There was an audible snort before she replied, “Don’t thank me yet,” she said, though there was warmth in her voice.

A few moments passed and the holographic Faye looked attentive again. “Okay, I’m ready… now. Let me know when we’er at the thirty-second mark.”

Shon squeezed Kiama’s hand back perhaps a little too hard as his stomach dropped. Kiama’s gratitude for Faye sent a flutter of panic through Shon’s chest, her words solidifying that they really could be about to die. Shon shook slightly in fear as the volcano-storm started to loom over them. He had never looked death in the face like this. “You’re probably better at math than I am,” Shon muttered breathlessly. “Maybe you should do the countdown.” His wide eyes never left their approaching doom.

“Sure,” Kiama nodded and for a brief moment looked Shon deep in the eyes. Still holding his hand, she did what she could to use her empathic abilities to lessen his ear and anxiety some while her main focus was on the ever approaching volcano. She tried to judge it’s distance and the speed at which it was moving. With her brain starting to feel a little foggy, she wasn’t entirely sure if her estimation was correct. It wasn’t long though until she said as confident as possible, “I say we’re almost at the 30-second mark, Lieutenant. In 10 - 9 - 8 - 7- 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1. Now!” She hoped that she was correct and what was more that Faye’s plan was going to work. She really didn’t want to die. If she did, her mother would probably dig her up and murder her again for daring to leave their house without an heiress.

There was silence on Faye’s end as she worked, triggering the backup failsafes that normally would have been engaged. And as things progressed, the holodeck systems detected the danger. Faye triggered another sequence and the internal emergency systems on the ship initiated a site-to-site transport…

As she felt the tingling sensation of the transporter beam, Kiama felt relief rush through her. That had been way too close for her liking.

Kiama and Shon would suddenly find themselves in Sickbay.

Finding herself sitting on the floor in Sickbay, Kiama couldn’t help but chuckle faintly while a single tear rolled down her dark cheek. Now that they were really out of danger, everything that had happened seemed to hit her with full force. She was feeling completely overwhelmed and utterly exhausted. Not to mention that she finally started to fully register in how much pain she was in. Funny what adrenaline could do to you. Brushing the tear from her cheek with her uninjured, yet trembling hand, she looked at Shon and asked, “How are you?”

~Lt.jg. Naim, aCSO

Shon let out a breath he had been holding for some time in an involuntary sigh of relief. The he blinked slowly as he looked at Kiama, his brain not able to answer that question right now. But he suddenly shook his head and jumped up as the sickbay staff converged on them, moving to help the other doctors tend to Kiama’s injuries and ignoring his own for now. Shon was obviously happy to be alive, but the ordeal had left him shaken, and his usual sunny demeanor and talkative nature had been suppressed. He focused on treating Kiama’s injuries first and foremost. Eventually during this process, his beep blue eyes met hers and he let out a single chuckle of disbelief. “I’m glad you liked the musical,” he squeaked out in some semblance of humor.
