(USS Exeter - Sickbay - ACTO Ensign Paul Sleeford - 13:50)

Sleeford lay on a comfortable hard surface, hoping the elephant would stop
sitting on his chest and the Targ would stop chewing his left leg.
Listening to the beeps and chirps had him worried slightly as he could
think of no animal that made those noises, but then he had no idea what
animals where on the planet the away team had been sent to, as he lay there
he wondered why Ravok was allowing his to sleep when he should be rescuing
Bracken.

Slowly opening his eyes he saw the off grey ceiling of the ship, looking
down he saw the walls of sickbay, frowning he turned his head left and
right, seeing no other members of the team made him worry, was he the only
survivor, had the mission ended badly, was everyone dead. Opening his mouth
to speak Sleeford  realised he had swallowed a ton of sand or grit as his
mouth and throat felt like, well it felt like the Targ at his left leg had
used his mouth as the head.

Laying there Sleeford looked round for any of the medical staff to ask why
he was here, spotting a nurse walking past his bed he croaked at her.

As he lay there the incident slowly came back to him, he remembered being
shot, Vespers handing him a phaser while he treated his wound. then
nothing, he had a vague sense of someone talking to him about his job in
security, but he couldn't remember who, trying to sit up he found no power
in his left side,  Laying back the truth hit him like a mark 19 shuttle
coming out of warp. His left leg had gone.  Closing his eyes he left out a
long soft sign, closing his eyes he felt the life and reason for living
flood out of him.

"He should have left me to die"

Opening his eyes Sleeford stared at the ceiling,  listening as the nurse
explained his treatment. As she spoke he realise he'd been in a bad way,
turning his head Sleeford looked at the Nurse,

"Please i'd like to be alone, if you don't mind"

(Reply Silvine)

Laying back Sleefrod stared at the ceiling and felt the tears slowly run
down his face,
