Deveraux was once again sitting on a tilted back stool in the doctors office bouncing his ball against the wall. He was worried about Kassia, and wanted to do something to help, but Doctor Cherrin said the best thing he could do to help was to treat any other injured people and to let him do his job. So Paul with nothing better to do returned to his ball bouncing.
Suddenly, he heard phaser fire from outside.
"The Jem H'adar are here!" he heard someone shout.
"Shit" he said, almost falling backwards off the stool. He steadied himself then grabbed a phaser and headed to the entrance to the infirmary. He peered around the corner slowly to see exactly what was going on. There were Jem H'adar sure enough and plenty of them. The fleeters were outnumbered at least two to one.
Paul quickly made up his mind what to do. He quickly ran back in and grabbed some hypospraysm then back out and as fast as he could to the other side of the open hallway and stood with his back against the wall. >From here, he had a good shot at the Jem H'adar on the upper level that were keeping some Starflet officers pinned down. Paul took aim and fired, he hit one in the head, and another just belowthe neck.
Not bad he thought to himself. I see I aven't lost ma touch. However, he wasn't expecting any Jem H'adar behind him. He felt a rifle but land across his shoulder and he fell to the gorund. Qucikly realising what was going on he fell into a roll and shot the Jem H'adar in the groin.
Thats gotta hurt he thought. But the Jem H'adar kept coming. What zhe? Ohh ya, no groins
He pulled himself to his feet and gave the Jem H'adar a blow to the face, then a phaser to the chest. The Jem H'adar fell to the ground dead. Deveraux ran over toward a group of security officers. Managing to keep a group of Jem H'adar pinned behind a collection of crates.
Deveraux took cover with the Starfleet officers behind their crates and found that one of them had been killed. Deveraux picked up the dead mans rifle without saying word. He started fidling with the controls.
"Lieutenant, what are you doing?" cried one of the officers in alarm.
"No time to explain"
Paul finished what he was doing, stood up and threw the rifle as far as he could toward the Jem H'adar. It landed just behind the Jem H'adar and exploded. The Jem H'adar were catapulted over the crates and landed and landed on the deck, some dead, some dying.
"Overloading ze rifle." replied Deveraux to the crewmans earlier question. He got up and ran into a shop for cover to recharge his phaser. As he fiddled, he realised he was in Kassias shop. Damn, must get out of ere, can't let anysing in ere get broken. He quickly upped and ran out and back to the Jem H'adar and picked up a rifle. He fired a few shots at Jem Hadar on balconies as he ran for some more cover.Firing some more shots at the Jem H'adar, he knocked the head of one with this more powerful rifle. The other two were then shot down by two crewmen that came through a door out onto the balcony. Deveraux heard a cry going up all around him. The Jem H'adar had been defeated. Deveraux took out the hyposprays and attended to as many injured crew members as he could. He also helped the rest to the infirmary.
No sooner had he started to treat the more seriously wounded, then wounded started puring in from all over the station. Deveraux started assigning some jobs to a few of the other nurses and took the most seriously injured through to private rooms where Doctor Cherrin was working.
