(Gamma Quadrant Planet- Torak Ridge - ACTO Ensign Paul Sleeford 10:25)

Sleeford stood  made his way to the front of the shuttle, banging his knee
as he rose, swearing slightly he limped his way forward.

~When this is over i'm going to have to see the doc about gettin this sorted

Taking a step forward Sleeford felt his left leg buckle under him and a
pain that felt like an elephant had just sat on his knee. Dropping down to
the deck Sleeford made the mistake of looking at his leg, the pumping blood
took a couple of seconds to register as the pain ramped up to 15 very
quickly. Laying on his back he let out a scream that would curdle the blood
of a corpse.

Laying there Sleeford felt the temperature drop slightly as a shadow fell
over him. Screwing his eyes tight against the pain, Sleeford scrambled
around for his rifle, he wasn;t going to lay there and let the SOB who'd
shot him get away freely.

"Paul, Paul I need you to look at me, focus on me ok. Do you hear me?"

Gritting his teeth Sleeford sword and tried to sit up, snapping open his
eyes he scanned the ridge for his attacker.

"Ensign Sleeford, look at me and me only, focus on what I'm saying and
doing. Do you understand?"

Taking a deep breath as the voice of the doctor filtered through the white
hot pain. Turning his head to face him Sleeford nodded as the sweat ran
down his face and neck.

"Ok, you've been hit and I need you to hold this, I need you to cover me
whilst I work on you. Do you get me?" Gabe said handing the man the aide
arm, he deactivated it in case Paul tried to shoot himself.

Taking the weapon Sleeford looked at it for a couple of seconds trying to
figure out what was wrong, looking at the settings,  then at the doctor he
laughed.

"Worried I'd commit suicide Doc, no chance"

Laying there Sleeford turned to his left and fired up into the rocks, not
hoping to hit anything, he just felt the need to do something, hearing the
doctor call for assistance Sleeford slumped back onto the ground feeling
tired and weak, the overriding need to go to sleep was crawling over his
brain.

"Ok Paul you're going to blackout, you've lost a lot of blood and I need to
stop it. I don't have what I need here with me so I need to do this ok? Do
you understand and do you agree?"

As the voice of Vespers came from a long way off, Sleeford blinked and
nodded.  Opening his mouth he spoke in a quite croak.

"Do what you have to......"

Laying on his back Sleeford saw the sky close to a pinprick of light as he
drifted away, Smiling as the smell of pigs assaulted his nostrils.
