Very well...my guards will escort you out.

Are you sure you wouldn't be interested in a posting here? We certainly could use you.

Neither do I, my officers usually are much better about screening visitors.

We are over three weeks travel from Deep Space Nine...but we can see about having you dropped off at a Federation starbase

I suppose by the way you got here to begin with?

I see...unfortunate, we have need of qualified medical staff.

My security officers will escort you to the transporter room

I have no idea, but this is the 𝘋𝘦𝘪𝘩𝘶 and we are in Romulan space...I've never been to Deep Space Nine

I was told we had a doctor that had left Starfleet, saying they were interested in helping our cause...if you're not them then I'm going to have to have you beamed down to the planet.

No, this is my command ship, we are in orbit of Virinat...are you feeling ok?

Oh, I didn't see you come in.

Are you the new doctor, the one that left Starfleet?
