“That’s quite a gash you’ve got there, Ensign,” Elaine said as she straightened up enough to grab a dermal regenerator to repair said gash, “What did you do this time?”

The Engineering NE grinned, “You know me Doc, my own clumsiness got the better of me again. I removed a piece of panel to repair some conduits, and ended up tripping over it at slicing my arm on the sharp edge.” the NE winced as the CMO got to work, and looked around eagerly to distract himself from the feeling. “Is Enj in today?” referring to the CMO’s small dog that she tended to have in Sickbay with her.

“Enj?” Elaine looked up briefly from her work, “I’m starting to think you’re injuring yourself on purpose in order to see him,” she joked, returning to her work again. “He’s sleeping in my office right now. You can go see him after if you want.” No sooner had she said that, however, the yellow alert started up. “Then again maybe not,” she looked up apologetically, as she finished repairing the last of gash. Although it could hardly be called that anymore, by the time she was done you couldn’t tell that there had ever been an injury. “That sounds like you might be needed at your station.”

The NE barely admired the repair work, before shrugging on their uniform jacket “Thanks for the fix Doc, say hi to Enj for me!”

Elaine smiled and shook her head to herself. Leaving the remaining few patients to be looked at by some of the nurses, she went to attend to her own Yellow Alert Protocol, thankful that she had left the dog in her office when she had. Without Enj underfoot, and with Sickbay relatively empty for the moment, she might be able to take the chance to inspect her staffs reaction, so long as Sickbay wasn’t needed.

At that very moment, the ship was rocked by the alien weapons fire. Main power went offline instantly, casting everything into darkness. Emergency power flickered, causing lights and consoles to blink intermittently.

Several consoles exploded in showers of sparks and debris.

Elaine let out a small startled cry and flinched away from a nearby consol. Her easy to trigger reflexes were a source of teasing amongst the staff, but nobody was laughing now. Instead medical staff personal bustled around sickbay prepared for any potentially injured crew members from other areas of the ship. After spending the last four years on a combat ships, she recovered quickly, straightening herself up as she assessed the damages Sickbay had taken. The muffled distant barking of Enj in her office made her heart ache, but he wasn’t locked in so she imagined it was his way of letting her know he was okay.

“Ensign Lucia,” she called, flagging down her subordinate and somewhat friend, “Can you gather a small team and do a quick triage of sickbay before the other decks start comming in?” unbidden the image of Bailey lying on the floor, obscured by a biobed popped in her head, “Make it thourough and don’t take their word they’re okay. I want as many staff members on their feet as possible before the rest of the ship comes in.”

NE Lucia nodded and quickly moved off to follow her orders. Elaine gingerly moved away in the direction of her office a hand cautiously feeling everything she brushed past, helping her guide her way through Sickbay after the sudden loss of light. As she reached her office the doors slid open on their own and a black and white ball of pure fulff, rushed out at her. Elaine let one hand drop down to brush the head of the excited dog while her other one tapped on her comm badge. =^= Sickbay to Bridge: We’ve lost power here. Are we under attack? =^=

She tapped her badge a second time =^= Sickbay to Engineering: Can you send up a small repair crew? We’ve lost power and a couple of consols have blown.=^=
