Miss Medic
Adira looked at him for a few seconds. He still thought that she worked by yelling at people, didn't he? She preferred to strike home. After a moment of silence she walked around the room opening cabinets until she found his stash of sedatives. She took one out and looked at it. "Only for use when prescribed by a doctor." She tossed the near-empty bottle to him, then pulled out another and read off the same thing and tossed it to him again. On the third bottle she turned to face him and opened it up, pouring the capsules into her hand. "You've been taking sedatives without telling Doc. If you got hurt and she gave you something, it could have been lethal. That would have left us with Marshall in charge - or dead." She rolled the capsules around in her hand for a moment before looking him in the eyes. "What if I took a bunch of these? You're next in command after Saami. So, we have about the same level of importance. How would you fare with that all?" She had mixed emotions about this - pity, surprise, concern, a bit of anger. By regs he should have been put in the brig. But by regs he wasn't supposed to have a symbiote on his spine or an ATTD in his heart either. "Vince, I'd have at the least expected you to tell Doc. Maybe even me. I understand that you didn't trust anyone when you came on board - I didn't either. But I'm honestly a bit disappointed that you took that risk. It's not about you, it's about the crew. There's people on here with families." Adira poured the pills back in the bottle and tossed it to the ground. "Look, I don't hold it against you much because... I understand the fear. But that doesn't make any of this okay." Her voice had been quiet and gentle the whole time she spoke. She was definitely not yelling at him or chastising him - she was just showing him why it was so stupid to take such a risk. The moment he was put on this job, it wasn't just about him anymore. The moment he got close to her, it wasn't just about him anymore. She walked over and took his chin in her hand, forcing him to look her in the eyes. "No more drugs of any form without talking to Doc. I need you on this ship, I can't have you taking these risks unnecessarily. The crew needs you. I'm not going to punish you, because I trust that... that you won't do it again, now that you know Doc and I won't admonish you or anything, we're here to help. Okay?"
