"Paul, come in here and give me a hand!" yelled alistair from the emergency area of the infirmary. Paul was sat in alistairs office. He sighed, caught the ball he'd been bouncing for the past half hour and headed to see what the emergency was. The station, even though in the middle of a battle zone had taken no damage. There had been no casualties and Pual found his time in scibay wasted. In the long time he had spent bouncing that ball, he had come to the conclusion that Wallace put him there to keep him out of trouble. After all, Paul wasn't his most trusted officer after stealing a runabout and heading out beond the patch the first day on the station!
Paul stepped throuhg and found alistair scanning a patient with a man in civilian clothing on the other biobed.
"I sought all civilians were evacuated to ze planet?"
"There's been an emergency that the medics there can't handle. These two have come back for medical atteniton. Bring me a tricorder"
Paul grabbed a tri-corder and brought it to alistair. He dropped the ball in his hand when he saw that the patient was Kassia.
"What ze ell appened doc?"
"All I know is that there was some damage sustained on the transport and these two were injured. Kassias head injury seems to be causing major problems though and she needed to be transferred back here as they weren't properly equipped to deal with this on New Canada."
"Is she going to be ok?"
"I would think so. That man there is her brother, he insisted on coming back with Kassia. He has two broken legs, nothing you can't handle. Can you see to him while I check over Kassia?"
"Ok" Paul walked over to the man on the bed.
"How is she?" he asked
"I is not sure. You would ave to speak to ze doc about zat."
"You are Lieutenant Deveraux are you not?"
"Zat is correct" Paul said as he prepared a hypospray.
"Tell me something lieutenant, Captain Tarik... is.. is he alright?"
"E is fine. Why do you ask?"
"Just something Kassia mentioned before she was sedated. She said he was dead! He's alright you say? How do you know?"
"I was with im on ze raid on zat asteroid. It was very close, e was almost killed, but we found im and got im out before ze ole damn sing went up in flames!"
Troy breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the biobed.
"If you would like, I can call im down ere to see er. E is onboard ze station"
"Ohh no you don't said Cherrin. I don't like these readings I'm getting. I'd like to keep her sedated a bit longer."
"Mr. Troy, as soon as ze doc is ok with it, I will inform Major Tarik and I is sre e will come straight down"
Troy looked a bit confused as if deciding whether that would be a good or a bad thing. he eventually managed a "thank you" as Paul headed to help Alistair with Kassia
