Persephone followed Vock to the lisut then led him to his quarters. She was fairly silent till they rounded the last corner before his room. “Are you really ok? You were unconscious for some time, with a pretty nasty head injury. I may not be a doctor, but I know that can’t be something you shrug off.”

There was genuine concern in her voice as she kept her eyes straight ahead, not looking at him. Something about him unsettled her and she wasn’t sure what it was.

“I appreciate your concern, Lieutenant. My injuries are mostly superficial, and my unconscious state was a result more of oxygen deprivation than the impact. My species is very resilient with regards to trauma, as I am sure are aware from your studies.” and he stopped and paused as they walked. He looked at her and said “Unless I am mistaken in my belief that xenobiology is a broad topic of smthe Science Section at the Academy?” His question was not anything other than inquisitive. If it wasnt for the bandages on his hands and the state of his uniform, one would be hard pressed to see the CMO as injured; his speech was direct and straightforward, with no hint of anything other than a curiosity about the Academy Science curriculum, of all things.

Seph shook her head. “No, I am aware of your resilience, Sir. I was merely saying the same thing you would say to me if roles were reversed. Species abilities aside.” She followed him to his room in silence.

Natalie was in her office going over daily reports, sipping a cup of tea as she waited for her new CMO to show up so that they could discuss what exactly had happened. She was getting edgy, something wasn’t sitting right with her. She stood and watched as the stars passed feeling the thrum of the warp core under her feet.

OOC: Moving this forward a bit.

IC: Vock led the CSO to his quarters. “One moment, Lieutenant.” he said and stepped through and let the doors close behind him.

Less than four minutes passed and he stepped through again, clean uniform and no sign of the smudges and singes save for the bandages on his hands. “I am ready, Lieutenant. Thank you for waiting.” and he made his way to the turbolift and to the bridge.

Stepping off, he looked both directions before stepping over to the Ready Room door and pressing the chime.

Vock, CMO

“Enter.” Natalie walked around her desk to greet the CMO.

Seph had followed in silence. When they reached the bridge, she stepped on behind him and moved to the Science station to check in with the NE and make sure all was well.

If Vock disappeared into the Ready Room, she would excuse herself and go back to Science. Something about Vock was sitting oddly in her mind. She shook herself mentally and watched out of the corner of her eye at the new CMO.

Vock paused in the doorway and looked at the CSO. Seeing her remaining behind, he said “I thank you for your time, Lieutenant. I do hope we can talk later.” and without waiting for a reply, turned and entered the Ready Room.

Walking up to the desk, Vock stood straight and said “Lieutenant Vock reporting, Captain.”

Vock, CMO

“Thank you for coming Lieutenant.” Natalie said “Welcome aboard and what happened on your shuttle?” She asked getting to the point.

Vock crossed his hands behind his back and said flatly “We were attacked, Captain.” and then he looked directly at her and the volume of his speech lowered dramatically. “By a Star Fleet vessel, Ma’am.”

Vock, CMO

Natalie looked up quickly “What do you mean, you were attacked by a star fleet vessel?” She said with a sound of surprise and some shock “Tell me everything you can remember.”

Vock gestured to a chair, silently requesting permission to sit. He was tired, bordering on exhausted. It had been tumultuous, the past forty-eight hours. And even though Vulcans required much less sleep than most humanoids, the events were visibly wearing on the tall doctor.

Sitting down, Vock took a deep breath, stilling his mind and organizing his thoughts. “I rendezvoused with the shuttle and it’s crew on Starbase 197. I had orders to report here to the Asimov. We left the station at 0836 station time two standard days ago, estimated time until rendezvous to be approximately forty-eight hours and eleven minutes. Our first twenty four hours were uneventful. I utilized the time familiarizing myself with the crew and staff on the Asimov.” he paused and took a breath.

“Twenty seven hours and nineteen minutes into our journey, Ensign Mclure picked up a faint sensor reading of a vessel running parallel to us, but just barely within sensor range. We found that unremarkable, as the area is regularly traveled. Three hours passed, and then the vessel changed course to intercept us. As the sensors signal became stronger, it was identified as a Discovery-class Federation star ship, registry unknown. It did not respond to subspace communications. It would intercept us and be within communications range two hours from that point. Once it was within range, we attempted to hail the vessel, but also received no response. We identified ourselves as a Star Fleet vessel. We received no response. As the Discovery class approached, it armed weapons and fired phasers and a salvo of photon torpedoes. It was only the quick reaction of Ensign Kavad that saved us from utter destruction Captain. He raised shields just in time and Ensign Mclure was able to maneuver us from our position with a fraction of a second to spare.” Vock again paused for a moment.

“We were critically damaged, but Mclure managed a single warp activation to remove us from the area. The dilithium chamber and engines failed after a few seconds, however. I believe the strain from the activation of the warp drive caused a system-wide failure. That is, however, speculation. I do not possess and adequate engineering knowledge base to determine that with certainty. The end result was an explosion in the console in front of both crew members and a fire in the main compartment. We also experienced a hull breach in the aft section which caused the emergency bulkhead to slide closed. I managed to reach the fire extinguisher and stop the fire, which is when I sustained the injuries to my hands -” and he lifted his bandaged hands, ” - and then rendered medical aid to the crew. It was statistically improbable that we would be saved, but the need at the moment outweighed the potential futility. Once I had both stabilized, I performed what small repairs I could to the communications array. I did manage to get out a single message, but at that point there was a secondary breach and we began to lose atmosphere inside the shuttle. I placed emergency masks on Kavad and Mclure, moved them to the area closest to the engine compartment as I could as that would retain heat the longest, and then placed a mask on myself. It was then I lost consciousness.” Vock stopped and sat back a bit. It was obvious that he was drained physically and mentally. The fact that he was still cognizant and speaking clearly was a testament to either his training as a Vulcan… or the capacity of his own personal reserves of strength. Perhaps both.
