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.

Ben jumped at the voice of Eilah, having not heard him approach. “Blimey,” he started, catching is breath slightly, “well, at least we know you’re good at sneaking up on people.” he said with a smile.

Eilah chuckled. “Always be at the ready.”

“That said, if you do get injured when an EPS conduit explodes during battle, I think you would rather I had some rudimentary facilities to patch you up enough to live through to when we get back to the saucer-section.” he said. “Despite the concept of the ‘golden hour’ being over 400 years old, it’s still holds true.”

“Eh, isn’t a first aid kit enough? Or is your skill not that good?” Eilah teased lightly. He knew Ben was probably right, but what was some light banter between hopefully-friends? “Or perhaps you doubt my ability to dodge exploding… whatever conduits?” He said and grinned.

Ben chuckled slightly, before looking back at Eilah with a smile. He felt strangely comfortable taking this ribbing, despite barely knowing Eilah. Perhaps the Chief of Security was actually a mindreader after all.

“Touché!” he replied, with a smile. “And if your dodging ability is as sharp as your wit, then I think you’ll be safe.” he continued, with a grin. “Although, I would rather have more at my disposal than some tubigrip, a hypospray, and my awesome skills should anything happen.”
