Meanwhile Kiama had succumb to the pain and exhaustion and became unconscious. The two NEs were treating her injuries. Their main focus was her head injury. Her broken rib hadn’t shifted, so there was no risk of her lung getting punctured. NE Jones tended to the hairline fracture of her skull and the laceration, while NE T’Mir made sure that there really were no injuries to her brain (other than the concussion) and that there would be no swelling that would cause any complications later on.

A quick scan said that they had been fortunate and no one else was currently in any of the holo-facilities. However, someone was on the schedule soon so Faye hurried to lock down all the holodecks and put up a safety warning that would prevent people from entering without command authorization.

For the moment it seemed the ordeal was over so Calloway slumped against the wall to catch her breath before she would pack up her tools. Someone else could deal with the rest of this mess. Unless of course they wanted her help… in which case they could ask. Nicely.

Shon hopped down from the biobed he had been sitting on and moved to stand over the shoulder of the NEnsigns treating Kiama. He didn’t move to take over and tried to stay out of the way, but watched their work and did his best to hold his tongue every time they did something even slightly differently than how Shon would have done it. There was certainly such a thing as too many cooks in the kitchen in medicine, and treating someone you care for was never a good idea (at least where there were others around to do it instead). So although he was anxious to see Kiama patched up, he tried his best to have patience. Although he felt a little silly doing it, on the off-chance that Kiama could still hear the thoughts and emotions of those around her, he tried to send good energy her way.

Faye stepped into Sickbay a minute later, her face etched with worry. She was still running on adrenaline though and couldn’t help but tap her fingertips to her thumb. Spotting Shon, she moved over swiftly. “I’ve locked everything down and put a warning in the system. No one else should be able to get hurt. How are things here?” she said.

Shon turned and moved in for a brief, yet warm hug if Faye would accept it. “Thank you so much,” he said, uncertain how to communicate his appreciation for Faye saving his life. He nodded in acknowledgement of the lockdown to prevent other crew members from experiencing the same thing. “Kiama’s going to be okay,” he squeaked out with a little less confidence than he had intended. “I mean, obviously she’s stable,” he added quickly, “I just hope her concussion doesn’t have lasting effects. I’m letting people with steadier hands do the detail work.” He raised his blue hand to demonstrate how it was still shaking from the fearful encounter.

Faye had stiffened at the unexpected hug, but she didn’t pull away. She blinked. “Uhhh, you’re welcome?”

Moving over towards Kiama, Calloway peeked at the readings and briefly watched the med team work. “Yeah, she will. My feel a bit uncomfortable for a few days though. They can heal concussions pretty well these days, but there are always a few odd side effects you can’t always predict,” she said from experience.

Calloway glanced back at Shon. “How are you? I am no doctor, but I am going suggest something to drink and a chair. Later I think we could all use alcohol. Well, maybe not Kiama.”

It wasn’t long till the NEs finished taking care of all of Kiama’s injuries. NE T’Mir gave her some mild painkillers and then something to slowly bring her back to consciousness. T’Mir remained at her side to continue monitoring her to make sure that there were no complications and to answer any questions Kiama might have upon waking up.

In the meantime NE Jones walked over to Shon and Faye. “Lieutenant Naim will be fine and should wake up again in a few minutes. None of her injuries were life threatening and we were able to heal all of them without a problem. I’d like to keep her here for a little bit, but you can walk over to her bed and wait there for her to wake up, if you like.”

Several minutes later, Kiama opened her eyes slowly, but almost closed them tightly again. The light in sickbay was just to bright for her just now. Keeping her eyes closed, she instead did a quick self-assessment; moving all her body parts slowly and carefully, get a proper impression of how she was feeling and making sure her mental shields were fully in place. But even like that she could sense Faye and Shon close by and that brought a smile to her face. Turning her head carefully to the side, she slowly opened her eyes again and this time managed to keep them open even thought the light still felt a little to bright. She was feeling a litte dizzy and it took her a moment longer than she liked to focus her gaze on the two of them. “Thank you Faye for saving our lives,” she said softly and just looked the other woman in the eyes for a couple of moments before shifting her focus to Shon. “How are you?” she asked concerned and started to push herself into a sitting position.
