"Now, enough delaying, Doctor! We must know if Captain can resume his duties!"
"There are lesions in regions controlling both vision and speech. The corpus callosum is seared..."
"Thank you, Doctor."

Dr Makanee (dolphin physician) was physically cornered until she declared Captain Creideiki unfit for duty. Given the presence of a security team, it was clear that XO would not accept a refusal. Dr Metz (human geneticist) tried to calm Dr Makanee down by assuring her that Lieutenant Takkata-Jim's command is only temporary until the council meeting.

When Dr Makanee demanded that she be allowed to contact another council member Gillian Baskin or Hikahi, she was denied on the grounds that the communication was down until they narrowed a down potential psi signal leak.
