Kelly Chambers had just finished her last appointment for the day when she received an unexpected visitor.

"Commander Shepard," Kelly as said as the red-headed commander of the Normandy stepped inside. "I suppose I'm not lucky enough for this to be a social call."

Shepard smiled at her. The two of them had exchanged a few flirtatious conversations when Shepard had first arrived, but once Liara T'Soni arrived back in Shepard's life, the Commander made it clear to Kelly that things would stay professional between them from now on. Kelly couldn't pretend to not be disappointed, but watching the way Shepard and the asari were around each other, Kelly knew who truly had hold of Shepard's heart.

"Unfortunately not," Shepard said. "I'm afraid I may have a situation developing in my senior staff, and I thought you might be the person to speak to."

Kelly nodded. "I think I already know what you're going to say. Miss Lawson?"

Shepard settled down into a chair opposite Kelly's desk. Her face was lined with concern. "I suppose I should have taken action sooner. It seemed harmless at first, but things have escalated. Strictly speaking, we're not affiliated with the Alliance or Cerberus, so there's no real uniform code, but..."

"Believe me, you don't have to elaborate," Kelly said. Over the past few weeks, Miranda's attire had begun undergoing some disconcerting changes. When Kelly had last seen her, leading an eager young crewmember by the hand to her quarters, Miranda was wearing little more than a bikini top that barely covered her nipples, and a short leather skirt a few inches away from being nothing but a belt. All the better to reveal the body art that had grown to cover more and more of Miranda's skin.

"Not that I can really fault her too much for that," Shepard said. "Not when Jack is strolling around with nothing but a strap across her chest. But combine that with all the rumors I've been hearing..."

Kelly chuckled ruefully. "Not just rumors, believe me." She'd been twice as busy lately with appointments, people asking about "a friend" who had entered into a physical relationship with a superior officer and wanted advice on how to deal with it. Men who were guilty about cheating on their wives and girlfriends at home, but had found themselves unable to resist. Women who'd never felt "that way" about another woman before, but had found themselves swept off their feet and into her bed.

The most direct confirmation she had gotten about the situation was from Tali. When she'd come to visit Kelly, it had taken the yeoman fifteen minutes to get the nervous quarian to tell the whole story. A few days ago, she had walked into engineering to find Miranda engaged in what Tali referred to as "sexual congress" with Engineer Donnelly. "Right there in the engine room, can you believe it?" Tali exclaimed. Leaving without being noticed, Tali had resolved to ignore the situation, until the next day when she'd entered engineering again, to find Miranda with her head buried between Engineer Daniels's legs. The straw that broke the camel's back had been the day after that, when Tali walked in to find both engineers combining their efforts on their XO.

Kelly took notes and set up a second appointment with Tali to write up a formal report on the matter. When the day came, however, Tali didn't show. Running into her in the hallway later, Kelly couldn't get any answers from the quarian, who said she had been mistaken and to just drop the matter. Kelly was confused until she noticed a few unusual forms being filed in the ship's system. The first was a request sent to Mordin from Tali, for a massive amount of antibiotics and immune boosters. Not long after the order had been filled, Tali filed a notice to the crew that the engine room would be sealed for several hours, for a briefing with Miss Lawson on the Normandy's power consumption. The notes from this briefing filed by Miranda afterward recommended that her engine room meetings with Tali be continued on a regular basis, with Engineers Donnelly and Daniels on hand for "extra assistance."

After Kelly gave a summarized version of this information to Shepard, the woman ran a hand through her short red hair. "I mean, I can understand getting a little pent up, being out in space this long," Shepard said. "But Miranda doing this? I'm starting to worry that maybe she's experiencing a mental breakdown. Or maybe worse... that's she's been affected by some sort of indoctrination that we haven't experienced up until this time. If she..."

Their talk was interrupted by a voice over the ship's internal PA. "Ensign Rhodes, please report to the XO's Office," said a familiar accented voice, "Ensign Dina Rhodes, report to the XO's Office."

Shepard furrowed her brow. These announcements had become more and more commonplace over the last few weeks. Shepard questioned Miranda about it a few days back. "Performance reviews," Miranda had explained, and didn't elaborate. Shepard didn't have enough evidence to question her further, although it was difficult to miss the second pair of boots protruding out from under Miranda's desk, and the wet slurping sounds coming from her nether regions.

"This is why I need you to do what you can, Kelly," Shepard said. "Even with all this, Miranda is still executing all of her duties as well as she ever has, so I don't have any grounds to discipline her on that account. It just seems that every second of her spare time is spent seeing how many members of the crew she can work her way through. That many hormones flying around her, one crew member getting jealous of another... it's an incident waiting to happen."

"Of course, Commander," Kelly said. "I'll make it my personal responsibility to get to the bottom of this situation with Miss Lawson. She'll have my full attention from this moment forward."

Shepard frowned. "Kelly, I don't mean any offense by this, but I need to know that you can keep focused on this task. Miranda will most likely try to seduce you, I imagine, and I can't..."

"Shepard, please," Kelly cut her off, feeling a little insulted. "I'll allow that I do find Miss Lawson attractive, but my first duty is to this ship and to ensure that its crew is operating at peak efficiency. I'm quite capable of putting aside any physical urges I might have in order to follow your orders."

There was a moment's hesitation in Shepard, but she finally nodded. "When will you start?"

"I'll go to Miranda's office as soon as we're finished here," Kelly said. "Maybe if I catch her in the act with Ensign Rhodes, it'll make it harder for her to deny her actions and easier to come clean with me."

Shepard rose to her feet, "I'm counting on you, Kelly."

"Don't worry," Kelly said with a smile. "Miranda can try anything she wants to seduce me. I'm strong enough to resist anything she can throw at me."
