Command,
Claude Montana here. I'm the XO on the Badger. Commodore Robinson knows me quite well by now.
*cough*
Anyway, I'm here to report that com- captain Redline will be back from rehab some time today. I spoke with him for a little bit when he was on the comms this morning. He sounded rather... normal for the first time in ages. Although I could clearly hear sounds of a party going on in the background. I wouldn't hold it past him to have turned the rehabilitation centre into a party palace.
Anyway, I received the report from the centre with the request to forward it to command. I won't bother you with details but summarized it stands as such:
- drinking problem solved to a acceptable degree. sidenote: don't allow him to actually get his hands on alcohol on duty.
- drugs use resolved. Went extremely well for some reason.
- Glue sniffing resolved. Turned out patient Redline was able to let the drugs go by switching to glue sniffing. We found out when he was walking around with a tube cap up his left nostrel.
- During his stay, he picked up gambling to kill time now he was no longer allowed to chase female patients and nurses around. Can't be catogorised as an addiction: he's such a sore loser he runs off angry whenever he loses.
- as for his nervous breakdowns: we have given him medication for that. He should be allright if he takes it whenever needed.
- Any matters regarding dicipline should dealth with by the Navy itself.
That's the gist of it. Now, I'll make sure to talk to the captain when he gets back later today and hammer on about how he should behave from now on. I'll also point him to his appointment with the SoD.
