The ship rocked and shuttered. There was a groaning as the hull protested the bombardment. The klaxons lit up and the alerts blared loudly, almost drowning out the orders and updates being blared across the bridge.

The ship had survived, but there was a lot of damage. Smoke and sparks filled the corridors. Bethany was moving through the ship with the rescue crews. “Cmdr! We can’t get the injured to sickbay. There’s been damage.” Bethany’s heart raced painfully as she took off for the nearest jefferies tube access.

The damage to sickbay was severe. The jefferies tubes did grant a way around the damage that blocked access, dumping Bethany out down the corridor from Sickbay. Smoke came from the open doors of the sickbay. Officers were working to carry the injured to sickbay.

Inside, sickbay was busy. Many of the medical staff were injured, leaving less available staff to assist the injured. Those who could work, did. One of the medical officers, a Lieutenant and Aasrel’s backup, stopped when he saw Bethany. “Commander! I’m so glad you’re okay. We can’t find the CMO!” He said as he walked up to her. “Lieutenant Izei was injured in the first attacks but he kept working. But after the last round of attacks damaged sickbay, I haven’t seen him!”
