(Gamma Flyer Borhyas - Main compartment - 2391.03.28, 1422)
"Ok, prepare for first contact." Mr. Fletcher told them, when the Borhyas
almost made contact with the alien ship. A small bump told everyone the
Gamma Flyer had landed.
"Mr Fletcher, you'll need to practise that I think." The First Officer said,
grinning a bit. "Go and help Mr Nerfertii."
At that moment, Mr. Torn opened a commchannel, and contacted the Atlantis.
"Borhyas to Atlantis. We are docked."
(Reply Charlile)
"Yes Ma'am. I'll give the Voice your compliments." Torn said, and then
closed the channel. The EMH sighed a bit, and looked over at the First
Officer. ~If this 'Voice' is injured, you may be able to give him
compliments, but I'm sure he won't respond...~ He shook his head. ~Not
without medical help anyway.~
The EMH was shocked to find out that the STC picked up a phaser rifle, and
handed it to the FO. It would seem that the latter was also surprised.
"Medical mission, Leon?" Torn asked.
"It is necessary sir," the STC told the FO. "we are outnumbered here even
though this crew is hurt and damaged we need all the help we can get."
~Right... fighting against some injured people... what a fight that will
be.~ The EMH thought with sarcasm. He was about to stand up, and protest to
this action, but Torn already interrupted him.
"Okay Leon, just keep it slung unless we need it." Torn said.
"That I will sir." Mr. Nerfertii answered. Which was exactly the thing the
EMH wanted to hear, or else he would have become so angry, that he would
have stunned the STC, just to prevent him from shooting injured people...
"Doc, you'll have to stay here." Torn said, addressing the EMH. "I don't
want to risk transferring your program to their computer."
"Very well Commander.." the EMH said, in a not so friendly tone. "But for
the record, I object. From what I've seen, these people need medical help,
and if you would have to move them here, they may die on the way..."
"Noted." Torn said, but his opinion didn't change. "You'll have to
coordinate from here. Mr Fletcher, remain here and stand by either for us to
get the hell out or for medical transport."
"Yes, sir." Mr. Fletcher said to the First Officer.
"Aye.." the EMH told him, although he still wasn't happy. "I'll make the
quarters in the back an emergency sickbay..."
"Circe, Leon, you're with me." Commander Torn said, and with these officers,
he moved out. The EMH and Mr. Fletcher were now alone in the big shuttle.
Quickly the holographic doctor moved towards the crew quarters, to make a
real make-up sickbay out of it, when Mr. Fletcher spoke up. "EMH, do you
know how to run a transporter?"
The EMH sighed. "Mr. Fletcher... I'm a doctor, not a transporterchief." This
was sufficient answer, according to the hologram, and he just continued
putting beds everywhere.
"I though so," the ACONN said, and worked on a console a bit. "Are you
willing to learn?"
Another sigh emanated from his holographic mouth. "Mr. Fletcher. Although
I'm no transporterchief, I do know how to activate the simplest technology.
I myself am technology, remember? And I've been programmed with a lot of
technical information, which I can use, if I want to. Some of that
information is about transporters...."
(Reply Fletcher)
After setting down the necessary equipment, the EMH started to inspect the
hyposprays. He didn't really like the silence, so he spoke up again. "So Mr.
Fletcher. What do you think of these people we're here to save?"
(Reply Fletcher)
"I think we should beam the badly wounded here." He told him. "We could scan
where they are, and transport them here, so that they can be treated with
the proper care. Instead, they are left dying there..." He looked at the
Ensign. "What do you think?" he asked in a stern voice.
(Reply Fletcher)
He wanted to continue the discussion, but he didn't. The comm chirped, and a
voice was heard. =/=Orderly Zimmerman to the EMH.=/=
~Zimmerman...~ the EMH started to think, and looked at the chronometer.
~14:33... he's early! That is... if he's calling from sickbay..~ "EMH
here.." he told him. "What is it orderly?"
=/=Doctor, Ms Trioska's brain wave activity seems odd.=/= Mr. Zimmerman
said.
The EMH sighed, in a professional way. "Mr. Zimmerman," he responded.
"Describe 'odd'. And please, be a bit specific for a change..." He didn't
hide the sarcasm.. in fact, he was quite good at it. He liked to consider it
a way to get some humour in the otherwise serious situation in sickbay.
=/=Well, Sir.=/= Mr. Zimmerman reported. =/=Most everything seems to have
almost bottomed-out, except for Theta-waves being elevated.=/=
"Big surprise there.." he said out loud. "Didn't you learn at the medical
school that this is a normal thing?" He sighed. "Maybe this will help you
remember it: If it's Theta Waves you detect, the subject is deeply relaxing
in bed." He smiled at this rhyme he thought up himself. ~That should make
him understand..~
=/=Yes sir, I know...=/= came the voice of Zimmerman through the comm.
=/=but her High Beta appears almost normal and the Gamma-waves are through
the roof.=/=
"What?" This was new to the EMH. He didn't expect something like this to
happen. "But that indicates stress, anxiety, and processing of information!"
He was shocked.. this wasn't supposed to happen!
(Reply Zimmerman)
"Ehm.. well, I'm thinking.. just a moment." The EMH responded. He gulped a
bit, and started accessing the computer files. "Wait a second Mr.
Zimmerman.." he told the orderly.
(Reply Zimmerman)
The EMH then turned towards the ACONN. "It would seem that your chief is
relaxing and stressing at the same time... do you know what happened before
she went into a coma?"
(Reply Fletcher)
"Hmmm... did you hear that Mr. Zimmerman? Some sort of telepathic
experience... that could be the reason for her brain to protect itself, and
go into a coma..."
(Reply Zimmerman, Fletcher?)
"I'd like you to monitor this, Mr. Zimmerman." The EMH ordered. "If there
are any changes, call me. In the mean time, put together a sedative, in case
these High Beta and Gamma readings get too high. If that happens, inject her
with that sedative. That should calm her down a bit." ~I hope..~
