Ben sighed as he admired the third science lab on Deck 17. It was apparent that, should the stardrive section go into battle without the saucer section, the crew would be able to do robotics and cybernetics research, but not actually heal anyone, given there were no medical facilities. Maybe they could build themselves robotic replacements.

“Starfleet Engineers are always the same,” he said to himself, slightly exasperated. “And yet they’ll be the first to complain when they bleed out all over the deck.”

“In their defence,” said Eilah, happening upon the Chief Medical Officer during his rounds, “They don’t anticipate the ship to remain separated. It’s supposed to be a battle only thing.” The betazoid Security chief happened to be a particularly strong telepathy, and had not only heard Ben talking to himself, but also mistakenly picked up his thoughts about one section going into battle.
