 Confidential Notes on Nick Cannon --

    **After examining Lieutenant Nicholas Cannon, Flight Squadron Commander, I have been reluctantly forced to relieve him of flight duty.  It is my considered opinion, and that of at least two other counselors I called in to consult, that Cannon may be a danger to himself and others given an armed tactical fighter at his control.  For the moment, I decided not to confine him to quarters or to Sickbay.  Confinement might in fact make things worse.  I am also concerned that his dementia seems to have come on him about the same time that Bajorans began dying on the GATE.  Honestly, I do not believe he is behind the killings, but his behavior may convince someone less knowledgeable that he is, and I am concerned for his safety.  I have spoken with Ensign O'Patterson in Security and placed him on constant watch list.  Perhaps time will allow him to come to grips with the sensations he seems to be experiencing.  Otherwise, we may have to get more invasive in our treatment.  I have also consulted with Dr. Jeff Gorman, and he agrees that it is too early to begin any kind of medication therapy, though he admits that is an option if Cannon's condition worsens.**

    {{So ... what you're telling me is ... he's a loon.}}  

    "Not in so many words, Hannibal.  Layman's terms can't really explain fine shades of dementia."

    Hannibal snickered.  He wasn't impressed.  

    {{He's a few sandwiches short of a picnic.}}

    "Hannibal."

    {{A couple bricks shy of a full load.}} Hannibal began to chuckle.

    "O'Patterson!"

    {{Three sheets to the wind, and there ain't no wind.}} the hybrid snorted and laughed until tears came to his eyes.

    "Finished?" Gene sighed.

    Hannibal wiped his eyes and nodded.  {{Yeah, I'm good.  You promise not to do any *sleuthing* and I'll keep away from your patients.  Deal?}}

    "Deal," Gene agreed.

    {{Oh, and by the way.  Just for the record, I do have a list of Bajoran suspects.}}  Hannibal stopped smiling as if he'd turned it off.  {{Your name is on that list, too.}}

    The screen went blank.  

    "Prophets," Gene whispered.

NRPG: Chance, just thought I'd have a chat with my favorite Suliban hybrid.  What do you think?
