Having showered, changed, and regrouped, Man'darr and the Marine Detachment were ready to deploy with Man'darr being ordered to the Embassy with Envoy Brett. He had heard that she and Major Azhul butted heads often, which seemed normal to him. Delegates and Marines often clashed over many subjects. However, he entered Sickbay with something else entirely in mind, being assisted suddenly by PFC Durak who was in on the plan as he started to walk with a limp as the doors opened for him. He looked around for Doctor Strode.

Tallia was actually on her way out when Man'darr walked in, but seeing him coming in draped over the shoulder of a Cardassian PFC sent her right back into doctor mode, "Mr. Man'darr, what happened?" She asked, turning to the PFC, "Get him over there on the diagnostic bed so we can get a look at him."

"Yes doctor," Durak said, managing to hide the grin as he helped Man'darr. He like the big guy--he didn't judge him for his race like many that he encountered did, but rather judged him by his actions.

"I don't know," he said as he hobbled over to the table with Durak's help. "Intense pain in my leg."

"Okay, take his feet." Tallia ordered, watching as Durak moved the older Marine's feet onto the bed, "Okay, describe the pain, is it a stabbing pain? Or more like an ache? Continuous or recurrent?"

"Stabbing but continuous. Goes and comes in intensity," Man'darr described. "Started not too long after left here."

"Why did you wait so damn long then?" Tallia said frustrated, "You Superman types drive me nuts, never wanting to come to the doctor then checking out early. You know who lives forever? Hypochondriacs!" She began running the scans, shaking her head in frustration, "Okay, I'm not seeing a reason for your symptoms..."

Man'darr couldn't help himself but to chuckle. "Better go and check back with the detachment, PFC Durak."

Durak nodded and walked briskly to the door, wanting to get out of Sickbay as soon as possible.

"Well, you know us Superman types, Doctor Strode, we can't resist a beautiful woman or a good prank," he said, chuckling some more.

Tallia rolled her eyes and laughed, "Okay, so you wasted my time and resources, but since you called me a beautiful woman and it's not cool to pick on the blind I guess I'll let you have your laugh."

"Damn right you will," he said confidently, as he swung his legs off the bed. "And I'm hardly blind. Besides, I told you I would be back."

"I'll remember to lock my doors next time." Tallia quipped.

Man'darr laughed at the comment. "Challenge accepted. I should be off. I need to meet with Envoy Brett at the embassy."

"Hope you're not going to use those same cheesy lines on her." Tallia laughed, "Have fun storming the castle!"
