's voice sounded completely emotionless. Her pace quickened as she chased a man who began running.

Samamthia watched the two flee the kitchen out the backway of the establishment. A sinking feeling was felt in her stomach as she pulled the tricorder from her pocket that Melissa had given her. "Everyone stop what you are doing!" Yelled above the noisy kitchen, getting everyones attention. "No food is to leave the kitchen to be served to anyone till I had a chance to check everything!" In her command voice and began to scan for any poison that was recorded on the medical tricorder she was given.
