Alexis was in Secondary Sickbay, working as always, when the message came through from Dr. Walker to prep the triage deck. =/\=Kane to Emergency Triage Team 1. Report to Deck 14 to prep the Triage Deck.=/\=

Kane left secondary sickbay in the hands of another doctor and headed toward the lift and down to deck 14.

John received the page from his office. Being head nurse he was required to be alerted when an emergency occured. Triage deck, I wonder what’s going on he thought as he rose quickly from his chair. He grabbed a medical tricorder from his desk (he had one to hand at all times), put it in his belt and hurried out the door and towards Deck 14 to co-ordinate the nursing staff.

Nurse Davies tossed and turned in her sleep. She had been on double shifts for about a week and so, she had some much needed time off (a day really). She’d taken the opportunity to sleep in.
“Don’t you dare wake me up in the morning.” She’d told her Vulcan bunk mate T’Mir. She’d simply raised an eyebrow confused as to why her morning meditation at 0600 hours would wake up anyone. Nurse Davies had, fortunately, slept through T’Mir’s meditation but was woken up by the sound of the triage call.
“Miry, didn’t I tell you to not disturb me?” Miry was the nickname the nursing staff had given to T’Mir. She yawned, not realising the urgency, she rolled over and nearly fell back asleep when the realisation struck. Balls she thought sitting bolt upright. Leaping from her bed she put her uniform on, hastily tied back her long blonde hair in a bun. Brushed her teeth hurriedly and made her way down to Deck 14, not noticing the toothpaste in the corners of her mouth.

Waiting for the medical team on Deck 14 was a text message from Dr. Walker

Good morning, team.
We’re en route to a… something… in the middle of this nebula that sent a distress call because they’ve got a plague their medical team is unable to effectively treat.
We’re expecting up to 300 patients for intake, to categorize by level of infection and subsequent stage of the disease.
Full biosecurity protocols are in effect.
Triage team will be responsible for determining the most and least impacted cases, and collect samples for science to determine what we’re up against.
Load up on broad-spectrum anti-biotics and IV fluids.
Palliative care beyond that until we know what we’re dealing with and can effectuate a treatment.
Dr. Walker

Alexis read over the message, running the numbers in her head. When everyone arrived she read it to them. “Alright, let’s get started. First, let’s get this whole deck isolated for biosecurity protocols. Bio shields and aseptic entry and exit at all accesses points. Start synthesizing antibiotics and IV fluids. I need a team ready to take physiological scans so we can synthesize species specific blood types and antibiotics. I want two triage teams at transporter rooms 3 and 4. Worst cases get beamed directly to primary sickbay for isolation. When they are full, send to secondary sickbay. The rest get brought here.”

John raised an eyebrow as Dr Kane (the female one) read out the message. It sounded like they were in for a rough time of it. A plague? He nearly groaned out loud.

“We can only fit 200 beds down here. Let’s get them set up, with isolation fields ready to go. Filter Masks for everyone. We do not want this spreading to the crew. Get started.” Alexis may not be liked by many of the crew, but she worked just as hard as the rest of them to prepare the triage deck for the incoming patients.

John nodded and turned to the nursing staff. He spied Nurse Davies and smiled. They had recently struck up a friendship, John didn’t know but Nurse Davies was considering asking him on a date. When she could bring up the courage to ask him. John walked over to her and the rest of the nurses.
“It sounds like we’ll be in for the longhaul on this one. Let’s get to work, Nurse Davies if you could co-ordinate the set up of the beds. I’ll work on setting up the isolation fields. Any questions?” He asked and they all shook their heads. John nodded in satisfaction looking around them all and smiling.
“Good, let’s crack on. Preparation is key.” He stated and headed off to look for the Doctor setting up the isolation fields.

Drake walked over to Alexis. “Where are we putting the other hundred? Or are we hoping to move through patients fast enough that 200 will be enough beds for triage?” His eyebrow quirked up.
