Mission: Prelude to War
Location: Mess Hall, USS Valiant
Timeline: Week 1

Valiant’s sickbay was at capacity.

Small at any time, the three bed compartment now had people sitting against the walls with selective floor space left open for careful walking.

Actually it was over capacity as Jov was directed into Valiants mess hall as he and another crewman carried the Chief Engineer. The mess hall had been repurposed for a triage area. Glancing around he asked, “Um. The Chief’s got burns and then there’s the bit of bulkhead that she’s embedded with that we had to bring with. Where should we put her?”

Lt. Finley stood at the door, scanning as people entered. He looks at Jov, "Have a seat over there." he pointed to a corner that was unoccupied at the moment. "I'll get to you as soon as i can." He moved over to the chief and ran the tricorder over her. "Class 2 plasma burns, a puncture wound to left abdomen. Put her on Biobed 2." Pointing.

Rianna started to groan and at sometimes you could almost here her trying to bark at her crew their orders. "Some one......get that damned........power relay.........before it blows." and she would become silent again. Then she suddenly opened her eyes wild like, then screaming, "Curtis !?!?" and pass out again.

Caine stood elbow deep in a Vulcan, that was badly burned and his shoulder ripped open. She turned as they placed the Chief Engineer on the bed next to her. "stay still." she said coldly turning back to the Vulcan as she use the autosuture to close the shoulder and instructed another crew member to use the dermal regenerator on the wounds.

Feeling overwhelmed for a second before her borg mind kicked in and shut that down. In the back of her head a cold female voice said, 'On a cube, their parts would be easily replaced.' another voice popped up, 'Quiet let her work!'

Parker had been taken down to sick bay, after the battle and how badly he had been hurt it was a surprise to him that he wasn't instantly sent there, He had been asleep for the mist part he was now in writhing agony with his shoulder and his head after he was flung forward into the console, couple that with the excruciating pain in his ribs it was a miracle that parker was even cohernt right now "Pain...Killers... I need Pain Killers" was all the young enisgn could muster as toppled to the bed head first.

Lt. Finley kneeled scanning him, "We need to set your ribs and shoulders or the painkillers will do nothing." Looking at a nearby crew member, "help me get him over there to under the window propped against the wall. "just relax son we will fix you up. Between the two they moved Parker to where Finley had said. "hang in there." as he set to work getting the young ensigns rips to set before working on the shoulder.

"Doctor Caine, report to shuttle bay 2 for a boarding action. Commander Rhal will provide mission prep when you arrive," Commander Tyree's voice carried through the Doctor's com badge."

Slapped the comm badge, "I am on my way."

Jayden walked in. He only had minor injuries and he didn't wait for the nurse and just grabbed a dermal regenerator and started to repair his skin. He then looked around the room and noticed the many people that were brought in. He quickly assessed the patients by scanning. The chief was the one at the moment that needed urgent care. The piece of bulkhead stick out of her side had already caused a lot of damage and he would imagine she lost a lot of blood from the wound. It had to be removed immediately. It was then the doctor was called away.

It was then Jayden stepped over to the bed and said, "Go, doctor, I can preform the surgery. I am the counselor on this ship, but I am a licensed doctor as well. I am a neurosurgeon, you can look it up later in my file." He turned over to Finley. "Nurse, prepare the chief for surgery." He tapped his badge. "Ensign Barjel, please take over from Lieutenant Finley as Triage nurse, I need him to assist me."

"On my way, sir." Teza quickly replied.

Finley looked at Caine for direction before moving to assist the counselor.

Caine nodded to Finley then Jayden, "I trust you will look after the place." She said, her attempt to make a joke. it would only come across as dry and humorless. Before heading for the door.

"stay safe Doc." Finley called over his shoulder as he moved a tray of instruments for the Counselor.

The voices in Caine's head were now fighting each other, a loud rour. Causing pain to shoot through the doctors head, she leaned on a bulk head a second, "quiet down." she told the voices before moving towards the turbolift.

Rhu walked hurriedly down the corridor and ducked into the mess area, his face set in a look of concern as he viewed the triage area. He moved through the room, talking to a few of the crew and stopped by where his Helmsman lay on the deck. "How are you doing, Ensign?"

After a few words, Rhu checked into the medical bay and found his chief Engineer was still undergoing surgery. Frowning, he viewed the procedure for a moment, then headed back to the bridge.

There was a lot to do still.

Rianna's mind had gone to a dream state and felt no pain. It was something that for her was a natural happening and at the present time it worked in her favor.
