Sickbay

Lieutenant Tyra slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on her back. She winced when the bright lights hit her eyes and she closed them. She felt weak and hungry.

"Where am I ?" She asked when she found her voice around the hunger pangs. "What happened ?"

Doctor Lyn Katts came over to the patient when she heard the tired voice. She opened her medical tricorder and scanned Tyra. She took the readings then closed it.

"You're in Sickbay, Lieutenant." The doctor answered as she picked up a hypospray. "You passed out on the Bridge. You're in metabolic shock from lack of eating. In your case, it's deadly. I've been giving you the substance you need. You'll be fine until we can find another 'mate' for you."

Tyra shook her head. She didn't want another. She tried to get up, but a hand on her shoulder pushed her back down. She glared at the doctor, who just smiled.

"You need rest right now." Doctor Katts mentioned as she injected the nutrients into Tyra's arm. "I'll tell the Captain that you're doing fine at the moment."

Tyra felt the hypospray and she relaxed. Her eyes closed as the injection took effect. She could feel herself becoming stronger and she vowed to find who had killed her only means of food other than the replicator. Her eyes closed as fatigue took over once again.
