It was an hour after all three sickbays had their rush of injured, and had gotten cleaned up and prepped for their next called for need. As a result all those former medical staff elsewhere had reconvened by happenstance in sickbay 1 for updates. NLt Becker next to the CMO handed off a PADD reporting on the current staff result and reports. “..All staff are accounted for and an update on current supply status is ready for you review ma’am.” Becker said.

NE Will near the ship’s Morgue bay, spoke up, “..Nothing to report in the Morgue, no deaths after our recent run arounds..” He said thankfully.

NE Susan head of the ship’s nursery and schooling departments for medical spoke next. “..A few bumps and bruises among some of the children, but again nothing serious. All accounted for and checked out.” She said turning things over to the next in line for reporting to the CMO

Trax too time to send his reports to the CMO. “All is ready for next wave nothing too serious all minor or simple bumps and bruises all that was minor enough were treated and set back to work or duty some were sent to quarters for the night to start fresh the next day and a few others are still in sickbay for observations. Sickbay two is ready for anything. Awaiting for more orders.

Hayley maintained her professional face as she listened to each report. As the last report came in she smiled and made eye contact with each of those in attendance. “Thank you everyone. That was quite the event and you all handled it admirably. You are all to be commended for your quick thinking and professionalism. I have to say I am very proud to be a part of this team.” She glanced around the room, noting it to be back in a perfect state of readiness. “Now would be a good time for those on shift to rotate through some breaks and check in with their families and friends.” Hayley gave the team another smile and headed to her office, leaving the door open in case she was needed.

Once there she sent a message to Dr. Suder in Sickbay 2 : ~Dr. Suder: Thank you for the quick report in and your excellent handling of a difficult situation. It is an honor to be working with a physician of your knowledge and experience.~

Jr Lt Marshall CMO

Just as Marshall finished getting an update from her department and folks had begun to relax and file out or about the bays, the Captain’s voice came over a ship wide comm, =/\= Attention all hands, this is Captain Andone speaking. As many of you are aware by now we had a rough ride and situations arise recently which were the result of a visiting Q entity. The recent oddities of holiday ‘cheer’ and ‘pranks’ were the result of this entity. I trust that within a few hours we all will have recovered fully from those events. If there are any problems to report do so to your section chief, department chief or the bridge as needed.. =/\= She began. She figured breaking things down into chunks for settling folks minds would be best to start.

After a pause Drudoc continued. =/\= As you all are equally aware our ship was tossed dangerously about by this same Q entity. I can assure you all now that the damages despite at first seeming dire are far from that. Already secondary and primary systems are returning to online status and damages bypassed and relayed around. The minor hull breach on deck 44 was the worst of on our damage control lists and that has been secured and contained. What injuries we all sustained though minor, I can confirm we have had no more the serious injuries among the crew. For those of you with children and families you can all rest assured that we all have shared your tumbles and bruises, again we have weathered this transport by the Q well, for which I applaud you all..=/\= Drudoc continued.

After another second or so pause she continued. =/\= Now you all may be wondering why the Q have taken an interest in us. From our brief interaction with them on the bridge here it would seem the Continuum at large is in a heated debate to wonder how we among this fine ship and crew. Would react to various ‘extremes’. To this end we can only surmise that in some form the Q are watching us even now. Debating as they wish to see what we will do next. To this point brings me to the more difficult news for us all. That being where we now are. After confirmation with the astrological science departments it is my duty to confirm to everyone that we are currently quite far from known space. We are currently projected to be deep within what would be considered the Alpha quadrant of the GN-z11 galaxy..=/\= Drudoc said. Pacing a bit now to look at the crew about the bridge one by one, giving a look and presence of someone sharing the troubles and feelings they all no doubt were going through right now.

=/\= I know what many of you are feeling right now, digesting just how far that is. The idea of insurmountable hurdles we face before us now. I tell you now that I share your feelings, your thoughts of home, your family, friends, and loved ones. This is an extreme none of us could possibly have contemplated in our life times. But....=/\= Drudoc paused by Fayth letting a hand lightly rest on her shoulder a moment to center and ground her in the this time. =/\= but know that all of us, from myself, down to every civilian on this ship’s skills will be tapped and used to our fullest potential in the times ahead. Whether our way home lies with solving this ‘debate’ the Continuum has placed before us, or we figure out our own means. No matter what comes next I know all of you will face these challenges ahead with the highest strength, courage, valor, and service I have come to expect from all of you..=/\= She went on.

Turning to round the railing at the aft end of the bridge she continued her speech. =/\= Know that already our science department has detected we are not alone in this region of space we find ourselves! There will be people, cultures, and more that we will meet and expand our knowledge too in the coming days no doubt. Yes, some could be trouble for us, but equally so we can find friends, or technology to help our situation. Regardless though, we have each other, and there is no finer ship and crew I would rather face this situation with then that which I am with now. The end of this trial may not be in sight yet, but it will be resolved and when it is know that we will face it together. I want all department and section heads to file status reports 3 hours from now by 1200 hours today. The Continuum has presented us this test of our character and will everyone, and I mean to show we will not break under the pressures now given to us. Now everyone take a breath, and let’s get to work getting this ship and her fine crew back home! Andone out! =/\= She stated.
