"The Counseling Department Motto..." <continued from Joy's "Security Prep"> =/\= LOCATION: USS STONEHENGE SCENE: Counseling Center "Alright this Counseling Department meeting will come to order," Phia announced as she hit the desk with one of the foam aggression therapy bats. Looking around the department she said, "Who has the minutes from the last meeting?" "It was Dr. Crumby's turn to be Secretary," Lt. Philly Peoples called out as she sat up front. "Right," Phia nodded. Turning to the Horta civilian doctor she said, "Minutes from the last meeting?" The Horta shifted a bit in place for several minutes before stopping. Once there was a clear break Phia nodded and said, "Excellent, thank you. Moving on to the situation at hand, the USS STONEHENGE will be residents of ATLIV II. Let's discuss what our approach will be." Lt. Cmdr. Ruba-Kass leaned forward and said, "There are five things we need to remember when dealing with a colonist society--" "Not this again," Enisgn Siggy muttered to no one in particular. Lt jg Pung gave a glare to his former roommate. "Shut up, some of us find this interesting." "Some of us know how to counsel," Siggy hissed back. "Some of us recognize we already don't know everything," Pung shot back. Siggy inhaled sharply and folded his arms in across his chest. "And some of us have faith in our own convictions and don't base our practices on simply negating other people's practices." Phia raised a black eyebrow at the bickering pair. "Gentlemen, anything you want to share with the group?" Naomi Eastner, the lovely Deltan counselor, leaned over to the two and whispered, "Would you two like to talk about this in group therapy? I'm very eager to start a couples counseling session regarding frustrations--" "NO!" the men yelled at the Ensign. "No one wants to come to couples therapy," Naomi sighed. "Shit what you two blockheads need is to buy my new book – don't bother going to one of Naomi's never ending counseling group therapies," Philly Peoples offered up with a smirk. CPO Toucalty shook her head at everyone else. "Honestly we're in the most useless department – we spend more of our time talking than doing. Psychiatry has never solved anything that good ol' elbow grease and hard work couldn't take care of." "I'll keep that in mind when it comes time for reviews and I need to evaluate you on how your patients handle things after a session with you," Phia smiled with acidic sweetness. Shaking her head she looked around and saw the only Ferengi counselor looking forlorn and desperately trying to get her attention. "What's your problem, Flom?" "We didn't spend enough time at E4," he muttered. "I'm never going to be accepted into the family business if I can't drive traffic to my cousin's store..." "Right," Phia sighed as she scanned the room. "Now back to ATLIV II. They've just been attacked, and they're colonists on a world that isn't their homeworld. We'll be dealing with intense grieving, as well as the usual emotions after an attack. I want us to work with the Medical staff--" As the groans went up Phia overrode that and continued on, "--and work together as a team." "They don't listen to us!" Siggy yelled. "It comes from their own inferiority complexes." "It comes from their overdeveloped egos," Pung shot out. "It comes from the fact that they're seen as the superior scientific field and no one takes psychiatry seriously," Toucalty replied. "We're going into an area that has massive devastation and we're starting at a disadvantage." Naomi was just about bouncing out of her chair. "Massive devastation is wonderful!" When everyone stopped to look at her she continued on, "I can finally have a group counseling session!" "Honey ain't no one gonna want to talk about sex during a disaster," Peoples bluntly stated. "No?" Naomi asked sadly. "Hell no," Philly replied. The Deltan Ensign stopped her bouncing and frowned. Eventually she shrugged her shoulders and bounced again, "Still I can have patients in group therapy – it's a start." "Whatever," Phia muttered. Shaking her head she said as a chime rang, "Ok now Medical is coming over to join us in a group session to discuss tactics. Now what's our motto?" "No matter how insane we are--" Rogers began. "--we're still saner than every other department," Hammerstein finished off. "Fantastic," Phia nodded. As Drs. Jos and Dr. Foster came into the Counseling Center she smiled at them and said, "Thank you for joining us. Dr. Crumby will update you on what we've covered." The doctors nodded and said nothing as the Horta shifted for several minutes. Finally after he stopped several counselors murmured, "Excellent job, Crumby" "You tell them" "I couldn't agree more" with the only other sound in the room being Arjan howling with laughter and Aerdan hissing under his breath for his brother to shut up. =/\= NRPG: Sorry I ran out of steam at the end there. But I always wanted to show a Counseling Department meeting. And it just made sense to invite Medical at the end... <snickers> Jamie & Joy: Belated grats you too! =/\= Sarah Albertini-Bond Lt. Cmdr.
