“Hmm,” Brad said, checking the readings while Jarvis prepared to remove the critically damaged organ and replace it with the artificial one.

Dr Jarvis lifted the heart out of the Ensign’s chest cavity and placed it inside the stasis container. He turned to glance at Walker, “couldn’t find a suitable jar?” he asked, his tone laced with derision. There was something deliciously macabre about an organ in a jar of formaldehyde, but apparently the Commander could not see it. Stasis containers laced that certain je ne sais quoi.

“Grow up, Jarvis, this is 2499, not 1899,” Brad retorted .

Gordon was actively trying to ignore the conversation between the bone saws....he was also trying to maintain his composure when they mentioned jars…however his face was greener than normal.

As he picked up the replacement heart from the tray, Jarvis caught the eye of Gordon. “You seem a little off colour,” his expression turned into a glare, “so go and be sick elsewhere.”

Gordon was a little distracted by the heart on display, he gagged a little and closed his eyes them focused back on Cruz…
=/\=Attention all crew, this is the captain speaking. We’re about to traverse the subspace barrier in hopes of exiting back into normal space. Brace yourselves for likely impact and damage.=/\=

Brad muttered a curse, but leapt into action. A touch of a button on the biobed’s console activated a stasis field and restraints on Hart’s body. That would keep him in place, at least, and prevent any loose things from getting into his now-open chest cavity.

Second, he de-activated all the laser scalpels in the vicinity.

Then, he turned to the gaggle of onlookers and said “You might consider taking cover under something,” before taking his own advice and crouching down under the biobed.

“Seriously,” Jasper cursed irately, “they are going to move the ship while we are in the middle of surgery!” And he thought he’d left such poor surgical conditions, along with his childhood innocence, back on Amarok III. Nevertheless, he took the appropriate precautions. The last thing he needed was for something to happen to him that meant he could not complete the surgery.

Gordon looked up at the sound of the boss woman’s voice, “Subspace barrier? Uh oh…” he said before pushing “Cruz” towards the cover of the nearby bio beds. He unconsciously looked around the room and noted with some worry at the number of items unsecured. He was suddenly reminded of something his training staff regularly shouted to the young crewman during training; “Anything unsecured is just waiting to become shrapnel.”

The ship moved through the small aperture with the tachyon burst widening the hole a great deal more and at first nothing seemed to happen. But as the shielding made contact with the subspace barrier, effectively the ship became a battering ram.

The Ogawa shook violently and inertial dampeners struggled to keep the ship stable and power systems took the brunt of the impact as expected, overloading all over the ship. The shaking continued for a few more seconds as lights went dark and the emergency lighting kicked in.

Notably, “Doctor Erika Cruz” was no longer there.

Brad noted the non-existent woman’s disappearance the second he stood back up.

‘Huh,’ he thought. ‘It worked.’

“Where’d she go?! Gordon said as he stood up, he whipped his head around looking for the woman he’d been trying to shield. Gordon hated this non corporeal stuff....
When the ship stabilised, Dr Jarvis picked himself up and hastily made his way back to the operating table to check to see if Ensign Hart had survived the return to normal space.

Gordon looked towards the COS, “Ma’am, orders?” He asked straightening himself.

=^= All section heads, report in. Commander Brookes, report to the bridge.=^=

=/\=Walker to Bridge. Doctor Cruz has vanished, status of Mr. Hart is still pending.=/\=

=^= Brad, I will assume that by that you have a chance to save him?=^=

=/\= That is the goal, yes Captain,=/\= Brad replied. =/\= We’re a bit iffy on if we can restore his brain function.=/\=

Not only had Ensign Hart not been further injured, his vitals had shifted upon the return to normal space and whatever off energy readings had been there in the subspace bubble had left. They didn’t have a lot of time, but they could finish the surgery and induce a medical coma if needed to preserve whatever brain function remained. There was at least signs of increased brain function, if minimal. It was, nonetheless, a positive sign, if hard to explain, though one might be able to conclude that the interactions with the subspace beings and unusual space itself had put the man in some sort of stasis.

OOC: Feel free to continue with this even though I’m wrapping up the sim in other threads and in an epilogue.

Returning to his patient, Dr Jarvis checked the readouts of his vitals; amazed to find that he was actually alive. Well, you’ll certainly be one to write an article about. And your heart will look nice on my shelf, once I get it transferred from that inelegant stasis chamber and into something more gothic looking. Working quickly, he closed the Ensign’s chest.

“Commander, our patient is alive and his new heart is working as expected. Shall we transfer him to a stasis chamber to preserve what little brain function he has, or would you rather we gave Dr Bashir’s positronic replacement technique a try?”
