(Gamma Quadrant Planet – Shuttle Michaelangelo –  CSO Lt Jg Erin  Cortez -
1218)


Tapping her fingers on the console infront of her, she knew that time was
short. The shuttle was on its way to pick up their crew and she had a
terrible feeling deep in the pit of her stomach.

A feeling that was only compounded by the voice that came through the comm,

=/\=Vespers to anyone medical emergency two to beam to Sickbay, please come
in, I need to get her to Sickbay, will someone answer=/\=

"Michaelangelo to Vesper. Doctor we are coming in right by you for landing.
We're here to take you back home."


=/\=I have Ailynn, emergency transport to Sickbay I need to save her=/\=

"Doctor, we're a few seconds out. Stand by and we will get you there." Erin
replied fighting against the feeling of impending doom and keeping her
voice as calm and steady as she could.

Looking over at Lieutenant Merek, Erin closed the comm and said, quietly,

"Get us down there."

(Gamma Quadrant Planet - Temple exterior – aCTO/COO – 1220)

Ravok heard the familiar voice across the comm. As he stumbled outside. To
see Vespers holding Bracken. Ravok stumbled a few more feet and fell to his
knees. His face bruised up and the right side of his face bloody, swollen
and bruised. He held his side in immense pain and wheezed as he breathed.
He couldn't see out of his right eye . Jost was now gone , but was the
tradeoff the life of Ailynn? He wondered as he heard a noise from above. He
looked up and saw the familiar and soothing blue hue of the shuttle
engines. It was the michaelangelo coming in for a landing.

Ravok mustered his all of strength and rose to his feet. Making his way to
Vespers and Bracken and assisted the doctor in lifting Ailynn. Weezing as
he did so.

" I got It IM FINE !" He yelled out not anyone in particular. "
Shu..shuttle now" he said nodding to the shuttle. At the entrance to
shuttle he saw the familiar faces of his crew mates.

Stepping out of the shuttle, her breath caught in her throat. Seeing the
sight of her two closest friends, one obviously badly injured carrying the
lifeless body of the other, she took a deep breath, shut her emotions off
and stepped out with a med kit hanging from her shoulder towards Ravok.

Ravok made his way into the shuttle.

and fell into an open seat holding his side. He looked at Keira " Lieu.."
he wheezed.

" Lieuten.." He once again wheezed. " You..ha..have the tea..m " he said to
Keira turning over command of his team to her, struggling to speak because
of the immense pain in his side.

Ravok looked at Erin " Thank you" He mumbled

As she stood infront of him, she glanced back at Ailynn, now lying stock
still on the floor of the shuttle, then back to her friend and said,

"Okay, you need help "

He shook his head. " N..no , Brac..ken" he grunted to Erin.

"Don't argue with me or I will knock you out. Now sit still and let me see
what I can do."

Ravok rolled his eyes and closed them , complying with Erin. His concern
was the others not him.


Pulling out a medical tricorder,  Erin began scanning her friend, "listen,
apart from the abundantly obvious injury to your eye which I can't do
anything about right now, you have two broken ribs, numerous contusions and
what appears to be a dislocated shoulder."

Ravok took a deep breath. He knew what needed to be done.

"Now, you can let me help you a little bit but it isn't going to be pretty."

He raised his arm toward her. Knowing what was to follow.

"My dad dislocated his shoulder once on a hike. I can pop it back but..
it's going to hurt."

>From pilot survival training he knew all about the field medic drills and
shoulder dislocation corrections. " Do it" he mumbled.

Nodding. Erin took hold of his arm, watching at every movement his face.
Slowly, she pulled gently forward, rotating his arm minutely.

After a second, she felt the distinctive ,'pop' as the shoulder popped back
into its socket. Gently letting his arm down to his side, she grabbed a
hypospray and injected some analgesic into his neck.

He groaned and pain and squeezed the armrest of his chair as his right
shoulder popped back in place. He gave her a thumbs up. " Good...I'm good"
he said softly.

"Don't hold that one against me." She replied with a slight wink.

" Never" he said.

"You're going to need some attention back at home. No arguments, mister.
Straight to sickbay. "

He nodded his head in agreement, his eyes still closed.

"Now, Lieutenant Bracken… I need to go make sure that she is stable enough
to move and we can get going. The others are walking wounded so to speak."

" Go ...them" He mumbled.

"I'll keep her steady, just keep the doc out of my way. He's hurt and needs
to let me do what i can for her. I know he wants to help but physician heal
thy self first."

He turned his face to her and smiled as much as he could. " Good..luck
with" he swallowed " that" he said. Knowing Vespers wasn't known for being
told to stand aside but Ravok didn't have the strength to warn Erin.



Walking to her friends side, she put a hand on the doctor's shoulder, "Doc?"

(Reply vesper)

"Go check on the others for me."

(Reply Vespers)

"You're injured, They need help,  I got her."

(Reply Vespers)

"I can order you to go but you need to trust me. I know what i can do and
you are in no fit state right now to help her. Let me."

(Reply Vespers)

Nodding, Erin knelt down by her friends side and scanned her, "oh Ailynn…"
she whispered under her breath as she held a hypospray to her neck,

"Don't you dare give up on me now. You hear me you stubborn cow."

Pulling out a second hypospray, Erin injected her friend's neck with
painkillers and anti-inflammatories to help with the rapid swelling she
could see.

She knew there was bad burns on her body and gently removed some of the
singed clothing from her skin and began to run a dermal regenerator over
the burns she could see,

"Hold on. Just fight for me, A."
